So, what's next for this amazing game?

[Kingdark]

I don't have the most hours in the game, but it has given me plenty of entertainment either way. It's been awhile since we got a major update or even major news. I'm not counting the new maps. That barely counts as new content in my book, even if it comes with houses and apartment and similar assets.

I'm talking about the next major feature. Or the next expansion. Come on, even if its still months away, at least give us *some*thing.

The next big thing will be the new game, Workers & Resources 2. Nothing else has been announced or confirmed AFAIK.

So far, the only announced content is a DLC of maps based on real countries in the style of Slovakia.

I know about those, but I don't consider them real content. I mean, no offense to the devs, but there some very high quality maps out there. What I want, is some real dlc. I know that this is likely to be still months away, or it might not be.

The features the game currently has, were not that far apart. They were done one at a time. I'm not actually sure how long the major updates were apart, but a rough estimate, and this is a GUESS based on my memories, I'd say a couple of months, half a year at most. That's actually an upper limit, I think.

To clarify, in case I wasn't clear, I mean that there was six months in between major updates. Or major features.

I checked and the game was released on june 20th this year. That's roughly five months ago. Which means in turn, five months of work. Or, including the summer break, let's call it four months.

This, to me, suggests that they're going to be announcing something very soon. Maybe sometime in December at the latest?

Obviously, I that's just speculation. Also, I'm not sure if I WANT a sequel. I would think they would exploit this game more first. Put the majority of their personnel on making one or two major dlc / content packs and the remainder on a sequel maybe.

That's just how I would do it though.

They've already stated that initial work is being done on W&R 2, but this will see a change in setting. For that reason, my hope is also that they have new content plans – but we simply have no clue.

The game is already complex and has tons of mods + in many aspects it already reached its limit.
Demanding more is a crime at this point.

I dont know why the have to change the setting. V 2.0 in the same setting + improved/new mechanics would be really nice.
The main problem seems to be that workers and ressources did grow into something the main coded only hardly supports by now.

How many people would buy the exact same game but better?

Cities Skylines 2 entered the room

...actually nevermind.

It doesn't strike me as a good decision to shed one of the most unique features of the game, but I think that the war in the Ukraine created a general atmosphere hostile to Soviet theming – for reasons entirely unclear to me.

I would welcome WRSR2, but maybe with workers treated more like humans than resources,
also better behavior of passengers and vehicles.
Three interconected aspects I would wish to be improved:

1. job sities are offering job slots, either one slot daily (8/24h), two or three (depending on facility, also possible to be user defined)

2. workers are reserving slots in advance, their decision depend on actual transport network, given slot will be occupied for whole year, if not disrupted.

3. Very important - real timetables - possibility of defining exact hours of arrival/departure, instead of dumb, less or more random, circulating - such mechanism, AFAIK, wasn't implemented in any tycoon game (no idea, why).
Such timetables would help workers to plan ahead job hiring or fulfill their free time needs.

Of course, there would be issues with rush hour - but well, it is where fun begins :)
Also begin and end of job slots would be optionally redefined by player, to avoid rush peak.
Probably time should pass little slower.
