Update, DLC, or Sequel?

[8.bit.fan]

Honestly, there hasn't been a game that's got me hooked and loving every second like this one for a long time. I'm still waiting for the physical release to double dip on!

With that said, are there any planned updates, DLC, or even a sequel to this game being worked on? I would kill for even DLC of some sort such as extra areas or alternate timelines where you could use the space marine, the cowboy from the ending, or any other characters! Would be really cool to get more detailed stories from the 'other' timelines!

Cheers!

We just released a patch that adresses bugs and we will follow up with a new update later.
The rest is a secret for now :-).

Nice!! Thanks for taking the time to reply! Straight from the source! :)
This is wonderful news as I can't get enough of this game! I beat the game but wish there was a percentage tracker or more secrets to do post-ending so I could keep playing... :)

Great! I look forward to the updates!!

Well... I would assume some kind of DLC or even a sequel is possible because...

To Be Continued...

Yes but always nice to get a real confirmation from the dev himself. :)
Been burned too many times as a kid with empty promises like "See you again in Axelay 2"...

But seriously, it's not a stretch when I say this has been the best indie/metroidvania game I've played in a LONG time(Axiom Verge was good but it just didn't have the 'it' factor that this game has). The Messenger is just so perfect in so many ways like the writing(the shop keeper!), the transition, the music, and yes even the story. Usually stories are very cliche and tired with metroidvania games and I don't care for them, but this game's story has actually got my mind blown in more than one occasion...and despite hearing people having issues with the 'do-the-thing' ending, it got me busted out laughing and cheering! It was fantastic and very satisfying.

The music is so good my daughter dances to the tunes while I play. My personal favorite is the 16-bit Sunken Shrine. (I bought the soundtrack but why are some of the tracks only 1 loop??)

Anyway, I know I'm going on and on but I just can't get enough of this gem!

Absolutely agree with the player above. This game is wonderful, it is in my top 3 best indie games, disputing the first place with Hollow Knight and that is it.

I learned so much playing it. That is a game I got very enganged into making the hero triumph. It is really not exaggerating saying it is a well made game.

Oh definitely learned a lot from the Shop Keeper! :)
And I was blown away at the seemingly unrelated 'stories' were actually real events that took place in the game world! Very cool.

I can tell you I laughed a lot with the dialogues, more than when I played Deadpool. XD For real, The Mesenger has a bit of everything. 100%ing it was a pleasure.

Definitely one of the most 'complete' experience I've had with an indie game. :)

As a Ninja Gaiden veteran I have to say that this game is an absolute breath of fresh air. I hope they launch some DLC or a sequel. What an absolute joy and the dialogues are just the funniest ones I have ever seen in a video game.

I hope this beautiful game do not Messenger 2, 3, X... nor something like The Courier, The Emissary, The Office-Boy...
I hope this beautiful game do updates/dlcs/new patches and improves the one, expand the story and the dialogues without need a fragmentation of the game.
For example, the devs could launch packs of extensions, including new plots, new skills, new dialogues (a full pack of shopkeeper histories <3 <3) and, of course, more songs for the Jukebox :D!! Finally... a multiplayer mode <3<3<3. Dreams...

That definitely seems like what their planning, based off what the shopkeep says. I think it would be cool if (spoiler aleart) the alternate world lets you switch between the messenger and the soldier from the "opening the closet" cutscene. It would be a nice change of gameplay style, maybe have the soldier play like a mix of metroid and either contra/gunstar heroes or megaman x. that would be really cool! Maybe have the prophet and the shopkeeper switch roles, but still be themselves (prophet still tries to be epic and the shopkeeper stays sarcastic and fourth wall breaking)

There is a sneak peek at some future content for this game. If your on the "Metroidvania" part of the game. If you go to the Shopkeeper's room and look at the orb it'll give you some tidbits on what is to come.

I think DLC is a given at this point, sequel...we'll see

Picnic Panic

[Skipman]

The "To be Continued" part really make me excited, i really hope there will be a new game, (the current planned dlc plan is absolutely ok as it is big enough as a extra content)

Really loving this game so much, i'm not usually hooked this deep into this kind of game, usually just play and done, but this one is different, it has a good bit of everything.

Hope the devs can go on to their next project, whether it's a dlc or sequel, or even a new completely game, i'm already in!
