In this meta article I will attempt to keep a semi-regularly updated roadmap of planned content and updates for Rosepetal.
Any and all timeframes are approximates that can and will change at any moment. As my IRL is still very demanding of me I can't really work with absolute timeframes and hard deadlines. And Rosepetal is a hobby project that I work on during my spare time.
"I've set up a BlueSky account, but still struggle to use social media consistently.
Your best bet for consistent updates is to follow this world or me, and keep an eye out on the discord community."

Start A Reading Journal
March, 2024
My reading list is overflowing with awesome articles that I haven't had the time and energy to go through yet. An idea I had was to do it bit by bit in a weekly journal series.
Add Visuals
March, 2024
In order to break up long texts, I should spend more time finding visual elements. As I'm still struggling to draw much of anything myself, this will likely have to be a combination of smart container use and imagery from free/open sources.
Finish Article(s): Meta Resource
March, 2024
Time to give all awesome community-written resources a better home than my chaotic reading list. I thought I could combine it together with a general resources article to list a wide array of nice apps and reads I've found across the internet.
Navigation v2.0
May, 2024
After finishing setting up all categories and index articles, fixing tags and variables, and maybe filling out at least some basic stubs, time to finalize a realiable navigation system.
CSS Theme v2.1
May, 2024
Complete the rest of the components for a complete theme overhaul.
Embrace Stubs
June, 2024
I will likely end up creating a lot of them in order to get the base concepts on paper regardless of how many or few words it takes. They would also help to better visualize how categorization and navigation will work.

Finished Galactic History v1.0
February, 2025
Finish the first draft of Rosepetal's Galactic History timeline. It feels like I need it to get a better grip on the scope of time.[
Article(s): Short Stories
February, 2025
This will likely first take the form of reading through and polishing some older works, and share them here on WorldAnvil. I've also had some ideas for shorter stories or vignettes to give a bit of look into the lives of various people in Rosepetal.
Plan A Novel
June, 2025+
My long-time dream of becoming an author has begun to awaken again, but realistically, I'm still a long way from being ready to take on a serious writing project for long-form fiction.
What an organized plan of attack! Can't wait to see the revised articles that you share this month. <3
If any of them get a significant update I'll share for sure! :)
