AIRLOCK · Development Roadmap

// Stage 02 · Foundation

The World Built First

DECLASSIFIED

Documentation, lore, audio direction, visual identity. Locked before code touched it. Every system built since references this foundation.

CLEAR

02.01

Documentation & Lore

Ashgate. The Altered (Feral, Familiars, Stalkers, Legion). The Settlers, 14 distinct classes. The post-war UGA. The Sonic War 300 years ago. The Legion reveal arc. Multi-airlock metro network.

Confluence dossier of every faction, every settler class, every place name, every story beat. The Sonic War. The collapse of the UGA. The Legion arc. Memory locked into a single source of truth before a single line of gameplay code went in.

// EXPANDED FILE

CLEAR

02.02

Audio Direction

TLOU + Days Gone reference lock. Hans Zimmer for the orchestral spine. "Calm Before The Storm" written and scored. Diegetic SFX rules. Submix routing. Sonic identity locked before any major audio shipped.

Reference docs locked: TLOU + TLOU Part II + Days Gone for SFX. Hans Zimmer's emotional register for score. 'Calm Before The Storm' written, scored, performed, the spine the trailer will eventually be cut to.

// EXPANDED FILE

CLEAR

02.03

UI Art Direction

After 20+ HUD variations across 10 style directions, the painted concept art aesthetic was locked. Cormorant Garamond. Permanent Marker labels. Brushstroke buttons. Ink-wash backings. Cream on near-black.

Twenty-plus HUD variations across ten distinct directions, side-by-side mockups, ruthless elimination. The painted concept-art aesthetic survived. Cream sumi-ink on near-black. Hand-made energy. Nothing else came close.

CLEAR

02.04

Painted Icon Library

91 painted monochrome icons delivered. Survival bars, status effects, weapons, consumables, loot, HUD chrome, banners, structural frames, screen overlays, map pins, Settler activities, skill tree parents.

Ninety-one painted icons in a single sprite sheet. Cream monochrome masters. CSS-tinted at runtime. Survival bars, weapons, status effects, map pins, the whole UI vocabulary in one consistent painted hand.

// Stage 03 · Pre-Production · Architecture

The Engine of Everything

DECLASSIFIED

The C++ backbone. Grid system, modules, AI, HUD, combat, mining, skills, MetaHumans, the Marv companion. Every system the game depends on.

CLEAR

03.01

Grid System

GridManager in C++ from scratch. World-to-grid coordinate conversion, cell states, multi-floor support. The system everything else builds on top of.

GridManager from blank file. Multi-floor support designed in from day one. World-to-grid coordinate conversion. Cell occupancy tracking. The bedrock everything else stands on.

CLEAR

03.02

Character

ALS taken apart and rebuilt for AIRLOCK. Custom movement feel, camera behaviour, transitions between underground and surface. One controller, two very different feels.

ALS V4 dismantled and rewired for AIRLOCK. Custom rotation modes. Stance changes. Crouch flow. The character feels heavy underground and alert above. Two worlds, one pawn.

// EXPANDED FILE

CLEAR

03.03

UI System

Full main menu system from scratch. Epilepsy warning, brightness calibration, press-any-key splash, all sub-screens and settings.

Main menu shell, settings, accessibility, brightness calibration, epilepsy warning, press-any-key splash. Every screen on the path from boot to gameplay built from the painted style guide.

CLEAR

03.04

HUD System

In-game HUD: health, stamina, compass, status effects, notifications. Full inventory system, equip, fire, swap, drop, pick up. Items degrade.

Compass, vitals, status effects, notifications, weapon ammo, day-time clock, modular sub-widgets feeding off a single HUD State Component. Add a new screen, it just plugs in. No legacy spaghetti.

// EXPANDED FILE

CLEAR

03.05

Combat

Weapons you can equip, fire, and feel. Ranged + melee. Every weapon degrades. Ammunition is scarce. Combat designed to feel desperate, not heroic.

Weapons that degrade. Ammo that runs out. M4 Carbine, Glock, the demo loadout. Every shot is a trade. Combat designed to feel desperate, not heroic.

CLEAR

03.06

Module System

Module system fully integrated. 14+ categories. Place, move, remove. Architecture mid-development transition from Blueprints to Level Instance modules, the speed-of-authoring unlock.

Ghost placement, snap-to-grid, collision check, neighbour-aware wall toggling, save/load round-trip. Then the big architectural pivot mid-flight: monolithic Blueprints out, Level Instance modules in. Speed of authoring x10.

