Hello there.

This week we have a different kind of status update.

After a long internal discussion, we have decided to pause the pledges on the NFG Patreon. The reasons range from personal to preventative, but the main reason is that we believe this is the best decision for Summer Heat in the long run. Pausing pledges will allow us to finish the update without external pressure or distractions.

What does this mean?

Until the release of 0.7, the following changes will take place:

Weekly status updates will be paused.

Monthly special renders will be paused.

No payments will be processed for existing patrons.

Rude and insulting comments will be removed to keep things civil.

The status of 0.7 remains TBA/TBD until we finish the remaining work.

The next time you hear from us, we'll have the update ready for you. And for those who are going to miss the status updates, we'll tell you all about it when it's ready. But it'll be more in the form of a devlog.

And to finish on a more positive note, the special renders for January featuring Eve were posted earlier! You can find her below.

January Special Render - Eve

Cheers and thank you for your patience,

Npx & Rob

TheNative

Just to be sure, will it be a shadow drop or will you annouce it a few days/weeks before that?

Dante Espinoza

Take your time better to get the update done well than to rush it.

Jonathan Hang

Kaunatar

Fair enough 👌 take your time. 👍

Vincent Vega

Hey guys. I'm going to miss the status updates but I'll look forward to the dev log when you announce your release. I think it's a shame that's come to this but I think this was the smart decision. Focussing solely on the updates without having to worry about feuds and arguments and slanging matches in the comments should only increase productivity and reduce unnecessary stress whilst it should also allow you to keep your current number of subscribers, even those who have started to lose patience. Smart move Will miss you guys but hopefully we'll get to hear from you in the not-too-distant with some news that will please all of us. Stay safe, stay focussed and we'll hear from you when we hear from you 👍🏾👋🏾

2026-09-05 15:00 it just means they couldnt deliver on their promises and they didn’t work as hard as they needed to. so best thing to do is go into hiding until its finished. which it could take another half year. this isnt a negative comment its a real comment from a supporter and we all know a lot of us thought the same thing every week. why is it taking forever when theres other creators making more progress, some creators being a single person working on the project.
2026-02-01 01:45

Vincent Vega

I think the latter as they've said before they wouldn't shadow drop it but will be nice to get that clarified from them... If they see your question

Bepix

69? nice. also... its nice you finaly locked in and finish that update hopefully this year. im wishing you all the best and looking forward to whatever you will make!

Remixedmind

Is it April 1st already? (Joke). Wish you all productive months to come and we will be waiting for the next (probably final prerelease update) 👍

Tэndэrdovэ

Take care! Sorry to hear you're getting so much negativity... Don't let that cloud your minds! Once the update is finished, people will be crawling back waiting for more with bated breath. Summer Heat is too good to ignore, and it takes time to make a quality story/game. No worries here, from a happy Patron! See you when the update drops! 🎊

Vincent Vega

Or they could keep charging you which people would also moan about. Seems like they can't win no matter what they do. Funny thing, I don't recall them ever making a promise they haven't delivered but I'm guessing this is exactly why they have been so reluctant to give an estimated release date 🙄

Avaricious

Thanks for letting us know mate, take it easy! 👌😆

Edward A Aldred-Dow

What about those who paid for the year? I’m gutted about the pause in updates as I do rate your work. but if you’re pausing monthly subscriptions it should be the same for others.

Casimir Colt

2 weeks ago you was telling us "Next week will be the last preview/teaser for 0.7, featuring Ms. Hill." which was sounding you are nearly done with the update. Now if im reading it, it tells me you was already known 2 weeks ago that you will not do anymore teasers because you anyway will not finish. With the statement from today that doesnt realy sound honest. That leafs me with more questions than answers, sorry. I mean you never was dropping realy a time how long you would need but it always was sounding you are realy far in progress and the update is not far away. But now it more looks like a scam in some way, just doing some renders and write a text every week is enough to hold everyone by the side. Maybe its different but for me it looks like that now.

