We've finally got around to adding traits. It wasn't difficult to add them but there are quite a few traits and we wanted to make sure that they would bring more depth into the game. Obviously writing out events and scenarios can be time consuming as well so we were waiting for a chance to do all this.
Now the game should be stable and without any serious bugs (including the missing faces). We hope these changes help make the Rock God Tycoon experience more enjoyable.
We are going to begin working towards song writing (the full featured version of it) next. Panos has already laid out most of the artwork and we've discussed it enough that I think it is realistic to expect work to begin on it soon.
