Weren't the first two DLC (Project Laika and Green Planet) the only ones made by the original devs anyway, plus some extra music and the like? I know the half (or more) broken ones like the tunnels came out after a significant gap.

An update on something besides late-game content I'll never get to see? What's this world coming to?

Pass. I'm not interested in buying the same game all over again, just for a few tweaks and a bound to be frustrating politics system. All the more since it looks like they're not tweaking the DLC, one of which was irrelevant (Laika), one tedious toward the end (Green Planet), and the rest had negative reviews.

I usually don't like the visual novel format, but this does look pretty fun.

We partner. We amplify.
We conquer.

That's...one hell of a slogan there.

This game looks interesting, but being published by Paradox Arc (a division of Paradox Interactive) is a no-go for me, taking into account what they did with the game Across the Obelisk - it started as a game published by Paradox Arc and later it got integrated with Paradox Interactive and since then the game have tons of DLCs (just like all major games under the Paradox Interactive umbrella). No biggie though, since we have lots of other great games to play nowadays.

As far as I'm aware this is a solo dev who has their hands full just getting the base game finished. So unless something radically changes I wouldn't expect much in the line of DLC at all, besides the art book and soundtrack which seem pretty innocuous.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I was attracted to Stardeus because of the original setting of post-disaster and having to pick up the pieces, but the game's really kinda left that behind in a lot of ways now.

Still, I should try it again sometime soon and check out all the new systems.

Be prepared to fight a million dogs in the new combat engine, most of which are hiding behind bushes and light poles.

And five more! This time with Proton!

OFF Prologue (Steam Play): What can I say? A surreal classic that's inspired a wealth of other games, most notably Undertale/Deltarune. The story of The Batter and his holy mission to purify the land, and the weird things he encounters along the way. The demo is basically the tutorial and Zone 1, so a decent amount of content. And did I mention the music is ridiculously good? Recommended.

A Game About Cutting a Tree (Steam Play): Just what it says on the tin. If you've seen A Game About Digging a Hole, it's basically a knockoff of that (different dev so assume shovelware). I assume by the end you're eaten by beavers or something. Runs okay, but not great. No FoV settings so I could only play it for a very short time before I started feeling it, so that's the end of that.

Growmancer (Steam Play): Kind of an incremental game, but not about automation. You play as this Groot-lookin' dude running around a desert, and grass springs up where you walk. The trick is you have to run over it a second time to turn the grass green, which in turn spawns flowers. Green grass and various kinds of flowers becomes your currency, and all the upgrades revolve around becoming better at growing stuff. Very short ~40 second runs, with upgrades that add fractions of a second onto that total. Recommended but it does get a bit old so restrict it to short playtimes.

MIO: Memories in Orbit (Steam Play): This one's really good. An action platformer where you play this tiny android exploring a gigantic spacecraft in ruins. Very Hollow Knight vibes in the sense that your opponents are other bots gone mad, but the style veers off in a much different direction of grandeur gone to ruin. The intro sequence is stylish as hell, and the attention to detail in environments and animations is amazing. Highly recommended.

Isles & Tiles (Steam Play): Puzzle/City Builder where you draw cards that have a variety of resource costs to construct buildings, and create the land to put them on as well. Pretty frustrating early on because it's hard to get your industry running due to not having the resources that industry is meant to create. Also got a BAD case of that Unity jank, so be prepared for that. There's the bones of a good game in here, just needs a few tweaks here and there.
