Mind Map of the Game and Website

Added 2019-04-03 13:13:21 +0000 UTC

People have been asking whether there is a roadmap for the game, and in short, there is not. What I have instead is an intricate mind map of the different features planned for the game and how they relate to each other.

The mind map is accompanied by a Trello board that holds all the technical information for each node in the mind map, sorted into individual tasks.

Before I start working on a new content patch, I consult the mind map and pick features and content for the patch based on community feedback and poll results. I then move the respective tasks into a to-do list that I slowly empty as development progresses.

Each month I will have at least one poll here on Patreon, where supporters have the opportunity to influence which things get taken first for later patches.

The color of nodes describe their development state. Blue and gray nodes are considered fully implemented, yellow nodes are partially implemented, and red nodes are ready for implementation, while black nodes are blocked by some dependency on a red or yellow node.

The image is in an intentionally low resolution because I do not want to give too much away, but it should still give you some idea of the game's scope and progress. The cluster around the blue node to the left is the website, the center is the user panel and yearbook, and on the right is the game app.

There are also things planned that do not appear on the mind map. The mind map only contains what I consider required for a 1.0.0 release of the game, and the game will enter beta state when there are no black or red nodes left in the mind map.
