Hi everyone,

I'm afraid that due to a number of reasons - not least having an extended chat with Zoythrus over Steam just now - I won't have the road map ready to share with you today.

I did, however, promise some bullets, so here they are (these do not comprise the extent of my notes by any means):

PRODUCTION

Build Frequency: Updates to Opt-In branch every week; updates to the Release branch on a monthly basis.

1. Introduction of Hubworld:
• Meet three other gods (i.e. players) and help each other progress through the game by trading.
• Hubworld will bring you to the Jupiter-sized planet we described in this video – What is GODUS?
• Hubworld will bring Godus to 51% completion and mark the release of v2.1.

NEAR FUTURE – LESS THAN A MONTH

• Ability to connect people together
o Initially PC -> PC, Mobile -> Mobile
 Cross-platform implementation to come later
• Ability to trade with other cultures; the more you trade, the more you advance your own civilisation.
o Trade is its own statistic, you don’t micromanage the trade if wheat, ore or population.
• Simultaneous multiplayer sculpting.
• Simultaneous multiplayer discovery.
o If chests are found, the contents are shared.

MEDIUM TERM – +/- THREE MONTHS

• Players progress up through Hubworld levels
o Each group of four gods earns the right to progress up a Hubworld level.
o One god from each Hubworld will be voted up to the next Hubworld where they will meet three other gods, each drawn from different Hubworlds in the same way.
o Gameplay changes per level
 E.g. in second level Hubworld, each player’s followers will trade blows in Gladiatorial-style combat.

LONG TERM – FURTHER OUT

• Use Hubworld as a tool that allows players to communicate

I will endeavour to complete this when I'm back in the office next week. Please be aware that I'm out of the office tomorrow and on Monday.

In the meantime, please try and stay out of trouble!
