Hi all! It's now been almost 3 weeks since the last release so I wanted to give a small update on the status of the game.
Good News
The good news is that things are going smoothly! Well, as smoothly as they could be anyway. As a beginner developer there are some hiccups and hurdles but mostly there hasn't been anything that has me stuck, so to speak. Progress will be slow at times, but still constant. Especially, writing all of the lore takes a while to get right; and this is on top of other things being added this update such as a new miniboss, several new bullet patterns/variations, and plenty more small details. It's a lot to get right but I think it'll be worth it.
This upcoming update will be by far the biggest one yet, already having longer patch notes than all the other individual updates. If I had to give a realistic estimate, the features I stiil have planned might take a little over a week more to implement. At worst, it should definitely be out before the end of the month. It taking so long is what motivated me to post this, since I don't want to leave people in radio silence or give the impression that the game has been abandoned. It's quite the opposite!
As to make this post worth your time, here's a few sneak peeks of some new stuff!

I wouldn't normally straight up plug anything but there's also a few more previews on my twitter https://twitter.com/Dracoraz since previews are a lot quicker and easier to post there. You can also go there or email [email protected] to let me know if there's any issues to be addressed.
Closing Notes
There's not a lot more to be said without spoiling some more new stuff but I'd like to keep some of it a surprise. I guess in a slightly tangental note: due to some unfortunate recent revelations to do with a certain game engine, it's a good time to remind people that this game is made in Gamemaker 1.4! (which isn't the anonymously aformentioned game engine, so everything is fine!). Thank you for reading, and thank you for playing Endless Bullet Heaven!
TL;DR: Update is taking a while but there's a lot of new stuff! Should be released some time before the end of the month since progress is going well.
