There's still a lot of content to add, but I think the game is in a pretty good place gameplay- and feature-wise, and I'd like to focus the remainder of development primarily on content, balance and bug fixes. The game is gradually getting to a point where it's optimized and not-terribly-buggy (which has not been easy to accomplish given that Streets of Rogue is a very complex game with loads of disparate systems working together in harmony) and features like these would be like dropping an atom bomb into the mix. The latter two might seem like "just another feature", but the reality is that these would affect so, so, SO many aspects of the gameplay that they're simply not feasible right now. The type of features that I would leave for a sequel (if that were to happen, it's WAY too early to discuss a sequel except in broad terms) would - as I state in the FAQ - "change the scope and complexity of the game by a huge degree, and add a large amount of development time." Things like an open world, vehicles, and multi-story buildings. I'm just stating what I'm sure a lot of people have been thinking, that a sequal is a little unrealistic to think about for now when so many new features have already been suggested especially since we aren't even out of the early access stage yet. Please don't think that I'm ripping on the devs because I'm not. I feel that even though not planning a sequal (at least for now) would be a better move because it would give the freedom for some major updates which would make the game even better than it already is (did I already mention that I LOVE THIS GAME!). So many features have been put off (I hesitate to use that word though because it makes the devs seem lazy, WHICH THEY ARE NOT!) to a sequal that is crazy far ahead in the future and not even realistic to think about. I bought this game not only because I thought it would be awesome (which it is!) but because there was room for improvement. Not only are we still in early access but so many cool features are missing. Is it really practical though? I don't really think so. So I have seen a couple comments from devs delaying some major awesome features until the sequal.
