Hi everyone! I'd like to share our roadmap for 2019 with you.
January 4th: Cube Universe will leave Steam (see Devlog #11 for more details), but development will continue. We are working on a big update that will add a lot of features and we need to make sure everything works correctly, therefore we won't release any live updates until then. We plan to release updates on the public test version as kind of previews, so you can try them out and give us some feedback if you like to.
February June: Our new website will launch, including a news feed, forum, support tickets, and more.
March August: Release of update Alpha 0.3.0, adding villages, more quests, scenarios (e.g. a village being attacked) (moved to Alpha 0.5.0 update), and space shuttles (moved to Alpha 0.3.1 update). With the launch of that update, we will also launch our store where you can buy the game (and later merchandise like t-shirts, mouse pads etc.). We plan to accept PayPal, credit cards, and later Paysafecard and SEPA Direct Debit (Europe only) as payment methods.
Summer Winter: Another big update, adding dungeons and more content in general (villages, creatures, etc.).
Autumn December: More dungeons, community features like friend lists, server browser, character transfer between servers, ...
Winter Spring 2020: PvP update, official servers.
This is currently our roadmap for 2019, but it may change over time due to some unpredictable factors.
Edit: It did take a little longer than expected, especially the villages and quests were far more complicated than anticipated, but we also added more content than we originally planned.
We wish all of you a Happy New Year!
