You're right Oddball, there is no harm in us commenting on Satellite Reign. Just no one ever really asked us before.
Satellite Reign has been a modest success for us. Going from literally nothing as a studio, funded by Kickstarter and successfully launching the game, receiving mostly postive reviews and funding us further to not only add Co-Op Multiplayer after launch but to fully fund our next game ourselves.
We can only thank our backers and people who bought the game to bring us where we are now. We're now swimming in money and buying islands and sports cars, our modest success just allows us to keep doing what we love, making games, while we support our families and basically live our lives.
That's by no means claiming SR is a perfect game, far from it. There's things we'd like to address and things we could have done a lot better. But at a certain point we have to step back a bit and concentrate on what comes next.
Our new project is something completely new, we spent some time looking into Satellite Reign sequels and spin-offs but for now they are on the backburner for various reasons. We have tons of ideas of where to take SR, but for now our new project is taking all our time and focus. I can't say definitively SR follow up will come next, as things may change. But if our next game is just as successful as SR was, a followup to SR will be one of the first things on the cards.
You're right we should be spending more time communicating with the community, but it's difficult to remember on a day-to-day basis. That's by no means an excuse, as it's not good enough. It's just we're a small team with our heads down, doing what we're best at, making games.
