Our train seems to be speeding up. Here is what we managed to scratch off the list in the last 3 months:

• Loot screen
• Trade screen
• Character appearance customization (the system is in place, all we need are the art assets)
• Options menu
• Char creation screen
• Attack effects / Status effects (different effects can be assigned to attacks and applied on hit)
• Clothes and weapon items visual mechanics: showing/hiding, opacity masks
• Visual attack effects: muzzle flashes, sounds, particles
• Party inventory
• More animation states: more characters’ body poses and better transitions between them
• Attacks of opportunity, interrupt attacks, reaction shots
• Combat AI (in progress)
• Grenades (in progress)
