While I agree Superhuman is getting put up on the shelf for a WHILE once 1.0 is done, it really doesn't feel like the story can be completed without a second game. The big plot threads are just TOO big, unless they get rushed or cut off. Even just character development for a bunch of the most important characters would never be able to wrap up before the end of the game in a way that would be satisfying if a theoretical Superhuman 2 is never intended to happen.There's only so much he can realistically do before it's just being dragged out. He has extended the game quite a bit already and it's being extended again in the next updates leading up to 1.0. If the ending doesn't satisfy people, then that's just something that can't helped.
I already assume the ending isn't going to be to my liking regardless. If it turns out like I think with Ella's side of things.
I'll be fine with the game ending as setting the stage for something bigger (like that much larger conflict that kicks off in the Liderc dead end when that world gets destroyed) even if WW never actually returns to it. There's nothing wrong with that as long as the climax is well written. And I'd be fine if WW never gets back to the story for multiple years, he clearly has other plans and I have no doubt he'll need the time away to recover from some burnout. But if we get some attempt at a fully definitive conclusion with no more story left to tell, with 1.0 and bugfixes as the end of Superhuman forever... yikes. That's gonna suck.
