It’s time to reveal my plans for the future. Want to know what’s coming to the game during Early Access? The Roadmap is ready!
Just a reminder that you can help shape the game’s direction by joining the discussions on Discord channel.
In this phase, I’ll focus on fixing all sorts of issues and refining the game’s existing features. I’ll also be adding a bunch of “Quality of Life” mechanics to reduce micromanagement and make gameplay more comfortable. Here’s the breakdown:
Fixing issues and bugs. Improving the tutorial and tooltips.
Adding necessary settings. Reworking of the save system.
Peaceful game mode.
Tools for mass priority changes, building demolishing, and copying building settings.
Configuration to prohibit the consumption of certain foods and the use of certain tools.
Improvements of landscape editing.
Improvements of annual plans and laws.
Balance tweaks, addition of new essential resources.
Improvements of building upgrades, relocation of the town hall.
This is where I’ll start adding new gameplay mechanics. In this phase, I plan to improve every aspect of combat in the game.
Formation of separate squads with selected weapons and armor.
Improving control over settlers during battles.
Smart enemies. They will be able to follow specific tactics and make various choices: wait, charge head-on, attempt to flank, or construct a ladder.
Procedural map generation settings.
A key feature of the game is its verticality compared to other projects, as it allows you to edit the landscape. And now these ideas will be further refined - more options for vertical construction will be added.
Vertical construction of fortifications.
Stone buildings.
Stone fortifications.
Ornamental structures.
Construction of bridges over ravines and stairways.
It is not yet known exactly which features will be added in this phase. To help shape this, you can join the discussions on Discord.
Thank you for your attention, and for playing Humanica!
