# Project Roadmap

"The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men, / Gang aft agley." ― Robert Burns, "To a Mouse"

### The Beginning. 🌅

This project started back in September 2021 with a few Protagonist NFTs and a simple Discord bot, on the Grocery Store Game server, actually. We've made slow but steady progress since then, and have a lot planned. No dates are provided for the roadmap, since they are highly variable. (Consider them Soon™.)

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that the game is currently in **beta**. This means that, at some point, Protagonist Levels will be reset and rewarded. (All ASAs, items, and game currency will be kept.)
{% endhint %}

### **Game Content. 🕹️**

Arcadian Bot has come a long way, but it is far from finished. These are some of the milestone updates that we have planned.

* **Combat System.** PvE as well as PvP.
* **Caravan System.** Split up your party and travel separately; even with other players!
* **Scenario System.** Cool scenarios such as quests, reactive to your ASAs and status.
* **In-World Events.** Pop-up boss raid? Traveling merchants?
* **Resource & Crafting System.** Collect and craft your own items.

### **Other Content. 🎨**

Meanwhile, the Bot is not all. The Art/NFT and Community side of things is real.

* **Unique Protagonists.** Custom [Protags](/rpg/algorand-assets/tokens-and-nfts/protagonist-nfts.md#unique), Collabs, etc.
* **Complete Gen 2 Protagonists.**
* **More Lore.** Pieces that need to be fleshed out, and some that need to be presented.
* **Additional Cards.** More sets, as well as Cards to go with Combat and Crafting.
* **More Events.** As always, fun stuff like Story Campaigns and Competitions.

### Reach Goals. 🚀

Some of the more long-term and/or uncertain goals of the project. These are not guaranteed, but they are things that we would like to see.

* A browser version of Arcadian Tales, fully compatible with the Discord bot.
* Bot-run dungeons mini-campaigns, featuring player-crafted scenarios.
* Simple merchandise.

As always, we aim to deliver quality content. However, the specifics are often a matter of circumstance.
