>We've had our heads down focused on building year 2. Tim has been writing the story and making cutscenes for all the story events. I've been building the backend of some new features and systems. We still have a LOT of work to do, sorry that it takes so long and that you have to wait. My intention is that the year 2 update will provide a whole 'nother games worth of content (30-50 hrs of play time) + infinite play/years after the end of year 2 concludes the story. I hope the wait will be worth it.

>Next Beta/Update Plan:
>We're gonna take a break from year 2 stuff for the next few weeks and work on the next regular update which I plan to release a beta for by the end of June and if all goes well, push to live in July. The Clothing items will be a part of this update. We have a list of things we want to do that are not year 2 related but help improve the game (skills rework? cooking rework?). + more cosmetic stuff, tweaks, balance, bug fixes, and possibly more localizations.
