Soon, don't worry.
The next chunk of story will be released around December. It will contain, for the majority of game time... cutscenes... I apologize for that. There will be some gameplay, I swear! But will be limited to the very last part of the game...
What made this next chunk of story take so much time to develop is the high number of cutscenes, the high number of choices for the player, and the fact that I had to make a very high number of animations. Unfortunately I don't have a motion capture set and I have to make every single animation by hand (modifying the movement curve of every single muscle by hand, not particularly fun, I must say). I wish I had my full day to work on it, but working full time on videogames for me is not sustainable at the moment, but maybe it will be in the future, I really hope so!
Furthermore, something that cost me additional time was the implementation of a 3D inertial movement system for moving in space. This would have made it a lot more realistic, but I ultimately decided to throw it away because it was just too complicated to control. It was almost frustrating. This meant that all the time (fortunately not too much) I spent on it was lost.
In addition to this new chunk of story, there are several other improvements planned for the December update:
Improving the attack against the Ternion around Kiza, which is a quite boring at the moment.
Improving the HDev effects.
Fixing a few fights and re-balancing parts of the whole game.
Adding more scientific data while in space.
New enemies.
Some of these things are already done, while some may be moved to the next update, or may be released in a future minor update. Currently the focus is on completing this chunk of story.
Unfortunately, being an important part in the story, there's a lot to tell, but don't worry. The part of story that will be released next year will contain a lot of gameplay and a few boss fights, plus a nice insight into some characters, and... hehehe.
This is all I can say without giving spoilers. I really hope you will enjoy the game! Seeya!
