When the new update with the gallery comes out will we lose our progress from this version? (also pls tell me the gallery is coming soon)

Saves will carry over on patches and updates. 

I don’t think so. I kind of asked both Poppu and Dr-Black-Jack about the whole progression thing as I was experiencing the freezing and crashing issues and they told me that you don’t necessarily have to worry about any progress lost because I’m sure it’ll probably carry over to the updated patches. Though then again sometimes I cannot be 100% sure because I’m just a fellow player of the game just like yourself.
