# Darkwatch Roadmap
|
|
|
|
Last updated: 2026-04-11
|
|
|
|
A living document tracking planned features, improvements, and ideas. Items move to a spec/plan when work begins.
|
|

|
|
## In Progress / Next Up
|
|
|
|
### Leveling & Progression
|
|
- [ ] **Talent roll UI on level up** — 2d6 on class table, with stacking support; currently talents are added manually
|
|
|
|
### Gameplay Tools
|
|
- [ ] **Initiative tracker** — turn order display, DM-managed, synced via socket
|
|
- [ ] **Death timer** — dying state: 1d4 + CON rounds, d20 each turn to rise at 1 HP
|
|
- [ ] **Conditions / status effects** — poisoned, stunned, dying, etc. shown on character cards (DB tables exist from spellcasting work)
|
|

## Planned
|
|
|
|
### Gameplay Tools
|
|
- [ ] **Party loot / shared inventory** — campaign-level shared pool, DM-managed
|
|
- [ ] **Creature gallery / NPC system** — DM-managed library of enemy stat blocks (name, HP, AC, etc.); quick-add to initiative tracker; reusable across sessions
|
|
|
|
### Metrics & Analytics *(Prometheus + Grafana)*
|
|
Track feature usage and player behavior to understand what's actually being used. Useful once the app has multiple users/campaigns.
|
|
|
|
Event ideas to instrument:
|
|
- Atmosphere effects toggled (fog, fire, rain, embers) — are DMs using them?
|
|
- Character color changes — how often, is it a one-time setup or ongoing?
|
|
- Dice rolls — frequency per session, types rolled, nat 20 rate
|
|
- Spell cast attempts / failures / mishaps
|
|
- Luck token usage
|
|
- Torch timer activations
|
|
- Feature flags (e.g., "physical dice" toggle if added) — adoption rate
|
|
- Campaign creation, invite acceptance, session length proxies
|
|
|
|
Stack: Prometheus (metrics collection) + Grafana (dashboards). Server emits metrics via a `/metrics` endpoint; Prometheus scrapes it. Grafana visualizes.

## Atmosphere & Effects
|
|
- [x] Fog overlay — CSS gradient, synced via socket *(done)*
|
|
- [x] Fire effect — Three.js particle fire *(done)*
|
|
- [x] Rain / embers — tsParticles *(done)*
|
|
- [ ] Snow — tsParticles, not yet implemented; evaluate if worth adding after DM feedback
|
|
- [ ] Ambient audio — optional, low priority
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Longer Term / Ideas
|
|
- [ ] **Formal DB migration tool** — replace homegrown `migrate.ts` with something like `umzug` or `db-migrate`; adds rollback support, checksums, and safer SQL parsing. Current tool works fine but has rough edges (naive semicolon splitting, no down migrations).
|
|
- [ ] **Profile image upgrades** — beyond DiceBear (custom uploads, etc.)
|
|
- [ ] **Multi-system support** — select game system on campaign create (Cairn, Knave, Pathfinder 2e, Cyberpunk RED, etc.); stats/rules/theme adapt per system. OSR games are easiest wins (same basic schema, just different data).
|
|
- [ ] **Containerize server** — Dockerfile for Node server; useful when moving toward hosting. Client stays static build + CDN.
|
|
- [ ] **Kubernetes / autoscaling** — Socket.IO needs sticky sessions or Redis pub/sub adapter for multi-instance. DB moves to managed service (RDS, PlanetScale). Revisit when public.
|
|
- [ ] **Monetization model** — if pursued: charge for hosting infrastructure (not game IP). Fan content policies vary by publisher; OSR/CC games are safest. Consult legal before adding paid tiers.

|
## Completed
|
|
- [x] Dice overlay fix — canvas no longer blocks pointer events during animation
|
|
- [x] Fog intensity slider — wired to CSS opacity
|
|
- [x] Title auto-update — derived from class + alignment + level on every change
|
|
- [x] Spellcasting system — 34 Tier 1-2 spells, 1d20 cast checks, exhaustion, Wizard mishap table (d12 auto-apply with undo), Priest penance, rest to recover, focus indicator on DM cards
|
|
- [x] Character creation wizard — 4-step modal: name/class/ancestry → 3d6 stat rolling → background/alignment/deity → review (HP, gold, gear slots, title all derived)
|
|
|
|
## Completed (older)
|
|
- [x] Campaign CRUD with real-time sync (Socket.IO)
|
|
- [x] Character CRUD — stats, gear, talents, HP, XP, currency
|
|
- [x] Auto-calculated AC and derived attacks
|
|
- [x] Talent effects — stat bonuses, AC, attack/damage, gear slots, HP scaling
|
|
- [x] View/edit mode split, click-to-edit InlineNumber
|
|
- [x] Medieval visual theme — Cinzel + Alegreya, parchment, gold filigree, color schemes
|
|
- [x] 3D dice rolling with predetermined outcomes, character-colored dice, delayed roll log
|
|
- [x] Torch timer — 60 min countdown, synced across clients
|
|
- [x] Luck token toggle
|
|
- [x] DiceBear avatars with style picker
|
|
- [x] Color picker per character
|
|
- [x] Mobile layout — full-screen sheet, long-press adv/dis, roll log drawer
|
|
- [x] Custom SelectDropdown — cross-platform consistent
|
|
- [x] Compact DM character cards — 3-up grid, HP/AC/luck/torch/modifiers
|
|
- [x] Atmosphere panel — fog, fire, rain, embers; DM-only, synced via socket
|
|
- [x] MariaDB migration — replaced SQLite with MariaDB 11 in Docker
|
|
- [x] Auth — email/password, JWT httpOnly cookies, register/login/logout
|
|
- [x] Campaign membership — DM and player roles, invite links
|
|
- [x] Per-campaign role enforcement — API middleware, socket auth, frontend gating
