So far you've adapted both the text-based MMO and the ship-based sandbox for the Fallen London world, and both have worked rather well. What other genres might you consider as a fit for that universe? Are we to expect a Empyrean-Redolence-themed match-three game, perhaps a Flit based runner, or a loot-crawling ARPG housed in the caverns of Flute Street?

Finally, what elements of the FL universe do members of Failbetter feel are under-explored, and deserving of greater attention in future work? Would you like to spend more time on the Southern continent, or perhaps writing about the monks of Godfall? Alternatively, do you long to detail the migratory patterns of Neathbats, and perhaps create diagrams of the Neathy ecosystem? Essentially, what parts of the FL universe attract what members of Failbetter?
