Kinda-sorta off-topic here, but if I can make a petition to Fishlicka regarding update size...Don't get too bogged down with making huuuge updates. Just make small bits of progress here and there and release it, not unlike the earlier versions of the game.
It's probably for the best to keep each update kinda low-stakes; if you always feel like the next update has to be "bigger" and "better" than the last, then you'll run into burnout down the line, and if reception to an update is poor it'll be more of a bummer than if the same poor reception came with a smaller update. Plus, if people are like "well, the direction you're going in for this version seems a little smelly, Fish," it'll be easier to change development course or make adjustments with smaller updates and more feedback. (Although lord knows there's already enough feedback from us, haha.)
Your choice, obviously! Having never made a game, I can't say I know what good development practices are. But we just want to make sure you're doing well by yourself while making this mastahpeece.
The next update does seem exciting, though, I'm not going to lie. Lava and wawsps and pollywog plants, oh my!
