The Short Version: Divine Orbit is currently in Live Beta. The core engine is running, the physics are punishing, and the tactical loop works. But before we stamp “1.0” on this thing and call it complete, we have some tuning to do.
Here is exactly what to expect over the next few months. We aren’t doing a 10-year live-service roadmap. We have a clear end-goal, and here is how we get there.
Phase 1: Stabilization & Friction Reduction (Next 30 Days)
Right now, the priority is making sure the game doesn’t fight you when you’re trying to play it.
- UI/UX Overhaul: Cleaning up the tooltips, making the menus faster, and ensuring you have the data you need to make tactical choices.
- Physics Tuning: Dialing in the engine constraints so the chaos feels earned, not random.
- Bug Squashing: Fixing the memory leaks and edge-case crashes reported by the early beta testers.
Phase 2: The Meat & The Math (Mid-Beta)
Once the foundation is bulletproof, we add the weight.
- New Crises & Encounters: Introducing mid-to-late game events that will actively try to dismantle your carefully built engine.
- Expanded Tech Tree: Giving you more tools to solve (or accidentally cause) catastrophic failures.
- The Balance Pass: Running the math on every module and mechanic. We want the game to be brutal, but we want it to be fair.
Phase 3: Version 1.0 Launch
The final polish before we take the “Beta” tag off.
- End-Game Scenarios: A definitive, brutal final challenge to test if your orbit can actually survive the void.
- Achievements & Tracking: Full Steam integration so you have the receipts to prove you beat the game.
What We AREN’T Doing:
Just to be clear, Divine Orbit is a complete, single-player tactical experience. We are not adding microtransactions. We are not building a battle pass. When Phase 3 is done, the game is done, and you own it forever.
