Roadmap

Abyss: New Dawn – Roadmap Toward Version 1.0

I don't want to draw up a pretty roadmap and then fail to deliver on it.

So here's what I'm actually working on, until this game is everything it should be.

Phase 1 – Clean Up

Early Access means bugs. I know. You know. First things first - clear out whatever's getting in the way of just playing the game. Performance, stability, the moments that make you want to close the game and walk away. Crafting, inventory, progression - the things you touch every single day - will be revisited and improved.

Goal: Stop making you frustrated.

Phase 2 – Finish What I Started

I'm not planning to turn Abyss into an endless game with new content every month. I had a vision from the beginning — and 1.0 is when that vision gets fully realized, nothing more, nothing less.

Goal: When you finish the game, you feel something. Not emptiness.

Phase 3 – Listen

Not every piece of feedback is right. But there are things only you can see. UI that's hard to read. Mechanics that confuse. Small moments that break the flow. I'll fix those.

Goal: Respect the time of everyone who chose to stay.

-----------------------

One last thing: This roadmap may change - because sometimes reality doesn't match the blueprint. But the direction won't.

-----------------------

Thank you to everyone who stepped into the Abyss with us - while it was still unfinished.

About the Game

---------------------------------

"The Abyss was not meant to exist. Something ancient still sleeps beneath its deepest layer." - Unnamed Explorer.

---------------------------------

Descend into the Abyss...

You were told to hunt them down. But the deeper you go... the more you wonder who the real enemy is.

---------------------------------

A Living World, Split by the Abyss

Six fractured realms stacked beneath each other - each with its own rules
Glide, teleport, leap - the world rewards those who explore
Some paths aren't on any map. Find them anyway.

---------------------------------

The Things That Hunt You Back

Every realm has its own apex predator - and they remember you
Some are corrupted. Some are ancient. Some are both.
A few can be avoided. Most cannot.

---------------------------------

You Can't Fight What You're Not Prepared For

Resources run out. Enemies don't.
Mine deeper. Craft smarter. Descend further.
The Abyss doesn't wait for you to be ready.

---------------------------------

Build Something Worth Coming Back To

Craft gear, cook meals, forge weapons
Decorate your own space between descents
Your shelter is the only safe place left

---------------------------------

Not Everything Down Here Wants to Kill You

Farm. Fish. Breathe.
Peaceful moments exist - right before the next world tries to end you.

---------------------------------

Tame Beasts. Ride Legends.

Some creatures can be tamed - if you're patient enough
Mounts don't just carry you. They change how you move through the world.
A T-Rex at your side hits different.

---------------------------------

Your Abyss. Your Rules.

A small start, but the first step of a grand journey!

From Nothing to Something

A simple tool today, but who knows what you'll craft tomorrow?

Now you're ready to face the challenges ahead!

Embers of a New Dawn

A single spark ignites the journey ahead. Your first campfire marks the beginning of an unforgettable adventure.

Through the First Night

The darkness couldn't take you, but can you survive the nights to come?

Every legend begins with a stone and a stick.

Your first ancient scroll - a forgotten voice echoes through the void.

When ten scrolls are unveiled, the Abyss begins to remember your name.

A faint echo in the Abyss, but enough to awaken something grand.

Symphony of Revelation

No longer solitary echoes... but a symphony of awakening.

Sometimes, the very first light is born from darkness.

It may not gleam like gold, but copper rings with warmth.

Iron for the Stubborn

Forged from sweat and scars, iron is the spine of the wild.

Who says gold is greed? Gold can be hope too.

Abyssinite - The Void’s Core

It does not shine. It devours light.

Diamonds Under Pressure

Some crumble in the dark… others shine.

They say those who find it may hear the forest whisper.

A fallen star, now held in your hands.

Lifestone - Earth's Pulse

Put your ear to it, and feel the earth breathe.

Igniscore - Heart of the Flame

Touch it, and you'll know why fire gods go mad.

Sigil of the Abyssbound

You're no longer an explorer. Your blood runs with stone, your soul twined with roots. The Abyss whispers your name when the dark stirs. There's no turning back now.

Veilbaker’s Legacy

Amidst the mist and lullaby, your dish makes the ghosts pause, nod, and fade away.

From millennial lifeblood and soul-forged wood, you piece together the forgotten fragments of Titanholm. Do not let it weep.

Excavation of the Silent One

You dig through wordless sediment, where fossilized souls of millions of years await someone… willing to listen.

You crystallize the dream of stone, pressing history into each fragile shard that breathes in the dark - known as Ore Relic Fragments.

A sharpened axe strikes to the very root, a mighty pick pierces the world’s soul. When both echo in unison, the heart of the Abyss shall be forged.

You do not fight the Darkness. You persuade the Abyss to keep dreaming. A silent choice... that shakes the threads of fate.

From an ancient crack, a fragrance awakens - and memories begin to sprout.

Stillness in Survival

Some plants were born to survive - and their Essence exists to tell that story.

