Devlog #2 - 7/26/25 - "Follow the road ahead, you might find something important..."

Wow! It hasn't even been 3 days! So why am I doing another devlog?

I'm doing this devlog to kinda tell you people about the game's roadmap. For those unaware, a roadmap (in gamedev) is basically just plans for the future of the game's development so... here ya go! 

Physical Game Development (Assets and gameplay implementation.) -

- Last devlog I said I wanted to focus on story before I start REALLY working on Furthermore, however I did go ahead and start working on a prototype version of the game. Right now I have basic movement, and a basic companion-like NPC. I plan to make multiple of these companions follow the player soon and also improving the movement.

General Story -

- The story's development has gone well so far! I keep constantly checking it and asking friends of mine to check it, and I've gotten mixed responses. Needless to say, I need more time for the story.

World Building (Settings, and characters.)-

- I love world building, it's probably my one of my favorite things in terms of story. Right now, I've got a handful of characters, and I plan to make more of them (some may or may not be companions that the player can recruit). I've started writing dialog for NPCs like vendors and sellers. In terms of settings and places, I think I have a good idea on how I'm going to create them.

Concepts -

- I have a bunch of concepts for all of the things listed above, the thing is that these are only concepts and not implemented into the game/story yet. I have a basic outline for how the inventory system will work, I also have plans for recruitable NPCs and missions alongside them, I also have a vivid outline for combat in the future.

So... What's next? 

Well I'm going to be taking some time to finish up at least 50% of this stuff, but I hope can complete more then that. I also have school on my back which is going to drain the ever-living life out of me. Thankfully I have this week off, so hopefully I get some stuff done. If I somehow finish a small alpha build and you guys wanna see it I'll make sure to release it. If you have any questions, leave a comment, I'll most likely respond.

Anyways...

See ya next devlog!
