Version 0.4.1 Is Coming Soon; Looking Ahead to v0.5.0. (Patreon)

I'll be releasing a patch on the 12th that brings the update to the free edition and, as is my custom, adds a tiny bit of content and some fixes.

I'm also hitting the ground running on v0.5.0. Version 0.4 was heavily story-focused, I want v0.5 to be almost the opposite; I want to introduce new activities and mechanics, new events, and new requests. In fact, I've decided to completely dedicate the upcoming update to side-content and activities to hopefully make the game less repetitive and more interesting, so if this update wasn't your thing, or you felt the update was underwhelming due to the emphasis on story content, this should help balance things out.

I haven't decided whether there will be no new story content or not. On one hand, I think it's risky for players to load up the game and immediately see the end of content message. I have a feeling I'll be raked over the coals for that from people who don't follow the patreon. On the other hand, it's easy enough for me to alter that message to explain that there's still a ton of new stuff to do. Something to figure out for later. For now, I want to focus on diversifying and expanding the sandbox content.

In the coming weeks I'll have a lot to share about what's coming, so we'll talk more then.
