                               Future plans list


      
       This file lists my plans for the game in the future. If there is
       some other feature(s) you would like to see implemented, then by
       all means, let me know! :)
      


                                  RIP SUPPORT
      
       I am going to add RIP support. At first, this will not be
       anything fancy, as I really suck at RIP & ANSI art. But like I
       mentioned above, if the game becomes popular, I will obtain some
       really nice RIP screens for the game, and maybe even some nice
       ANSI's also! Before I add RIP, I want to get everything working
       properly.
      


                                SCRIPT SUPPORT
      
       I'm not too sure about this one. I can add this support, but I
       will only do so if enough people would like to see it, and would
       use it. Script support would allow the non-programming SysOp to
       easily write his/her own add ons for the game. It would be a
       very powerful script language, yet very easy to use.
      
       *** I have begun work on script support and hope to have it ***
       *** ready for v1.05, or v1.06 Wide Beta.                    ***
                   * This has been put on hold for a while *
      


                               INTERBBS SUPPORT
      
       This would allow BBS's to compete against each other. Each BBS
       could have its own planet. The players on each BBS would compete
       against the players on the other planets (other BBS's). All of
       this support would be integrated into the game, and there would
       be no need for external programs (aside from your mailer). G5
       would handle all of the external file routines such as zipping
       the game files to be sent to other BBS's you are competing
       against, and creating the message for your mailer with all of
       the proper flags for FIDO.
      


                                MORE CARD GAMES
      
       I will be adding more card games to the option at the inns,
       (J)oin in on a card game. Right now it is a simple pick where
       the queen is and you win. I am going to add a choice of which
       kind of card game the player would like to play when they press
       J. Since I'm not a card player (at all!), I will be having
       someone help me with this, so the games will be accurate.
      


                              A BETTER STORY LINE
      
       I realize that the game does not have much of a story line. I am
       going to start work on this after it has been determined that
       most bugs have been found and fixed (after all, the game is still
       in the wide beta stage). This will also add a new twist to the
       game after a player (or more) has beaten the Raven Morpheous.
       What they will have to do next, is find out who is responsible
       for building the monster known as the Raven, and destroy him!
       After a player has achieved that goal, then the game has truly
       been won, and must be reset. Please keep in mind that this has
       not been added yet, and it is just my idea for what the game will
       become in the near future! ;>
      


                              CUSTOMIZED PROMPTS
      
       I have been toying with the idea of adding the ability to
       customize the prompts throughout the game. This would allow you
       to change the colors of all prompts, the actual text of the
       prompts, and even the languages of the prompts! You would also
       have the option of giving your users the option to choose between
       several different types of prompts. Anyone who is interested in
       this, let me know, because I'm not sure if anyone would care to
       use it or not! ;>
