Yeah, we've talked about it on Steam/Discord, I'll copy the Steam post over here for an itch devlog update, but we're aiming for sometime in the next few months basically due to holidays causing delays, and wanting to make sure everything's working correctly because there's a *lot* of stuff getting added.
So is that a guarantee or will something else crop up early next year leading to the new patch coming out toward the end of 2026. I do not want to sound like a ass but these constant delays to the game being "finished" are becoming a bit of a joke now. I regret backing this game on patreon now, I should have waited for a finished game but lesson learned.
I wouldn't take any exact release dates for the game as a guarantee (outside of it absolutely being finished in 2026 since we are extremely close to being done), simply because we can't predict the future, and we'd rather make sure the game is good than meet a release date with a sub-par version of the game, a mistake we've already made once and we don't intend to do again.
We are working on it every day though, and hopefully the wait'll be worth it.
