Early Access Roadmap

[Kurouzu]

Hi!

In the roadmap I have focused mainly on the core features.

The more secondary features such as improvements in already made systems, such as the terminal, chat, map, UI elements, trace system etc, and new ones like tutorials or accepted player suggestions, I have left out of the roadmap for the moment.

Of course this type of features not listed here will be completed throughout the development in different versions.

Version 0.6 - Completed

• Network simulation improvements

  You can install more than one same service on the network, (two or more ssh servers for example) for this you will have to enter the configuration of the router using the web browser and configure the ports you want.
  
  The network generation will be improved during startup to allow new features like firewalls and switches and will be create more natural and varied networks.
  
  

• Player missions

  In this version will be available the first iteration of missions created by players.
  
  

• Traffic cameras

  Initially the traffic cameras were going to have a much simpler role. But as the development has progressed I have new plans for it.
  
  The objective is that every npc that lives in the world and, for example, when he has to go to work, you can see how he takes the car, drives and arrives at his destination. Hacking the traffic cameras can cause accidents to cause the npc to arrive late to its destination, or perhaps if you have gone over the line, he will die.
  
  During version 0.6 the first iteration of this system will be implemented, which will be extended during the updates until it reaches its final state.
  
  Note: Accessing the traffic cameras will have more uses apart from hacking the traffic lights.
  For example they will have an important role in the assistance missions of bank robbery.
  
  

• Reputation system

  The reputation system is independent of karma. It will serve to "measure" the player's experience. Therefore, the more missions that are resolved will increase the reputation. Or the contrary, if you fail.
  
  The available missions will be classified according to their reputation, so a player with a low reputation can only perform the missions of his rank.
  
  

• UI customization

  The UI colors are customizable.
  In next updates you will be able to modify the font size and use your own desktop background images.
  
  

• Hardware

  The hardware system will have an impact on the gameplay. From this moment, the player has to manage his hardware to be able to perform certain actions faster, prevent any piece from getting damaged and buy peripherals that allow him to perform certain types of missions.
  
  - Hard Disk: The default hard drives will have a small capacity and will be slow. You can improve the disk to increase its capacity, speed and reliability.
  
  - CPU: Do not buy cpus too cheap or they may not last long and maybe your computer became slow and unstable.
  
  - GPU: The graphics card will be important to perform certain hacking operations such as password cracking or coin mining.
  
  - PSU: The power supply will be essential for all your components to work properly. A defective PSU can be fatal to all components if it is not replaced in time.
  
  - Motherboard: Certain motherboards will not support some models of network cards, cpu, peripherals. Choose well when you buy one.
  
  - RAM: The more ram, the more programs you can keep open.
  
  - Fans: It is a good idea to keep the computer cool, especially if you are going to do heavy work for a long time. (Delayed for next updates)

Version 0.7 - Completed

• Scripting/Coding

  Now you can program your own tools and exploits.
  
  The game scripting completely changes the internal operation of the programs, since instead of being "hardcoded" in the game, now they will use the same APIs that players can use to create their own programs.
  
  The intention is that although people who have some knowledge in programming may have an advantage, a player who has no experience in this field should be able to advance the game through other techniques thanks to the sandbox style and the large number of options available to advance.
  
  If you do not know how to program, there is no problem, you can enjoy the game normally, and in any case if you decide to learn, a few basic lessons will be enough to build something cool.
  
  

• New Exploits System

  The Exploits System has been completely renewed, with a deeper and more dynamic system.
  
  

• World secrets

  I do not want to spoil, but exploring the net can have its rewards.
  
  

• Hidden missions unlocked by exploring

  It is important to keep in mind that not all available missions are carried out by accessing a hackshop or police station and accepting a mission from the list.
  
  Many missions are going to be hidden in the world and to be able to unlock them you must explore the network, investigate anything suspicious and it may take you to one of these missions.
  
  These missions will be completely different and more complex from normal missions. They will be divided into different parts and they will have a plot to solve.
  
  

• Players guilds

  You can also call them clans. Players can organize themselves in groups, share software and perform missions together. You can also configure a system of hierarchies within the clan.
  
