🎯 Upcoming Plans + Dev Break (Need Your Input!)

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey everyone!

First off—huge thanks for all the support, bug reports, and suggestions. It means a lot. I've been steadily rolling out changes based on your feedback, and there’s a lot more in the pipeline.

🔄 What’s Coming Next?
Victory Point Level-Ups: The next update will focus on making leveling up more responsive and immersive.

Guided Tutorials: Many of you have asked for these. I held off because the UI kept evolving, but once things settle, expect proper walkthroughs to ease new players in.

Hallmarks System: Still in progress! Each one needs its own action page—I'm going alphabetically, so Glaser is up next.

đź›  Known Issues
Late-Game Lag: Things get choppy around Round 200—yep, I’ve noticed too. Suspecting memory leaks. Fix is on the roadmap.

🔮 What’s After That?
NPC Opponents: Play solo or fill out multiplayer games with bots.

Dedicated Servers: Matchmaking needs a serious upgrade. I’d love to eventually host weekend tournaments too!

đźš§ Short Break Incoming
I’ll be away from my dev machine for a bit—so don’t expect updates for the next couple of weeks. I might get a laptop while I’m gone, but no promises yet.

🙏 Thank You
Thanks again for sticking with the game and helping shape it. I’m trying to hit every milestone on my list and stay responsive to yours.

Would love your thoughts on the roadmap—anything you'd like to see prioritized or added? Drop a comment below!
