Milestone1 is 'scheduled' for the end of the month, so there isn't
really all that much time left, so I would like to keep it simple for
the start. If we get two ice themes (one above the ground, another
cave based), probally another one for boss-levels and another one for
the worldmap ready, together with background-tiles, enemies and around
15 levels and even get that tested and especially fun to play
(difficult, but should be doable), than the goal of Milestone1 is
reached. The goal is after all to get a small, but fun game, not the
best jump'n run ever. If we get additional themes finished (enemies,
tiles, etc), then they can be included as well, if however they only
get half finished, we should better leave them out in milestone1 and
better polish them and create a milestone2.

Christopher has created some enemy sketches which would fit very nicly
into a wasteland theme, but beside that there is currently no effort
to create addional themes. I might create myself a jungle-like theme,
but only if the ice-theme is really finished.
