This is one of the biggest lore updates some have been waiting for! First of all note that some statues that had dialogue before might not have it in this update, this is because they have been temporarily removed.
However the statues that have dialogue have all been rewritten and most of them have unique voices too! The Grand Librarian has a ton of stuff he will say to questions Greencap has about the world. Greencaps questions will also grow as you discover things and beat bosses, so far the only two dynamic new questions you get are for the Screw King boss and Queen Evil Eye, more to be added in the next upcoming update.
That said, I can say that the development of the final boss of the game has begun behind the scenes, not something that is in the game yet but will most likely be in the next big update somewhere next month hopefully!
Lots of exciting stuff will be coming to the game in the next few months, my hope is to finish 1.0 somewhere in March or April, I have a lot of work ahead of me but I'll be working really hard to achieve this :). Thanks everyone
