Paizo CEO Lisa Stevens has written an extensive letter to update backers and the Pathfinder Online community about the future of the game. After an independent analysis, it was determined that the game needs to find its niche but that it would be unlikely that any major player on the MMO scene would be interested in finishing development. As a result, Paizo has decided to move forward on its own to try to complete the game within next year.
The letter continues with the news that a roadmap for the most crucial features has been released that includes Territorial Control, opt-in PvP, more content, AI imrovements and much more. These changes will be implemented on the month to month basis as detailed in the roadmap.
To be perfectly upfront, we are going to have a very small team working on these features. Cole and Bob are onboard along with myself to bring these across the finish line. Because we have this small, scrappy team, we aren’t aiming to compete with the AAA MMOs of the world. Rather, we will be more of an indie MMO aiming at providing a fun and engaging game to a more niche market.
You can find the full text of the newsletter as well as the roadmap itself by visiting the Pathfinder Online site.
