To Do

Engine:

• System for off-screen (off-load) simulation
  • Use an alternative model for everything? i.e. rewrite all features in a low-res system?
  • Or find a better way to systematically simulate the world piece-wise?
• Optimizations
  • Merge all character and item sprites to a single VBO
  • Implement Frustrum Culling

World-Gen:

• Improved height-map realism
• Climate Model
  • Wind, Humidity, Temperature Simulation
  • Weather Effect Derivation
  • Hydraulic Erosion
  • Wind Erosion
• Vegetation Model
  • Use climate model to sample from plant distribution
  • Write a "vegetation propagator"
  • Growth and rebirth cycles for vegetation
• Water Model (How is it represented?)
  • Oceans, Lakes, Rivers

Bots:

• Improved Sprites
  • Normal Mapping for Dynamic Shading
  • Paper Sprite Model for dynamic sprite appearances
  • Standardized animation set
• Decision making process for bots
• Improved primitive task set
• Property set for bots
  • Age and Appearance
  • Abilities / Stats?
  • Quantification systems?
  • Preferences?
  • Health System
• Group structure
  • Probably based on an oriented graph
• Add some animals to populate the world