Vincent Vega

Maybe I read it differently but how I've interpreted it is that they release so many preview scenes during the development cycle. The one featuring Ms. Hill that we've had was the last preview during this development cycle. Lots/some Patrons are becoming more frustrated with the extended development time beyond what they anticipated and many it seems are unhappy with being charged when the update release date is not forthcoming and beyond what they expected/wanted. For this reason, NFG have decided to stop charging Patrons whilst they finish the update. I'm guessing they hope that will stop people from unsubscribing whilst they work to finish the update. I'm also guessing that they are probably getting bombarded with private messages from frustrated individuals who have lost patience which is distracting them from their work. I guess they are hoping that by doing this, they can just focus solely on finishing the update. Once the update drops, I'm fairly confident that people will be happy 🙂 At least I hope so. That's how I interpreted it anyway 🤷🏾‍♂️

Casimir Colt

For me its not about the money. Its just the feeling. If you 6-8 month getting the message we work a lot and we are far in progress and most is done and we are just doublechecking some scenes and correct here a little bit and there than that is now hard to believe, because you dont know on what position on the update they realy are. They never said next month its coming but all post was sounding more like that. If they would have been clearer in there statements how much work still has to be done nobody would be that much dissapointed by now.

Jarilo 亞利洛

I actually think this is a fair and right decision to make. Pausing the pledges on Patreon, I take this as a true action of showing determinations. Doing art could be harsh from time to time. Also, it’s really hard to estimate the progress when there’re too many side branches that needs to be done. I really want to play v0.7 as soon as possible, but I am still willing to wait for it. I believe in your decision, not because I am too blind to see your failure to update before 2026 as you promised, but because I see your heart in your craft. Such excellent passion and dedication should not be overwhelmed by criticisms that went too far. Some of the criticisms definitely make sense and I agree it's very important to optimize the developing process and schedule management. It's just that there are too many negative comments and are only hating and mocking. Those comments really went too far if you ask me, especially from a bunch of people who didn't actually join the patreon and support it. I will keep following your work, and looking forward to hear from you guys again. Good luck and hope to see you soon.

Mr Scott Findlay

I'm sure they announced they were close to a release in the second half of last year.

Vincent Vega

I think you're right there mate

Vincent Vega

They did and they said multiple times that they were hoping and trying and fairly confident that the release would be out before the end of the year.... But I didn't see them ever promise it

2026-09-05 15:00 Well, this is thoroughly disheartening. I just hope this game doesn't go the way of most other games that start the "pause billing and go radio silent" route.
2026-02-01 18:58

Wolfie

The problem is that they haven't really had clear communication, and this just kinda makes things worse. We're going from poor communication to none at all.

Wolfie

Yeah, this feels like "well, we made our money so now we're gonna bounce." Pausing payments until the game drops is a good step. Pausing any and all communication at the same time is...not great. Wish they'd take a page from someone like the STWAdev and pause payments if things are taking too long, but keep communicating about the process. People aren't upset about the missed timelines as much as they're upset about the fact that they've been giving money and not getting what was promised in return.

Wolfie

I'm really sad that this was the message y'all got from everything. People haven't been upset as much about the missed deadlines as the fact that y'all have continued to charge people while not delivering. You wouldn't get nearly as much negativity if you paused payments until release but continued to communicate your process. If things are taking longer, so be it! But to continue to take people's money WHILE things were taking longer is where people got upset. "Hey, we missed this deadline so we're going to pause payments until we release. In the meantime, we'll continue to provide you updates on how things are going. Please bear with us!" Is a lot more of a positive message than whatever this post was. This post comes across like "We're just gonna take our ball and go home." At the end of the day, this is your baby so do with it what you will. But cutting all communication until you're ready to drop (who knows when that will be) is just not a great look. Anyways, I love your game, I've been happy to support you in the past, and I'd really like for your game to continue. These are just my thoughts.

Alex Ferrie

I can only imagine all the negativity has taken an emotional toll on you both. I look forward to the release of 0.7, whenever that happens. In the meantime make sure to look after yourselves.

TiredofThis

See you, guys, on the other side

Paul Hampton

Good luck, devs. You're making a great game. Definitely among the top 5 AVN's I've played through, and there's been a lot of them. When you feel an overload of pressure, creative juices can dry right up - trust me I know, I've been a musical creator/producer for years - and I know all about as well, when something feels "rushed out the door". I could name a few examples but ... nah ... I for one, would love your story to attain greater heights as it goes along, and I know you've probably got some great things cooking. You have never felt pressure from me, and you never will. I know you will not succumb to the brute force of "where is it???", you'll carry this out smoothly and most of all, have FUN doing it! That way, you are assured to have a quality finale, and not have gone all Game-of-Thrones on us. 😏 Ok .. maybe just one example ... 😁 Good luck in your journey, devs. 🎹

PsclArt

OMG it had to be 69th post.. lol!

