Development Roadmap for March - Controller Support Incoming

Controller support will be coming later this week for Dad Quest! We'll also have some more news to share on what the team are working on. Please read below for more details.

Hello everyone, some important announcements today as we aim to release a little more detail on our development roadmap. If you have anything you want to see in the game, do let us know and the team will talk about whether this can be made possible.

Week starting 6th of March - The internal development period

So this was last week, we have been working on development preperation for the next few weeks, but it would be unfair to spoil some of these components at the moment as some of the framework is a focus on the next chapter of the game.

- Library NPC’s being replaced
- Scientists will be less “jacked”
- Child level cap will be made clearer
- Adding crate break particle effect
- Several hints to help players progress
- Narrative outline for the first new chapter

This build won’t be made live, you may see many of these additions however on the build that will go live on the 17th of March

17th of March – Public build to go live

This week will include most of the work that has been done from the 6th of March but also contain a few new features
- 360 controller support – This will be a Beta version of the controller support and it may need some slight changes in time
- A new enemy type in the dungeon.

The team will also be working on several other key parts in development which may not be part of this public update. These include:
- Secondary dad (more info soon)
- Completing missing tracks from the music list so far
- Some work to be done on the save system
- Developing the gameplay for the first chapter

Week starting 20th of March – Internal development

This week we will be continuing our work towards the first chapter, no public build will be made live this week, however we will be working on the following:
- Balancing child abilities
- A bunch of new toys
- Completing missing SFX
- New music
- Dad Tournament
- Further work done for the next Chapter

If you have any requests or comments do let us know in the forums! We all really want to continue bringing you an awesome game and early feedback has been great.
