Release Estimate
This update is scheduled for Q4-2017. Anywhere between 8-12 weeks more is needed to do justice to such vast topics as Mating & Reproduction, Parenting, Character Progression, Skills, Seasons and more.
Lifecycles Itinerary
Starting with the Lifecycle of a Jumping Spider, DoN will wrap up the Monarch Butterfly's mating and reproduction (they've been waiting for this for a long time now!), then followed by the Carpenter Bee's fantastic nesting & lifecycle (wood tunnels!), then followed by the Ladybug's inimitable metamorphosis from a curious looking larva to the familiar bright-red elytra sporting adult.
This all will culminate in the mighty Dragonfly's fabled Aquatic lifecycle thus finally ushering DoN's arrival into freshwater ecosystems, a vast topic by themselves.

All that is a lot of stuff to build, so appreciate your patience as this humongous journey of Lifecycles development is being fulfilled. Everything that can be done to expedite this release is being done, however this is a very important update for DoN to fulfill its EA goals, so where necessary more time will have to be taken to ensure that the those goals are fully met, exceeded and comprehensively won over.
