Roadmap

Parallax is moving fast. We're building the creative studio that game developers actually want — one where the AI does the heavy lifting so you can focus on making something great. This page tracks what we've shipped, what's in progress, and where we're headed.

• Parallax web interface — build and play in the browser, no install needed

Infrastructure

Now — May / June 2026

Active development. These are shipping this quarter.

• Asset browser — browse, preview, and drag images and audio into prompts from the dashboard
• Native app packaging — one-click Windows and macOS builds from your project
• Auto-download for desktop builds — macOS and Windows build files offered for download automatically after export
• Automatic test generation — the agent proposes unit tests for game logic using busted
• GitHub integration — import from a repo, commit changes, and push — without leaving Parallax
• Thread and brainstorm persistence — conversations and ideas saved to .parallax inside your project folder
• Font fetcher — pull open-source fonts by name directly into your project
• UI copy pass — trim excess text across the interface for a cleaner, faster feel
• Footer link fixes — all footer links audited and corrected

Next — Q3 2026

Designed and scoped. Work begins after the current sprint.

• AI graphic asset generation — generate placeholder sprites and UI elements from a description using the MiniMax image API, swap for final art later
• AI audio generation — generate sound effects and music from a text prompt
• Multiplayer scaffolding — agent-assisted setup for Love2D's UDP socket API
• Version history — snapshot your project at any point and roll back
• Headless browser search — the agent can look things up on the web mid-session
• Player profile page — public profile, game portfolio, and play history
• Published games directory — browse all games on the platform with pagination and tag filtering
• Game page wrapper — every published game gets a share button, play count, and a community star rating
• Context7 wiki integration — Parallax docs indexed in Context7 so any AI agent or IDE can pull accurate, up-to-date platform knowledge on demand
• Export: macOS and Windows — bundle your game into a native app for distribution

Later — Q4 2026 and Beyond

On the horizon. Order may shift based on community votes and technical dependencies.

• Export: Android and iOS — mobile builds from your Parallax project
• itch.io publish integration — push your game to your itch.io page directly from Parallax
• Agent memory across projects — carry character archetypes, physics rules, and code conventions between games
• Collaborative editing — two developers, one agent session
• Studio billing and subscriptions — usage-based and team plans, billing dashboard, and invoices
• Team workspace — shared projects, roles, and permissions for small studios
• Analytics dashboard — player sessions, retention, and engagement for published games
• Asset marketplace — browse and import community-made sprites, audio, and prefabs

Coming Soon: The Parallax YouTube Channel

We're launching a YouTube channel with tutorials, devlogs, and build-alongs — showing exactly how to go from idea to playable game using Parallax. Subscribe link coming soon.

How We Prioritise

1. MVP first — vibe coding, the agent loop, and the core brainstorm-to-game flow
2. Community votes — feature requests on Discord carry real weight
3. Technical dependency — some things have to come before others
