[edit] Roadmap
Here is where DH is going and the steps we need to get there.
[edit] v0.10
Code name "Get back where we started" a.k.a. Demo 2008 (probably 2009 though). This release concentrates on an updated version of Interrupt's 2007 demo that runs on all supported platforms, is hopefully somewhat more stable, and uses a few different libraries. Not much will be different gameplaywise and some things may remain broken since that demo. This release is primarily intended to indicate that we are still alive and well and attract additional contributors.
Here are the tasks that need to be completed for this release:
General
(Programming) Configure CMake scripts to make them cross-platform - done (linux and windows) (Programming) Update physics system to Bullet - wip (Archwyrm) (Programming) Fix Collision mesh attachment for generated terrain objects, broken since last release - wip (Archwyrm) (Programming) Implement working terrain - wip (Archwyrm) (Programming) Re-enable previous demo functionality for release * Verify that outdoor locations work - open * Verify that indoor locations work - open * Test combat - open * Landscape properly uses previous texture splatting technique - open * Landscape loads static geometry (trees, foliage, etc) - open * Landscape overall resembles previously released screenshots, or similar quality - open
[edit] v0.11
The next step towards an actual game is an actual town with basic services & NPCs. The town will be an expansion on the Rusty Ogre Lodge location that is there by adding more town blocks to the current one Inn block. To start small, we will probably do a city that's either 3x3 blocks or 4x4 blocks.
Here are the tasks that need to be completed for this release:
General
(Programming) Update scripting system to Python - open (Programming) Update sound system - open (??? current code seems to be fine for now at least) (Programming) Command console element of GUI - wip (Garvek) (Programming) Allow loading of arbitrary weapons and items - open (Programming) Spawn random monsters in the wilderness - open (Programming) Add moon to sky - open
