mid 2018

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.

late 2018

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

mid 2019

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.

late 2019

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

early 2020

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

2021 or later

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

into the future

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.
