I had come to assume this update would never come. I always found it so odd the 6 year old last update was to prepare for a an update that never came. I wonder why the developer waited 6 years on a single massive update instead of… well just not doing that.

Scope creep. The developer keep adding features to the game, including a whole new game type. The game is twice as big as it was before the update.

He's also developing the game solo, with little help from a couple volunteers. I'm not sure why he refuses to hire people.
