Roadmap
The Stride game engine (MIT) is a collaborative endeavor managed by a small group of core volunteer developers, each with expertise in different areas of development. There are no full-time developers solely focused on Stride's advancement; instead, the engine progresses through the voluntary contributions of both the core team and the wider community. These individuals dedicate their spare time to enhance and expand the engine, driven by personal interest, passion for the project, or their areas of expertise.
Contributors
Contributions to Stride come in various forms. Some contributors focus on addressing existing issues to improve stability and usability. Others explore new features or improvements they find valuable, intriguing, or hold expertise in.
Community Roadmap
The community has highlighted a range of feature requests, some of which are quite extensive and of an epic nature, requiring a long-term commitment from developers to complete. These larger goals form a "Community Roadmap" of sorts, reflecting the volunteer-driven nature of Stride's development process.
You can view the current list of feature requests, to-dos, and in-progress tasks on the Community Roadmap.
Open Collective
Because all contributions to Stride are voluntary, the pace of development largely depends on each contributor’s personal bandwidth and interests. To help prioritize or incentivize certain features, Stride maintains bounties through the Open Collective. These bounties encourage and reward contributors for tackling specific community requests.
