Future Patches
Lets see, our new, patch oriented development schedule works well. It gives all of us short ranged goals to complete right now, so, it means steady development speed.
So, we would utilize this method for the future development.
Some critical features missed last version, also, there lot of unfinished issues, because of of world wide development plans.
So, this is approximate table of future patches.
Inventory Patch - currently in progress. Crippled and monstrous inventory reprimands greatly.
Magic Patch - We should put magic back on tracks.
"Abilities Patch" - It is a bit boring to fight without of them.
"Quest Patch" - We need some gameplay.
Later patches:
"Faerie Patch" - The Fay would be playable.
"Undead Patch" - Legion of D'tish and other undead would be playable. Different aspect of undead gameplay.
"Puppeteer Patch" - fixing up removed puppeteer.

Pathfinding
While working on inventory patch, checked another "bottle neck" of the game - the Pathfinding.
It is really nasty algorithm, you know. It has dozen of repeating iterations, and this algorithm should be run for every active creature (of course, it can be simplified, if monsters can be grouped into units and they would use short ranged pathfinding up to group center, but we have roguelike nor strategy game. -_-).
So, pathfinding is real bottle neck of every roguelike project.
I check mine and started refactoring.
Refactoring isn't finished yet, but algorithm works at least 5 times faster then before!
It means that Inventory patch would also be performance patch, nice ^_^!

Inventory Patch
Let me share some information about upcoming patch.
Our current inventory is a bit too hardcore, well, it is really flexible, but to hard to understand if you are not the person who coded it -_-.
I was planning to make "everything in one screen" inventory, but, well, failed. It looks like useless feature, but too annoying to code and use.
So, right now, we have two screens - equipment screen with big pictures of items and full item description with easy understandable, and second one, container screen. Lists of icon based inventory.
Who said, we don't care about game issues ^_^.
Right now we have finished,
equipment screen programming finished and few annoying bugs,
new art and container screen are coming.

0.0.6a "Inventory Patch"
Well, 0.0.6 "ARRP 2011" in a free flight now and now you can see all issues of FFHtR. Franky, It is a bit unplayable now. Yes, there were tons of changes between 0.0.5 and 0.0.6, but it nearly same in field of fun.
Lets think this realize as new "Zero" point for our game and rearrange development managing.
So, as I wrote beforehand, we start series of patches for FFHtR with small schedule, about week or two.
It must quickly bring FFHtR on tracks.
First patch would be name "Inventory patch".
If you played FFHtR you may found its interface "a bit" tricky. It must be fixed soon.
