2021 Roadmap
Published: March 16th 2021, 8:47:39 pm
UPDATE: Roadmap replaced with an expanded version now that the team is full-time on the project. Image updated to show the latest version.
Hi all,
Just a short post to update you all with what we're planning over 2021. We know it's not at pretty as the last one, but we have too much to cram in for that more image-heavy format. This is not everything we will deliver this year, simply the major items we're working on. We consider this a target baseline of what you can expect 2021 content, however we also hope to surprise you with additional content each update. It's worth highlighting that game mechanics such as sailing/swimming, or combat mechanics such as stealth, are no longer considered separate stages in the roadmap - instead these will be delivered incrementally as part of the background monthly game improvements across 2021.
Biomes are also removed from the roadmap, as we'll be delivering these as part of the 'expanded world' element. Explaining the specifics of why would stray into spoilers, but suffice to say there are more varied lands than sand and rock on the horizon.
For those Anubites and Demigods wondering when their personal, persistent shrines will be accessible in-game, look no further than the Tomb of the Ascended. Not only will all Ascended Patrons (including ex-patrons) have their names recorded on the engravings of this hallowed place, but the ancient structure houses many long forgotten shrines that are only now being rediscovered, drawing in worshipers from far and wide. This imposing building is also the site of the Hall of the Founders, the home of the exclusive founder content.
Please be aware that we are still in pre-alpha and that this is an outline plan only; timings may vary depending on development priorities. We will update this roadmap should we adjust the order of content delivery or add additional items to it.
If you have any questions - such as why 'feature x' isn't listed on the roadmap - head on over to Discord and ping us a message.
Thank you again for all of your support - community engagement with the project has been overwhelmingly positive and we really appreciate each and every one of your for your support in making Carnal Instinct the best it can be.