  In version 0.8 the clans will have a greater importance.
  
  

• Karma system

  The karma system will evaluate what type of hacker you are. It will be influenced mainly with the type of missions you do.
  This value will be taken into account when accepting certain types of missions.
  
  A negative karma will indicate that you are a black hat hacker, but this does not mean that you are at a disadvantage to a white hat player and therefore with positive karma. It is an indicator of your status.
  
  You can always modify your karma at will, this means that you are not limited to doing only missions that report negative karma even if you are a black hat and vice versa but certain special missions will be limited to players who have a certain level of karma in a specific moment, both negative and positive.
  
  

• Enabled Police Stations websites

  The police websites will have missions available in a different field from the missions of the hackshops. The police will seek the help of the players to catch others who take unauthorized actions.
  
  

• More diverse hacking techniques

  In addition to the use of exploits, there will be various ways to access a computer if certain requirements are met, depending on the type of intrusion that you want to perform. For example backdoors or the possibility to setup sniffers to catch important data as credentials.

Version 0.8 - Completed

• Extended npc behavior

  All npcs will have different lives, friends and daily routine. They will communicate with their friends continuously by mail or any type of messages.
  
  If you can access the details of the life of a npc, you can see who is related, and perhaps this step to a hidden mission. Or simply need to access an npc through a friend of his.
  
  

• More Hidden and Karma missions

  During the development, more direct and indirect missions will be added in addition to lore and more secrets.
  
  

• Player shops and services

  The player is allowed to build an online store and put a price on the items.
  
  

• Network speed

  Depending on the provider you hire or the network you are connected to, you will have different download/upload speeds.
  
  

• Impacting world by players

  Eventually a player or a clan may be able to buy companies or negatively influence them to force their bankruptcy. Or just the opposite, depending on the interests you have at that time.
  
  For example, continued attacks on a company can make them always cover news, causing their fall in the stock market.
  
  Therefore finally a clan or a player with sufficient power could be able to manipulate the economy as he wants on a large scale, influencing the world and the rest of the players.
  
  

• More hackeable hardware

  Not only computers are vulnerable to attacks. Also other devices, such as printers, switches, smartphones or smart refrigerators.
  
  The vulnerabilities that these devices have, can help you reach your goal.

Version 0.9 - Beta - In development progress

• More diverse hacking techniques (2)

  You will have the ability to carry out DDOS or ransomware attacks.
  
  

• Sound and Music

  Sounds and music during the gameplay.
  
  

• Modding

  During the development process I will expose more parts of the game to prepare the modding support.
  
  

• Game balancing

• Depth bug fixing & optimization

• Finishing the missing secondary features

  
  

• Version 1.0 - Beta period Ends

  All features completed.
  
  

• Version 1.X - Dedicated server

  The option is enabled so that anyone can create their own dedicated server, public or private. This will be implemented once the online player base is large enough to sustain it without fragmenting the community. Introducing it too soon could reduce activity on the official server, making it harder to maintain a thriving multiplayer environment.

I have an idea.(after 2k hours playing , its part of your gene).So yes i have an idea for the binaries.This would give a nice hook to white hats since their limited tools atm.Simply use a text to binary and allow player to be able to script custom encryption with a single one generic as usual for npc.The reason custom the encryption is to create fair play so it be hard to find wich encryption is used or even fall under an unirrational one of a player. Also player from there can create some real av and reverse stuff.This will also raise the game popularity and attract more fanatic aswell clutch around ease and realism.

Another idea Size should not be random , 1 char 1 bite.I say that cause it make hard drive size unreliable.

The import source should stay transparent as it is.Cause the community as already put their hand on that work 1-2 years before the update.But i agree its cool for the people who dont code and know third party sites.Its just theirs some tool out there in the dark that accept json c++ and other customed stuff.Putting more effort on that will make a huge part of the community script in a tomb.

apt-get was unwaited and is more reliable than any package simulated tool out theres thanks god ftp ssh can breath now.

The report exploit is good nothing to much to say as the interaction is simplistic.But change alot in the balance.We should say a more balanced enviroment especially from the people who was not knowing how to tweak or hunt lib.May we see more stable of the lower part of the community , those who struggled to survive and stopped playing.

