Roadmaps and Mindmaps

When thinking about the video game(s) there are so many tasks, goals and milestones.

I have been thinking about Roadmaps and how to visually show that. I am not sure I want it to be a image, but rather a some kind of horizontal/linear tracking that can be updated either though markdown or via git. What is nice about GitHub projects is that I can implement Kanban and Roadmaps.

But the one thing about Roadmaps, is that they are not mindmaps. I really like the flexibility of mindmaps for tasks, and how they organize themselves visually. When one task or goal is complete, you just delete the item, which doesn’t lend to tracking very well of progress.

What I really want to convey from a visual roadmap, or even a mindmap of the roadmap is summed up from this Reddit post:

A roadmap does not have to tell the player everything that’s coming to the game or when. It can, however, tell us what to EXPECT from the developer and gives us an idea on what they’re working on.

So I am just not sure where that will live. I think having it in Github will allow me to track changers to content and code easier with Godot… but also connect it to milestones/tasks in a Roadmap. However, the Mindmap is better suited for Goals… and could be more public facing.

So I think it will be a hybrid approach.
