Greetings, friends! Since the last update, we have released a fair few patches and continued actively working on the new batch of content. Together with that, were trying to always be there to read your amazing feedback and cooperate on the features, fixes and changes you recommend. All in all, we have come a very long way since the start of the Early Access, and right now were giving it our all to improve the already made parts of the game, and add new ones as the plot demands it. Seeing how this is a very hard process thats also very difficult to track, we decided to share our Roadmap with you, so that you always be able to see where were at in the development process. This roadmap contains general information about the work we have already done, as well as about the features and content were planning for the release. It doesnt include post-release support, because were never setting an expiration date on that part of development, as some of you already know.
April Well start off with a big content update. Afterwards, well continue adding to the game, focusing more and more on the main plot line. New characters will appear in the Outskirts, Grey Corner, Factory, Mikhalychs Tavern, Police, Docks, Kolotushkin Str. Plus, were already adding the first people for the upper tier of the city. April will also be a month we rebalance some of the weapons and skills; well also continue working on visuals and soundscape. May-June All of our teams strength will be used to finalize the main story line and the mechanics that are already in the game. Well then work on some of the yet unintroduced mechanics you asked us for, and add to some special locations were not willing to spoil just yet :) After the big update planned for this time period, you will finally be able to finish the game! The development process wont stop there, however, since its not all about the main plot.
July After finishing the main storyline in all of its forms, we will expand the roster of side quests and plot unrelated locations. Well set to finalize the Lighthouse, the Caves, the new bunker and well add to the locations that already exist. August Random encounters and adventure maps will receive new additions in this part of the work process. Well also add a few special side quest lines and characters to the upper and lower tier locations. September This month will be used to stabilize and finalize the game before release. Its the last month for finishing all major additions to the game, making the last icons, objects, sets of armor, loading screens, etc. Well also finalize the trade and combat balance. IMPORTANT: Before the release hits, well have to wipe the old save files, to ensure the correct compatibility between the new and old content, as well as optimize the games performance. We wish to deeply apologize for postponing the release. Our communal wish to make Trudograd a really great game brought us before new quality standards, which unfortunately ask for more resources, finances, and most importantly - time. Although this was not an easy decision to make, we dont want to cut the game Trudograd became and wish to tell its story to the fullest. We value your support and understanding over all else. Thank you for being with us. And let there be ATOM!
