Close enough for h-bombs, hand-grenades, and government work.
Either way, last I heard, he had all the crops that will be going into this update (I am still making more for later), and he was waiting on some coding that he had contracted. Unfortunately, that was taking longer than he had hoped. Once that is/was done, then he will need to incorporate it into the game. Been a week or so since I heard from him about it, so I can't say how far along any of that is now.
I know waiting is hard, especially when it's this close, but all we can do is hope things go well, and the bugs get ironed out quickly.
