The Roadmap

This is the post that'll lay out the roadmap towards version 1.0.0.0, the major production-ready release of Ballland: World. All major features will be explained, with links towards the relevant threads for specific information on that topic.

Keep in mind that this project is made by a single developer with limited time. It may be several months or more before a specific feature gets implemented.

[To be updated...]

Next version will be 0.0.1.5, and will be a desktop and web release. Keep in mind that the web version will be more limited, and the multiplayer server will be up for limited times.

Major features before next release:
- Tabbed menus: We’ll add more options for personalization and cleaning up the style of the menus.
- Coin mode: Once Zombie mode is stable, we’ll add Coin Gathering’s battle mode to BWorld.
- Key mode: Another battle mode we plan to add will be a modification of capture-the-flag and BBDeluxe’s Bomb Chase mode. 
- Stable online and 1P: We’ll fix up the single player level framework and smash loads of online multiplayer bugs.
- LE extra functionalities: New extra functions to the level editor, including translate, background changers, and laser blocks.
- Renewed tileset: We’ll finish enhancement of the tileset and add new wall types and decorations.
- Clans, clan exclusive rooms: BWorld will have more support for clans and clan exclusive rooms.

After these are implemented, we’ll squash any final bugs and publish the new prototype version. Before doing that, we’ll see about creating a launcher much like BBLegacy’s that handles automatic updating of the game and its files.

Along the way, we have additions such as new soundtracks:
- TechLabs (Techy Tech 2)
- Extrastellar (Stars 2)
- City 2 
- Sunset 2 🟡
- Dark 2
- Tubes

There's a large bug list on the backend.
