Development Roadmap


Welcome to Light-Space Love’s development roadmap!

This is a public, living outline laying out the roadmap for the creation of Light-Space Love from start to finish. Since this is a living document, that means this document is subject to change as development progresses; this just serves as a general idea to give an idea of our plans for this game  – while trying to avoid spoilers! 

This document also doesn’t include all of the content that is planned for each release. For example, each mission release will include a new planet/station, new lewd events, new characters and a new fully playable game over scene – and mission releases will be broken up into multiple releases.

If you wish to join our testing efforts, you can sign up here.

Is there a list of planned romantic partners for Linessa to invite in rest areas that has been made public? I'm curious to know who we might be seeing again in the future!

And is there any chance that the alternate outfits (bunny, trial of piety, martial arts, etc.) ever become available for our use during exploration outside of the mini-games?

Are the futa side missions out of the plans?

At the moment they're postponed, the artist I was working with for this section has been MIA for a while, so I'll be moving it further down the timeline until I either get in contact with them again or get a new artist to finish the section.

Just found this game and I am already a massive fan of it and really looking forward to some of these future developments, good luck on everything!

Thanks glad to hear youre enjoying it!
