Labyrinth RPG Roadmap

The roadmap avoids exact dates unless a release is already committed. Items may shift as testing and player feedback shape the next build.

Planned Next

Near-Term Priorities

Village and NPC progressionNPCs should become part of long-term settlement growth through roles, staffing, training, equipment, and building support.
First special Labyrinth roomsOptional lost or ruined village-themed rooms can add lore, risk-reward choices, Wisp reactions, and one-run rewards.
More Wisp barks and story reactionsShort reactions should help the world respond to discoveries without slowing down desktop, mobile, or VR play.
First resource-pressure trapsTraps should pressure mana, healing, durability, timing, or rewards instead of unfairly ending the run.
First gesture-based puzzle prototypeAbility-sequence puzzles can use the game's gesture identity without becoming mandatory progression blockers.

Planned Later

More special room variantsRooms such as a Forgotten Infirmary, Ancient Alchemist, Lost Blacksmith, or Ruined Inn can make each floor feel more authored.
NPC reactions to discoveriesVillage characters should notice meaningful finds and help connect dungeon discoveries back to the settlement.
Role bonuses from matching discoveriesStaffing and class choices can matter more when the right NPCs connect with the right rooms, tools, or opportunities.
More triad-based floor identityFloor themes can shape enemy pressure, rewards, hazards, and room flavor so runs feel less interchangeable.
More boss-floor framing and modifiersBoss floors can gain stronger setup, combat modifiers, and stakes tied to the current run.

Experimental Ideas

NPC comments based on class or roleParty composition could create small moments of recognition without turning dialogue into a long interruption.
Puzzle poems with deeper ability vocabularyShort clues could ask players to read ability identity, order, and gesture language in new ways.
Special room chains across multiple runsRare room sequences could reward repeated exploration while still preserving run-to-run variation.
Rare rooms that change the tone or rules of the current floorUnusual discoveries could temporarily shift rewards, hazards, or pacing for a memorable run.

Not Planned

A fixed linear campaignThe game is built around repeatable descents and settlement growth, not a single straight campaign path.
Mandatory story rooms that block floor completionStory content should enrich runs without turning exploration into a required checklist.
Fixed boss identities on specific early floorsBoss encounters should support replayability instead of making early floors identical every time.
Long cutscenes as the main story delivery methodStory should stay readable and quick enough to respect the pace of each run.
Unavoidable instant-punishment trapsHazards should create tension through readable pressure, not surprise failure.
