Unsupervised—Once, you were a sidekick. Now, you kick ass!

[MahatmaDagon]

Here’s what I said about it on the other thread:

@MahatmaDagon

What’s this about a DLC or a sequel? Do you hate us that much?

No! When I said that the game needs one or the other, here’s what I meant:

Unsupervised was originally going to have eleven chapters, and we followed the outline the best that we could, but we also stretched the content of each chapter by a lot and added a bunch of new things that weren’t planned. At some point last year it became clear that a single game wasn’t enough to do all plot points and characters justice. The recent Dune adaptation comes to mind: I think everybody agrees that it was best as a two-parter, rather than trying to fit everything in a single movie.

I don’t get it!

There’s like 80k words that didn’t make the first game, either because there was nowhere to fit those scenes or because they needed more work done. That itself already justifies an eventual DLC, but there’s a specific part that I’ve been wanting to write since before the game was even greenlit, and I want it to be as big as the scenes in Vera City (which are like, 3 chapters?)

So, again, it’s all speculation here, but I think:

1 - If there’s enough demand, there can be a full-fledged sequel, with a word count that justifies its existence.

2- Otherwise, there should be a DLC, and if the new content is just wrapping things up, I’ll be the first one pushing for it to be free.

But… yeah, I’m a sucker for cliffhangers.
