Roadmap
Where we go. Together.

Welcome to the Game Creator roadmap. We hope to keep this page up to date with the latest news about the development direction of our product.
Each year is divided into 3 quarters. Each quarter is a milestone and has a collection of states. In each state we include epics/tasks that must be done.
- Past quarters have no states.
- Current quarter tasks can be Active or Delayed.
- Future quarters have no states
At the end of each quarter we'll include a small postmortem where we'll share insights of what went right and what went wrong during the development cycle. This will be very useful for both us and you.
Game Creator is a community driven product. Our primary goal is to provide you with stable and reliable releases. As such, any indications of target release dates and features listed are subject to change.

Postmortem
- Shooter module
- Found a way to procedurally create aiming animations which look realistic and allow users to create almost any kind of weapon from a single pose
- The Shooter module took way too long to complete. I was on holiday for 20 days, so there was a time frame I couldn't get to work on it, but still, the pre-production phase took quite a bit

Postmortem
- Game Creator - Release
- Game Creator Store 1.0
- Game Creator Homepage
- Inventory module
- Dialogue module
- Releasing Game Creator within the expected deadline.

- Releasing the Inventory module within the expected deadline.
- Using GitLab CI/CD to automatically deploy new Store modules.
- Using Jekyll as the bare bone structure for our website.
- Using short video tutorials.
- Actions & Conditions architecture. Using Scriptable Objects and attaching them to the scene asset resulted in too many edge cases when creating prefabs or duplicating.
- The Module Manager 1.0 static architecture
- The Variable system was too constrained and did only accept primitive types.
- We couldn't release the Dialogue module within the expected deadline.