CLEAR

03.07

Horde System

Optimised horde, large numbers of The Altered without tanking performance. Spawn, detection, navigation, swarming. They hunt. They overwhelm. Daytime tense. Night deadly.

Days-Gone-style horde architecture. Hundreds of Altered chasing one player without tanking the framerate. Spawn manager, perception, navigation. They hunt. They overwhelm. Daytime tense, night deadly.

CLEAR

03.08

Loot

Lootable items scattered through ruined buildings. Food, weapons, medicine, blueprints, raw materials. Every surface trip is a risk-reward calculation.

Cabinets. Drawers. Lockers. Every container a hand-stocked moment of risk-reward. Food, weapons, blueprints, raw materials. The reason every surface trip means something.

// EXPANDED FILE

CLEAR

03.09

MetaHuman

ALS mannequin replaced with a fully assembled MetaHuman. Realistic face, hair, skin, expressions. The foundation for cutscenes and characters you care about.

ALS mannequin retired. MetaHuman in. Real face, real hair, real subsurface scattering. The foundation for every cutscene moment that has to land emotionally, not just animations playing on a doll.

CLEAR

03.10

Marv (Companion)

Marv follows you. Engages enemies. Sniffs out hidden loot. Reacts to danger. Sit system, full locomotion, pose rules. Personality. Moods. Memory.

Marv has moods. He sniffs. He sits. He chases. He has poses that lock when the player moves. He's not a turret on legs, he's a dog you start to worry about.

CLEAR

03.11

Tier System

Five visual and functional tiers per module: Cave, Structured Cave, Brick + Wood, Concrete + Tile, Metal Sci-fi. Each upgrade visible and earned.

Cave → Structured Cave → Brick + Wood → Concrete + Tile → Metal Sci-Fi. Every upgrade re-skins a module visually and functionally. You see the progress when you walk past it.

// EXPANDED FILE

CLEAR

03.12

Mining & Interact

Universal Press-to-Interact framework. Doors, loot, NPCs, ore nodes, terminals. Platform-aware icons (KB / Xbox / PlayStation). Mining loop integrates with grid depth, deeper = rarer ores.

One framework for every interactable in the game. Press, hold, contextual prompt, platform-aware glyph (KB/Xbox/PS). Mining ties into grid depth, deeper rooms surface rarer ore.

// EXPANDED FILE

CLEAR

03.13

Skill System

Shared skill tree between player and Settlers. 17 parent categories, 130+ sub-skills, 8 tiers × 10 sub-levels. Pistols, cooking, brewing, husbandry, alchemy, fishing, tailoring, medical, more.

Seventeen parent skill categories. A hundred and thirty plus sub-skills. Eight tiers, ten sub-levels each. Player and Settlers share the tree. XP propagates across related skills. Built for hundreds of hours of progression.

The Demo Comes Alive

PARTIALLY DECLASSIFIED

CLEAR

04.01

NPC Foundation

C++ backbone for every NPC. 9-state behaviour machine. 7-faction team system. Component stack for brains, combat, injury, tasking, dialogue. Every Settler, enemy, wildlife slots in cleanly.

Painted HUD

Painted concept art direction landed in engine. Cream sumi-ink on near-black. Cormorant Garamond + Permanent Marker. Ink-wash backings. Module padlocks. Auto-flashlight that engages in the dark.

Painted sumi-ink HUD landed in engine. Inventory, build menu, compass, notifications, skill XP popups, every panel rebuilt on the painted style. Module padlocks. Auto-flashlight that engages when night falls or the lights die.

CLEAR

04.04

Survival Stats

Stamina, hunger (28 days to zero), thirst (48 hours to zero), stress, morale. The body keeps score. Manage them or fall.

Ultra Dynamic Sky drives every timer. Hunger drains over twenty-eight in-game days. Thirst over forty-eight hours. Stress and morale react to the base around you. The body keeps score.

04.05

Day & Time Cycle

Fully dynamic day-night. 45 real-world minutes = 1 in-game day. Ultra Dynamic Sky drives every time-aware system. Toxic night queued.

Forty-five real minutes per in-game day. Sky shifts, lighting reacts, NPCs change schedule. Toxic night queued. Going to the surface after dark will not be optional, it will be a calculation.

CLEAR

04.06

Power & Electricity

Generators with green/amber/red status LEDs. Multi-generator networks. 5-second overload trip. Powered lights and ambient emitters subscribe by ID. Auto-flashlight engages in the dark.
