1. "Secrets" is something that's been high on our wishlist for a long time. I'd consider it more than possible that we'll see something like that in the future.
2. I doubt we'll add to the objectives in the current mission types, but something we want is more mission types in general.
3. Maybe? A graphical revamp of the minerals in the caves is planned at some point, could potentially include something like that too.
4. If the designers can come up with a good implementation, perhaps. But there is nothing planned of the sort right now.
5. Not out of the question, but I'd assume that we'd keep it fairly internal until we at least have something worth showing off.

I have a particular love for Gunner.

Thanks a lot. ^^

As for Error Cubes...unlikely. No tool known to man or dwarf can crack or even scratch them, so they'd be poor choices for crafting material. Plus, Management insists they do not exist and look poorly on employees spreading rumors on the topic...

1. Unlikely. We quite like the current implementation, and splitting it up would be an enormous task we can't really justify right now over other things we want in the game more.
2. Nothing is planned right now, but it's obviously something we'd like to look more into down the line.

Considered, definitely. We've already done internal testing, and there's absolutely potential. It's not something we're actively working on, but I'd not call it an impossibility at all.

Post-launch, more Mission Types is among our top priorities. That will likely include more work on Biomes as well.

1. New Biomes is something we very much want to do. And several of the current Biomes could use some more work. It's very likely we'll look into this post-launch.
2. Honestly, we take inspiration from pretty much all sources of dwarf material out there - hopefully in a way that's both cohesive and logical and DWARFY, while being able to toss in some shoutouts to other franchises we love.

Most of the founders of Ghost Ship have a past in larger game companies where keeping your mouth shut and not interacting with the community was a big part of the game development.

One of the first things we agreed on when starting Ghost Ship Games was to play with as open cards as possible rather than try to keep things secret. And so far, we've had nothing but good times out of that with you guys. I see no reason not to simply continue down this path - and I like to think it's part of why this community is so awesome. Sure, we have a few toxic people out there, but they are few and far between compared to a lot of other game communities.

Customizable Mules is something that comes up a lot, and there are a lot of cool options for it. There are no current plans for it, but I'd definitely not call it impossible further down the line.

As Will points out, I absolutely adore those posts with the big collections of beards and hats and so forth. There's no technical grounds that stop us from putting them in, and as we write in the rules we reserve the right to use any cool ideas or concepts you guys suggest to us. So, the answer is really mostly just that we haven't gotten around to doing a big new batch of cosmetics yet - but don't be surprised if at least some of them goes in next time we do.

A "Glyphid Hive" biome is something we've wished for for a long time. Now with Launch finally on the horizon, it's not unlikely we'll add something in that vein after launch.

1 & 2: We have a few technical hurdles to get past before we'll be able to add even larger enemies. But it's obviously something we'd love to do further down the line.

3: Short answer: Yes.

Pretty sure it's still in there, just a lot less likely to appear. After we added a bunch of new shouts, we felt like some of them were maybe a bit TOO silly and detracted rather than added. So some were removed entirely, while others had the likelihood of them playing reduced.

All the way back when we started out. We wanted a lighthearted co-op game that somehow meshed humor with being badass. Dwarves were a natural choice. And we all liked gatling guns. Soooo...

We'd love to do leaderboards and such, but it's not something the current server structure of the game really allows us to do much of. It's something we'd like to look more into in the future, but there are no immediate plans for it.

1. What about them? If you're asking if we'll get more cosmetics in the game, then I can almost 100% assure you that there will be more cosmetics further down the line.
2. Not impossible, but not in the plans either. It's a fun idea though. :)

Thanks a lot! That's some commendable dedication! :)

And no, I can't say that was in any way done intentionally. xD But who knows, maybe the overall mellow mood of the game just draws that crowd in?

When you think about it, it's a pretty simple inversal of the good ol' dwarf stereotypes. But yeah, basically, we wanted a more lighthearted alternative to the more dour or serious games in the same genre out there, so dwarves fit our tastes quite well. And the rest more or less wrote itself - there are so many dwarf tropes to draw on and angle to our purposes.

Not intentional. It should be fixed next time we update, if it hasn't been already.

I feel proud.
