[h2]High Level Roadmap[/h2]
Interaction update
This will introduce a new high fidelity interaction system that will resolve many symptomatic bugs, and make it easier to add interaction-based features like item stacking and distance grab.

Procedural mission update
This will introduce procedurally generated terrain, new area types, and new game modes.

Weapon update
This will introduce weapon attachments along with two new weapons.

Bug fixes, performance, and quality of life updates will continue to be rolled out along the way. There are also plenty of smaller roadmap items like enemy AI, progression, and more that will be getting done as well. I appreciate your patience and I hope you're just excited as I am for the future!
