I hope so, but it doesn't seem likely. Hell I've only personally seen one game do it (haven't played that many though), Raven's Quest, and in that case it was a very fast cycle, with no consequences.
As you can see from the dates of the Development Log directly above this comment section, Patrons get updates a week early, then everyone else at the same time, indeed the 7th. And as is also mentioned above, next update is coming either late August or Septermber 7. It's later than usual because NCrow took a month vacation (well-deserved).
The game is free, so "compensation" for NCrow taking a vacation isn't quite right. Unless he decides it's now a working vacation, let the man enjoy some time off :)
On PC you can just download the new file, delete the old, your saves will be there. These kinds of games back up your saves in AppData, hence they "transfer" in the sense they were never really deleted :) Don't know about Mac or Linux, though. (Edit: spelling)
According to the section directly above these comments, 8 days ago. The updates have always been once a month, this one will be two due to NCrow taking a vacation.
Just commenting "hello and good job NCrow" to counter all the "wHeRe UpDaTe??" (It's always a week after Patrreon guys, and as of this comment that says 6 days ago, 1 day is an easy wait) Keen for more content of our lovely 2D cuties :3
