Roadmap
We do not want to overpromise and underdeliver. That is why our roadmap has a focus on the short term plans – items we are currently working on. That doesn’t mean we don’t have a long term vision, but it does mean that rather than hyping up what we will achieve “soon”, we want to give you transparency on what we are actually doing: which is creating an awesome game!
