Maze of Whispers will continue to evolve as it receives updates. Here is what we have planned for the future:

Key: Bold = complete, Italics = currently in progress, ~~strikethrough~~ = not yet implemented

Basic biomes: Caves, dungeons, and forest
- Each biome should have its own vibe/feel
- Encounter tables with unique monsters
- ~~Unique loot with unique appearances~~
Random dungeons
- Each floor is randomly generated each time it is loaded.
- Rooms are randomly populated with monsters, based on encounter tables
Scaling difficulty: Monsters and rewards continue to increase as the player descends
- Each biome has layers with corresponding level ranges.
  - Each layer has its own monster encounter table.
  - More difficult monsters should spawn on lower layers.
- The layer is determined by the starting level of the current floor. For example, in the caverns:
  - The Upper Caverns is limited to level 1.
  - The Lower Caverns exists from levels 2 through 4.
  - The Deep Caverns is from levels 5 onward.
Scaling rewards:
- Each biome has its own loot tables
- Item rewards increase with each layer.
Item improvement through refinement
- Base weapon damage is increased/level
- Armor amount is increased/level
- Skill level can be increased/level for items that grant or increase skills
- Any fixed (non-random) secondary bonus can be increased/level
Basic crafting
- Workbench, forge, & anvil as workstations
- Recipes for each of the basic weapon types
