PENKURA ROADMAP FROM EARLY ACCESS TO FULL RELEASE

The roadmap is not fully established and will be adjusted in the future depending on the success of the game with additional content, features, systems, language translations, and modes.

Anything added to the roadmap is something we plan to add with near certainty unless it is explicitly written that the line is volatile and may change under certain circumstances.

Blue is content not yet added, green means added to the game, and yellow is development comment.

Stage 0.1.0 to 0.2.0 is dedicated to finishing up the core systems listed below. Fixing all major bugs, establishing the setting of the game, adding content to the game since release to Early Access, and focusing on achieving the best possible performance while creating a dedicated to Penkura proper asset creation procedure.

0.2.0 t0 0.3.0 is dedicated to the main storyline content of the game, here we will focus on new biomes, missions, lore, world map, and world travel.
We will start to localize the game to Polish which is the easiest to maintain for the team and will create a base layer for other future language translations.
Stage 0.2.0 to 0.3.0 is the fun part of development as focuses on content rather than background systems.

0.3.0 t0 0.4.0 focus on the creation of end game content, finishing the storyline, and implementation of new game type (scenarios).
Scenarios will allow players to semi-generate large areas for base construction with generated mission content and the ability to control nearly any aspect of game difficulty (from controlling how often it rains, to how many enemy raids players can expect) to tailor the game to player requirements.
Any content that was not created in 0.2.0 will be moved to stage 0.3.0.

0.4.0 to 1.0.0. This Stage will focus on the translation of the entire game to other languages. Depending on the success of the game we will translate it into as many languages as we can. We will also decide if co-op mode will be available before the game release or after as with the translation, everything depends on the success of the entire project. While the translation is ongoing by the third party (and possibly the community) we will dedicate the time to add content focused on enriching the overall game (additional voice acting, videos, and in-game art).

We will also provide a rough estimation of the full release.

The full release of the game.

At this stage, most of the work will be spent on bug fixes and updating the technology (to make sure the game will work for as long as possible in the future without much maintenance).

Depending on the success of the game we will debate on adding new content, translating the game to other languages (besides the one added in the 0.4.0 stage), and if possible adding support for other systems (Linux and Possibly Mac), we do not plan any type of console release at this time.
