Because this is a solo indie game, I can keep adding new content and support the game for years to come, purely out of passion. Here's what you can expect in the future:

- Procedurally generated world using a seed, with different biomes ranging from deserts to snowy tundras, randomly generated settlements, enemy hideouts, deadly robotic dogs scattered everywhere, and other structures
- Top-down shooter mechanics to combat enemies and tear down the world using all kinds of weapons - from pistols to chromosome launchers
- Lots of craftable building structures - floors, walls, windows, lights, furniture - that you can use to build your own base and reshape the world to your liking
- Character customization including a variety of hair, a color wheel for your skin and hair color, and different clothes to find in-game
- Farming mechanics allowing you to plant crops, bushes, and breed animals using the semen blaster
- Caves full of ores, materials, and poop that you can gather and trade with merchants
- Three different game modes: survival - the default game experience, creative - enabling you to build and experiment in peace, and hardcore - a permadeath mode
- ...and more!

Because this is a solo indie game, I can keep adding new content and support the game for years to come, purely out of passion. Here's what you can expect in the future:

- Automation and electricity
- Dungeons
- Settlement building
- Modding support
- Vehicles
- Accessories with special abilities and armor
