Whether you’ve already beaten Schedule 1 or are just wondering what the future of this hit indie drug crime sim is before you pay for it, we’ve got its roadmap laid out for you.
After being available as a free version on Steam for months, Schedule 1 has finally launched into early access. Set in the crime-driven city of Hyland Point, this game introduces you to the business of drug making and peddling and lets you use profits to build your portfolio and worth in the long run. While it’s pretty rich in content, you may wonder if a solo developer like TVGS plans to expand beyond the base game. Considering its $20 price tag, the answer’s evidently yes. But what is TVGS’s exact plan?
Well, we don’t really have a solid roadmap for Schedule 1 so far, but TVGS has revealed some crucial information about what’s coming in the future. Here’s everything you need to know.
All new content and changes coming to Schedule 1
TVGS plans to keep Schedule 1 in early access for two years before releasing a final version. All this time, the developer will keep track of community feedback and reports to improve the existing experience, which includes “a rich open world with several drugs to manufacture and distribute.” With the profit you make from drugs, you can purchase over 10 properties and businesses and establish your empire.
At the time of writing, you can recruit employees—suppliers, workers, and dealers—to help you expand. Different kinds of vehicles, valuables, clothing, and weapons are also purchasable. Besides this, you can experience co-op with up to three friends(four in a lobby) or just fly solo.
As the development progresses, TVGS plans to add the following features to Schedule 1:
- A significant expansion of the map
- Several more drugs and production processes
- A larger customer and supplier network
- More fun things to spend your hard-earned profits on
TVGS promises to deploy substantial content updates for Schedule 1 every month, so get ready to explore new stuff and challenges as soon as you’re done with the old. The game’s base price will increase by 25 to 50 percent after its final release, which is an indication of the scale of the upcoming updates.
Schedule 1 is currently available at $16.99 (15 percent off) on Steam due to an introductory offer, which is available till March 31. After that, it’ll return to $20, so we recommend getting it now.
We’ll update this story when TVGS releases a structured roadmap for Schedule 1.
