Roadmap

Next: the faction campaigns
Thirty story missions, ten for each faction, telling one story from three sides. Each campaign opens on its faction's homeworld before the fight moves to Veyra, the Flux Moon:

• Cindral Vanguard begins on Kharos, a red world of foundries and lava breaking apart beneath its people.
  
• Pelagic Choir begins on Neryth, an ocean world of reefs and floating habitats going dark one current at a time.
  
• Zephyrine Court begins on Aurelion, a world of academy terraces and observatories where every treaty hides a blade.

On Veyra the three stories meet. What the moon really is, and what each civilization is willing to do to take it, changes depending on whose eyes you see it through.

After that

• More map generator styles, and more ways to share your maps on the Workshop.
  
• Smarter bots across every difficulty.
  
• Balance and content passes across all three factions.

Toward 1.0
Complete campaigns for all three factions, polished online multiplayer, and the content and balance work for a full launch.
