# 🔮 Lumber Tycoon — What's Coming Next
We've been getting a lot of questions about where the game is headed, so here's a look at what's on the table.
## 🛠️ In the Works
⚔️ Boss Fights & Boss Keys
Real encounters with real rewards. Boss Keys will be your ticket in — find them, save them up, and decide when to use them.
🎪 Events, Event Currency & the Black Market
Limited-time events that pay out their own currency, which you'll be able to spend at a Black Market vendor on things you can't get any other way. Miss an event, miss the goods.
✨ UI Polish & Animations
A pass over the whole interface — smoother transitions, proper feedback animations, and menus that feel good to use instead of just functional.
🐾 A New Way to See and Use Your Pets
We're reworking how pets are displayed and how you interact with them. More on this once it's further along, but it's a big change.
🔧 Quality of Life Updates
Ongoing. Lots of small things that add up — a lot of them coming straight from your feedback in this Discord.
## 🌫️ Further Out (Early Concept)
🏜️ Extreme Zones
Roguelike-style runs with that classic tycoon feeling — go in, push your luck, come out with something worth having. Still very early in concept, so nothing is locked in yet. But it's the direction we're most excited about.
## 💬 Want to Shape This?
None of this is set in stone. If you've got thoughts on any of it — or something you'd rather see first — tell us in the Discord. That's genuinely how a lot of this list got made.
Thanks for playing! 🌲
