Something Like a Roadmap

Hello,
Thank you for playing "Axiom of Maria: Prologue." There have been frequent questions about the sequel, so I've put together a brief roadmap.
"Axiom of Maria" was inspired by an old TV series called A Team. I wanted to depict a story where the few remaining people in a seemingly hopeless future casually banter. Initially, I considered making three to five chapters.
The prologue you played is a prequel to the main chapters, and I'm currently preparing the first chapter. The playtime of the first chapter will be similar to or slightly longer than the prologue, and I aim to complete it by the end of next year. Based on the feedback from the prologue, I have improved the controls, UI, and level design, and I'm particularly striving to properly incorporate metroidvania elements that couldn't be fully implemented in the prologue.
I would like to include a different form of bike combat at the end of the game, but this may change depending on the development circumstances. It seems more likely to be completed as a standalone game rather than DLC.
Thank you once again.
