That's been my experience ever since the first one. AUGER:ZENITH was so excellent, too. Despite it being the largest DBP I've played, I wished there was more of it. Do you guys think you'll revisit any previous DBP themes for future releases?

Theres been one sequel to a DBP, monuments of mars 2 but that was also kind of a ruse to prank the mappers into making Fred Durst Doom as an april fools joke. There was also Hell Revealed 3. I dont get a whole lot of mapping inspiration from doing themes that have already been made and played. It also makes for big shoes to fill which can also be discouraging; so i try to avoid sequelizing the dbps if i can help it.
However, I dont think there is enough original locations, time periods, or aesthetically pleasing color pairings to keep DBPs going forever without some overlap.
If your question is "is there gonna be a auger zenith 2" the answer is probably not, but if your question is "will you ever make a different cyberpunk city DBP again" I am leaning towards definitely

It's great to be able to distinguish everything. Gotta keep that creativity flowing. Too bad that means no UAC Ultra-themed mapset, I wish we had more of that. Have you guys considered doing a mapset based off of Sapphire: Orbital Research Station by Tormentor667? It doesn't have to be as fancy as Sapphire (though that'd be a welcome bonus), I just found the color palette and textures themselves to be quite stunning.

I remember that Sapphire had cyan in place of blue. It felt like the cyan range was kinda flat and bright there
