Engine

• procedural terrain generation
• reflection: barrels, floors (tile, metal), glass, mirrors (blurry), most metallic surfaces, walls (some), weapons, wet road (demo); pixel shaders; see environmental texture mapping
• shadows: vertical angle adjustment, fading; NPCs, moving objects, player character
• skeletal animation: ?
• texture: 16-/32-bit depth?
  • filtering: bi-/trilinear?
  • mapping: bump, environmental, mip, procedural
  • decals: bullet holes?, explosion blasts?, tire skid marks
• transparency: fire, glass, light beams, projectile trails, smoke, steam, water
• other: pixel/vertex shaders (reflections)

Atmospheric/environmental effects

• dirt: tires
• particle effects: liquid (engine oil, fuel, pee/piss/urine--+drunken, water), smoke, sparks
• shaking: ?
• smoke: overheating vehicle engines, fire, tires
• sparks: fireworks, wheel-less vehicle axels dragging on ground/road
• weather: dynamic (demo), rain (demo)
  • wind: powerlines, vegetation (bushes, trees)
  • other: explosions, fire, gas spray, weapon projectile trails?; see particle effects, physics

Lighting

• dynamic
• colored
• vertex & lightmap?
• day-night cycle
• flickering streetlights
• ceiling fans, chameleon scale models, fire, firework?, flashlight, lamps, lightbulbs, neon tubes, police light, streetlights, taxi sign, vehicle lights

Physics

• gravity: characters, most objects
• friction, inertia, momentum, weight
• weight: affects vehicle handling, 70kg+ forces player character to walk
• collision detection
  • ragdoll bodies
  • hold objects (most pickupable objects): cargo beds/racks (+lock-in-place), trash cans, vehicles (+LIP), wood crates (+LIP)
• explosion force pushes/breaks objects

Character

Player character

• actions/controls/moves: brush, clean/shine, crouch, drink, eat, flip vehicle over, jump, pick up/drop, rotate object, run, fire/shoot weapon, start/stop vehicle ignition, urinate, walk, zoom view
  • vehicle: accelerate, brake, disengage/engage handbreak, shift gear down/up, towing
• clothing: boots, pants, shirts (long-sleeve, tanktops)
• footsteps: asphalt/concrete, dirt, wood
• view: 1st-, 3rd-person
  • pan: keyboard/mouse (+ vehicles)
  • zoom: binoculars, character control
• other: hunger, thirst, drinking alcohol causes screen distortion

NPCs

• zombies

Environment

• # levels: 1
• locations: desert; bars, dumps, garages, gas stations, house, minefields, motels, radio towers, water towers
• cutscenes: no
• puzzles: get on building roofs

• attach: amplifier speakers, call bells, dishware plate ("golden breakfast"), fans, keychains (suction cup trinket rings), lamps, laser projectors, LED controllers, neon controllers, police light, plungers, seat mounts, shark fins, suction cup mats, taxi signs, trampolines, trophies
  • vehicle parts: antennae, batteries (+lids), bumpers, cargo beds/racks, covers/hatches/lids, dashboards, doors (+panels, mirrors), engines, engine compartment covers, exhaust modifiers, floormats, fuel tank cover, gear shifters, glovebox covers, grilles, handbrakes, hoods, horns, hubcaps, ignitions, license plates, lights (head-, interior, neon tubes, tail-, turn signals), panels (cargo partition), pedals, radiators, radios, seats, seatbelts, steering wheels, table (folding), tires, trims, trunks, turbochargers, wheel rims, windows
• break: cactus, fences (chainlink, barbed wire), gas pump, vehicles (parts come off)
• explode: gas pump
• move: breakable objects, crates (wood), engines, metal sheets, radiators, vehicle (frames, parts); see attachable/pickupable objects
• open/close: doors (normal, cabinet, locker, fence gate, outhouse, vehicle), gift boxes/presents (-close), liquid container caps
• pick up: attachable objects, barrels, batteries, bottles (glass beer, "Jus de Mynthos"), brushes (wire), cans (beer, energy, food, fuel/gas, jerry, soda, spray paint), cardboard boxes, chairs (barstool, dining, lounge), clothing, crates (wood), dolls (baby, inflatable man), DVDs, fans, flashlights, fleshlights, food (burgers, hot dogs), gas pump nozzles, guitars, health (first-aid kits), lamps (floor), lightbulbs, megaphones, night-vision goggles ("Item Detection Spectacles"), pallets, payphone handsets, picture frames, plushies/stuffed animals (monkeys, teddy bears, turtles), rubber chickens, sponges, tires, tools (wrench), traffic cones, trash bags, trash cans, vehicle parts, weapons: guns (AK-47, RPG (rocket-propelled grenades)), wood (planks)
• ride: vehicles, anything moving
• throw: pickupable objects (turn player character, flick mouse in direction, release)
• other: activate (disco ball, DVD player, fans, prize machine, soda machines), fill/empty/siphon/transfer liquid (diesel, engine oil, petrol, piss, water) containers (barrels, fuel/jerry cans), insert/remove DVD, spray paint vehicle frames/parts, pull slot machine lever, remove lightbulb (ceiling fans), turn on/off light switches (-missing lightbulb); see #physics
