Sequel?

[Minecraftslave]

Want to know if anyone has heard of any news on this game for an upcoming sequel or if we can hope for one. I love the way the game is with the mechanics and lore, and would hope we could get a sequel or somesort of dlc, would really look foward to it

I am currently working on the PSVita version, and there will probably be some smaller maintenance updates (for the PC version) although DLC or a sequel in the foreseeable future is unlikely considering sales figures.

We are super happy with how well Cactus has been received by players though and I'd love to follow it up with something that keeps that good will.

There are also some small (but cool) lore snippets in the IndieBox edition manual for this game (which still seems to be available jhere[store.theindiebox.com] (if physical copies of games are something you're into - if not, it's probably not worth grabbing just for the manual text).

I read lore snippets as love snippets and was thoroughly confused

[Cheeseness]

Love snippets are best snippets

Lets call it a cult classic :)

Aside from the sales side though, my biggest concern with doing a sequel would be accomplishing the same goals we set out to do with Cactus itself: Bring something of unique value, like we believe Cactus does. Studios like Treasure are sort of my inspiration, they always brought something new to their games.

If we're ever able to make it viable though I'd love to continue the world of Cactus!

I can be at peace with that answer.

Granted the sales weren't to the development huose's liking, I'd like to ask, why did the game not reach sales expectations even with the the ridiculously high review evaluation given by the Steam user community? This is one of the rare games on Steam that have achieved "Overwhelmingly Positive" status by the community.

You can probably believe we get asked this (and ask ourselves) a lot, and after a point it becomes depressing to revisit, since it generally boils down to what-if's or defending our marketing, which I still think was the best we could do given our time, knowledge and budget.

Instead I take pride in the game existing at all, and that it found an audience. If you enjoyed Cactus, or better yet discovered a game you love in Cactus, it means it's something that's loved by both its creators and players, which is pretty cool.

Hey, if we don't see anything more in the Cactus IP, hopefully we'll be seeing more cool stuff out of Witch Beam in general. I wouldn't be too upset if we got some more of those t-shirts, though.
