Each software can have three different types of features.
Each software can have three different types of features.
1. A time-locked feature, that is a feature that unlocks when a certain year arrives. E.g., the OS feature 8-bit audio isn't unlocked at the start of the game. Can also include base features which are available from the beginning and have no prerequisite.

2. A dependency-locked feature, which means a feature that depends on a certain feature from a different software. For example, the feature 3D rendering in a game requires the 3D rendering feature in the selected Game Engine

3. A dependency-tree feature. Some features replace other features in software. For instance, the feature 8-bit audio from the OS is an evolution of the PC Speaker feature, and thus you can only select either PC speaker or 8-bit audio, and not both. This forms a dependency tree which allows certain features to evolve over time.
