So, are any more weapons or other items from the planned features going to be added in future updates? I know that adding more weapons isn't necessarily a priority but I'm sure everyone would still like a few more weapons to keep the game fresh.

Yes, most if not all the planned weapons are still planned.

More than 80% of the Steam players have never even started a multiplayer KAG match - and that's a strictly multiplayer title we're talking about here.
Very misleading. Achievements were added March 2016. Since then, around 20% of the Steam population has played multiplayer (~70k according to steamdb). Completely fine for a nearly 7 year old game which has been out of active development for 4 years.

It's an indie title that has an unstable custom map/script framework
We sometimes break the script API but we avoid it in general. Mods relying on vanilla script without copying them is not unusal and actually the reason for most of the mod breakage. Testing has been made opt-in also so modders can test and fix their mods before the build is out.
In my knowledge maps only had one regression, though...

a 30FPS framerate lock
That's being sorted out, actually.

That's along with an amateur-looking interface
Another developer had replacing (most) of the UI in their plans but another developer may pick this up before.

a boring button-mash-y combat system
Button mashing is hardly going to get you far in KAG to be honest.
KAG uses PNGs for maps, and due to the nature of the game it is pretty convenient to create maps through an external editor.

It indeed requires you to create a THD account regardless of if you're using Steam or not. However, when starting the game through Steam you will be authenticated automatically. I'm not sure how it is a hassle or buggy, since I have never encountered problems using it. I doubt it's the reason the game "failed".
Cracking Steam games by replacing the steamapi library is trivial, you can't rely on it as a DRM. Even small games protected only by it end up being published on pirate websites in a few weeks. You may play KAG for free in singleplayer, but most of the interest is in the multiplayer mode, so we don't have problems with cracking.

Good luck with your steam release, I have played SFD a while ago and it was fun :)

Hello :D
Will this game also include Steam workshop support to download mods, maps, weapons/weapon skins, etc?

From what I've understood the game will include Steam Workshop to better share game contents, but I don't know if it will only focus in map sharing or it will also include script and texture pack sharing.

So you expect them to give you the game for free for taking part in the beta/alpha testing (even though all you did was play the damn game and nothing else) and they can't expect anything in return for something they have worked on for years? The only kind of people in my opinion who deserves to have the game for free might be the forums staffs such as moderators and testers.

What about Pre-Alpha players, then? Shouldn't they also get the game for free? They played the most, so they need to be rewarded, am I right?

testing the game through beta and alpha? when was the last time you reported a bug or even suggest something for the game? all you did was play the game through alpha and beta and i am pretty sure you enjoyed the time as well. 15 $ isn't too much for a game you have played for so long.

I don't know if someone's asked before, but will you be participating in Steam sales? Because if not, I know not to wait for a sale and I can buy the game immediately, but if there is going to be discount, I'd better wait for the summer, autumn or holiday sale.

We won't be eligible to participate in the Steam summer sales as we don't even have the game on steam yet.
