I already know this thread is going to be full of angry losers with nothing else going on in their lives come the time of the release. I've received harassment over this for months already. There's not much I can do but be transparent.
People will be expecting a year's worth of content, but as I try to make clear, I want to release v0.18 as fast as possible due to the time between updates. This means releasing the update with the minimum amount of content I am happy with. For v0.18 this will include Story Events for each main character, some for Side Characters, remade/improved content, and the Farm expansion, which will include an early source of active income which becomes a source of passive income later in the story if you choose to take Jin off drugs. The Farm will include many upgrades, tools, and plants, with more plants planned in the future which will affect gameplay. It includes a new shop and location in Caliber which you can visit with the Explore content. So when I say expansion, I really mean that, as it effects almost every area of the game. It should take me around two weeks to get everything finished with this, but it's been in the works for over a year already so I'm excited to finally release it!
And regarding v0.18, I should have time to continue developing my plans in v0.18.1 or v0.18.2 to hopefully make up for the smaller-than-usual release of v0.18.
I could continue working on this update for months more, and make it the biggest update I've ever released, but the fact is it will never hold up to some people's expectations if they're expecting me to have been working every day over the last year.
Fortunately there is more support and genuine questions coming my way than harassment, and I'm usually happy to answer any questions unless it's too personal.
