Hello, Wastelanders! Can you smell that? Roasted iguana? Gecko soup? Close, but not enough. We’ve got something else cooking. Here’s what we are planning for Ashes of Tomorrow between now and December: Phase I: World and progression • Footprints and tire tracks will mark your path through the wasteland. • We will rework sandstorms, visibility during them and how buildings shelter you. • You will earn attribute points as you level up. Phase II: Weapons and construction • New firearms will cover pistols, shotguns, rifles and automatic weapons. • Explosives will give you another way to handle a fight. • Firefights will gain muzzle flashes, bullet impacts, spent casings and shells. • We will expand settlement construction with new buildings types. Phase III: Economy and research • Residents will take jobs, haul resources and use shared storage to meet their needs. • You will manage production chains and unlock new options through research. • Connected utilities will work alongside repair, cleaning and maintenance jobs. • You will assign resident squads to patrol and defend your settlement. Phase IV: World expansion and factions • The playable area will grow to nine times the size of the current demo. • New factions will have their own quests, faction reputations and choices that affect the region. • New enemy types will bring new threats to the wasteland. • You will establish outposts and trade routes to move supplies between locations. Phase V: Visuals and performance • We will rework terrain elevation, floors, sand mounds and dunes. • We will improve performance and stability as the world and its systems grow. We have decided to move the Steam wishlist launch date so the store page can arrive alongside a demo everyone can play. October remains possible, but it may be later. We will announce the date once it’s confirmed. Keep watching our progress every week, with new gameplay footage arriving and a closer look at each part of the roadmap. #Indie #GameDev
