How to read this roadmap
- The numbers come from the tracker the team works in every day, and the activity from the game repository, shown in relative terms. This page reads both every 15 minutes.
- Progress counts the tasks opened so far for each system. New tasks appear as work goes on, so a percentage can go down.
- Phases and their contents can change during the alpha. Dates only appear here once they are confirmed.
Closed alpha
The closed alpha is open for applications
Pilots who get in help decide what comes next on this roadmap. Every friend who completes an application moves you 10 places up.
Engine & dedicated servers
Our own source build of Unreal Engine 5 with dedicated server builds, automated tests and a release pipeline.

About this system
COLONIZED runs on our own build of Unreal Engine 5, compiled from source so the game can ship dedicated servers. Every change passes an automated test suite before it reaches the main build, and the server is also built for Linux, where the game servers run.
One continuous world across servers
The world is split into zones run by separate servers, and a pilot crosses from one to the next without a loading screen.

Tasks closed per week (last 12 weeks)
About this system
Movement is decided by the server, with lag compensation. A gateway keeps every character, and a relay hands a pilot from one zone server to the next while they keep moving, on foot or aboard a ship. Zones start and stop on demand, large battles get their own space, and creatures change server with the zone they walk into.
Scale architecture and bot load tests
Technical target: around 1,000 pilots on one server machine, spread over several zone processes and measured with bot load tests.

About this system
Each zone process is sized for 100 to 160 pilots, and several of them share one machine. We measure it with crowds of server-side bots, up to a sustained 300-bot battle, against a fixed time budget for every server tick. It is the target we test against, not a promise about server size at launch.
Security & anti-cheat
Steam sign-in, anti-cheat, encrypted traffic and server-side checks on every action a client sends.

About this system
The server has the final say on movement, damage and inventory. On top of that come Steam identity, a client anti-cheat layer, traffic encrypted through Steam's relay network so server addresses stay hidden, and validation with rate limits on every call a client can make.
Interface & HUD
A design system of our own for the HUD and every menu, ready for keyboard and gamepad and wired to live game data.

About this system
Every screen comes from one component library, from the HUD to inventory, crafting, storage, chat, quests and the map. Screens read live data from the game systems, so what the HUD shows is what the server knows.
Core systems: vitals, damage, inventory
Health and vitals, damage, death and respawn, inventory, equipment and hotbar, all decided by the server.

About this system
These are the rules every other system plugs into. Stats, damage and respawn are decided by the server, and inventory, equipment slots and hotbar stay in sync for every player who can see you.

About this system
The same behaviour system drives every creature and hostile NPC from data, from melee hunters and ranged shooters to flying scouts and passive herds. A creature only becomes a full actor when a player is near, so a zone can hold many of them at little cost.

About this system
The hangar shows each ship in real time, with its moving parts and, for the ones that have it, an interior you can walk through. The Codex and the Chronicle tell the universe in English and Spanish, the Compis answer questions in their own voice, and the roadmap you are reading is built from the project's real task tracker.

About this system
Planets orbit Aurin and moons orbit their planets on Keplerian paths computed from the clock, so every player sees the same sky without positions being sent over the network. The star is lit as a real star, with a corona and eclipses, against a high-resolution sky of nebulae. Quantum travel takes you from one body to another inside the system.

About this system
Space, atmosphere and surface are one continuous trip. Far from a planet its surface costs nothing to draw; up close it streams in under you. From orbit, each body shows the oceans, cloud cover and atmosphere you find on the ground, with day and night tied to its real rotation, and a graphics menu lets you set upscaling and frame generation.
Selvane: the canyon moon
The first world finished end to end, with red canyons, pressurised settlements and buried outposts spread over 105 sites.

About this system
Selvane, the small moon of Ithera, was the first world we built end to end. Its relief comes from real elevation data, never invented, and each kind of site, from the canyons of La Cicatriz Gemela to Ciudad Albor and Caldera Rescoldo, is authored once and repeated across the surface with the ground adapting around it. A performance pass covered every site at every altitude and raised the lighting quality at the same time.

About this system
Ithera is the first planet with a biome region of its own, a grassland cap at its north pole built with the same system as Selvane and only different data. The relief comes from real highland elevation data, grass grows in dense patches with bare earth between them, and the ground beyond drawing distance is tinted to match so the horizon stays steady.

About this system
Four distance rings keep vegetation continuous out to the horizon. Each ring hands over to the next at matching density, so nothing appears in front of you as you walk, skim the treetops in a ship or descend through the atmosphere.
Weather & clouds
Volumetric clouds that build up and clear, wind by latitude, fog, rain, lightning and seasons, the same from the ground and from orbit.

