We have lots of ideas for new features and enhancements. Maybe too many ideas. We could use some help deciding what to work on first. Our main ideas are listed below -- please use the Granite2 Features Poll on the right to vote for your favourite, or contact us if your favourite feature is not on the list.
Smarter AI
The artificial intelligence (computer skip) is quite smart, but could be better. The goals for this feature are to make the AI harder to beat and make it more realistic.
Custom Teams
As of version 2.1, there is a limited ability to customize your team by setting the overall skill level. This feature will allow you to customize the name, appearance, and many individual skills (sweeping power, sweeping endurance, line accuracy, weight accuracy, maximum weight, etc).
Career Mode
Career mode will allow you to enter virtual bonspiels and leagues against computer opponents. It will include the addition of many computer teams to play against.
Online Play
With online play, you will be able to play against friends (or strangers) in your local network or over the internet. A match-making website for finding opponents will be included.
More Venues
We would like to add additional venues (rinks and arenas) for games. Each venue would look different and have its own ice conditions.
3D Curlers
We intentionally left out 3D curlers on the ice surface because they don't add much to the game. Maybe you disagree. If so, vote for 3D curlers in the feature poll.
Mac Version
We occasionally get requests for a Mac OS X version. We would love to make one, but we need to know that the demand is real.
