* BUGS ************************************************************************************************************

Actors do not react to the dog (they go away but they say nothing)



* THINKERING ******************************************************************************************************





Skills: Strenght, Courage, Culinary, Handyman, Science (Geek), Retro (Nerd), Music


Add door to arcade
Decide how open it, maybe by using a specific key only, or maybe with a handyman and some specific tools we can find somewhere
Add comment on the poster, depending on the character
Allow to pickup coins, some coins should be already there, every time we play a coin should be put in the container (coins are not visible)
When picking coins all of them is collected
Do some fade/zoom when playing


* TODO ************************************************************************************************************


Add some extra stuff in the barbecue room

Purple Tentacle should go first to the basement to check the reactor then to the pool then to the valve and close it.
In case too much time will pass make an explosion (for example purple will catch two players)
Fix the "give" for green tentacle

Have a container with all items from a died player, and make it diggable
We need a way to walk on ladders. Probably from the back. Do we need a new anim?

Arcade room: Day of Tentacle poster in the Arcade room.
Arcade room: Add old consoles (C64, NES, Genesis, etc.) to the arcade room, on the C64 there will be a cassette player with a cassette tape inside
Add lookup in dog room

Complete intro Cutscene, adding variations for each character (Syd, Razor, Jeff, Michael, Hoagie, Laverne)
Add messages for other kidnapped (Sandy, Dave, Wendy, Ollie, Syd, Jeff, Michael)
Do arms forward in all characters

Add recycle stuff to the service room
Add trashcan to barbecue to the service room
Add ketchup not broken to barbecue


Add a lab secret entrance in the home. But use the same system. Maybe in the temp room
Ed room: Piggy bank with coins
Dungeon: add lab door sprites
Dungeon: dungeon door should close automatically when exiting

Define skills and the actions that they will allow

If a room has windows, make it a little bit less dark (like flashlight but without outline) <= use lightning shader

Do coats and dig for all characters: Michael, Hoagie

Have arcades be playable with very simple games

Add secret door from Arcade room to go to the old 8bit storage area (C64, Spectrum, MSX, NES items will be here)
Decide how to open the door
