Stats

Equipment list and stats.
Spell list and levels.
Inventory list.

Task, description, progress bar.

• I should have images for loot and creatures.
• Quality modifiers on everything.
• Stack modifiers.
• Crafting/modication to remove/add modifiers?
• Storage?

There seems to be a task-queueing system for pre-planning how to handle "cinematic" sequences in the infinite "plot".

I wanna make the quests actually rely on something being done.. maybe that's already how it works? At least with fetch quests, you have to find the item?

I think different monsters at different levels is appropriate.

I need to slow this way the fuck down in comparison, so that when I'm TTSing, it doesn't just keep happening immediately and overwhelm. Also I should definitely have little battle animations.

• characters need a recklessness stat to determine how far they push

I think I'm starting to scope creep. I need to keep things simple but visually interesting.

Equipment is generated based on level, but random, so lots of downgrading.

• SpecialItem: InterestingItem of ItemOfs
• InterestingItem: ItemAttrib Specials

special characters:

• Demi, who does 1 backflip
• Anti Juandez, who is made-up
• Zargon

I want exploration, generated or discovered areas. And a map.

• fishing
• Sims elements / life sim elements
• mining
• construction
• agriculture

Prefixes

Sick modifiers: dead, comatose, crippled, sick, undernourished
Young: foetal, baby, preadolescent, teenage, underage
Big: greater, massive, enormous, giant, titanic
Special:

• no spaces: veteran, cursed, warrior, undead, demon
• spaces: Battle-, cursed, Were-, undead, demon

If a randomly selected monster is too low level, it is imaginary. Then Sick, Young, no modifiers, messianic, Big, Special.

Quests

• Exterminate the monsters
• Seek InterestingItem
• Deliver this BoringItem
• Fetch me BoringItem
• Placate the monsters

Quest completion triggers a reward: spell, equipment, stat, item

Tasks

• I have to make a stat called consider
• Progress bars should be set within a manager (like timers) so one global draw function draws them all.
