Small plugins are plugins that are not expected to require more than 1 months worth of work. Please note that since development can have unexpected surprises, there is no guarantee that this plugin will be completed in one month or less, however I have never yet missed a deadline and have been running this poll for a few years now.
For May 2026's small plugin, would you like to see...
Actor Titles - Allow your player to collect titles for actors, and then equip one title onto an actor to turn Reid into Reid the Esteemed or Shadow Lord Reid, etc. Titles would be actor-specific, each actor would be able to equip a different title. To start with, this will probably not have many automatic gameplay effects (but you could check the actor title in your events) with future alpha updates adding more gameplay effects.
Picture Upgrade - A plugin focused on making pictures better. It would add new picture types such as an Animated Picture for showing spritesheet animations as a picture, text picture to show a text window as a picture, etc. I would also look at making default pictures better where possible by making any hard coded properties available for customization through the plugin. Most likely the initial alpha version will focus only on a few features as it will be created as a small plugin, what is described here may not all be part of the first release.
Armor Sets - Allow the player to equip a set of armor, and get bonuses for doing so. For example, give +25 attack bonus for equipping all 4 pieces of dragon armor in your game. The actor could have multiple set bonuses active at one time if they have equipped the relevant pieces of gear, allowing for things like 2 and 4 set bonuses, or a traditional armor bonus + an accessory set bonus.
Battle Objectives - Add objectives to your battles, such as finishing the battle in under 5 turns, not using items, etc. This would not impact battle loss / escape / win. It would handle displaying the objectives and tracking if they are accomplished / not accomplished and set a switch to ON/OFF depending on if objectives were completed for use in your events.
Troop Upgrade - A plugin that would help you create troops that include more than 8 enemies, allow you to re-use troop events from the first troop in your database, show a name for your troops at the start of battle, randomize enemy placements, and any other troop related features you might find useful in your game.
Skill Equip - A plugin that makes your player equip skills, with unequipped skills not being available in battle. Each actor would only be able to equip a certain amount of skills, to add more strategy to your game.
At 11:59PM CDT April 30 (Thursday), this poll will close and I will start working on the plugin with the most votes. In case of a tie, I will choose one of the plugins that received the most votes.
