Bugs

FIX NOW!

• Reset doesn't work in the debug/release executable.
• Jumping doesn't work when gravity points to the ceiling, the collision normal against the ceiling is (0,1,0) but it should be (0,-1,0)
• You can charge right through a wall...... Non Issue!
• Particle effects don't work through reset</strike
• <strike> Charging particles stay alive

Probably should fix

• Quitting has an error because the Monster destructor tries to set the HUD, and I think it's already deleted

Probably won't fix

• Variable number of particles is wonky

Making the game fun

• Fix lag o_o
  • Fewer Tentacle Rage Particles
  • Fewer Fog Particles
• Faster turning camera
• Test with INIT_HEALTH = 100, change damage numbers (bullets, fireballs, etc.) so they make sense
• Show player title in stats and tutorial
• Test/Fix Start screen
• Better bullet graphics (different texture?)
• Visualize target in FPV
• Make the harpoon a stun gun when it hits a tentacle
• Make bullets moar dmg, big delay between every bullet, no bounce
• Increase gravity interval
• Decrease 0-G interval
• Platforms:
  • 5 moving: middles of walls
  • 5 static: corners and center
  • 3 crates
• Increase platform size by 4
  • Make sure harpooner can harpoon itself and others onto platforms
• Change charge into invincible mode for small period of time with delay in between
• Story at the beginning

• Making powers slightly more overpowered/fun.
• Extend play time: More Phases - Make them automatically switch or making some player switch.
