Since Nomad came to Steam on the 26 Jun 2015, we have done 38 updates containing 542 changes, fixes and new additions (that's on average 1.5 updates per week). We have already done everything on the list from the first roadmap. It's been a very successful period for us on Steam. Like always, the development process is being streamed on Twitch at www.twitch.tv/bluemurdergaming
So what's next for us? Here is a small Roadmap for 2016.
Nomad is still in alpha and will push into Beta at 0.5 and onwards. We're close, we're at 0.46.
- Clothes. I want more sets of clothes in the game which range from makeshift clothes crafted from hide/leather/cloth, up to beef'd up military gear. I also want to add more crazy and odd clothing items such as a rabbit hats, the giant pig head and more.
- Backpacks. More backpacks in the game, we only have around 7 in the game now. I think it will be cool to see more
- Vehicles. A highly, highly requested feature and this will come after we push into beta. I want quad bikes, cars, pickups trucks and more. I'm also toying with the idea of having helicopters in which you need to repair first before you fly.
- Weapons. I want to completely re-do the -entire- collection of weapons we have. Completely remodel them so they fit in the world of Nomad. This means having a weapon such as the KA-74 to look more rusty and old. Right now all weapons look pristine. This is something I want to change.
- Building. I want to add more building modules for players. Having triangle shaped foundations to shape your buildings better. Window bars, ramps, roofs, chimneys and more.
- Upgrading buildings. You can go from cardboard to wood to stone at the moment. I want to add in metal buildings, reinforced metal buildings and so on. Each time you upgrade, it takes more C4 to blast through.
- Skins. Another highly requested feature. The ability to change the default skins and play whatever you want.
- Farming. Revisit the farming feature and add more to it. Simple as that.
- Mining. I think it'll be cool to craft mining machines that will mine for you. So I'll be looking into this.
- Reputation system. Finish the rep system so we can have bandit and hero safe zones which act like a hub for the world.
Thank you for supporting and playing Nomad.
Happy Holidays!
