Items

List

We can have two types of items lists:

• Tibia like list
• AD&D like list

Tibia is more random, and has more items than AD&D, and you are encourage to upgrade your items, while AD&D abuses a bit of +1,+2. I think that we could try a mix approach perhaps, but i do see ridiculous to see pure AD&D approach like in shield+15 ( that is the difference between a wooden shield and a copper shield )

We have the next items structure:

Food

Food Should heal a small number of hit points. However, not all animals should produce meat, like in Tibia, as it just means everyone slaughters all the animals in the game. Maybe we should have a certain animal, like Deer which when killed produces meat, and can be found in forests etc, so you have to go hunt it.

• Fruit <- have one class with all the same properties but can make a number of different graphics so it seems like there are lots of types, e.g. apple, orange, pear etc
• Meat
• Cheese
• Bread
• Sheep food

Properties

We have several common attributes for all the items. Mainly:

• Type
• Class
• Subclass

And some attributes that objects may or many not have:

• Attack
• Defense
• Quantity

Additionally items should explain:

• What slots can they be equipped
• Weight
• tiled id

Art

The visual style of all items should have some consistency. Perhaps one person should be responsible for all item design and drawing.
