Roadmap
Development roadmap for Where Ravens Wait: Eternal Reckoning
Development Status
Where Ravens Wait: Eternal Reckoning is in early development. The current focus is defining the game’s world, player journey, companion model, and first playable experiences while the Yggdrasil World Engine foundation continues to mature in parallel.
Current Focus
- World identity and setting — Establishing the mythic world, its tone, and the player’s place in it
- Core lore foundation — Defining cosmology, bloodline memory, companion presence, factions, and narrative threads players will discover.
- Player experience design — Shaping exploration, discovery, consequence, perception, and transformation.
- Quest and progression direction — Defining how generated quest lines, player identity, and world response evolve from meaningful choices.
Playable Milestones
- Ravenfall Gate vertical slice — A self-contained gameplay experience demonstrating exploration, choice, companion presence, and consequence.
- Raven Companion foundation — Persistent witness, guidance, scouting, memory, and player-bound companion state.
- Conditional wolf manifestation system — White Wolf and Dark Wolf appearances governed by quest, resonance, threshold, combat, vision, and branch-reality conditions.
- Quest generation showcase — Demonstrating quests that respond to player actions, location state, and worldstate evidence.
- Perception-layer divergence — The same world seen differently based on player state, branch context, and attunement.
Content and World Goals
- World lore milestones — Mythic history, faction identities, and the cosmological setting players explore
- Quest experience goals — Emergent quest lines that feel personal, consequential, and never the same twice
- Mythic identity system — Your character’s growing legend, shaped by your actions and the world’s response
- Replayability through emergence — No two playthroughs follow the same path, ever
