This post is an overview of all the things we currently have on our long-term roadmap, organised by general subject areas.
If you’d rather see items by status, you can look them up by tag as described in About the Feature Roadmap.
There are a couple of additional markers to convey factors influencing priority beyond mere player votes:
signifies features that are urgent for commercial reasons, because they suffer from major game design issues or because they bear no resemblance to reality
marks parts of the game that are are very old and thereby hinder development progress for technical reasons (due to outdated tech/frameworks being used) and/or provide a bad user experience due to their age
idea that tentatively exists on the roadmap but I haven’t had the time to write up a brief yet (hence, no link to a post in the roadmap category)
