ROADMAP UPDATED [0.701 - 1.0]
Good day, lords and ladies! I would like to put a few comments here before you'll dive to the roadmap.
1) First of and most important - it's not 100% final. I'm sure that before we'll reach 1.0 I'll edit the list not once - mostly with additions and editing of existing stuff, without removing anything, so this list represents features that 100% will be in the final product, so no worries here. Also, Steam sub-forum "Your Ideas and suggestions" still welcomes all the players!
2) Second important thought - when writing this I tried to be as realistic as possible in order of development - everything you'll see in the roadmap is 100% possible to develop without any serious issues and that mean - relatively fast. I've prepared code for this, so I hope that everything will be smooth here. As you can see, there are 3 big themes, and some stuff is marked with *. * Means features that not 100% thematic correct, sometimes not at all, but they'll match the development timing.
3) Third important thing - I've changed my initial development plan a bit. The plan was to finish all the gameplay stuff till 0.8 and since that add and polish things. But changed my mind and that's why - bringing new content (like new items and building) as important as adding of new gameplay features, I make polishing at Friday anyway, so stuff like main quest, new items, weapons etc. etc. were added to main themes.
And the last question is obviously - when? The answer is - we'll start today. It's 26.07.2021, Monday, and the first update of this roadmap will come today - we're making final test at the very moment. The plan is to release 3 updates per week. Monday, Wednesday - stuff from the roadmap, Friday - bugfixes and tweaks. I.E. today you'll have "New quest type - killing human", Wednesday is for "New system for AI names - second name, titles" and Friday is "Bugfixes".
