Development Features

The grid below highlights many of the major features, systems and areas of development currently planned for the Cosmic Vessel Project. It is intended to provide an overview of the project's direction and scope, while giving the community visibility into what is being worked on and what is planned for the future.
While this feature grid represents our current vision, game development is an iterative process, some features may evolve, expand, merge together or be reworked as development continues. Likewise, some roadmap cards represent entire collections of systems, assets or content rather than a single standalone feature.
This roadmap is not an exhaustive list of everything planned for the project. Additional content, features and improvements may be added over time as development progresses and new opportunities arise.
Many of the features shown below are actively seeking contributors. If you are interested in helping bring Cosmic Vessel to life, we would love to hear from you. Visit our Join Us page to learn more about the roles currently available and how you can become part of the project.
