Devlog - Beta Roadmap (Patreon)

Hayo! Devlog-chan desu~

So the time has arrived, the Beta roadmap! The whole thing is available below, but just to quickly walk through it, we've got a bunch of general content to work on, we plan to finish story mode and adventure mode, finalize the combat stuff (including balance and fixes) finalize the world map areas, look and feel, and mechanics, introduce dungeons, expand character relationships, and introduce the Evoker mode.

We have a few minor things carrying over from the Alpha roadmap that we ended up rolling into the feature survey votes, like sex combat items, but pretty much all of this is new stuff that's the last necessary bits and bobs before release, and a continuation of the work we've been doing thus far.

We're also going to be making more gameplay improvements and starting to tweak things like balance and game-feel and ironing out any rough patches. Every time we play the game we find things to improve, but we've been bottlenecked by having to spend any excess art time on working on UI stuff. No longer!

If there's anything you feel we're missing, let us know, and we'll try to update the roadmap to reflect anything we might have missed.

Without further ado, the Beta roadmap!
