Pretty reasonable to assume that the "final touches" version won't just be bug fixes and polish, it will probably also update the epilogue (unclear if for setting up sequel and/or certain alternative endings based on stats, although stats in this game are sort of an illusion, since there aren't really options for NOT developing them; ie, there ain't no love route, prolly won't ever be one!). Still, until dev decides what they wanna do for the next game, no reason why they can't just keep pumping out SJX content, we ain't complainin'!

I don't recall any similar game, much less one with a female protagonist. There is an older one with a male protagonist, like "Daiteikoku," but I don't know if it's in English. The only thing I can recommend is to search by tag.

He is currently working on a raiding mechanic, where you have to use the Armory on Deck 3 and several of your bots to counter them in classic Ren'Py combat... so yeah quiet some gameplay mechanic... and let's not forget the weapons and shields for the base that are still in the Upgrade menu.
On that note we haven't seen the interior of the base either.
It's already decided that SJ X 2 won all polls
I wouldn't take the poll as if it were written in stone either. For example, I voted for the second part since it is a unique game. Today they asked if there was a similar game and the truth is that there isn't. So it would be a shame if the project died. But it's also true that the last word is YV's. And if he loses his passion for the project or decides to do something else, I would understand, since I've seen many artists try to do something they didn't feel like doing because people asked them to, and they all ended badly. That's why it would be favorable for YV to ignore the poll and do what he liked to be able to see another work like this.
By the way, some say I'm a romantic and others say I'm stupid. You decide what to call me.
You forgot about the upstairs of the pirate bar or the sex bot arcade on Iltari station, those have been teased since basically 0.1. I've always assumed that the dancing pole downstairs isn't just for eye candy, the poses would also be re-used in the upstairs portion. Be cool if it also resulted in dancing at the regular bar on Ilium station, but that would require entirely new poses since no pole = no reusability.
Arguably this is already SJX2, but yeah, it'll probably be a distinct game. Still think another strategy game with a hex campaign map like Princess/Tower would be cool, but coding multiple opponents to not make stupid decisions nor automatically gang up on human player is actually a huge pain in the ass; most AAA solve this by just letting computer opponents cheat at higher difficulty levels,
If anything, it'll still be RPGish but trade the node-based travel on the campaign map for the hex grid, which would be quite a nice improvement. Node-based UI is nice for like research trees, but just ends up being crazy tedious with too much clicking for UI movement in a game. Clicking through the spaceship got so tedious dev had to add a shortcut mini-map!
The upside is that YV is a coder first, artist second. Arguably part of the reason why his games actually get finished... he doesn't lose his mind trying to cram arts into a barely functioning code base!
Edit: Wrote "Ilium" instead of "Iltari" like the 3rd time I've done that in this thread... so fixed it.

Too much Mass Effect (Illium) or Star Wars (Ilum). Unless your into medicine and were referring to the bone (Ilium).
Definitely Mass Effect, since Disney thoroughly shit the bed and therefore I have no reason to bother keeping up with Star Wars anymore (including planet names). But it is fascinating how well Marvel franchise is doing compared to Star Wars franchise (since both cost basically the same to acquire), love to be the fly on the wall of those Disney exec meetings where they compare the two and keep coming to incorrect conclusions!
