Roadmap

Here I show where the game stands. From top to bottom: what has already shipped, what I am building now and what comes next. I do not put dates on it: each part comes out when it is ready.

01 · Designing the game

You are here · In progress · 2 items

I am designing each system carefully before I build it. Items marked "still thinking" are decisions I have not made yet. The site and this roadmap are already online.

  1. Shipped · Community

    The game's website

    The home page is online, in English and Portuguese, in the game's visual style. It shows where the project stands, and it is where you will download the game, with help for the first run.

    This roadmap

    Everything I have built, decided and planned is here, with no dates. It changes as the work moves, without waiting for a new version of the game.

08 · Community and premium

Up next · 2 items

This phase brings chat between players, reputation and the rules for free accounts and premium. A free account is permanent and lets you try everything. Premium is for those who want to grow bigger. After launch, you will also be able to get premium inside the game, through the premium token that players trade.

  1. Up next · Community

    Groups, messages and channels

    Groups and private messages, moderated public channels for each language and mail without attachments.

  2. Up next · Community

    News and player press

    An automatic news feed that respects the fog of war, and newspapers written by players, with paid subscriptions. Moderation works by report.

09 · Alpha

On the horizon · 3 items

Testers will play the economy in a universe that will be wiped afterwards. Free accounts and premium already exist at this stage, but the token does not. I will tune the game's balance based on how they play.

  1. On the horizon · Community

    An alpha that gets wiped

    The first playable universe opens for testing. Everything built there is wiped before the permanent universe begins.

  2. On the horizon · Community

    Moderation and content rules

    I still have to decide who moderates chat and behavior, and the rules for names, logos and texts made by players.

    Still thinking

  3. On the horizon · Community

    Feedback, bugs and exploits

    I still have to decide where testers report problems and how to reward whoever finds and reports an exploit, a flaw that gives an unfair advantage.

    Still thinking

13 · Beta

On the horizon · 1 item

Everything together for the first time: economy, nations and basic war in the same test universe, with many people at once. It will be wiped too before anything counts.

  1. On the horizon · Community

    Beta with everything

    Economy, nations and basic war tested together, still without the token. At the end, everything is wiped once more.

14 · Big Bang

On the horizon · 2 items

The permanent universe begins from scratch, with nothing carried over from alpha and beta, and it will never be reset. Economy, nations and war are ready on day one.

  1. On the horizon · Community

    Founders' stars

    Everyone who had premium before the Big Bang names a star system of their choice and is thanked in the credits.

  2. On the horizon · Community

    If the project ever ends

    If that happens, I will give at least 6 months' notice, stop sales and give proportional refunds. I will also publish a final archive, with the server and its data, so the community can keep the game running.

15 · Beyond

On the horizon · 2 items

What comes after launch and is already on my list: shortcuts across the galaxy, unions of nations, tools for those who build on top of the game and more to do in the universe.

  1. On the horizon · Community

    Official game data

    I will publish the game's fixed data, such as items, recipes, buildings and environments, for people who make tools. Player blueprints, patents and unannounced changes stay out.

  2. On the horizon · Community

    Player events and council

    Community goals created by nations and companies, with rewards they pay for, and a way for players to speak to me through representatives.

    Still thinking

What never changes

  • One server for the whole world.
  • An eternal universe: it never resets.
  • No NPCs: players run everything.
  • Panels, not cockpits: you never fly anything.
  • Continuous real time: the universe never stops.
  • Only humans, a fictional galaxy, the far future.

How this roadmap changes

With every new version I come back and update this page: things move from Up next to In progress and then to Shipped. When I change my mind about something, it changes here too. Whatever is marked Still thinking is something I have not decided yet.

Want in now?

The foundation is already live, and I am building the rest in the open, in front of whoever plays. Download the current version →
