It wont really die, is just completed. It is highly unlikely to push past 2.0. After the steam release, the plan is to have a break period and then move to the next side project. Good things come to an end and the next doesn't have a reason not to hit the same as Starmaker. We all love starmaker, and the next side project will be worked on with the same enthusiasm as Starmaker has been developed with.
However, its always great to see the support Starmaker receives.
