Hello everyone!
I'm the author and sole developer of the MMO RPG DEV Tycoon game. It's no secret that a Steam game's page is usually created long before its release, and developing such an ambitious project can take a significant amount of time. However, I don't want this project to appear abandoned. Far from it. Today, I want to clarify the status of the project and its current development state, as well as announce the launch of the "Feature Highlights" news series that will cover various aspects of the game in details!
I've broken down the development into milestones. In brief, here's where I stand right now:
1. Initial & Announcement
2. Characters foundation & Skills
3. Game world & Factions & Classes & Items
4. Lands & Terraforming & Objects & Pathfinding
HERE => 5. NPC & Quests & Functional objects
6. Jobs & Crafting & MMO economics
7. Players AI & Overall polishing
8. Optimization & Demo version
9. "Play your MMO" mode
10. Gamedesign features & Events (Raid Bosses, Sieges)
11. Tycoon components & Project management
12. Dungeons
13. Improvements & Requests
14. Sound & Translations
15. Finalizing & Polishing & Optimization
16. Release & Fixes & Support
17. Multiplayer DLC
Some blocks take significantly longer to implement than others, so my estimate of the game's completion is approximately 40%. A tremendous amount of work has been done, laying a solid foundation, and many complex features have already been implemented, which I am proud of. I can't wait to share detailed breakdowns of these features with you! Soon. But for now:
I actively maintain a blog where I post weekly updates about my work over the past week and plans for the upcoming week.

Additionally, I upload videos on YouTube showcasing each new feature when it is completed.

And of course, you can ask any questions, provide feedback, and share ideas in the official Discord.

I'm always available. See you soon!
