Roadmap ? about fhdoom HOT 2 OPEN

There is no roadmap, but the next release is not that far away and will include several improvements to the game:

• auto detect native display resolution
• fixed MSAA
• change nearly all settings on-the-fly (immediately visible, no restart required), like
  • resolution
  • MSAA
• apply gamma and brightness at the framebuffer level (doesn't mess up your desktop settings anymore, esp. in windowed/editor mode)
• added FXAA
• added Bloom
• added OpenAL-soft
  - replaced EAX by EFX
  - added smooth effect blending of neighbouring areas
  - reload and edit EFXs on-the-fly/ingame
  - added realtime EFX gui editor
• SDK
• various bugfixes and minor improvements

These things are mostly finished, but not released yet. I am currently in the middle of some performance
improvements and i want to finish these before making a new release, because those improvements could turn out to be pretty significant.

Things i want to look into after that release:

• multithreading
  • job system (game, frontend, dmap)
  • game and render backend in different threads
• networking and dedicated server (nothing fancy, just making sure everything is there and works)
• 64bit
• SMAA
• sRGB
• support for the original Doom3 demo
• some details for RoE are still missing

There are also few things i want to play with that won't affect the actual game, because they are tool/code related and/or require special game content:

• HDR
• PBR
• Tesselation/displacement mapping
• MegaTexture/virtual texturing
• Global Illumination
• various tool/editor improvements
• various code cleanups and refactorings
• support Qt-based editors on linux

Again, this is not a roadmap, just things that i want to look into.

@eXistence

Nice list!

Do you think you could pull various fixes for tools from my Storm Engine 2 into your engine ? (along with Script Debugger and some shaders, like feathered edge / soft particles, etc.)
