Mecron:
After the successful kickstarter of The Pit, and Control! (LOVE this game btw) board games, what direction does Kerb plan to head now?
Since I'm asking on this thread, you can imagine what i hope the answer is

I would guess The Pit 2. The traditional top-down sequel to the original The Pit.
If you want a different perspective, stand on your head.

Last I'd heard they hadn't yet made a decision which project they'd pursue after Pit Infinity, but there were 2 main contenders at that time.

The rule of thumb is we have to go where the support is.

In other words....settle in for a long ride. We have a ways yet to go before we can even think of a SOTSHD.
I've grown a lot of patience in the years since SOTS2. I'm actually fine with waiting. Or facing the reality that it might not be in the cards for Kerberos.
Being an indie dev is not an easy road to travel.

the real issue is would you support in a kickstarter and spread the word
As for 64 bit, well it would be a whole new engine so...yes!
i would probably throw a hundie at a kickstarter for SoTS HD Remake. or SoTS 3. whatever you decide to go with. honestly at this point anything you would do to improve upon SoTS prime would most likely end up being closer to a SoTS 3 anyway. i would guess atleast.

Northstar is a space exploration/trading/combat game that Kerberos proposed to do some time ago. I think it may have been the next project if SotS2 has gotten the support and backing it needed from the publisher. I'm speaking under correction though.

Right, i knew that when i was looking up information about it. but it was largely a graveyard. i know what it is now, i had just never heard of it before it was mentioned in this thread.
