New systems are going into place regarding that. Big changes to the structure of the game in the next update. Character appearance changes are planned in different ways but the stat system is getting a complete overhaul.
Honestly its really hard to give an ETA, I can only work on this in my spare time until I start building up a patreon following. I've been working on an update for some time since before even uploading this version so it shouldn't be too long.
