2022 Hextory roadmap

Posted on Edited on In

Apart from the monthly development report for patrons, I think that it could be very interesting to show a public roadmap of the game progress on the concept, design and development phases. So you can check the Board with the public roadmap at this page: Hextory public roadmap.

If you have any questions or comments about items on the roadmap, you can share them via Github Hextory discussions.

The two options I considered were Trello y Github Issues, so let’s talk a bit about these tools.

Trello or Github Issues

As you can see, if you have visited the page that contains the Roadmap, I have chosen to use Github Issues to show the project Roadmap and get direct feedback. The goal is to show the workflow in the form of the typical board used in agile methodologies.

You can see a super complete example of the public Roadmap from Github itself: Github public roadmap. This is the roadmap that I will take as an example to create the Hextory roadmap.

The main reason for choosing Github Issues over Trello is that I’ll be using Github to host the game code repositories. Therefore, it is a plus to be able to have everything integrated in the same place. On the other hand, it is no longer possible in Trello to allow comments to be added to the cards, which greatly limits communication by people who support the project.

If you work with Bitbucket to manage your code repositories, I would recommend Trello, since Bitbucket and Trello are integrated. An example of Trello being used as a public roadmap board is as follows: Arkius.

From the template system of this tool you can find other examples that can better suit your needs. In my case, the two templates I liked the most are the following:
