Grounded roadmap includes ziplines, bees, and more
Obsidian Entertainment has released its Feature Board for Grounded which highlights a number of features that the team is working on.
“Our goal from the start was to include the community in the development in Grounded, and with that, we want to be as transparent as possible with features we plan to work on,” the developer said. “This feature board includes high-level details on plans for Grounded, and we would like to update it as we progress each month.
“As a caveat, we are still in active development, and this board is subject to change based on your feedback, the state of development, what’s best for the game, the unknown, and our future plans. Nothing is set in stone and features could be moved up, pushed back, or unfortunately removed.”
In the short term, the team is working on ziplines, a Koi Pond environment, friend invites, new items, additional BRUG.L quest types, and inventory management improvements. There are also plans to introduce mosquitos as a new hostile creature and bees as a neutral creature.
