Dan Tudge of n-Space, makers of Sword Coast Legends, has just posted a major "State of the Game" announcement which recognizes that opinion on the game has been polarizing and that it does not meet the expectations of many, and how the company plans to address those issues. To that end, there's a whole bunch of upcoming update packs, which include more areas, control enhancements, a "cleared" outdoor area ready for placeables, new races, and the two seemingly biggest enhancements: a tile-based editor and the Rage of Demons storyline.
As Dan Tudge says, the game has had its fair share of complaints (it's currently trending at only 20.5% here at EN World). The biggest complaints about SCL - at least as far as I can make out - have been the lack of free DM area creation, and the way the game does not really use D&D 5E rules. The latter issue isn't addressed, but the December update includes:
I don't know if this will mean Neverwinter Nights levels of customization, but it certainly seems to be a major step forward.
The Rage of Demons storyline was expected, and includes tile sets, objects, a tiefling race, creatures, etc., as well as an adventure.
The full list of five major update packs can be found here.

- Official introduction of mod support, including
- Tile based level editor
- Branching dialog editor
- Adjustable game systems, ex: round timer, loot tables, etc.
- Community facing development of these features to begin immediately
- Option to disable monster level scaling in DM campaigns
