There is a lot of awesome suggestions made by the community via the idea informer.

https://fgapp.idea.informer.com/


Is there any update on any of these features (whether they are being worked on, how far along they are, or if they are impossible to complete)

Anytime someone suggests something on reddit or other forums they are directed to place it there.


Do the Devs work on this stuff? Do they even know this exists?


Any official updates would be awesome.


Thanks in advance.

Yes, the devs know it exists; since it was they who put it there. Yes, they do look at it and yes they do take note of it.

However Smiteworks never comment on what they are working on (except Doug when he wants to be naughty), and rarely, if ever, give out any kind of time frame. From what the devs have said recently music and sounds are on their way and dice skins are already here (and you'll see those on the list in the first page).

The first few on the list were actually started by Moon Wizard - who is the lead programmer. Those were suggestions carried over from the previous wish list which really related to Classic (and hence why it was ended). The only one that will never happen is the dual monitor support thing - since it isn't possible to do that.

Yes the devs know it exists. They created and own it. They only update the status of items infrequently, instead they spend their time developing. If you are familiar with the requests and the frequent updates, you will notice items from the list being incorporated. Such as this idea: https://fgapp.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=135372

They generally do not publicize what they are working on until it reaches the public beta test phase, when it will be posted in the Laboratory sub-forum. Though they do occasionally post sneak peaks that you can find in the forums.

Keep an eye on the Laboratory to keep up on more current changes and work: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?55-The-Laboratory
You can also help test the new features that are coming up if you are inclined to do so.

Cheers