Naughty Fox Games

We've never done this before but according to Patreon's FAQ, the annuals should see their pledges extended by the paused duration as well. 👍

Naughty Fox Games

No worries, we're not going anywhere. The pledges and the weeklies are just paused and we will have a dev log in the future instead.

Eroc

Last time I checked, I don’t think NFG made people pay month to month. It’s YOU that made the choice to support the project financially.

Wolfie

And, as I said before, literally IN MY POST I have been happy to do so in the past. But there’s genuinely an understanding made when someone supports a creator that they’re supporting them to achieve a goal. I don’t give people money just because I’m nice. I have supported them in the past because I enjoy their game and I want to contribute to them making MORE of it. But tied into the idea of them making more of it is that eventually they will release that. If they don’t, so be it, but then people who have been happy to support them are well within their rights to express their concerns. Especially in a genre where many, MANY creators have been all too happy to goose people for a while, then disappear and never say another word. Which is certainly what “we’re turning everything off and you’ll see us again when we’re done” risks coming across as.

Samuel Henderson

If you are upset about this you are childish. Let them do what they need to do without the buckets of tears and hate. If it bothers you that much, go play another one or make your own.

Lex

I miss u, my queen

Dan Mussulman

Well, my apologies if my comments from last update were hurtful or offensive. I was trying to keep the tone sort of good natured friendly ribbing with a little bit of harsh honesty to jostle you back to reality. I really do think what you guys have created so far is some of the best if not THE best avn out there (or at least has the potential to be), so i honestly wasnt just trying to attack or vent my anger on you, but offer a few suggestions from outside your perspective. Im not against the dev logs entirely, but i do think if ur gonna do them, then they should actually have transparency and convey actual information as far as how the progress has moved towards completion of update, maybe even percentages or something. But i respect ur choice to pause pledges for now. it is a little alarming that ur going silent as none of us have any idea how close an actual update might be, despite 69 weeks of dev logs you could be basically starting over for all we know. But, nothing we can do about it now so good luck! Hope this helps you to lock it in and create some more magic, will see you when we see you i guess!

TKTKTKTK

Hi, do you have any range of time, when 0.7 will be released? this month in June ? Great Work!

Mike Tse

I just checked I've been donating since 2024, and the reason why I did was because I loved the game so I want to support it but having said that the development time is too long for the next release, so I stopped. In this modern day, the most precious commodity is time, and with many other games they have already released several chapters in the same time span. The reality is, when there is hope, there's also expectation to deliver, so far I cannot see that. What's worse is the false hope given all this time that's lost and will never come back. Hence my decision. I still wish the best for this game but I have to cut my losts and move on.

Isaiah Davis

Man y’all suck😂😂 just drop the game already

Rosko

Hmmm, looks like a discipline issue more than anything… funny how Scott Cawthon made 4 FNAF games solo while they wrote 69 "almost there" posts, no Patreon, no Twitter, just results. Anyway, even tangled spaghetti feeds the mind... patience turns effort into polished gold.

Göktug

I dont have access to this versions,please help

Lefty B

Hey, NF, I hope you guys are doing okay. I, for one, cannot wait to see more renders of that beautiful, hot, curvy toaster.

Wallnutty

Hoping you guys are good 🙏

NotThatGuy

At this point i’ll be surprised if they ever come back and update us. Not sure if this game is ever gonna be finished

TheBloodline

Hey guys, just saying how much I love this game. Really curious about how Episode 7 will end up 😃. Keep up the good work and happy easter to yall

NextStrength

For comments here, the Discord server is still active and NFG are always around. Though announcements and other news are always going to be here on Patreon first, not there. It has been said before that SH will not be abandoned. I know the worry is there, but they're working on it. Keep it up Npx & Rob :)

Bob

What's the Discord server called?

Kaunatar

Ty for this, I was actually planning on sending them a DM about it, lol. 😅👍 I might also join the Discord just to check it out at least (don't use Discord much). 👌

NextStrength

We'll all see you around then! And I love the profile picture, Maya ftw 👌

Sbnakod Udiai

Wish we had like one update, not to pressure yall but I think it’s best we understand the progress.

