Hey Emily!
It's such a pleasure to hear that you are thinking about the game and its upcoming update!
I decided to take a few more months to make sure that everything is just right. A team member also moved overseas this year and started a job, and the final member is studying their Masters, so a lot of things added to the delay, haha. However, I'm hoping it'll be completed in around 2 months, but with marketing and arranging a proper release, it could be a bit longer.
If you'd like, I have a roadmap of the plan ahead for the game on my Patreon - this post is free to view :)

Thank you for so much for your encouragement and message. It brought such a joy to my day to hear that the game is still on your mind.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday time!
