I sent a mail to the developer of A dark room, to firstly say I liked the game and particularly the access, and to ask about possible expantions or future plans.
He (I believe the name Amir is a man's name), said that he didn't plan to expand the game since he felt the current length was as he wanted. however he is thinking of more games, possibly even a prequal, though he'd appreciate people to give the game good reviews and publicity. One thing he did tell me though which I am trying now, is that the game has an alternative ending, which is tantamount to a different play mode. to get it, you need to complete the game without building a singlehut! that's right, no slaves at all! this obviously means you need to explore and battle for all your materials, which changes gameplay around. The only annoying part is that to unlock the first exploration stage you actually need to build traps, which is a rather long process just by gathering 20 wood a pop, (nobody said this was an easy mode). I'm trying it now, just because I did rather enjoy this game, and I can see the alternate ending being quite a challenge to get since it needs far more exploring. The developer did state he's looking for 5 star reviews, so if people like the game perhaps they can contribute, to encourage the developer to do more in the same style, or perhaps even something more ambicious next time, (last I checked you needed facebook to write a review so annoyingly I couldn't, but when I am back at my flat with my bluetooth keyboard I'll try again).
