I figure I should make an announcement for this before SirIzike ends up having to field this question a hundred times 😉
(If you see this post, but didn't see GROVE's update announcement, that's because the fan flowchart here is an officially-unofficial fan project, and this isn't the official game page. I think a few people got a bit confused about that. Make sure you give GROVE DEVELOPMENT a follow if you haven't already!)
In short: yes! I'll try to update the flowchart.
The caveat is that RegalBuster and SirIzike have worked really hard on the update and turned it into a very steep serve. Evidently they're a little hardier than I am in that regard. So, since updating the flowchart in one go would likely take quite a while, and because I'd like to take breaks, I'll stop matching my releases to GROVE's and break them down further. (More on that below.)
First off, before I start work, a few things need to happen:
Then, I need to figure out some things mostly ahead of time:
Afterwards, I'll likely first update the v0.204 guide, with the v0.3… changes to those chapters. Then, I'd like to mostly follow the quest structure, publishing guides on each one at a time. For events and information that aren't part of a specific quest and not unlocked directly by one of them, I'll still try to publish them in logical packages, but separately.
For these smaller updates, you can follow me here or periodically check this guide's devlog. Once my guide is caught up with the game, you should notice through any of the official GROVE update channels also. (SirIzike mentioned that they'll post an announcement when I update my guide, but I'll ask them not to announce the smaller ones since that could get spammy and a bit spoilery. So, as usual, please only follow me here once you've completed your first playthrough.)
As for when any of this should happen: When it's time and I can fit it into my schedule.
One small piece of information ahead of time, since it seems to come up a lot:
There are no missable 🍏s this time. This means you can play through the main game worry-free and pick them all up in the post-game if you'd like. They're (in my opinion) not quite as fiendishly hidden as last time, either, though still appropriately off the beaten path.