Ham Kao

Hey, I would like to declare that Summer Heat is an incredibly attractive game. I love the well-polished and gorgeous characters, and the storyline is great! I will upgrade to a higher tier very soon cos I'd love to support the game. Right now, I'm just aching to see more of the journey. Outstanding work on creating such a high-class visual novel, guys, so well done.

Luda

We're days away from May, which is kind of crazy. Sure the pledges have been paused, but based on how long its taking it seems the pledges should have been paused from much earlier.....fingers crossed though

Sbnakod Udiai

Really hope the hibernation period ends soon! 🙏 best of luck with this update, def sounds like a pain in the ass.

Paul Hampton

Hey gang... I am just popping in to say hello, and try to see if there's been any updates from you. And it's entirely okay that there have not been. I'm patient, as I mentioned before, I'm willing to wait it out for a few more months, even a couple of years for a final product that would be absolutely spectacular instead of just ho-hum because of the "rushed feeling" it had stemming from pressure from impatient supporters. It was a very good move on your part to suspend all payments from your fillers here, until the update finally rolls. I'm just hoping that you'll give a huge "beacon-bulletin" update, maybe a few of them, to re-ignite the hype and excitement that will easily be felt, when you make that announcement, and announce it's release date. Waiting patiently, friends. For me it's like a long distance relationship, and Sophie not telling me WHEN she's coming home... because it's not a matter of IF. Those pool scenes with Sophie were the best part of the story so far, and my romantic target was decided many scenes before the pool, and I know I'm not the only one that feels that. So .... I simply can't wait for the update!! But seriously and respectfully ... I can. 🎹💯💥

Steve Redwood

I really don't know what is taking so long to get the next chapter done.... It's way over a year now and still nothing. If it wasn't as good of a story as it is I would just walk away and stop playing but I can't, it's too good.... Please hurry up and finish....

Luda

We’re a few months away from the 2 year mark. About 8 months ago, we were told there were “roughly 400 renders left to create” and “estimations can be made at this point”. About 7 months ago, “scripting for 0.8 began”. After 15 months, you guys told the Fan tier their contributions did give them a right to “argue in the comments”, as if 15 MONTHS with no release isn’t wild for any tier to wait. As I reviewed the previous updates, there just seems to be a lack of accountability on the Dev's part, respectfully. There is something they're not telling us. And like I said before, it's clear that pledges should have been paused a long time a go. Sad, because I really like this game and its story so far.

casanova258

does anyone know of a game as good as this? So I can move on?

Haydon Haydon

I think we all need a update, small or big. Just something to keep us aware of what’s the process rather than just a mystery.

JANTI /LeİN

Come on, why is no one saying anything? It's been 4 months since the last status update, and before that, for 17 months, updates were released without any release date being given. This new update cycle must be nearing its end, or we need to get some good news.

Dan Mussulman

yeah but Vincent Vega this is part of what continues to be a nagging concern of mine. They said at least a few times that the release was very close and indicated one time that they would only have 1 more dev report before the release. Since they had weekly dev logs, the info for a sane person to get from that comment would be that release could be expected in the 2-3 week range but no more than that. At that point, after well over a year of development, to say its 3 weeks from release means that its basically done and just testing and such to be finished (more or less, maybe a few emergency renders or whatever). So what happened? As of writing this its been 4 months since they pulled out here on Patreon. Were they never that close and just telling us what we want to hear? Or did they see the endzone, only to fumble. But with what? More tweaks or story changes? What else could have happened to make someone who should be an expert on the subject, miss-judge their completion timing on something by 800% I mean, how could that be considered a good thing, or the right move at that point. They have so many fans who dutifully paid every month for the entirety of this cycle up until they stopped payments but that was 15 months i think at least from when they last dropped an update, so they surely took in a lot of our money and we dont even deserve an actual, no bullsht, adult (not lewd lol, as in not childish) answer or explanation as to what the F is going on over there?!

TEAMU7

Is the game dead? Personally i though the update would be out by now. (its over 4 months post the last dev update)

Vdrivn

so any new updates from discord?

