Under A New Sun - Current Roadmap

Greetings Survivors!

As a lot of you are eager to know where Under A New Sun is heading, here is the current roadmap, featuring multiple additions, changes and updates that are either already in work or planned for the near future.

Keep in mind that some points may change over time with further development and that the order listed below does not necessarily mean that the updates will take place in this exact order nor that there won't be more additions than currently listed. And as always, any suggestions and feedback is very welcome!

Roadmap:
  • Reworked inventory: layout and graphics overhaul, stack movement, increased inventory space, weight system, more information of items and buildings (scheduled for March 1st)

  • Story: more things to explore, more elements that tell what happened on the Horizon 7, accessible wrecks, more special items to find, drone & robot variations, etc. (this point will not be included in a single update but happen over time together with other updates)

  • Improved gameplay: introducing new gameplay systems to give the game more depth and difficulties (E.g. stamina, temperature, sleep / insomnia, comfort, etc.), more in-game information to various gameplay mechanics, items and buildings

  • Underwater environment: coral reefs, seashells and other animals (also as food source), diving equipment, underwater wrecks to explore, harvestable resources

  • Sailing ship: a bigger wooden sailing ship that can store multiple chests and serve as a possible base for the player (means the ability to sleep, save, cook food, etc.), ship customizations, optional electrical motor

  • More advanced tech / electrical stuff: various kinds of electric devices and machinery

  • Islands / map expansion: more islands in various sizes with new things to explore

  • Biodiversity: new biome types like mangroves, coral reefs or rainforests (together with 'more islands / map expansion'), more kinds of plants and wildlife in general

  • Gardening: plant and harvest a variation of crops, findable seeds of plants that are otherwise not present in the wild

  • Archery: more arrow and bow variations

  • Plank buildings: ability to build a house in a plank style variation

  • Female player: choose if you want to play as a male or female character

  • Co-op beta tests: first tests for an online Co-op mode to play with your friends
