The next couple updates will be fully content focused to flesh out existing characters.
The next update is Kylee focused and brings 3 animated and 1 non animated repeatable events for her. We update (around) monthly so I'm not sure where you're getting your time frame of 1 year from. The next update also has the community voted Maria content. v0.3.2 is around 70% done already noone is waiting a year for content around here.
