I hope one of them is a Steamworld Heist sequel. That's my favorite of the games they made even though I admit it's campaign is pretty barebones. There's just a lot of untapped potential with its gameplay is all.
I adore the steamworld games, Steamworld Dig 2 was almost a perfect game, a shame that game suddenly just ends while it feels like you're in the midst of it. The lack of progression was also a bit weird, instead of developing the town and its npc's, they were there from the get go.
I thought they were Thunderful already....
Steamworld Heist is one of my favorite indies ever, and Dig 2 is close behind. Cannot wait for the The Gunk.

That's kind of how I felt, like you earned some new tools and stuff but it never felt like it gave you time to fully explore them. Great game but it could have used an extra hour or two.
That's fucking rad! Honestly the last three SteamWorld games are total classics in their own right.
Maybe changing the Image & Form Twitter account into a dedicated SteamWorld account going forward?
I'm really hoping for Steam World Dig 3 to happen. Keep the crafted levels and at the same time, I want a whole separate map that is randomly generated and you keep digging down, down and down until you reach the core of the earth and then make your way up to escape.
Basically, I have been waiting for a modern digging game that is similar to Miner Disturbance back on Fun Orb developed by Jagex.
Steam World Dig 2 almost gave me that itch but I wanted much more.

They're 4/4 with me. It seemed Quest wasn't as loved so my expectations were low and ended up liking it a lot.
One of my favourite developers. What do they mean by a new name if they have just changed to Thunderful Games?

they haven't changed it thunderful, they were acquired by them a few years ago (thunderful is a publisher which has like 10 other subsidiaries). i assume the team working on steamworld games is going to have a new name soon.
Pretty sure they are just referring to the name of the SteamWorld Twitter account.

Loved Steamworld 2 and LOVED Heist, probably one of my favorite strategy RPGs up there with XCOM 2 and now Wasteland 3. Gimme moreeee
I loved Heist so much. The shooting mechanics were absolutely addictive and the 2D take on turn based strategy was sublime. There really isn't anything like it. I would love a sequel so much
There was progression but it was more based on skill unlocks and upgrade rather than developing the town. I liked it that way because it streamlined what you needed to do above ground so you could spend more time underground but I could see how it would be nice to measure progress by having the town grow.
Nice! I haven't played Hand of Gilgamech yet, but Dig 2 is amazing and I really liked Heist too.
While we're on the subject, as someone who found Dig to be kinda meh, will I enjoy Dig 2? It's in the backlog, but I've skipped on it because I found the first to be so underwhelming.
That said, I LOVED Heist and Quest. I'm not sure I even want sequels from them, though - I love how they have a fresh genre within the same universe each time. More of that, please.
