Roadmap to Multiplayer #4
Welcome to the fourth Multiplayer Development Roadmap! This thread will be use keep our fans and players up-to-date on what we are working on and how much work still needs to be done until we reach our first open beta test of multiplayer! We’ve made quite a lot of accomplishments in Roadmap #3, so let’s hop right into it:
Summary of previous Roadmap
Roadmap #3 had some very specific goals in mind:
- Improve the general stability of STW
- Finish outstanding work in Sivania
- Launch a dedicated multiplayer beta server for patrons to access 24/7
With our second goal in mind, we were able to accomplish a lot:
- Implement all new tiles for Sivania
- Implement the Temple of Ra quest
- Improve on existing Sivania areas
Lastly, to ensure we actually met these two goals we held another 48 hour test with our Patrons recently on a dedicated server hosted by AWS. We had a rather great test proving that the new content works and we did stabilize the game more. We also found some very important new bugs that we’ve already started fixing.
Goal of Roadmap #4Our main focus for this roadmap is to get our servers up 24/7 for our Patrons. Our patrons have proven to be a vital key to the stability of the game as we are able to work closely with them to find issues as they play and test out the new content and fixes.
In addition to getting the servers up, we plan to address bugs found in our last test as well as implement more content.
At the end of the roadmap we will want to stress test our servers and invite our fans and followers to join our Patrons to play and test STW.
Estimated Completion: January 31st, 2019

New Promises: Pit Stops
What’s a roadmap without stopping to see the sights along the way? One of our biggest misses was having tests way too infrequently. Going forward, we’d like to celebrate each milestone with a good old Patreon test similar to how we have been doing for the past while now. What this means is that while the servers will not be available 24/7 towards the beginning, we hope to have big events where all Patrons can hop on at the same time and experience the new content together (and hopefully feel less bad about some possible character wipes that happen during those times). This should start to feel a little bit like those “patch” or “maintenance” days that you look forward to in your other favorite games. We’ll announce these dates with at least a week’s notice, so check in on the Discord channel from time to time to stay up to date.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support of the mod! We're nearly there now.