About this system
Weather is computed from each planet's seed and the system clock, so every player sees the same storm without the server streaming it. Clouds grow and erode as cover changes and travel with the wind. Fog, rain, lightning and their sound follow, and seasons come from each planet's tilt and orbit.
Milestones
- Dynamic weather on every world, driven by its lore: rain, snow, dust, fog, lightning and wind
Character creator
Sculpt a believable human face by blending 13 facial regions, with real skin, hair and expressions, and take it into the game.

About this system
Faces are built by blending up to four donor heads in each of 13 facial regions, with the seams feathered so the result reads as one face. Skin, hair, eyes and facial expressions follow the blend, and the face you make is the one other players see, saved with your character.
Movement & animation
Motion-matched locomotion with feet that settle on slopes and stairs, unarmed, with a pistol or with a rifle.

Tasks closed per week (last 12 weeks)
About this system
Each step is picked from a large library of captured motion instead of blending a handful of loops, and the feet adapt to slopes and stairs. The three stances, unarmed, pistol and rifle, share the same system, and the whole set has been retuned on the bodies that come out of the character creator.
Combat in first and third person
Weapons with their own arm animations, aiming down measured sights and a third-person rifle stance on the same motion system.

About this system
Every weapon has its own first-person arm set for reloading, inspecting and recoil. In third person the arms keep the same grip and the crosshair stays true over a full-body rifle stance. Gloves and bracers are always worn, so the hands look right with every weapon and every outfit.
Ship flight, cockpit & landing
A flight model with a flight-control computer, decoupled aiming, cockpit displays and assisted landing, set per ship by data.

About this system
Ships fly on a model the server controls, with a flight-control computer between your controls and the thrusters, a free-aim reticle the ship turns to follow, an afterburner that burns fuel and builds heat, and multi-function displays in the cockpit. Every value comes from the ship's data sheet, so a new ship is new data, not new code.

Ship interiors & crew
Walk, sit and fight inside a ship while it flies, even during a quantum jump, with gravity handled between ship, space and planet.

About this system
The interior is part of the game, not a backdrop. Players move around the hull while it flies, without jitter or sliding, and switch cleanly between ship gravity, zero-g and planet gravity. Interiors are built in two layers, so the same rules hold for ships of any size with several crew members aboard.

About this system
Building closes the survival loop. A resource from the world becomes a recipe, the recipe a building item in your hotbar, and the item a structure with snapping, damage and working doors. Bases are stored on the server, and the system is being prepared for very large builds of 10,000 to 50,000 pieces in a single zone.
First missions: charter flights
The early game is told in phases, and every phase is the same transport mission: board a shared flight, land and do the job.

About this system
Accepting the mission books you a seat on a shared flight that leaves on the hour with whoever is aboard. The ship sets the mission zone where it lands, and the first phase sends you out to gather. Later phases reuse the same flight, seats and landing with a new destination and a new task.
Compis: companion drones
Five drones that float at your shoulder, talk and specialise you, each with its own talent tree. One is active at a time.

About this system
Each Compi belongs to one of the five Global Guilds: Baluarte, the tank, to The Vanguard; Avispón, damage, to Apex Syndicate; Lumbre, healing, to The Pioneers; Fuelle, gathering and crafting, to The Forge; and Cuadrante, the pilot, to The Pathfinders. You earn one through its guild's mission chain and craft its shell from a blueprint. In the story they are auxiliary cores of the Aura Fleet, lost and now recovered.

About this system
Melvara, the large moon of Ithera, gets a real ocean, with a sea surface at planetary scale, swimming and diving, shore foam and water whose colour follows the depth of the seabed. Islands are generated from one hand-built seed island at the same density and quality. The biome is now moving from its test world onto Melvara itself, under the same light, clouds and atmosphere as the rest of the system.

About this system
Generic stone gives way to real rock types, such as basalt, granite, quartz and feldspar, set by each body's geology. The game's minerals follow natural patterns, with densities and respawn sized for a busy server, and meteorites carry materials you cannot find on the ground. A two-mode mining tool breaks nodes with one beam and carries the loose material into containers with a tractor beam.
Landscapes: canyons, mesas and sites
Rock formations fused into the terrain as canyons, mesas and cliffs, with mines and outposts composed by rules from the lore.

About this system
Large rock pieces are no longer scattered. They fuse into formations that behave like terrain, with the ground blended at their base, vegetation on top and scree at their feet. Sites follow kits for mines, hubs, observatories and customs posts, placed by rules tied to each world's history, and new meshes fill the gaps, from mid-size rocks and karst to mine entrances and the wreck of the Ark.
Milestones
- Every world's sites placed by the generator, ready to be seen up close and from afar