Light Within the Inferno

It is in the deepest dark that the first drop of light is born.

Sprout of the Hollow Soul

A seed with no soul - yet it carries a hope greater than anything that has ever lived.

The Great Tree opens its eyes once more. Its first petal is also the last of an era.

Not everyone sees that light - but you’ve planted something the world had long forgotten.

The Simmering Beginning

The fire crackles, its scent filling the air - and you understand: cooking, too, is a way of calling forth forgotten memories from Abyss.

Veilbaker’s Legacy

Amidst the mist and lullaby, your dish makes the ghosts pause, nod, and fade away.

Culinary Dreamweaver

Just one bite is enough to make the eater recall their first life. You, who weaves flavors with the world of dreams.

A small sprout pushes its way through the earth, as if whispering the first secret of Abyss: that this place, too, still breathes.

Seeds once forsaken now bloom. They sing of a legend - and speak your name.

You don’t just plant - you awaken an ancient dream sleeping in the heart of the earth. Verdancia has welcomed home its wandering child.

You’ve sown hope through spring’s gentle rains, summer’s blazing breath, autumn’s golden hush, and winter’s quiet slumber. The Abyss watches - and smiles. You are no longer a visitor, you are the rhythm of the land.

Ripples of Curiosity

A single ripple, a silent greeting. The conversation has begun.

Veil of the Abyssbound Leviathan

To reel in a legend is to lift part of the Abyss itself. The wind halts. The water holds its breath.

Voice of the Abyssal Deity

Some souls wear scales. Some gods speak only through the hook.

You have dethroned the ruler of Primorath, but many more lords of darkness remain…

Zephyrion has lost its master, the winds of death now whisper instead of roar.

Eclipsia was a realm of unbroken darkness-until today, when the moon itself fell.

You silenced the final whisper of Zor’eth Ul’nar – the Primordial Darkness. But in the quiet that follows, did you truly win… or simply become what you’ve slain?

A few Goblins? No problem. But can you go on once your hands bear their mark?

Phantom in the Night

They whisper of a hunter lurking in the dark... Yet none lived to tell the tale.

Slime splatters everywhere… But do you notice some are staring at you?

Torrent of Devastation

Once devoured by an unrelenting tide of ooze, now nothing remains but dust.

The Invisible Thread

Just a nod, a glance, and a piece of stale bread... and so begins a wordless bond.

The Ancient Pactbearer

They were once legends. Now, they walk beside you. Each of their steps rewrites a new stanza in the epic the heavens must remember.

One with the Celestials

You are no longer the master - but the final piece that makes the cosmos whole. Creatures of myth bow quietly... at last.

You have vanquished a creature born of the void. But darkness still looms ahead…

A hundred voidborn creatures lie in ruins at your feet. In the endless night, a warrior still stands.

The First Breath of the Past

It’s not just an item. It is breath, memory, a sigh from an age no one remembers.

The Hymn Never Written

They were never meant to be found. They are prayers never spoken, frozen into form, drifting through the layers of the Abyss like fossilized shooting stars.

Trace of the Supreme One

Once every thousand years, the Abyss births a treasure that does not belong to this world. It falls from unnamed stars, soaked in whispers of a race lost since the universe was still damp. “You have found it. Or rather… it has waited for you since before the world had form.”

Ancient Slime Essence

Within the hearts of the earliest Slimes, time dripped like morning dew. And when it lingered long enough… it turned to stone.

The symbols of earth and mankind - the first step on a path of no return.

Unlocked the Rune of Light - the final hope of a forgotten age. “The last sun never sets - for it burns within your heart.”

Unlocked the Rune of Darkness - where all vows begin and end. “You do not step into the dark. You are the dark.”

The Moon’s First Watch

Seven nights. Seven times the moon changed its hue. And you still haven't run?

A full month. The wind whispers. The darkness listens. Are you still… you?

Half a year in silence. The fire still burns. Your heart still beats.

163 days. 163 awakenings. 163 chances to walk away. But you’re still here.

And so it begins - the first mist brushes against your soul. Don’t worry. Everyone has a fall that leaves a mark.

Even Reaper Grows Weary

One thousand times? Even the Reaper sighs: “You again?”

You don’t know why you’re running - only that you must.

The One Who Never Stops

It’s not about the destination. Stopping was never an option.

A trembling glide. An unsure leap. And a belief that had never flown – yet dared to try.

Breath of the Skyborne

As you take flight, the ancient gods whisper: “He has reached the place where once… we reigned.

Wings of a Forgotten Saga

They once were tales told by the campfire, of a glider forged by the Gods themselves. None remember its form – only that it flew, and carried light across the Abyss.

You wear not just fabric, but the whisper of a world newly opened.

Bearer of Forgotten Gaze

Some outfits make monsters take a step back. Not from fear - but because they’ve seen it before… in a past age.

Canticle upon the Soul

You wear no longer mere fabric, but a belief. This was once glory, once tragedy, once an oath woven from soul. It chooses no one - until you arrive.
