That would be really cool, if I can get in contact with them and they'd like us to, we will :)

This is copied and pasted from a forum thread I posted on the subject:

Hi guys,

A lot of people have been asking lately how we plan to support the game after release. So I wanted to fill you in on what my plans are.

I know that now, more than ever, people are buying into games as an ongoing service. Players want a game that will evolve, improve and provide new experiences post release. And to many that ongoing service justifies the price of admission.

So, to respond to that demand. The Starbound team will continue to update the game for a long time after release. Not only that, but we'll be putting together a second team that will exclusively handle weekly, small scale, content updates whilst the original dev team works on bigger, more involved updates.

Eventually the original dev team will be ready to move on to a new project, whatever that may be - sequel, new IP, etc. When that happens, the secondary team will become the primary update team and I will personally continue to oversee and work on all updates to the game.

I will ensure there is always a team in place to continue updating the game for as long as people are playing it.

All of this is on top of us opening the game up massively for players to create their own content, both in game and via modding.

Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns I can answer.

We've been financing the game out of our own pockets on a revenue share. A bunch of team members were beginning to struggle, a couple had to take on second jobs. The game would have been completed all the same but the money means we'll be able to focus entirely on development and get things done a ton faster.

If we reach our stretch goal amounts, we'll be able to pay for some additional content without delaying the game at all. Allowing us to put in things like new races.

Learn a relevant skill, make sure it's a skill you enjoy and learn to get things finished. Actually completing + shipping things is one of the key skills we look for, there are so many wonderfully skilled people out there who struggle to see things through.

The window is resizable at any time, so you can just maximise it and get a full screen window. Though it will still have the title bar. It'd be nice if we can add a proper borderless fullscreen mode. I'll look into it :)
