Release Road Map
To help all understand our release targets, the following outlines what we are aiming for with new release.
At this time this is not a strict road map. That is, we will not reject work from future targets while working on earlier targets unless it blocks our effort on the existing targets. If a future target gets completed earlier then we may update the road map and related milestones to reflect that it will fall under an earlier release.
Milestone Additional work we'd like to do but has not been assigned to a release target yet.
- Migrate portions of the VS:UtCS Python modules into the Game Engine that are helpful for building out the Python functionality (example: GUI.py)
- Officially reverse the relationship between the Vega Strike Engine (https://github.com/vegastrike/Vega-Strike-Engine-Source) and Game Assets for Vega Strike: UtCS.
- Vega Strike Engine and Assets will be able to be released on separate intervals after this.
