Dev Roadmap
This is what's currently on the dev roadmap in written form.
Disclaimer: This list is tentative and subject to change. (I get new feature requests pretty frequently!)
Version 4.1.1 Mini-Update:
Custom Content (Oct 2023-Feb 2024)
Bugfixes
Version 5: SDA's Final Chapter
Vigilant Quest Commentary (External Patch)
The highly anticipated mod support for Vigilant will have hundreds of lines in dialogue, with Serana commenting on the entire Vigilant epic. This will be an external patch and not built into the mod, though this commentary will be highly recommended to experience - as it is fully relevant to Serana's character.
Full commentary support for each of Skyrim's vanilla Daedric quests, to be done in three parts. The second of which will be Part II, this update. This part will include:
The Break of Dawn
The Taste of Death
The Only Cure
Discerning the Transmundane
The Mind of Madness
Waking Nightmare
Ill Met By Moonlight
The Cursed Tribe
Pieces of the Past
The Whispering Door
Expansions of commentary awareness to existing daedric quests. These are but not limited to: rewrites, new dialogue during quests, or commentary on the daedric artifact quest rewards.
Expansive Romance Rewrites
Hearthfires Children Interactions
College of Winterhold NPC Banter
Ashe Follower Banter
Celine Follower Banter
Daegon Follower Banter
New Batch of Custom Names + Conversations
Custom Names integration during Dawnguard and quest commentary.
Bugfixes
Stuff That's Eventually Planned
Important Note: Due to SDA development ending, I may not be able to get to many of these requests. Once the V5.0 changelog is finalized, this section (along with the relevant channels on Discord) will be independently closed.

- Serana's Custom Home (Standalone Mod)
Similar to what I did with Trueblood, this will be a standalone and optional, but officially-sponsored and "canon" mod to the whole SDA experience. Serana will have a custom home that you can build with her, Hearthfires-style. SDA will likewise have commentary on this, which will be extensive and to a much more immersive extent than the general house commentary (both vanilla and modded) seeing that this is the "canon" house for Serana.
WIP Collaborations
Lucien Banter
Ashe Banter
Daegon Banter
Gore Banter
Kaidan Banter
Eris (from Light and Shade) Banter
There Is No Umbra
Skyrim EC support
Small note on awareness vs. banter: The former means that Serana can comment on said follower being in the party, but banter is a step forward with actual conversations taking place between NPCs. Banter is always preferred, but not all follower mod authors or VAs are still active in the community. Dialogue splicing is still possible (take Sofia and Inigo banter for instance) but it is very time-consuming and limiting for scriptwriting. I prefer not to do that, but there can be exceptions.
