Alright just so everyone is caught up so there is less confusion, here are some things related to this update and this game as a whole. Also, if there are still people asking the questions answered here, feel free to lead them to this post.
Lets start off by putting it out there that is game is basically a two man team. The Artist and a Programmer/Coder. The updates are USUALLY monthly except on the start of every new route, end of every route or something in their real lives gives them issues.
Why is this Halloween update the same as the previous one?
The linked F95 Halloween update is NOT the new Halloween update. The new one are the download links on THIS thread listed as Halloween Special (remember NOT the link leading to a different F95 page). The file is called something like fet spookytimes.
I thought the game updated?
Sorry to say, at the time of writing this post, it's only the Halloween Special for this year which if you're having a hard time finding it, see above question.
Why is the update taking so long?
The coder was hitting a snag and starting to burn out for the past while so 1 month turned into 2 and recently the Artist told the coder to take a few weeks off since he was burning out. Unfortunately, this isn't something you can throw money at either so waiting a little longer is all we can hope for. Please be understanding of their situation or if there is any confusion, ask it in a polite way.
Why work on this Halloween update rather than the main game?
The Coder didn't work on this update. Like mentioned above, the coded was asked to take a break after burning out on working on the main game. The Artist worked on both coding and doing the art for the Halloween Special, hence the simplistic nature of it.
