MINERAL ROADMAP
Introduction
We want to be transparent and open with the development and future of Mineral (we will do the same with all Xitol games). We are a small team and we designed Mineral to be a complete game, but that hasn’t stopped us having ideas on how to expand Mineral, as well as acting on feedback from those around us.
This roadmap is how we are breaking down the development to expand Mineral into a larger game, both with free updates and paid DLC packs.
Items listed in Green have been met.
Items listed in Orange are in-progress.
Items listed in Purple are planned for future development, and not yet in-progress.

Summary
We hope you appreciate our transparency and plan for our roadmap, each DLC is built on ideas we have been suggested or have had ourselves since Mineral Launched. We haven’t cut anything back to sell at a later point, and each DLC will include content at least 1/2 the size of the core game. We had to split it up to release it in manageable sizes, and it to be fairly priced.
We shall update this page with any changes, including showing Prices of DLC content as it is finalised. We will also preserve our original roadmap to show and explain changes.
