You can watch the video on our YouTube channel or read the below Q&A now.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]Here are the questions and answers from the developers:[/h2]

[h3]Q.1 - Are there any plans for console ports?[/h3]
Yes, the game is planned to be released on all current-gen consoles in the future, probably on the 1.0 release or a bit later.

[h3]Q.2 - What should we expect from the next part of the story?[/h3]
Well, I can't dive into details as it'll be a huge spoiler for you. You can expect new NPCs, diorama areas, and new rooftop areas for sure. Very cool NPCs really, I like them.

[h3]Q.3 - What is the inspiration behind the designs of the tools and robots?[/h3]
There are a lot of things that inspire us in other media. Mostly movies like "Love, Death and Robots", "Finch" with Tom Hanks, etc.

[h3]Q.4 - Will there be any new quests and a continuation of the story in the next update?[/h3]
Right now we are working on an updated roadmap. Maybe it's already available, I don't know when this video will be out. Our next update will be focused on the gamepad, new GUI system, and optimization together with some narrative items and some smaller things. After that in the next update, we'll release a big part of the rooftop, finally! We know you're waiting for it so much and working on it. In the next update, we'll release the next chapter of the story with another rooftop area as well.

[h3]Q.5 - Will we ever get any sort of pets or new companions? [/h3]
It's not planned for near future updates, but I like this idea and we'll consider it for our next updates.

[h3]Q.6 - If we met another survivor, could we play as them on another rooftop and have them meet?[/h3]
There is no online co-op in I Am Future and not planned yet

[h3]Q.7 - What are the plans for the minion improvements?[/h3]
We're constantly working on minions and will continue for sure. Right now we're not happy with their AI and pathfinding and fixing it. Also, we're planning to add more minion rules, mostly for repetitive tasks and routines. But before adding it we'd like to fix current rules to make it more stable and optimised.

[h3]Q.8 - Can we see more weather changes and seasons?[/h3]
We're planning a weather system in the near future. With solar panels, probably wind power. Seasons sounds also very good for the game, but not planned in production currently. We'll decide a bit later on how and when we could implement it.

[h3]Q.9 - Are there any plans for a mechanic to enable us to destroy items we have too much of?[/h3]
Yes, we're planning to add such mechanics and also make all your resources more useful with new recipes, buildings, and mechanics.

[h3]Q.10 - We would love to see “overgrown” decorations, are they planned for the next update?[/h3]
Hmm... We'll think about it for sure. Also, I like the idea of adding decorative plants to make our rooftops filled with more nature

[h3]Q.11 - Will the molecular synthesizer conversion functions be expanded into more than just biomass to specific types of garbage?[/h3]
Yes, the molecular synthesizer will be updated with new features for sure.

[h3]Q.12 - Is there an ETA on chest renaming?[/h3]
It's planned to be released in our next big update in February together with new UI systems and gamepad support

[h3]Q.13 - Will it be possible to connect all levels on all the rooftops into one power grid?[/h3]
Yes! The main idea behind electricity is to provide you with all the tools to connect it to one big power grid. The problem currently is stairs and bridge, but we're planning improvement for it.

[h3]Q.14 - Can we have a storage container in our fishing area to store fishing bait?[/h3]
Yes, it's already planned to add

[h3]Q.15 - Will we eventually be able to fully automate water collection, filtration, and distribution?[/h3]
Yes, it's part of the routine, and minions fit well for this work. We already have pumps, an auto-watering building, so the only thing is to make a rule for minions to take the water from the pump and fill the sprinkler

[h3]Q.16 - Are there plans for specializing the minions using slotted upgrades?[/h3]
We are planning to provide you with minions upgrades, but it'll be as part of buying new modules on a Smart Tower

[h3]Q.17 - Will there be anything for wind power?[/h3]
It's planned after we add the weather system, yes.

[h3]Q.18 - It would be great to have simple minigames in-game like playing cards with the minions! [/h3]
We like ideas about mini-games... Not planned for the near future as everybody is waiting for new rooftop areas, story chapters, etc, but we'll think about adding something a bit later. Our team is not so big, just about 15 people, so we have to prioritize things

[h3]Q.19 - As the rooftop gets larger, traveling will take a long time, will there be equipment to make traveling easier?[/h3]
Yeah, it's gonna be a problem. We're planning to add teleport buildings to fix it

[h3]Q.20 - Will we be able to traverse the ocean by boat and maybe get some deep sea creatures?[/h3]
It's not planned, but we'll add a lot more fish and sea creatures for sure
