Chocoblox Factory Tycoon - v1.0 Roadmap

Up-to-date Roadmap

The below is extremely outdated.

v1.0. It’s coming closer each day and I’ve thought out a roadmap for it.

The new map still needs a bit more feedback, I’m still taking feedback but not making changes because Update 32.5 still needs to come out. This would take about a week.
Building the tycoon is next, what I mean is all the models are modeled. This should only take two weeks.
Next is rewriting the tycoon. This is probably not as hard as it may seem and I expect it to take 3 weeks. Types of chocoblox/different products is gonna happen I decided, it needs to happen so there’s a bit more variability. This should take 3 weeks. Rewriting the tycoon might actually take less time because from a scripting standpoint, there’s more scripting to be done with types of chocoblox (I think).

At that point I’ll be finishing or will be done with school, so I’ll have more time for things. Final touches and final testing will take at least 3 weeks, if I decide to add quests you can expect that to take at least 6 weeks (which seems too long but as you can see it took me at least a month to add 10 quests, and the other 10 aren’t even added yet). The release will be 2 weeks from the finish of development on whatever that Friday is.

This all adds up to 14 weeks or 17 weeks from the release of Update 32.5. Another thing, Update 32.5 will come out April 8th now. At this point there’s 3-ish days to the release time and I still need to add 10 more quests. 14 weeks from April 8th brings us to the middle of July. 17 weeks from April 8th brings us to the beginning of August (and if it takes a bit longer I’m not gonna force myself to release it on the anniversary).

This doesn’t mean it’s coming out exactly around that time, the future is uncertain. A bug might not be able to be fixed for a while and I might lose motivation because of that. Then the contingency plan comes into effect which would probably take about idk, 8 weeks or something. Worse case scenario is I just can’t do it anymore and Update 32.5 is just called v1.0.

Anyways, hopefully it doesn’t have to go there, these aren’t hard deadlines I’m setting, but I’ll work as hard as I can to get v1.0 out. Obviously I won’t push myself to the limit, that would not be good for me.

Thanks,
