Nope, no specific roadmap or timeline, but we did mention some things we're working on in the immediate future in this month's Neowsletter (some of which is already in the beta branch): store.steampowered.com/news/app/286...
The beta branch will see the most experimental changes and will be tweaked each time until we feel it’s stable enough for the main branch. Participating in that process is optional but very helpful. Thank you for your patience as we slowly mold StS2 into its final shape! (4/4)
This beta balance pass was the first of many to come over the next 1-2 years. The game will go through constant changes with the ultimate goal of making it as balanced of an experience as StS1 became. This progress will not be linear, and no change is necessarily permanent. (3/4)
We make changes based on a mix of player feedback, collected metrics, and our own design philosophies. While we look at feedback on many platforms, the feedback we receive via the in-game reporter from players who are testing the patch firsthand is the most useful to us. (2/4)
Hey everyone, we appreciate all the feedback on the recent beta patch! Since we have a lot of new players that weren’t around for StS1’s Early Access phase and players who are new to Early Access games in general, we wanted to explain our patching methodology a bit. (1/4)
Various new card portrait art assets.
The first BIG balance pass for Slay the Spire 2 is now out on the beta branch!! (Sorry infinite build lovers.)
It also includes a Phobia Mode, lots of bug & crash fixes, and some cool new art and VFX! 💫
