Roadmap
Plans have updated extensively since the first edition of our roadmap (released on the first week of the project).

- Genre-Integrated Gaming Metaverse: Incorporate and seamlessly connect various gaming genres (FPS, RPG, tower defense, etc.) through economic cause and effect, item cross-compatibility, and shared narrative elements. Each game with different style, but all follow the lore, theme, locations, and history of Warp Nexus.
