DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP
Untethered is developed by a solo developer, so while I do my best to predict how long things will take, sometimes I get it wrong.
Be sure to join the Discord to provide suggestions, feedback, and ask questions. There is also a live changelog to keep you up to date with day-to-day development.
But with that said, here's the rough roadmap!
THE ROADMAP
DEMO 2.5.3 (OUT NOW!)
DECEMBER 2024
The final update to Demo v2, available now on Steam!
CLosed alpha 2 (COMPLETED)
JUNE 2026
This phase involves a lot of critical bug fixes, improvements to some particularly problematic systems, and some adjustments to progression and balancing.
- Thermal control system upgrade
- Improvements to the firefighting experience
CLosed alpha 3
SEPTEMBER 2026
Some final fixes to critical gameplay/UX issues. Stronger focus on art.
- Docking system improvements and station collisions.
- Asteroid chunking.
- Art, particularly wreckage.
CLOSED ALPHA 4
NOVEMBER 2026
Should be entirely art focused at this stage. There may be an alpha 5 if the release date is extended.
DEMO 3
JANUARY 2027
This will be for Steam Next Fest - aiming for the February 2027 SNF but wouldn't surprised if it ended up being June.
