0.4 - 0.5: June-December (6 months)That's on the table but much further into development, they're on polar opposite sides of MCs conflict currently
Throwing dates out with no seeming connection to anything doesn't really help anyone. If Zakko's work is still correcting my old stuff and the last 2 updates took ~5 months, why would this one take 10? Like, where is March coming from? It seems like you are just pulling numbers outta the air and I don't really understand why
0.5 - 0.5.5: Jan-Jun (6 months)
I'm counting from when you started posting previews again and working on the game.
The next update is going to have more content than 0.5.5, combat/lore/fantasy dynamics and better art as always. 6 months has been standard but 7 months (July-March) is not a stretch if the production process has not changed.
As to why? Well either I'm giving you motivation or I get psychic points. I don't mind being the villain. For the record I think your process of streams and teasers as well as thought put into the game is enough to not be bothered by the time between updates. With that said, there was a lot of interest that died in April-May (e.g. less fanarts) so it does affect your business which I'm sure you already know. And saying the latest possible date this early might help gives fans patience! So really I'm the hero in all regards
