==== Fixes/Revamps ====
Stuff that needs to be fixed, seriously overhauled, or improved
  * [[dev_todo:fix_sound|Fix/Revamp sound]] - Fix and improve the sound system.
  * [[dev_todo:Fix Weather]] - Fix and improve the weather system.
  * [[dev_todo:lighting|Revamp lighting]] - More control of lighting for map makers (colors, smoother gradient, etc)

  * Review/redo various [[dev_todo:gfx_needing_fixing|graphics]].


==== Feature based: ====
Completely new stuff, players will probably notice these.

=== General/Server: ===
  * [[dev_todo:Plugin_Logger]] - Fix the logger plugin, and possibly add more features to make it useful on small machines.  It can latter be used for stuff like the [[dev_todo:News Paper]], and placing server statistics on a website.
  * [[dev_todo:LandPlots|Land Plots]] - Allow a player to purchase land and build on it.
  * [[dev_todo:buildableshops|Buildable shops]] - Allow a player to build and run shops.
  * [[dev_todo:News Paper]] - A newspaper that highlights interesting events on a server (implement with a script)
  * [[dev_todo:Player Clothing]] - Actually show what the player is wearing, allow them to modify their appearance.
  * [[dev_todo:Time of day based events]] - Stuff happening based on the time of day.
  * [[dev_todo:Player Economy]] - Let players have more influence on the economy.  Need fail-safes to prevent runaway inflation (smart npc shops), etc. (will probably need more players to make this work...)
  * [[dev_todo:Quest management system]] - Track, and provide information about quests.
  * [[dev_todo:Companions]] - Player-owned monsters, behave (mostly) like pets, but longer-lived.
  * [[dev_todo:Random Name Generator]](script) - Generate random names, for objects, and monsters.
=== General/Client: ===
(many of these have a server component, but they're primarily client features)
  * [[dev_todo:music|Ambient Music]] - Background sounds and music.
  * Revise [[dev_todo:char_creation|Character Creation]] - Redo character creation, probably with fixed points instead of random, may be in game.
  * [[dev_todo:Improved Player Communication]] - Allow chatting between servers, and connections just for chatting.
  * Joystick support, maybe, if someone has a few hours to throw away ;)
=== Maps: ===
  * [[:landforms]] - The naming of various landmarks and features in bigworld (should it be done, or left until someone uses one area?)
  * [[dev_todo:Auction House]] - Place to auction items.
  * Bigworldify [[dev_todo:Pupland]] - Move pupland onto the world maps
  * Fix up and relink [[dev_todo:Kandora]] - Kandora was left out of the conversion from [[:smallworld]] to [[:bigworld]].  It is now one of the many residents of the [[:unlinked]] directory of maps.  I think it would be nice if someone fixed up these maps, and reintegrated them into the game.
  * Finish the quest set for [[dev_todo:Forgotten Town]].

==== Technical: ====
Things more related to the internals of the game, that players won't ususaly notice.

  * [[dev_todo:newmapprotocol|Updated map sending protocol]] - New method to send map information to the client.  Could allow for more layers, and move more animation to the client side to save bandwith.
  * Convert maps to use the [[dev_todo:Quest management system]]. - Quest tracking
  * [[dev_todo:Better NPCs]] - Make NPCs smarter (memory, track conversation instead of just matching a phrase)

==== Cleanup ====
Things that someone should look at and simplify.
  * [[dev_todo:Game Balance]] - stuff currently in the game that seems to effect balance, and probably should be discussed
  * [[dev_todo:Map Cleanup]] - Go through the maps and take care of broken mechanisms and aesthetics.  Also simplify and convert old hacks if they are obsolete.
  * Server code [[dev_todo:server_cleanup|Cleanup]] - Find, and fix redundant and unused code.  Simplify other things.
  * [[dev_todo:Archetype Cleanup]] - Clean up the Archetypes.

===== Concepts =====
Interesting half-baked ideas.
  * [[dev_todo:Ship War Arena]] - Arena fight, but with with ships.  Need some way for transports to have their own ranged attacks.
  * [[dev_todo:Tron-like Arena]] - An arena like those tron games, utilizing transports
