Roadmap · where we stand
Built in the open
ShadyShizzle is in alpha. This is what's already in, what we're building now and what comes next. No dates: it's done when it's good.
In the alpha now
The whole world is open: over two hundred countries, more than seven thousand places and real neighbourhoods. You start with a day job, do street jobs at real places in your neighbourhood (a bike rack, a cash machine, a container quay) and walk or drive there through the night streets in 3D.
Jobs come with choices along the way, and can go wrong halfway. You pick trades and grow into them. Police, file and raids keep you honest; lawyers, judges and a good story keep you out of a cell, sometimes.
Already playable
- Street jobs with places on the map, limited per spot
- Ten careers and fifteen day jobs
- Justice: interrogation, court, jail, escapes
- Property, labs and laundering
- Contacts, markets per city, loads through ports
- Turf, NPC families, fights, clans, wars and cartels
- Reputation per place that travels with you
- Travel by bus, plane or your own jet
- Big cities with skylines, boulevards and a taxi
- Cars to buy or steal, and your own garage
- Group jobs with roles, crews and a split you agree on
- Laundering channels, and a tax office that asks questions
- Bosses with job chains and a long memory
- Your own headquarters, built up piece by piece
- A morning paper and a chronicle of every season
- A world that moves on its own: events and seasons
- An in-game handbook and a consigliere to ask
Building right now
Cities that look like where they are: winding village streets, old canal towns, big grids and towers in America. If a job is at a warehouse, you'll see a warehouse.
An empire you can actually run: buy existing buildings, build new ones in phases you can watch, hire ordinary staff, and set up an organisation with a legal side and a criminal side. Give people, players and NPCs alike, the rights to run jobs for you.
In the workshop
- A slower, fairer economy
- Staff, ranks and rights in your organisation
- One account on PC, phone and tablet
- Smoother first hours for new players
Next
Your own driver and people you can call. Short scenes at the moments that matter. Test builds for Android and iPad.
Then
- Your own driver and people on call
- Cut-scenes at key moments
- Android and iPad test builds
Later
Deeper layers we won't spoil. Some ranks you only see when you almost have them. Some tables don't have names. If you play quietly long enough, you'll notice doors you didn't see before.
