The Roadmap

Hey everyone, Hope you've been enjoying some of the anniversary updates, we've loved seeing your creative profiles and we can't wait to bring more life to them in the future 🐠 We've got a few more tricks in the updates bag, but we need a liiittle more time getting things ready, so I'm here today to announce the roadmap for the coming days, and weeks. Without further ado, here is the Oct/Nov 2026 Roadmap for Kovaze! --------------- • Account Level, Missions, & Achievements When the site launched, flames were intended to be the symbol of progress. Flames have since become a cosmetic feature, so we're introducing levels to the website. Gain XP by completing daily/weekly missions, through games, or just through regular use of the site. This will level up your account, unlocking new prizes (and new features around the site!). Don't worry, you'll keep your current +ing power :). Achievements will also be coming, so you can show off on your profile that you're a 200-time Race Winner, or a 500k-in-sales shop owner! Expect these to drop this week. • Avatar Presets Saved avatar presets will be released with the Account Levels update. Preset slots will be unlockable by levelling up your account! • [NEW SLOW GAME] The Carnival I'm very pleased to announce that The Carnival will be arriving to Kovaze as its newest slow game. It's coming very soon, so I won't spoil much until the time is right, but you can expect a game that you can play with ALL of your friends (or by yourself, it'll be a great way to meet new people!), where every time you play will be a new, crazy experience. This game will not be comp-heavy (if that's more your style, keep reading the blog). It's going to be spooky, kooky, and crazy as hell. October truly is upon us! 👻 • Halloween Event/Shop The Halloween Event will commence later this week - if you enjoyed our Easter Event, you're going to love this one! Expect another dedicated announcement on this in the coming days. But remember one thing - Kovaze takes Halloween very seriously 👻🎃🍬 • [NEW FAST GAME] Takeover This has secretly been in development for a month now, and the reviews so far have been very positive. It's going to be a fast-paced and extremely thrilling game. No freezes, no waiting for others to play - just pure adrenaline for 20 minutes. We're focusing on keeping queue times short so you can finish a game and start a new one within 5 minutes, no matter the time of day. This game will also feature a matchmaking queue (and potentially a ranked system) to ensure you play against similar skill levels, that way non-comp beasts can also enjoy this just as much! This will be one of the later releases on this list, but a lot of work is being put into it and it will be worth the wait! • Game Show Host Now that we have the Game Show room, we'll be getting a game show host to throw some game shows on a scheduled program. Stay tuned for an announcement from them. Can you guess who they are? • Rooms Rooms will be deprecated in favour of a new feature that serves the same purpose but does it much better. Users who purchased furniture will be refunded. Rooms may come back sometime in the future, but our focus is now on an even better idea currently being designed. • Race Tournament 3 It has been 6 months since AngieKStan and her team took home the trophy at the last tourney, which means the 3rd Biannual Race Tournament is almost upon us! Remember to sharpen those race skills, the Race Tourney never ends! We'll be looking for a team of volunteers like we did last time - stay tuned for a blog from myself or the events team on that. I've got a couple more things in the early works for a November release, including an idea born out of that site-wide discussion on Boutiques we had a month ago. I'll update you all when development on that starts moving along. You'll hear from me a lot in the coming days/weeks! Sin
