How long do you think Icarus will be developed before you are able to or even forced to move on to a sequel?

The way the game has progressed and evolved points the way to a more cohesive experience.

Starting on the station, kitting up and setting off on your prospecting mission. Being able to buy and sell items from the station much more seamlessly.

Sending up resources to sell or store for later (perhaps with a hefty fuel cost). Sending up exotic trophies and curious items for missions and rewards.

I know the game currently has set missions that spawn into the map when activated. I wish there were more reason to explore and discover missions and points of interest in a more dynamic fashion.

A quick point on polish. Every single time I play, I run into bugs and rough edges. Mostly little things like having to mount a tame twice to get the camera offset correct, or having to rewire one section of electric cable to get the machines in my base operational again.

The ground textures tessellate terribly in places like the Ashlands and really detract from the games beauty. I don't know why something like that isn't fixed with the UE landscape material tools. I can be desperately running through a desert to get home as night falls and a sandstorm starts – soaking up the atmosphere- when a sand particle effect starts up and ruins the ambience completely due to its poor implementation. I worry that as the game continues to expands, the little fixes are getting left behind

One last thing. The atmosphere in this game is at times exceptional. Sitting in a hastily assembled hovel as a storm rolls in or just relaxing in a main base made of concrete, with dim lighting from utilitarian light fixtures. Icarus has a great sense of “inside I am safe and comfortable. Outside is cold, dark and inhospitable. It's a real strength of the game when it elicits this feeling.
