Roadmap

What we are building.

Towards the Minimum Lovable Product

What matters when building a product is that users enjoy it from its very first version — and that each iteration stands on its own.

That's why, rather than talking about an MVP, we talk about an MLP: a product good enough to be appreciated as-is.

Even though we'd love to eventually become a full-fledged board game platform for everyone, our immediate goal is more focused: ship one game, Yacht Dice, and make it work flawlessly.

  • Rules enforced by the application — the app ensures the real game rules are respected
  • An immersive 3D view and a complete 2D view
  • A ΚΛΣ ranking system for every player, displayed on the homepage
  • Players can create up to 3 concurrent games (no new game until existing ones are finished)
  • Infrastructure scaled for ~1,000 players

ΚΛΣ (KLS — Kléos, κλέος): "heroic glory" — the renown earned through one's deeds. Our skill rating, powered by the OpenSkill system.

π, α, β, γ

Every module and game on Gods Academy has a specific production status:

π
Pi — Pre-alpha: highly unstable and uncertain. Everything is still subject to change.
α
Alpha: it works… but it's incomplete, buggy, and its design choices aren't finalized yet.
β
Beta: decisions are made, it works, and it's undergoing community-driven debugging.
γ
Gamma: stable, with a long bug-free track record, satisfying 80% of users.

Gods Academy will be declared MLP once these six modules reach β:

  • Sign-up / Authentication
  • Game room lobby
  • Yacht Dice
  • ΚΛΣ calculation for Yacht Dice
  • ΚΛΣ tracking in user settings
  • Display of top community ΚΛΣ rankings on the homepage

This way, everyone can compete against others — or against themselves — and try to become the best at Yacht Dice, or simply enjoy a truly fun gaming experience.

What's Next?

Once the MLP is reached, here's what we have in sight:

  • User settings and customization
  • Player communication — through animated in-game emojis at first
  • AI opponents matched to the player's ΚΛΣ
  • Abandoned seat replacement by an AI of equivalent ΚΛΣ
