-
-## Noms de personnages
-
-Les noms des personnages dans les histoires ne sont pas traduits à l'affichage. Loreline ne propose a priori pas de système de traduction pour les noms de personnages donc il faudra des clés de traductions dédiées.
-
-## Partir à l'aventure
-
-Lorsqu'on débloque "Partir à l'aventure" mais qu'aucune aventure n'a été lancée il faut ajouter une incentive plus claire à lancer la première aventure. L'entrée devrait avec le préfix (new) ou (nouveau) et être en couleur (si la couleur est débloquée) tant qu'une aventure n'a pas été faite.
-
-## Retouch aventure Space
-
-Dans cette Space aventure, la fin tombe un peu abrute: le concours d'ouverture de boite n'a pas lieu, "Trade items with Zx'thorp" tourne court également. 
-
-Attendu: Il faudrait un fin un peu plus sympa ou couper plus tôt (l'aventure peu être plus courte si besoin: la perfection est atteinte non pas lorsqu'il n'y a plus rien à ajouter mais plus rien à enlever !)
-
-Dans cette Space aventure le fuel semble être un sujet sauf qu'en réalité on ne peut pas tomber à court. Ce serait bien de rendre ce state vraiment utile (ex: si on utilise le fuel tôt on ne peut plus l'utiliser plus tard).
-
-## Unavailable
-
-Plutôt que d'avoir "unavailable" pour un choix à condition, ce sera mieux de donner un indice sur ce qu'il faut.
-Ex: "(Si j'avais plus de force…)" ou "(Si j'avais des jambes adaptées…)"
-
-## Journal d'événements
-
-pas utile après test: à supprimer complètement.
