We want to batch render as many UI elements together as possible, significantly reducing our draw call overhead and improving frame times in UI heavy scenes.

Our SSAO post processing is very expensive right now and scales poorly with larger screen resolutions.

Our SSR solution is still too expensive.

Replace our current shader compiler DXC with Slang, a modern shader language with features like interfaces, generics, and modules. This gives us a more expressive and maintainable shader codebase with better tooling support. 

Decrease the cost of rendering shadows by caching the static geometry and only rendering dynamic geometry over it.

We can break static meshes into meshlets / fragments and render them very efficiently, combining draw calls into indirect multi draw calls as well as using GPU occlusion culling. A static map or level can be entirely composed of these for huge benefit.

We don't have a good way of inspecting all resources currently resident on the GPU. We want to be able to quickly glance and filter down what our GPU memory is being used for.

Terrain is currently rendered with one big geometry clipmap mesh. We want to split it up into a level of instanced clipmaps for a simple level of CPU culling, reducing GPU overhead especially in auxiliary views.

Material changes are expensive to our frame time, we can avoid rebinding textures between materials, which in turn lets us instance more stuff together.

Skinned meshes currently can't be instanced, meaning every animated character is a separate draw call. We want to support GPU skinning with instancing so crowds and large numbers of animated entities are significantly cheaper to render. 

Reintroduce multiview instancing for VR rendering, but using VK_KHR_multiview to make it transparent to the rendering pipeline.

Allow developers to publish games directly to Steam.

We want to remove the native material editor, simplify it all and put it in the inspector.

Automatically generate levels of detail for meshes on import, so creators don't have to manually author LOD chains. The system should produce good quality reduced meshes with minimal effort. 

Provide a set of starter project templates - FPS, third person, sandbox, blank - so creators can hit the ground running with a working foundation instead of starting from scratch every time. 

We want to replace Qt with Avalonia UI for the editor UI, a native C# solution that should be easier to work with and faster.

A better performing animgraph system, where in our current system pose evaluation is expensive and fragile.
