- ~~Minimize amount of possible null references.~~
- ~~TextDataResource providing a convenient wrapper around TOML data files.~~
- ~~Add documentation for common classes.~~
- ~~Hot reloading of resources.~~

## I/O

## Serialization

- Serialize attribute.
- Add automatic serialization of resources through code generation and System.Text.Json.
- ~~Provide means for fetching key/value configuration (INI? TOML?)~~
  - Expose some sort of ConfigFile class for safe key/value configuration fetching.

## Rendering

- ~~API for drawing textured quads~~
- ~~Camera API~~
- Arbitrary mesh rendering API.
- Create WebGPU renderer (StandardRenderer)

## Audio

- ~~Integrate FMOD~~
- 2D audio abstraction

## Misc

- ~~Asset manager~~
- ~~Separate engine and game into separate projects~~
- Particle system 2.0
  - Reduce the size of Particle struct by infering most parameters through lifetime.
  - Reduce cache misses by utilizing SoA.
  - SIMD acceleration.

## SceneGraph module

- Layers (sorting mechanism)
- Full overhaul using Entity Component architecture (not to be mistaken with ECS).
- Save/load scenes from file

## Input

- ~~Action system~~
- Make action system use an InputMap resource instead.
- Gamepad support

## UI

- Immediate mode API.
- Styling.
- Basic input elements (button, text field, toggle).
- Containers (vertical and horizontal).
