Y’know, there’s been quite a few Q&A’s in the official Realm discord, as well as quite a couple responses to sent-in feedback. Sometimes, those have been answered with something along the lines of “it’s not possible/feasible now, but we’ll add it/discuss it/consider it after Unity!”
I decided to spend roughly 3 hours or so combing through both of those related channels and compiling a list of stuff that was more-or-less promised like that, for everyone’s “convenience” (it’s not really that convenient).
This doesn’t include Producer’s Letters, unfortunately. I reckon that those are more widely-known, though ^u^
Also some of these things might bee implemented pre-Unity, often only smaller things.
Fair warning, it's a LOT. Prepare your ctrl and F key.
Stuff Which Arrives Post-Unity, Maybe (SWAPUM)
