Hello,
Short answer: Yes, updates are on their way.
Longer answer: The next update, the Exploration Update, has taken a few different directions as I have been working on it. I think I've finally figured out the best way to implement it, however it might be a month or more away from being released.
If you want to stay updated, you really should head over to the discord. I show development footage and you can even test the unstable versions of the game if you want.
Hope this answers your question! I will probably be posting an update devlog to share whats else has been happening!
