And next up...

Version 0.11 will likely center around monsters. Now that the hero has Powers, it's only fair if we get skeletal archers and goblin witch-doctors.

Features coming up soon that will probably go towards 0.11

• Monsters will have four slots available for powers: physical melee, physical ranged, magical melee, magical ranged
• Move Powers to config files so they're easy to alter/add
• Add A* pathing to help monsters navigate around obstacles
• Enemies enter combat when their nearby ally enters combat
• Render a few equipment variations of existing monsters

Anything much further ahead is wildly subject to change, but here's a rough roadmap to the future. Some of these might be broken into multiple releases.

0.12

• NPC Vendors
• NPC Dialog
• Very primitive quests

0.13

• Title Menu
• Load/Save Game Menu
• Character Creation Menu
