We’re currently only aiming for all the content in the core rulebook. All other supplements are a huge future question mark for after we get the game solid with just that.
So is non-core supplemental content more of a possible future goal for like, once the game comes to Steam, roughly? I'm guessing that's also when "mod"/third party content support will be touched on more given the Steam Workshop will be a thing, but I'm just curious where in the current little roadmap on the game's main page something like this would be considered. I know it'd be a lot more work adding all of the content in other official supplements, but I have to admit I think it would be a great addition if y'all consider it feasible at some point in the future :)
Yep, exactly, and I agree! Sometime post-Steam, if the launch there goes well enough to support additional development. If I had to make a guess for when we’d get the space to work on porting supplements, it’d be 2027 at the earliest.
We’ve also only gotten an explicit greenlight from Massif for doing the core book — I know that the supplements are probably also covered by the same third party license, but enough stuff will have changed between the initial thumbs up and that point that I’d want to have some more discussions with them before launching into anything beyond that.
First off sorry for the delayed reply!
Secondly, WOO! ^-^ Excited with the update a couple weeks ago, and the little devlog about attending the different cons and stuff. Not only spreading word about your game, but just Lancer in general, you're doing RA's work. Bless you.
Very happy to hear y'all are considering porting the other official supplements if the game does well on Steam! I have high hopes for it, you guys deserve all the success, and I think even people unfamiliar with Lancer will get drawn in and have a blast. I also understand that future discussion would be required with Massif to confirm such a thing would be okay with them. But again, I have high hopes. You've done an amazing job so far of representing Lancer, and I think Miguel and Tom are proud of y'all. I imagine Massif would be stoked if you guys were in the position to implement more official content; after all, it would only further promote Lancer, as well as mean more content for the game, which only makes it even more enticing to buyers. That's a win-win if I've ever heard of one!
So go forth, my dear LT Team, and CASTIGATE THE ENEMIES OF THE GODH-- I mean, uh, continue the amazing work! We all love and support you for what you do, for the community and for Lancer as a whole :)
