Summary
Schedule 1developer TVGS has shared new details on the game’s future, including a timeline for when the smash hit indie will likely receive a full release.Schedule 1may still be in its early access period, but the game has already become one of the most successful titles to release on Steam, peaking at over 400,000 concurrent players shortly after its release.
AsSchedule 1continues to be developed by a single person, fans have remained skeptical about what the future of the game could realistically look like with just one developer at the helm. However, in just one month, Tyler, the game’s creator, has already releasedmultiple updates forSchedule 1. While some of these updates addressed gameplay issues and bugs, others have already added new content and features to the title. The most recent patch was released over the Easter weekend, introducing a new feature that allows players to access an employee’s inventory by interacting with them.
Schedule 1’s Full Release Is Still Years Away
Earlier this week, Tyler hosted his first development live stream on Twitch, giving fans a glimpse into the ongoing development of the hit indie game. During the stream, Tyler revealed a myriad of details, includingwhatSchedule 1’s map expansion will look like. One of the many tidbits of information shared by the developer was that a full release is likely still two or three years away, which meansSchedule 1will remain in early access until then. The developer also noted that he hasn’t had much time to work on new content due to constant meetings, but with things now calming down, post-launch content should start to ramp up.
Given thehuge success ofSchedule 1, it’s no surprise that Tyler has been in and out of meetings. With hundreds of thousands of fans now eager for more content, Tyler has outlined what the game’s future holds. During the live stream, the developer stated that he is currently working on a new purchasable location, while also revealing that he would like to add more lore to the game and that Uncle Nelson will play a bigger role in the future, hinting at a potential story expansion.
Unlike other indie games and triple-a titles,Schedule 1is developed solely by Tyler. However, the dev is now working on employing a community manager, an artist, and a quality assurance tester to aid in the development ofSchedule 1. With so much planned for the game’s future, it seemed inevitable that Tyler would face no other option but to bring more developers on board. While it is massively impressive to see one person create such an outstanding game, having more developers means more content should be released at a much faster rate.
While Tyler is currently working on adding a new location to the game, he has also revealed that fans will be able tovote between three options for the first majorSchedule 1content update.It’s unclear when the update will be released, but fans will have the option to choose between police raids, cartel wars, or shrooms—a new drug type.
