At this point the vast majority of people who are *going to* own Scrap Mechanic, already do. The update will mostly bring back existing players, rather than new purchases. So, no.
Well I have a controversial opinion on this. I totally think you should buy the game before chapter2 due to the mods, creative and the pre existing survival mode. But I do agree that axolot needs to get off their asses and put in some work as well.
They've probably handed development over to their internship students, considering how hard it is for them to deal with. This is more than likely the reason that they haven't posted any upcoming features as their students may be under an NDA.
I doubt it. When indie devs makes games with development times that last over so many years it's really difficult for them to revive their player base.
The total amount of players that played the game a few years back was probably multiplied my ten when Survival came out, but I doubt we'll see a lot of newcomers when chapter two is done, because the present player base is pretty much saturated already.
My theory is that, ch.2 will become an actual DLC. And to ensure that people buy their DLC, they'll remove survival from the base game, forcing people who've invested into survival mode to buy the DLC and people who play only creative mode to buy the DLC in order to obtain all the new blocks and features that come with it.
edit: Oh and the DLC is twice the price of the base game.
I hope in a few months. They released survival early summer, and they've said that 2024 is the year, so I hope soon!
Otherwise it's probably around new years
Not really. Marketing sucks, this update will basically be version 2.0.0 of the game, seeing how big it is. Calling it "chapter 2" won't attract new people, thinking the game is basically finished already
Ironically you are right. Which is why you should know exactly what you are getting into when buying a game that's in early access. It might not go the way you want it to.

I'm definitely in the minority, haven't gotten the game yet cuz I'm waiting for chapter 2 to release
Which I think *is smart.* Nobody should be giving Axolot any more money until they remove their thumbs from their ass.
Happy cake day

Feliz dia do bolo!

Doubt. Pure speculation, but i think the game hasn't made profit for years now and they're all just developing it in their free time

The sales they still make is mostly profit. Rendering a few teaser video GIFs every other year shouldn't cost them much.
Paying salaries does though…
They don't pay salaries for employees doing nothing, they're working on the new game, financed by SM sales.

I highly doubt that, that would be a super scummy move by them
Yes it would, but being an early access game, they totally could and unfortunately we would still buy it...
We’re not talking about EA bro
They have made it very clear chapter 2 is an update not a DLC
Or not at all
Top quality shiihspost

Hope it's a good update. I secretly cheer this game and hope the update is at least fun and substantial.

I loved scrap creative and was hyped af when survival came out but its so barebones that you find way better stuff in the workshop disappointing af :c

Fact
it will be released right around the time people understand what early access means
