Thanks SoftArts!

I'm sorry, but I defnately do not want to have a minimap.
I never expected that so many people would have problems with the menu, I didn't even invent it, but maybe the 'Secret of Mana - Generation' is too long ago....

It's that simple:
Up-Down Arrows lead through it:
-> Status-ring
-> Potion-ring
-> Ability-ring
-> Weapon-ring
-> Spell-ring

The Icon 'Armor' in the Status-ring leads to a 'sub-ring-system':
-> Body-armor
-> Arm-armor
-> head-armor

If 'Esc' was the button to enter and 'Enter' the button to activate, nobody would have pushed 'Esc' again to activate a weapon or menu icon for sure!

Maybe you're right with the archery animation... (I think I know that picture ^^) I put it onto my ToDo-List!

The actual List:
- Attack-speed (there'll be an NPC setting the status values up to see the speed at the end of the game (I got some swords in real life, only because in diablo you can attack in lightspeed it doesn't mean reality is like it).
- Shaded Terrain (already done)
- Map borders (still no idea)
- Animation blending (maybe the last thing to do if I've got the time to do it)
- Camera zoom-out while running (already done)
- Brighter nights (switchable with F9)
- Sea Hunger die animation (already made more recognizable)
- Better Splashscreen (I'll have to be creative)
- Armor evaluation with up/ down arrows (already done)
- Weapon attack power and evaluation with up/ down arrows (already done)
- Framerate can be shown by pressing F11, combined with the FPS under 25 warning (FPS-Control) (already done)
- Little collision bugs (not for the player, but should be done)
- Archery animation (we'll see what my time says)
- First Dragon (I got a bunch of ideas for that, it must get great, maybe with a teleport to a battle arena)


Now some screens of a few done things:
The weapon's attack shown, and marked with arrows if it's better or worse.


Dark nights switchable:

Terrain shading and camera zoom when running.
