Red Solstice 2 - ROADMAP!
Hello everyone,
As promised here is the roadmap of the upcoming features and planned changes to give you a rough information on the next big updates.
[h3]Milestone 1[/h3]
The main focus is on completing the strategy layer of the game with all it's campaign and procedural missions. Additional classes, follower control, and armory management are going to be finished in this milestone.
[h3]Milestone 2[/h3]
This milestone introduces new monster types and the progression system which seamlessly connects both skirmish and campaign modes. Dynamic difficulty scaling for games with fewer players is also part of this update.
[h3]Milestone 3[/h3]
Time to test what we made, fully playable campaign in it's alpha stage with exploration, stealth and survival mission types available.
[h3]Milestone 4[/h3]
During the final stage additional language support is going to be added as well as improvements to the game balance and optimization.
Hope you like our roadmap! Things can change over the course of the development and not every detail is mentioned here but we are going to post updates and make big announcements as we reach each milestone.
Stay frosty marines!
