Are there new Content Updates planned or is this Game finished?

[Defendmoon]

I know there is a lot of things to do on the Map but i just want to know if they still planning to update this Game or not.

[kirara209]

The roadmap for the game on their website is largely obsolete now since they have yet to update it since early 2021 and is more reflective of Early Access rather than what may come after 1.0. So many of the items on the list that currently isn't in the game may or may not be included.

As for what potential updates Grounded may receive, not too much has been officially stated. In a 1.0 based interview that I can't for the life of me find anymore, the director stated that they do wish to continue development even after 1.0. As for content, there are quite a few things that dev tool users have dug up are currently fully fleshed out and working but are not in the game as of yet. Whether they will come to the game is yet to be seen or announced.

Im really hoping for an expansion adding building interiors: The house and the backyard shed. I wan't spooky Attic moments, house mold, and termites.

[wetherric]

They changed the roadmap and there are not major changes outside of base blueprints planned, but given they previously said they were going to continue to support the game and the game's popularity I imagine they are going to be doing several paid DLCs

[Vental]

I read something somewhere about how they were planning on adding rain at some point. IDK if that's still planned.

[ShockedHearts]

at most as a DLC I can see maybe entering the shed. OR what I would hope for.

"Kitchen raid" sort of deal.

imagine under the patio we can enter into the kitchen shelves/cabinets and wall which are filled with termites, ants and maybe a moth and some other house like bugs, it can be formed a semi open area but with many spots designed as dungeons (adding onto the DnD style of the game) it could be considered a late game/post game area with tons of loot enemies and special items and encounters or really cool spots to build!

I would say the MOST this would include would be 3 "unique" like areas and sub areas around them that all make sense

* Kitchen Raid Area Ideas:

- The wall (would include multiple tunnels and vertical based dungeon like layouts inside the wall to get around the kitchen vertically. this will lead to counters cupboards etc and will contain a mixture of some ants or termites)

- the countertop (flat areas with tons of items on it similar to the picnic table, you will find a lot of ants here as that is where food is as well as other sub areas such as a microwave oven as a heat based spicy area where you can get say. rust and burnt food and maybe a SCA.B

- The Fridge (the counter top and wall must be used to either enter or open the fridge which will lead to a MUCH WANTED winter/cold biome area Id say this could be a safe area but requires you to wear a unique armor specifically for it. and to make the armor worth the time. we should be allowed to explore the fridge from top to bottom including the freezer)

- furniture (I can imagine this will be semi unimportant other furniture like a table or chairs across the room) you will HAVE to build across these i would say or maybe get to them via the wall? otherwise I couldnt imagine anything special being here other than collectables and maybe food/other minor items

-----

I think the kitchen could act like a post game area with some larger spiders maybe even an animal? imagine a cat on the floor that will jump up at the counters and tables when you are near the edges. and can only really hurt you if you stay near edges too long. similar to the koi fish in a sense i suppose,

they could also add in a new bug/creature as a post game super boss to farm, or maybe even just a MIX.R like thing where you have to defend against a HUGE hoard of bugs for example.

tons of things that can be done with this idea and I think its the perfect route for DLC personally but again this is all hypothetical

all I know is I 100% would buy this as a DLC

While I like those ideas, I really hope they will polish the game before working hard on new content.

Right now, it feels like we're just beta testing the game while they just launched the game as 1.0 as an excuse to raise the price tag.

Now, on a more hopeful note, I often came across a suggestion for a Mouse boss battle that would be included within a new area inside the house, and I think it is a crazy good idea!
It could even bring out a new effect called disease or something along the lines, that would rival with poison.

[Prince Ian]

I hope the game is done, it turned into a clusterfok of content changes and sloppy code. The game is a really good idea but they need a clear and organized vision. I rather them start fresh on a sequel and apply everything they have learned from their mistakes on the first game.

[Deadman]

I'd say its done for a while at least. They rushed to make the deadline for 1.0 so I doubt we'll be seeing any major content added anytime soon. And honestly I think I'd prefer they just work on polishing the game instead and make the current content and experience better.

[[HdF] Almut Grete]

They eleased pretty much out if nowhere (in perspective of their workspeed) and cut a bunch of stuff. It is released but now comes the balancing for some reason ...
Very likely they just slaped the release tag on, to be able to sell all of the cut content as DLCs.

They are not realy that fast or good with patches, money ran thin.

[Serpiko82]

I do hope in QOL patches and adjustments to prevent resources gathering and micromanagement from getting tedious.

this could be perfect for my kitchen idea as well. a fridge would require warm clothes. perfectly provided by a mouse or two ;)

well since the story is done. not sure how they would include house interior or the like without re-writing the end of the story

Thats a good point, maybe a future expac would be in a new location or setting altogether where interiors will be included. Perhaps other children or experimental sites? Summer camp anyone!?
