Short-range Milestones

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 town that's either 3x3 blocks or 4x4 blocks.

Here are the tasks that need to be completed for this release:

Long-range Goals

These are goals which will be assigned to a specific milestone at some point. Some have been better conceptualized than others, however unlike the medium-range goals it is inadvisable to start working on any of these without first consulting someone knowledgeable about them. Thus the goals are mostly here to give interested persons a glimpse into DH's future. All of these have been discussed at one time or another (usually multiple times), so the forums contain a lot more information about these.

Status	Task	Priority	Assigned To	Category	Category
