Amnesias's price vs content

In reality releasing mod tools in a form useable by the fans takes a lot of effort, and the devs are quite active in the forums, offering tech help and such. I don't get the vibe that they never want to see the game again after they finished it - they worked on patches for all three OSes to run well, and made sure the tools also ran on all three OS environments. That's a lot more TLC than most would expect.

Sure, it was short, but as others have said, they tailored a concise focused game and development cycle because of relatively dire financial straights. One of the things mentioned in the recent blog article on Dead Space 2 is the high production value and polish in that game, and you can detect no small amount of envy in that comment - they wish they could have given the game some overhaul, likely to integrate Agrippa better earlier, for one thing, and possibly expand on Alexander's motivation and backstory for another - but they just couldn't.

You could always hold out hope for a Director's Cut version of the game, but I bet they would consider their time better spent on a new full length feature.
