DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP

Untethered is developed by a solo developer, and I do my best to predict how long things will take, anything can happen!

 

Be sure to join the Discord to provide suggestions, feedback, and ask questions. 

 

But with that said, here's the rough roadmap!

THE ROADMAP

DEMO 2 (OUT NOW!)

Updating UNTIL LATE NOVEMBER 2024

A major update of the demo, so go check it out!

PAX DEMO

EARLY OCTOBER 2024

I'll be making a lot of progression changes, just to speed things up for people on the convention floor.

DEMO 2.4.0

LATE OCTOBER 2024

I'll merge in the relevant improvements I made during PAX demo development, and make improvements based on feedback during PAX.

DEMO 2.5.0

NOVEMBER 2024

The final update to Demo v2. It will primarily include technical features, such as:

  • Control rebinding
  • FOV adjustment
  • Localisation
  • Other technical/QOL features
  • Performance improvements

CLOSED Pre-alpha 10

January 2025

Finally returning to working on the full game!

  • Full save/load system support.
  • Cryogenic fuel loading (orbital transfers will cost fuel).
  • Cryogenic electrolysis and fluid networking.
  • Improvements to asteroid mining (to automatically generate fuel).
  • A LOT of balancing.

Closed Pre-alpha 11/CLosed alpha

MArch 2025

Reaching Early Access feature complete!

  • Service modules, which provide the ability to split your station and establish outposts in multiple orbits.
  • Probably some major science system reworking.
  • Hopefully some new places to explore.
  • Who knows what else?

Depending on feedback, this may be the beginning of the alpha period, or there may be another pre-alpha cycle after this. We'll find out as we get closer.

DEMO 3

2025

This will be for Steam Next Fest. Presumably the June one. Exact features undetermined, but I'd expect to see a few more things unlocked. Also still in the air about whether to include save/load...

EARLY ACCESS LAUNCH

We made it! But it's only the beginning...
