I'm so happy and glad you're taking the update patiently @Anotherboringthrowaway! ^^
Since it's a big update, and I work alone, yes, this is going to take a lot of time as I optimize the older code, rework, and add new functions that I don't need to deal with again in the future update~
The progress is going so great as I learn new stuff and improve a lot of things in the game!
I try my best to have the "test version" out this December! =3
(This is due to the fact that I have to draw a lot of scenes for the story and the city)
Cheers!
