The only suggestion or feedback I can think of giving is to just... Not wait a year between updates. At least give some quarterly insights into what is going on or being done with the game.
I appreciate the enthusiasm towards it but I also really need to remind people that this game is a hobby project; I didn't expect it to blow up nearly as much as it ended up doing, and it's kind of gone from something that I work on when I like, to people constantly asking me about it across platforms; I understand that people are looking forward to the update, but again, it's not my primary thing, and I have a very hard time working on it when I'm not in the right mindset to do so. I'm working on it, progress is being made, it'll update when it updates.
