Some people asked about a roadmap of the game, so I will keep track of it here for everyone to read. Developing Exipelago is a fluid process so most future additions are not even known yet. Things pointed here are either clearly decided or partly integrated, despite still tied to currently unkown factors. Therefore this list does not represent a guarantee for planned features but a high will to integrate.
(This list may not be complete and in no particular order)
Be aware that further work is directly tied to sales or wishlists for the currently available Early Access Version. This list can change at any time to whatever the community asks.
Planned Features (if enough sales/wishlist):
will certainly come to the game
Stretch Goals:
depending on Player Interest / Success of EA / Wishlists etc- if noone is interested in the game it makes no sense to make them
Partly Implemented Features:
basically implemented but not to its full extent
Fully Implemented Features:
fully working features already in the game
