Modding wiki

I finally updated the documentation needed to make mods for alpha 11. The wiki has been rewritten, meaning you can no longer find modding info on it for Alpha 10 and earlier versions of the game. You can find the wiki here.

Roadmap

Reward system

I'm adding a task/reward system for the next update. It's no secret that Software Inc. does not hold your hand at any point. You are expected to figure out what you want to do yourself, using the various systems the game has to offer. A lot of players, myself included, need some guidance, to help figure out what is possible. I hope to address this with a task system, that rewards you with furniture unlocks. I will not be gating any of the current furniture behind this feature, and most of the unlocks will be cosmetic or gimmicky, without throwing the game's balancing off, of course.

Official release

When the reward system is done, I will focus on polishing Alpha 11, so I can release it officially.

Conventions and updates

I will then start working on convention and update mechanics, which will probably go in separate releases. However, I expect to avoid breaking save compatibility, so these features will still be part of Alpha 11.

On to beta

When the convention and update mechanics are ready and released, I will move out of alpha and into beta. This does not mean I won't add any more features or that early access will be ending any time soon. Beta just means I won't be overhauling any of the main features, in a way that would completely break save compatibility, as I've done with each major update during the alpha phase. I'm still planning on working more on the deal system, project management and stocks, but the focus will be on bugs, polish and content. How the game plays at this point will be pretty close to the final version, though.
