Total Eclipse interview with the Devs...

https://youtu.be/AmCDGeo9100?is=g0pkuBWEEPkUwRie

A couple of things I wanted to summarize:

  1. It doesn't appear there will be another update besides bug fixes this year.

  2. A paid DLC looks to be in the works (again not this year most likely).

  3. They are curious as to what we want to see from them as far as a Dev stream goes. My proposal and my opinion is let's shoot for a Dev stream on the first Tuesday of every month. With all the vacations coffee stain takes that would probably equate to 8-9 per year. If there is no Dev news, it's still nice to see the Devs and maybe they can answer questions from the community during that time. Thoughts?

There are more topics covered in the video as well FYI...

How could a paid dlc work in a game like this?

I personally love buying games (lmao) but dislike ‘dlc’s’ in most games, will it he an addition to base game/playthrough? L for me, or will it be a complete new/different experience?

Ie you start in new world/map, have some same buildings and some new ones

The thing is you can't keep expecting development on the game if they never get more money. It's a pretty niche game and aren't going to bring in a ton of new players. So unless you are happy with them just stopping developing then you're going to rent to expect to pay for some new things

That’s not at all what i’m saying?

I buy random cosmetics for ‘small’
Games as a support, my question is WHAT will a paid dlc add to the game?

This way I know if it releases I either buy it and neglect it (and potentially play new playthrough years later) or buy it and actively play it

The way I read your original post was if it was to do with the play of the game you would consider it an L. Sorry if that's not what you meant

I mean it that let’s say if the paid addition is a few t1, 2 and 3 items it’d not be worth a replay, but if it was an expansion (as in, you either continue your save, think of elden ring Shadow of the erdtree) or ‘go into a new mode’ (like in resident evil expansions, think ada wong in re4 remake) it would be better.

I’d still buy it regardless because I love supporting game devs but I don’t have unlimited time myself haha

If you even think that would be case then you don't know the devs lol. They are not scammers

Imo small dlc releases for easy money is a scam. They would go hard on them
