We're one month out from release and are ready to share part of the roadmap for the road to 1.0 release. Many players have already been putting 50-100 hours into the game with the current content, but we have much more planned!
As we noted early on, Oceaneers already has a full story, plenty of content and a good level of polish. We've released a few patches to improve systems and QoL, which will continue, but more of our focus will shift towards content updates.
The roadmap is subject to changes, we're not afraid to scrap features that just aren't working, and try weird things on our path to finding what is the most fun for gameplay. A large part of this is based on your feedback which has been amazing so far, so please keep it coming! That said, we do have a pretty clear path forward with what we want the game to be.
The items in the roadmap are in no particular order, some things will take longer than others, but let us know what you're most interested in. The roadmap also isn't extensive, we have plenty of QoL updates planned as well, including new hotkeys, UI scaling options, and other little things we have mentioned on the forums.
The first thing we are planning is new content for drinks and the beverage system, as we feel there is a bit of a gap and too much reliance on coconuts, especially when you want to take drinks to expeditions.
This is a big ticket item, long-term we expect that this will be the main mode that players get replayability out of. It won't have a fixed storyline, but will use random events and have things to discover during exploration for story aspects. We have some neat ideas for this one, stay tuned!
The current story mode will naturally get improvements and new content as well (tech, buildings and items), some features and items will be exclusive to the new game mode though as they wouldn't make sense in the story mode.
Thanks for taking part in our Early Access journey, exciting times ahead!
