Define goals of the project, make initial estimates, gather feedback, begin writing global and technical design document. Read up on Newtonian physics, mathematics, and the Rust programming language.

Begin work on early prototype. Continue research, finish design documents and make preparations to support an active open-source community.

Open source all code and resources. Continue development in the open and collaborate with anyone who wants to contribute. Do some early promoting to gauge interest.

Release early gameplay and visual preview. Increase promotional efforts. Prepare financial support campaign. Continue development.

Launch financial support campaign to fund full-time development for at least two more years.

Depending on available development time in 2020, launch early access game to community sometime in 2021, or the year after.

The goal of this project is to support a multi-decade game community. As long as I can support my family, this project will become my day job, and the game will continue to be improved, while remaining free for everyone to enjoy and open to the community to contribute to.
