This is a basic outline of some of the future features, updates and mechanics that I have planned for Elemental Elixirs. I will try not to give too much away so theres still a sense of mystery before each major update drops. In between these major updates there will most likely be minor updates and bug fixes which tweak and balance preexisitng mechanics.

When the game hits beta ver. 1.0 is when I should have a game which I feel is worth buying.  The game's price will start off low, around $8 USD, but will increase in price as more content gets completed. This means that early adopters will get all future content free as the game updates. If enough people support the game early, I will be able to focus all of my time and effort onto Elemental Elixirs.

Roadmap

Demo v1.5 - Sound and Quality of Life Improvements

• SFX will be added to the game. I have already begun progress on this update
• Background music
• Adding features that were requested on the itch.io feedback forum

Demo v2 - Endless Mode/Sandbox Mode

• I will be adding an 'endless' type mode where you can continue for as long as possible without running out of gold.
  • This will serve as a basic demo mode, where at the end of each day you will be forced to pay debts which increase until you have no more gold left.
• Sandbox mode
  • Have as much time as you want to do whatever you want in the game. Experiment with combinations or mechanics without worrying about time or gold costs.

Beta v1 - Career Mode

• This will be the first version of the game which will cost money
• Introduction of the Research and Development aspect of the game
  • Research new elements, reactions and potions
  • Develop new ingredients and machine
• Career mode with branching paths
  • You choose where to travel day to day
  • Different locations provide different challenges and goals

Beta v1.x - The Community's Choice

Here are some possibilities of potential future updates. I will host a poll after Beta v1 to determine which one comes first. Just the titles are displayed as these updates are just concepts currently.

1. Metallurgy
2. Artificer
3. Hardcore mode
4. Far Away Lands

Hope you all look forward to it!
