Post release content

Nautical_Nick

so as SN reaches its final stages I started to wonder. Do people actually want to see more content released after the actual release.

Too early to really be discussing this IMO, but I'm all for additional content - paid DLC or otherwise. Why wouldn't they continue it a bit? Expand the world horizontally instead of just vertically....

Maybe you return to the planet for some reason.... Some important reason....

I'd be down for it, but don't think the game requires it.

It'd be fun to try to dodge the BFG guarding the planet, too. Or think of another way to sneak in. Or something.

Had an idea not for a DLC, but a separate game entirely.

I like it! Sounds like something for SN 2!

There are several post-1.0 things listed on the roadmap that I really would like to see added (jetpack! jetpack! jetpack!), plus I do feel the game could do with a little more detailing in the basebuilding department. I'm not interested in a "several years later" scenario all that much myself - I want enhancement of the current gameplay, kinda like RoG (minus the summer blunder) did for Don't Starve.

And yes, if there's a financial picture for UWE to consider I am readily willing to pay extra for that. It's not like I don't think the game as is is already well worth more than $20.
