I feel honoured that you like the game this much! Thank you.
We're not too sure exactly when the next update will be ready, we're hoping to get a smaller update out soon after the Ludum Dare judging ends. If we're lucky, we might be able to fit some of the bigger stuff we had in mind in there too, like the blood moon.
(To be honest, I'm a bit scared of ruining the game by accident.)
There's currently no way to follow development, but it seems like it'd be a really cool idea! I'll make sure I talk to Billy about it when I can.
Thank you very much for the comment.
