• Temporal progression system: unlock new tiers and materials as you advance
• Tiered armor sets and tools with scaling stats and visual effects
• Custom projectiles, VFX, and synergy between weapon classes
• Vanilla and Calamity recipe support for all major items
• Hammer of Justice rogue weapon featuring cursor dash, chained parries, cooldown visuals, and a combo-triggered Hammerfall ultimate

Item Creation

See DirectivesForItemCreation.txt for standards and best practices when adding new items.

Current Progress & TODOs

Easter Egg Ideas

• Players named 'Gerson' or 'Gerson Boom' get ...
• 1/x chance for the 'gyaa ha ha' sound effect to be played on hammer of justice dash

Materials & Progression

• Verify acquisition/progression for: Time Shard, Eternal Shard, Time Gem, Eternal Gem
• Add/adjust recipes to match tier flow (see Common/TemporalProgressionSystem.cs)
• Tooltips and localization entries (Localization/en-US.hjson)

Tools

• Temporal Pickaxe: tier-based pick power and tooltip reflect current tier
• Additional temporal tools (axe/hammer/drill?)
• Balance mining speed, pick power, special effects per tier

Armor

• Tiered stat scaling for set and per-helmet class variants
• Set bonus and effects scale by tier
• Sprites/variants per tier (palette or trim changes)
• Update tooltips and set bonus descriptions

Weapons

• Rogue: Krisblade, Black Shard, Little Sponge, Hammer of Justice (stealth, dash, parry kits)
• Ranged: Upgraded variants/tier scaling
• Melee: Tiered variants/scaling, on-hit procs
• Magic: Tier scaling/new staves/tomes
• Summon: Minion scaling/new summons

Projectiles & Effects

• VFX tint by tier color for missiles and bolt
• Tier scaling for projectile damage/AI
• Consistent tier color for all temporal VFX

Crafting & Progression

• Crafting trees for upgraded/variant items gated by tier mats
• Ensure progression unlocks and /temporaltier testing path
• Add in-world acquisition notes for progression

Localization & Docs

• Item names, tooltips, progression messages
• Localized progression texts in code
• Document crafting examples for Calamity and vanilla
• Hammer of Justice keybinds, buffs, item, and projectile strings

Testing & Balance

• Smoke test each tier with /temporaltier [1-4]
• DPS balance pass per class across tiers
• Multiplayer sync checks for unlocks/visuals
• Temporal Pickaxe mining feel test
• Confirm projectiles avoid Target Dummies
• Validate /temporaltier UX
• Armor scaling QA
• Field-test Hammer of Justice dash/parry timings (solo + multiplayer)
• Evaluate Hammer of Justice Hammerfall combo timing and damage; tweak dash interval/cooldown if needed

Notes

• Temporal armor set bonuses scale with tier:
  • Ranged: attack speed/crit
  • Melee: attack speed/knockback
  • Magic: mana cost reduction, chance to not consume mana
  • Summon: minion damage, +1 slot at tier 3+
• Temporal missile system spawns more missiles per tier (2/3/4/5); cooldown scales with tier

Future Plans

• Collab weapons from Undertale & Deltarune
• Upgrades to time shard weapons/tools
• Full crafting trees and unlock feedback
• Visual tier accents on armor VFX
