Yes, the game is still being updated! ^^
The reason it's taking so long is because I've been struggling for months trying to figure out the additional core mechanics I need to make a good solid foundation to build off of (which is why it may have perpetually seemed like it was "nearly ready soon" every time someone asked to seemingly no avail). But now I've figured out a good design for that which I'm in the process of building out, though I'm also trying to work on adding a bit more polish to the game because of how long this update has taken ^^;
I still can't say how long it will take, especially because I'll need to figure out how best to balance rewarding my subscribers on subscribestar for their extreme patience, but it really is coming along now at last at least. So it really shouldn't be too long now. ^^
I do greatly regret how long it's taken, but hopefully it will be worth the wait!
