Hello everyone,
As some of you may know, I want to involve the community to have a say in which direction Gaia should be taking while in development and Early Access. The way this will work is by implementing different packages in Gaia. The basic idea is to work on a package, finish it and move on to the next. This way, the game can grow according to what the community wants the most while also maintaining a playable version at all times.
The first package will be ready for release with the Early Access version so I'm making this little poll for you guys to vote on what this first package should be! You can vote by posting a comment on this announcement or on the forums, but not on both places please.
Below is a short list of all the packages that I'd personally want to one day see in Gaia.
Currently proposed packages:
° Endgame options
— Build a spaceship to escape
— Find the time device that allows the player to go back in time (think Prince of Persia) and keep playing in sandbox mode.
° Disasters
— Natural disasters. These would consist of thunderstorms, tornadoes, eclipses and more. They would impact gameplay.
° Vehicles
— Initial vehicles would include a small submarine (if the marine package was implemented) and a mech to help you get around faster, carry more stuff and provide more protection.
° Follower
— These little robots would help with your survival by providing more inventory space, an additional gun or just make your life more enjoyable.
° Journal System
— Semi random text generation to build up a story. Amanda will be writing in her journal everyday. She’ll describe the events that happened to her or around her.
° Biomes
— Different biomes such as winter and desert.
° Modding
— Being able to mod simple things at first, such as stats, textures and UI.
° Marine life
— Fishes, corals and other underwater gameplay.
° Character creation
— Be able to make your own character. Amanda would still be the default option.
I don't want to make this post too long, so if you want to see an in depth description of each one of these packages, head over to the forums by following the link below:

Edit: Added a new package: character creation.
