	☐ Item system
		☐ we need to finish off the remaining bits of our item system; probably the last few bits are that we could stand to have are:
			☐ a good visual explanation of our "element" system
				- I'm thinking of actually representing the "elemental" aspects you've unlocked (i.e. fire, acid, arcane, etc) in the menu, explicitly.
		☑ Remove blue rectange from automap
		☐ Make sure prospera's shop is reliably populated.
		☐ Make sure we've got a decent treatment in the user menu for all the trophies you've picked up.
	☐ Ability polish
		- Taking our abilities and actually working them into enemy designs so that particular hero abilities work really well in certain situations.
	☐ Story segments
		☐ A reprise of the airplane boss (where Ralph is piloting the plane) right before milgram would be excellent.
		☐ There are a few emotional/narrative beats we need to work on.
			- Enumerate these.
	☑ Graphics enhancements
		☑ We can essentially do to them what we did to the dungeon walls - a little perspective and a little texturing will probably make them look dramatically better without needing to gut everything and replace it.
			- Cannonbreed ought to be able to help us with that house graphics stuff.
		☑ Finish off the forest house interiors;  we've basically "prototyped" the graphics set by using it for Prospera's house - but we need to roll this out across all the other forest houses.
