Speed
After some brutal days of code-scrobbling I have managed to get the average time-per-move down from the completely unacceptable 3.8 seconds to the only-moderately-annoying 1.1. This is still longer than I'd prefer, but my eyes will bleed if I try to find any more bits of inefficient code, so it'll have to do for now.
1. Finish the Epilogues
2. Rework "Staying With Rume" in Chapter 1
3. Finish Progue scenes for his "Uncertain" psyche.
4. Finish sketched-but-unwritten portions of The Confrontation.
5. Finish fleshing out and implementing "Forest" and its people.
6. Add support for Intelligent Hinting (half done)
7. Finish attitude-adjustment Progue mini-scenes. (a third done)
8. Go through whole game and solve any structural / derailing issues.
9. Optimise for speed as much as possible.

This is interesting, what have you had to do to achieve this, significant, speed increase?
Basically a lot of highly technical and unpleasant hacking with the Inform 7 library, as well as a very careful scouring of my code for any routines that were using any "repeat" loops through all objects in the game. (Something that's very easy to do in I7.) I was also able to selectively eliminate parts of the library dealing with light and moveable objects, since Lacuna deals with those differently than normal.
Search the rec.arts.int-fiction news groups for "aaron speed" and you should come up with a couple of the posts I made on the matter. :)
