I understand your concern, but you do realize that the dev logged over 2500 hours in this update over the last year. That's more time than they invested in their full-time employment (which pays their bills).
I am not saying it will take 18 months, I am saying that I am placing a reasonable expectation of 18 months that is based upon the fact this update took just under 12 months. By doing so, should the update come 12 months from now, it has bettered my expectations. If it comes out in 8 months, even better. But if it takes 14 months, I'm still good.
However, remember the old venn diagram:
Since the game is
free for everyone, there are only two options: make it
- good quality with longer update cycles
- poor quality with shorter update cycles
I prefer good quality.
