Welcome to the Roadmap for Underlife!

This outline represents the path ahead for the game in 2025.

Right now, I'm wrapping up Underlife 1.1: The Depths Remake, which brings a major graphical overhaul and sets the foundation for everything to come. This release is the starting point for a series of exciting updates, each one building on the last to bring new features, characters, and worlds to life.

Starting with Underlife 1.2: Drifty's Fractured Reality, I'll begin rolling out big new additions to the game. Each update is designed to introduce fresh gameplay elements while continuing to expand the story and the world of Underlife.

Why This Structure?

I've structured the roadmap to keep each update focused and impactful. Instead of dumping too many features all at once, each release will add something new to explore and enjoy while tying everything back into the core story.

Underlife 1.1: A graphical overhaul and technical foundation for future updates.

Underlife 1.2 and Beyond: Major gameplay updates and story arcs, like The Rift and The Flux, each with their own vibe and challenges.

A Note on Flexibility

This roadmap isn't set in stone-things might change based on player feedback and testing.
