Thanks for the enthusiasm, and as always for all the suggestions.
VV2 will be a stand-alone game, but we will do our best to offer discounts to anyone who bought VV1. This is easy for people who bought it directly from us, but we will do our best to extend discounts to anyone at all who bought it (and can show some kind of email receipt). This will likely be for the period immediately following release, maybe a couple weeks or so, so make sure we have your email address (opt-in from our previews page) and we'll keep you in the loop when it is ready.
We are really going to try to address some of the things people were talking/complaining about and our goal is to 1)Continue the story of the island 2) Make the game even more engaging and 3) Make the end/late-game more interesting and varied.
