today, i talked a prominent member of the long lasting Spiral Knights community who revealed they had a planned successor project to the game since at least 2020. it's apparently been roughly two years since they did any serious work on it, and there are at least a couple of people on the team.

for those unaware, the old 3D Unity work i was doing some months ago, currently titled Satellite, is a successor project to Spiral Knights as well, so if another team of people have their own thing in mind, i have the choice of either begrudgingly fighting to get my game to the public eye before theirs... or just trying to merge our projects to make it more likely for something to get made at all.

unfortunately, i'm not a well known member of the community, otherwise i might have more luck initiating some new work on their project. so maybe i'll just have to poke around Satellite again for a bit, make some development stuff for show, and post it around there to generate a little interest? at least to show that i'm serious about wanting to work on it
