Whats next?

[TechnoBear2099]

I looked to see if there was a roadmap but all I found was last years. What’s next for the game? I know more story. But more buildings? Ruins? Will there be outer survivors to meet? Reasons to add even more turbines, or engines, to reach stuff like having monolithic mega structures? More dungeons? Puzzles? More furniture? I love the game, but without anything else to do, I don't feel compelled to add more too my airship, especially if we end up with another update the renders my save incompatible.

The place to really stay up to date on what is coming is on the Discord channel. Here is the link. https://discord.gg/93D4XRw6
Basically they are coming out with new buildings, and tools, new POI's, Balloon Core Colors. They do no plan to have to render save incompatible. But as with any Early Access game. There is always a chance that this might happen. Version 1.0 is planned for release on PC and PS5 in the first half of this year. So not long. Most stuff can be found on the Discord Channel before anywhere else.

Thank you for answering my question, and for the discord invite.

I keep starting up a new game and trying a new building config ... strangely soothing :D ... except that bug that keeps attacking my railings! :D

I do end up with about the same ship though :P

I do the same. Every update I start over. Usually try different ship configurations.

first half of 2026. ok so 1.0 got delayed as the statement from end of last year said q1 2025. would have been nice to see a news post about that instead of getting that info in the forums in a thread.

so 1.0 probaly around may/june then.

There is nothing to announce yet which is why there's been no news post.

The production team are working under the mindset of "Release when you feel it's ready" and not hit an arbitrary date we threw at everyone months prior.

All we have from the team is an agreement that they need a few months at most, not a full year. So that's why we figure it will be out in the first half of 2025 at the latest. This can range from February to June.

We're not trying to keep this secret. We don't want to commit to a date now and be forced to move it later. We will communicate it loud and clear when the time comes.

Likewise.
I already have my own line, so to speak, a scenario, according to which I act: the initial upgrade of the ship to 4 engines and several turbines, then the search for a refrigerator and the first lift, then an improved upgrade of the ship, and after that already exploration of the surrounding world and the main storyline.
If you immediately follow the main storyline, then the game somehow ends too quickly)

But everyone has their own approach to the game, of course.

By the way, why is everyone waiting for 1.0? In my opinion, the game is already working quite stably and efficiently. Or will 1.0 have something completely new?

New stuff is planned, but I agree. The game is already very good. The team is working on some great stuff. I can't wait for it all. If you would like to have the latest info on what is up and coming you can follow on the Discord. If you use it. If you need help finding it I can put up an invite. Happy Gaming.

Thank you very much, but I use Discord very irregularly, and news on Steam will most likely reach me faster.
And enjoy the game to you.