Wolfie

There are plenty of games as good or better. Check out Artemis, The Missing Part, STWA: Unbroken, Eternum, Ripples, just to name a few. Look at Game Story Log (it’s a website) and you can search by ratings. They actually just finished their Adult Game Awards list so you can look through those games and find some things to play.

SleepRiot

Count in seasons, not months. They're stuck in a loop that won't end anytime soon. Move on for your sanity

Attila Acar

The game appears as "abandoned" on some websites. If you've abandoned us, please let us know... At least we, your supporters, deserve it...

NextStrength

You can check the spoiler channel in the Discord server, back in May (and a few days ago again) it has been confirmed to be not abandoned. Work is ongoing 👍 But this status update still stands, there won't be any news here or there until 0.7 is ready.

sp49

Wow, it's a very long time since you guys updated the progress. I almost forgot about this game... Can you please give us a quick update no matter what? As your supporter, I think I do have the right to know the progress and I hope you are all good.

PrimeKOS

Is the game officially abandoned?

NextStrength

It's not. You can check the Discord server 👍

Zedico

damn this crazy

Luda

What exactly happens on the discord that indicates that the project isn't abandoned?

Luda

What exactly happens on the discord that indicates that the project isn't abandoned?

NextStrength

You can see that NFG are active, and they’ve answered multiple times that work is still ongoing (Yes you can choose to not believe that, but then you can not believe anything, and where does that get us?)

Sbnakod Udiai

Can we get some confirmation that this is still being worked on? More than a message? A post?

Crimson Joker

This game is dead. It was supposed to be one of the all-time best games. Too bad it's been abandoned

Crimson Joker

One update has taken them over a year now. This game is never going to be released

Crimson Joker

It's taken them over a year to make one update. More than likely, it won't be this year, considering how much time is left. So they expect to be paid monthly for yearly episodes? have fun wasting your money LMAO

ChaosOmega98

Hope you give us an update or some news soon as people are calling the game abandoned

NextStrength

It’s called support man. If you don’t want to support then that’s fine? And billing has been paused since January regardless

RyGuy

Really hope this game comes back soon, it's definitely one of the best!

Maciek Musialik

8 months in, I still have hope. (very faint)

Emanuel Monteagudo Flahaut

Today is the 2 year anniversary of update 0.6. Will we get 0.7 this calendar year? Hope is slowly eroding, unfortunately.

Vincent Vega

Even my faith is beginning to wane now. It's like the Devs have gone into hibernation or something 😭 This isn't just "polishing", after this amount of time it's reasonable to suspect that work has stopped on the game, or that the Devs have taken a hiatus for a period of time. Even if they're still working on it now, there's no way they've been working on it non-stop all this time without having something that they can estimate a release date for 🙄

Billyboi

Are you sure?

Billyboi

Will we get any sort of news in 2026?

JustM

My Newt! Noooooo... 😭

Rose Lee

still no update?

Felix Wong

I missed you guys ;-(

Dudical

What is going on with this project?

J

Jesus what I wouldn't give for a "closer" to whip this group into shape. Finish something, for god sakes.

Naughty Fox Games

The game is always being worked on, unless said otherwise. The next post will be the devlog and a poll about future deadlines. 👍

Naughty Fox Games

A lot of stuff happened outside of the project and not everything worked as intended. We will make some changes to prevent such stupid long dev times in the future. 👍

denzel

We were waiting for the subscription payment to go through.

Naughty Fox Games

The NFG Patreon is not paused anymore. If the charge came as a shock or you are not happy about it, you can send us a refund request. :)

Seth Fouts

I noticed subscription fees resumed but there's been no status update. Is the 0.7 update around the corner or is there some other reason subscriptions are turned back on?

Billyboi

It is getting very hard to trust at this point. If you are just tinkering and not progressing seriously, might be good to just say that and reset expectations.

Billyboi

This. Would be nice to see a post of some kind coincide with this change.

Billyboi

Why did billing resume?

Marco Newgate

For those reading this, Hi!! I wanted to make this post as way to remember what is going on for myself and anyones else. As other comments may have said. As of October...payments resumed, and there is no .7 release at all. Which if you check the "What does the mean?" section. It clearly states they wouldn't charge us yet. There is not even a release date announced yet. There is no new post covering the resuming of charges. So right now im out some cash with no content to play from NaughtyFox. I and hopefully many fans of this game and it's devs want to know the 4 W's and how to anything of these recent events. P.S. I am not looking for or wanting a refund. I just want some answers.

