Initial draft of the 4 player character sprites. Sprites will be static and planned to be animated later once a final design is approved.

Draft ideas for characters revolve around professors. Current planned professors: Drexe, Shen, Kyle. Possible professor characters are Bashar or Schwarz.

• Character 1
• Character 2
• Character 3
• Character 4

Initial draft of the boss enemy character sprite. Sprites will be static and planned to be animated later once a final design is approved.

Considered Enhancement of Issue #8.

Allow for the player to automatically revert to their default attack pattern, considered 'melee', on dropping of an equipped weapon or on running out of clips for the respective equipped weapon.

Considered Enhancement of Issue #8.

Allow dropping of current weapon as action or when picking up another weapon object. Also look into the picking up of weapons of the same classification, as this could count as ammunition towards current equipped weapons available clips, up to a specified total for that class of weapon object.

• Dropping of Weapons
• Ammunition Refill

Allow the ability to pause and un-pause the state of the game. Will require some sort of navigational menu for players as well.

Possible menu items for ALL players:
Resume
Quest Log
Drop Out
Restart

Menu items for MAIN player:
Main Menu

Initial draft of the ground tileset to be used. Ideas for multiple season styled tilesets as a strech goal. Default set will be spring based.

All tiles will be considered items that are not interactable by the player or other objects.

• Exterior
• Interior

Stretch Goals

• Summer
• Fall
• Winter

Implement creation of a projectile object when an action occurs. This projectile will also require collision and cleanup to ensure that performance is not lost when numerous projectile objects are on the screen.

• Projectile Creation
• Correct Movement Direction
• Collision with Solid Objects
• Collision with Player Object IF HOSTILE
• Collision with Enemy Objects

Implement the ability for multiple players to be on screen and individually controllable. This will later be improved on with either:

Initial Multiplayer
Drop In/Drop Out
Combination of them Both

Implement score tracking for leaderboards and achievement progress. Score tracking will include difficulty multiplayers, chain multipliers, and possible other affects.

Will need more brainstorming before beginning implementation.

Implement basic enemy artificial intelligence.

Implementation of basic player movement. Keyboard support for 8-Directional movement. Gamepad support for 360-Directional movement.

• Keyboard 8-Directional
• Gamepad 360-Directional

Implementation of destructable solid objects as a child of regular solid objects. Will be considered an enhancement on the collision system.

Initial draft of the 3 enemy character sprites. Sprites will be static and planned to be animated later once a final design is approved.

• Enemy 1
• Enemy 2
• Enemy 3

Game tutorial for new players. Will not be worked on until game polishing has begun.

Considered Enhancement of Issue #8.

Allow weapon objects to save their current "state" when dropped. Primarily magazine capacity and how many clips are left.

Weapon Masks are not being drawn correctly underneath weapon sprites.

Possibly look into other options to achieve the same effec that would be more efficient/reusable for other assets.

Implement aiming for the player object in 360* around the player. Ensure both mouse and gamepad support.

• Mouse Aiming
• Gamepad Aiming

Reworking ammunition system for weapons to remove the seperation of clips and magazine size.

Changing to a magazine size based system. This will include 2 new variables in replace of those managing clips:

• Ammo Max
• Ammo Current

While the following will be refactored:

• Magazine Max
• Magazine Current

Implement the weapon item class.

Allow player to pickup different weapon classes. Each weapon class should have a unique seperate projectile pattern and firing speed if mouse button is held down. This will prevent an exponential amount of projectile objects being created as they are now with the fire button being checked as 'pressed'.

• Pistol
• Assault
• Shotgun

Implement the ability to pick up items by the player. Current classifications of items are as follows:

Undefined
Any item that has not been giving a specific class or is an unrecognized item.
Instant
Any item that is picked up by the player and instantly 'used'.
Weapon
Any item that is picked up by the player and will be used to modify/affect the players attack.
Special
Any item that is picked up by the player and will be held for later use by the player.

Implementation of basic collision with what will be considered 'solid' objects.
