NLT probably finished ToN last year or so. He's just slowly dropping the content.
Most likely he has the game done or nearly done, his managment and workflow is in other level compare to most of the devs here, he knew for a fact to have a good development he needed to have a few updates done before releasing the 1st version of ToN so he could be free from stress and from complains and deadlines.

For sure taffy tales looks like is going a bit out of hands with deadlines, more and more people of course getting a bit dissapointed with the delays since we already over 6 months with this update and still there is no end to it, but the update better have a good chunck of content to excuse themselfs from the delays, or else there is gonna be a rain of bad comments and trash talking, has this looks perhaps end March up to May will be my guess when the update will drop but until then we cant do nothing really beside waiting.

There should be some kind of rule which makes it mandatory for a developer to put out atleast one update every 3 months. Many of the popular games now are just taking the patrons for granted and stretching an update for 5 or 6 or even 8 months( hello irphaeus). Just my personal opinion;if they have a deadline, they'll probably plan accordingly and work harder.
Lol, they are their own boss, they can do whatever they want. Its the patrons fault entirely for not dropping the dev immediately after they lie about their deadlines.

I dont more any MEGA update from this game, omg, 2000 years waiting for 10min gameplay, in the beginning it was 2 months 600-700 renders, now it's 6, 7 months for 800 renders, you have to be stupid to agree with the "mega"
Maybe he had to redraw the "3D" art back to the original art style because he got shit for it.? It did look a little strange in the one preview.

i can already hear danny's fanboys imagining all kinds of stuff
I did write a huge Danny scene that was considered for the script but don't know if it's actually made it in or not to the final release.

rev2020 You laugh at every comment I write to the point I start to wonder 'Ah, Rev hasn't laugh reacted to my comment in a while, hope the old chaps okay.'

Art hasn't been mentioned once when it comes to the delay of this game in particular though which makes your example just seem like it came out of nowhere. The bottleneck for these projects is usually bad management.
What do you mean art seems like it's 90% of the delay. Uber was sick and couldn't draw, update got delayed, Lostraven says he got a new art pack and Uber is supposed to be sending another one so I'm pointing to the art being the mean reason of the delay and sadly 2d art can't be sped up. I mean obviously an Update going from December to February doesn't make sense especially when 2 years ago we got a Christmas and Halloween update and this year we got nothing. So Management is part the issue but at the same time I have to be thinking Uber has said fuck it and has just made this a double update of sorts we already know it's the biggest update and that was before February and it feels like it's not coming till March so it being a double update is maybe the reason. It seems most people don't care it's delayed though they care it's delayed with a lack of communication so all we can do is speculate.

I'm waiting on a 'pool' themed art pack.

Speculate on that as you wish.

That's the news.
I mean I know you're being cool and all keeping us in the loop but it's kinda depressing when you realise this probably means we're STILL not getting an update because more stuff is being added.

Would you know if Uber ever planned to actually release in December?

I'm fairly confident in saying he DID plan on releasing it in December. We generally try have a policy of not giving a deadline unless we know (or think we know) we can hit it.

Then after about two weeks of radio silence I was told he was ill with what was most likely COVID.
