My Imaginary Sequel

[qny4]

So I finished my first playthrough and enjoyed it enough that I jumped right into my second, but starting over made me realize... there isn't actually much to this game. Having Webber as a cameo character just made me realize that this game is basically Don't Starve Lite. There's almost no elbow room in your camp, and there are only four dungeons to visit. (I have no DLC, but I think a game shouldn't have to rely on DLC to be worthwhile on its own)
Since there are so many things that could be added to this game, I've made up my own imaginary sequel with all kinds of new features!
-Different biomes for your camp (desert, dense forest, beachside, etc.) with benefits and challenges to each. For example, the dense forest gives you extra logs but you have to put up defenses or train your followers to fight any stray monsters that show up.
-More minigames than just knucklebones (bonfire dance does not count imo)
-Secrets to be found and lore to uncover about each Bishop
-More NPCs to talk to, with longer quests and intersecting stories
-More interactions between followers, like allowing them to marry each other instead of just you
-More crops and recipes
-Long crusades with checkpoints so you can tend to your camp in between
-I wouldn't add to the skill tree or building tree since they're both big enough already, but maybe add some customize/paint options for your buildings.
-Two words: Ratau Backstory.

What else would you add to an imaginary sequel? Please tell me your ideas!

After beating it and then doing the second part of the game where you have to rebeat the bishops to have them join your cult. I've got 400+ days on my cult as I do enjoy the loop personally. I'd say there's some good amount of stuff here, but I can agree with a few of your points. I am hyped for the new coop mode coming too. I feel like FreeLC's, like they're doing, is a great way to expand the game.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

More biomes would be dope, maybe you can expand your cult on different biomes and bounce between them as needed.

While I do think the rhythm minigame of the drum circle is a good addition as well as the fishing mini game and Knucklebones, I would like to see more as well.

There is a ton of secret lore that has been added with the secret rooms that have ancient tablets and such. I'd love more lore though.

More NPC's would be fun with new areas to look at. I'd like the side characters to talk about each other more as well. They do keep adding NPC's with every update which is cool, but I would like more side quests with them.

I am always down for more things to do with my cult. They do seem to add more and more to the cult with each update, so that is nice.

They added hops and grapes in the sinful update, so I am hoping we can get more of this as well. More recipes with more food groups would be interesting, though the farms can get huge, so maybe a way for some vertical farming as well, or bigger plots to hold more seeds.

I'd love to pause a crusade and check in on my cult before continuing. My crusades always feel short because I do them in 3-4 days. The only reason I get that long is because I give my cult shrooms and then have them fast. Then I have the kitchens prep food so I can get an extra day or two out of it. I would love longer crusades though. Purgatory was a nice addition.

The skill tree is huge, and I wouldn't hate more, but we only have so much land, so it would start to get a lot more cramped unless they expand the size again. I would love to change the aesthetics for the buildings like you do the inside of the temple. That would be dope.

This would be awesome. At least that or have him come back after you sacrificed him to the wolf. I'd like to learn about his time as a god of death, and then what has happened to him since handing him over.

Overall I think a lot of these could come to the game, and they're solid ideas that seem feasible. They keep adding things, and as long as the content keeps flowing, I will be very satisfied. If they do make a sequel at some point, that would be awesome too.

Getting more land isn't likely. The assigned socializer dev already said they were pushing it a bit with the last expansion due to console limits.

Besides that I already have enough space to feed 30 followers with more than enough for extra decoration.

I need to shrink my cult then, which is fine. 30 is much more manageable at least.