Banks & Mails should be hackable, i mean if my bank got hacked i can pray.Removing them at first was understanble due to the ease of hacking everyone else.I don't say it should not be hard but possible.This break the immersion and make you envy to quit after succeed to hack a mail network nowaday of the game, because the networks are more well generated and are bigger in number,Npc banks and mails servers could encrypted their data randomly depending certain factors.

Players should be able to script transction of the GH currency.This will naturally lead to crypto currency without even have to work on.BTC and others proved it.If this will be part of that nightly build , i swear the community will riot of joy like after a win at the soccer cup.

In overall i'm happy with my investing.My review and ideas should be take in count as one of the oldest player.I played regulary the game for years.Those simple stuff will raise the community and fill some hole.And give a fair white , grey , black hat experience.
Its could to see new updates and i find each one cool.But the world is cold, i want to see more playing then an average of 30.Those up are the key of success of bunch of collective will harvested after my long 3 years of fidel player.We are alot that want those ideas mentioned.

Thank you Great Gaming Community and I really look forward to what the outcome of this game currently is !!!!!

As of the current nightly version, the following categories have been implemented, either fully or in part:

• Network simulation improvements
  
• Player missions
  
• Traffic cameras
  
• Reputation system
  
• UI customization
  
• Hardware
  
• Scripting/Coding
  
• New Exploits System
  
• Players guilds
  
• Karma system
  
• New missions for karma and reputation system
  
• Enabled Police Stations websites
  
• World secrets
  
• Hidden missions unlocked by exploring
  
• Improved websites generation

The MMO side is still active, and I would say it's more active than the single player side. The community is of course still small.

Thanks so much for the feed back. I did start the single player side of the game a couple of days ago. Going through the tutorial to grasp the controls and full concept. I love it so far and the tutorial is impeccable. It fully structures you on the flow of the game. I really look forward to more gameplay in the future.

Thanks for all the info on Grey Hack and can't wait to dive deeper into the game

Thanks

It would be great to see more red team vs blue team type stuff.

This game has huge potential.

[GRÄV̆¥ GÄMÈR]

I didn't know if you were asking me to re-phrase the question. My questions where already answered and I've been brought up to speed as to where the game currently is with the road map. I do own the game and have played the game for a couple of hours so far. I have completed the Tutorial and it was amazingly informative and perfectly balanced. It not only teaches you the game play but its direct to the point and doesn't sway from what you need to know about the logistics of the game. I would have to say that this was one of the best teaching tutorials for a game that I've played through in a long time. this tutorial is impeccable in its own right. I definitely cant wait to get back to it soon and play more of the single player side of the game. this way I can get a little more acclimated to the keybindings, more of the logistics, and just get through the missions of the single player side of the game.

once I get to a good point through the single player side of the game. I'm definitely going to hop on the multi-player side of the game.

One more quick question about the game. The Commands you learn throughout the tutorial. Are these real commands for a Linux or Un-ex ( I think I butcher that name sorry ) type system? Can these commands be used IRL and or used on a real system?

I was just curious of how far the realism goes with the game? If these are real commands and stuff, then I give you guys even more props because the Immersion is also impeccable.

Thanks Guys for a great Game and everything you have brought to the table with this. I was hooked from reading the description at first glance. Once I dug in a little deeper and looked up some YouTube videos of people playing the game is when I said " I am going to buy this game right now.". So now I own the game and i'm straight up fascinated by it.

The commands are real, but a lot of the usage of the commands is fairly simplified. Most of the general terminal navigation stuff works the same as on linux, but things like nmap, which is a real thing, are vastly simplified ingame.

So excited!

Please implement German language. Thanks

The game has translation mod support.

[6h057_f10w]

What about introducing in game tokens that could be cashed in for real currency?

(Here we go with the flames).

The more realism the better.

Hello. Is this game still alive? Going into multiplayer, there is no one there.

The game generally has 10-30 players online at any given time based on the time of day. Don't mistake people in chat with people online, most players don't use ingame chat.
