The end ?

[Krisprolls]

I wanted to know, since the story is finished the addition of content is stopped ? or are they gonna add some different layout of island or some new things ? Or maybe they are developing a new game?
thanks for answering.

I'll get back to you, after
consulting my Fortune Teller, when she does her prediction.

Might take awhile.

how do you know that? did they tell you, or you are one of them?

maybe after a summer vacation, they will start to make DLCs. or new tools, new machines.. we don't know yet..

The game is most likely done. Even the last third or so of the technology feels unnecessary. Adding more stuff at this point would just be padding out the game past its welcome, unless they made some major changes to the gameplay. Better for the team to work on another title.

I would say there may be more later. Why because of what the npc's say when you talk to them also why get titanium tools after game is finished makes no sense.

That's my feeling as well. Why give all these advanced items at the end of the game if there isnt a reason to use them? Without a story or some kind of objective the game is reduced to sailing back and forth to restock on supplies. But now that batteries power just about everything, you dont even need to do that. By the end the raft is self sufficient. So why give the titanium tools that far into the game?

I hope there's more new chapters for this game

I suspect if we see much new content, it will be DLC. That's understandable though, they can't continue to develop on a game forever without some kind of revenue. As long as they don't overdo it and release 1000 $4.99 decorative items, but everything I've seen from Redbeet tells me they wouldn't.

They made millions from Raft in the first few weeks of it hitting steam and have barely expanded their dev team, leaving scrap mechanics with pretty much no updates compared to raft already. Money should probably be the least of their issues.

I could be mistaken but I believe that RedBeet and Axolot are still separate companies. Red Beet having been the developer of Raft with the support of Axolot games as the publisher. While Axolot developed and published Scrap Mechanic. As I said, I could be wrong but I don't see any acquisitions having taken place.

You're correct, Redbeet and Axolot are different and separate independent game development companies with their own game development teams, each developing their own game.

Aquisition/takeover is unlikely due to commercial success of Raft making company valuable and Redbeet not being publicly traded company. In order to acquire Redbeet someone would have make an offer to the 3 founders that they could not refuse (probably in tens of millions of Euros). Axolot does not have the kind of money. Then again, Microsoft paid almost 2 billion dollars to acquire Minecraft so...

Thanks for the confirmation. Stranger things have happened but I also don't see an acquisition being a likely occurrence given the success Redbeet has had with Raft. I do look forward to seeing what they have in mind for the future for sure.

the game has been in early access for years, the money is definetly drying up. This was the 1.0 patch. Dont expect a terraria like content stream. Typically after a 1.0 patch you get hot fixes and maybe a small patch with some QoL stuff. Dont expect anything big.
