 It should be noted that from a technical viewpoint, this engine has nothing in common with the [[MADE]] engine used for [[Return to Zork]].

 ===ZGI specific TODO's===
-* Fix the transparency of the Magic Viewer in the inventory screen
+(None at the moment)
-* Fix the speed of system animations (Magic Viewer, exit menu switch etc)
-===ZGI DVD TODO's===
-* Add support for the quite rare DVD version
-* Check for the difference between the CD version of ZGI and the DVD version
-** Potentially higher resolution (Window and/or videos)
-** Potentially different video file format
 ===Nemesis specific TODO's===
 (None at the moment)
-==Other TODO's==
+==ZGI DVD TODO's==
-* Make sure all image rendering is endian safe
+* AC3 audio decoding is a bit hacky, with hard-coded volume adjustments for each video. It would be good if someone could figure out how to do without these.
-* Evaluate all in-engine warnings/debug messages and perhaps move them to higher debug channels (Or ZVision specific debug channels)
-* Convert pointer initializers to ''nullptr'' instead of ''0''
-* Add 'true' UTF-16 support for non-english versions of the game. (See [https://github.com/RichieSams/scummvm/blob/zengine/engines/zvision/string_manager.cpp#L214 StringManager])
-* Fix display of text: sometimes, a garbage character is shown at the end of text strings
