**Being in Early Access means we can continue to develop the game with feedback from our community.**
We want feedback and input from our players, which is why we’re sharing our Roadmap. You can see:
- which urgent issues we’re tackling,
- what we’re features and content shipping
- what’s work in progress
- what’s coming up.
**Our Roadmap is for informational purposes only. These are our best estimation of planned work, but some things can and will change as we find better or different ideas, solutions or directions.**
We want to hear from our players in our Discord - jump into the The development, timing and release of any functionality, content, and features will ultimately be decided at the discretion of the team, and some things will definitely change! Transparency is a core value for us, however, so we will work hard to be clear with our players on our progress and plans, and any changes we make.
