Development Roadmap

• Phase 1: Core Game & Stability - ⏳ in progress
Focus: Bug fixing, sync, latency, entity visibility


Build basic game - ✅
Smooth & reliable player synchronization (interpolation, prediction, latency compensation)
Bullet and rocket accuracy and sync
Remote player & entity vision - ✅
Server-side logic for all game critical actions - ✅
Hitbox consistency between clients
Entity culling & efficient update broadcasting - ✅




• Phase 2: Testing & Monitoring
Focus: Infrastructure validation


Log latency, desync & packet loss (on server & client)
Add tick ciming display to debug HUG
Setup logs for player disconnects, crashes or lag spikes
Optimize Redis usage (check TTLs, cleanup & key bloat)




• Phase 3: Core Gameplay Loop Expansion
Focus: Build out meaningful gameplay progression


Score tracking, upgrades & weapons tiers
Leaderboards, kill/death stats
Entity evolution (lvl up, ship types, new powers)
Safe zones, zones with environmental hazards (black holes, asteroids)
First version of AI bots (if desired)




• Phase 4: Player Accounts & Progression System
Focus: User login, persistent progression & identity


Implement user login system (username, password & email)
Basic authentication for account access before gameplay
Store user data in database (ships unlocked, items purchased, stats, xp, achievements, cosmetics)
Sync player progress across sessions
Create backend routes and database schema for account management




• Phase 5: Polish & Presentation
Focus: Make it player-ready


Add animations, sounds, visual fx
Ship skin support, shop infrastructure
Minimap enhancements, hud improvements
Settings menu (audio, name change, ship selection)
Matchmaking and lobbies (if needed)




• Phase 6: Public Testing + Scale
Focus: Controlled player load tests


Internal stress test with friends
Performance benchmarking (CPU, Redis ops/sec, memory)
Bug and crash triage
Scale Redis + load balancer if needed




• Phase 7: Monetization & Steam Release Strategy
Forucs: Ethical monetization and broader distribution


Add cosmetic-only microtransactions (skins, trailers, kill fx, ect.)
Implement premium services (name tags, stat tracking, replays, season passes)
Setup a secure web store on astrozaar.com (stripe/paypal, key delivery)
Package Astrozaar for Steam (electron wrapper, installer, basic launcher)
Enable modding support (configureable assets, script overrides, UI skins)
Use Steam as gateway with monetization and control hosted independently
Explore partnerships and optional charity tie-ins