Felix Wong

I love this game. Please trust Rob & Npx, they are working hard on this game. Thanks!

Naughty Fox Games

The NFG Patreon is no longer paused or on-hold and the pledges continued now in October. We couldn't choose a day unfortunately, it does mean that things are moving forward however. :)

Naughty Fox Games

Hello again! Hopefully the response to your DM already answered some of your questions. :)

Billyboi

I take it that you were told that the update is dropping this month then?

Marco Newgate

😹😹😹😹😹 If only I was that lucky. The DM mainly covered that "soon" a Devlog will come out, and it will cover what's going on with the game's present and future. Then an explanation for why payments resumed. Which had something to with Apple Patreon strong arming with a new policy or something like that. I skimmed that part after I saw it was Apple related. That's the basics of what was shared in the DM. There was a little bit more, but it most going to be covered in the previously mentioned Devlog.

CGstudios

was charged this month, hopefully that means something lol

Billyboi

"Soon" has been given too much power of late lol

Queefland Brown

Sooo we're being charged despite the January 31st post saying that until the release of 0.7, payments will be paused. That goes against what was promised in the first place. You can't say we're suspending payments until the release and then start charging people before the release.

Queefland Brown

So are we actively being charged then? Because the post states that payments would be paused "Until the release of Version 0.7"

Queefland Brown

I would like to note that in this post that you released January 31st, that "Until the release of 0.7" payment requests would be withheld. I find it distasteful that you have resumed subscription payments WITHOUT NOTIFICATION or WITHOUT fulfillment of what was promised. I understand the need to take a step back from even monthly updates, but to resume payment without warning and without having released ANY UPDATE of a finished product is infuriating and downright insulting.

Naughty Fox Games

Unfortunately there was no option for us to choose a date when to resume under the old Patreon system. It would be possible now, as the new subscription billing works from the day you pledge or pause to the same day next month. Normally we would have talked about this topic in status updates, as every creator will be on the same model starting in November. We will mention it but until then here is the Patreon topic about it for Creators: https://www.patreon.com/PatreonforCreators/posts/reminder-all-be-170931602 The NFG Patreon is no longer on-hold or paused and development is moving forward. We understand that some may be unhappy with the situation, and if that is the case, please request a refund.

Marco Newgate

After rereading why payments restarted in the DM. Yes we are being charged for October. Which should be explained in that "soon" update post. For some info i didn't before reading the DM. To suspend charging accounts was on a simple yes/no slider. They charged for October cause in November Apple is requiring all or any pauses to payments need to have set dates and times both starting and ending. The part that is speculation for me and you is. Do they continue payments in November or is back to payment pause? I do wholeheartedly agree with you how resuming charges breaks what was stated. This whole situation with payment, no content, and no public posts regarding any of this has only kindled the knowledge of things I didn't know, my anger, and minor loss of trust.

That is true. Im just left wondering now. It is weird that to thinking how late the "soon" post will be?

So development stopped until this time? If it is moving forward now?

Please post a status update soon this month explaining the situation and saying there will be a detailed devlog later. A very small number of people read these comments and the vast majority have no idea of what's going on and they deserve to know. Thanks!

I’ve lost a lot of trust here, there’s been a failure of transparency from you guys, not even an announcement talking about charging again, it’s unfair to your consumers how you’ve been handling this update, we understand every setback but it’s better to be transparent than it is to be sorry.

Evening! Yeah, it's been a weird year. Not something I'm personally proud or happy about. After this weekly/newsletter post, the next post is quite anticipated and we won't mess that one up by making it anything but the release date post. Our diary posts tend to lead to a lot of discussion outside of Patreon, and has been quite a sensitive or heated topic for a long time now because of us. That stuff aside, we're getting our ducks in row with a bunch of art we've been looking forward to getting. Some fun stuff in there that also solved our biggest chore scene. We ended up having some custom drawn art for it instead which feels a bit different than the normal renders. You can always send a DM here or on Discord if you have questions or worries. The status updates on Patreon are just newsletter posts and not really ideal for discussions. Cheers -Npx

It’s been practically a year... so, is there any product update—even a small one (on Discord or anywhere else)? It’s a bit frustrating to wait for something, knowing that the next version (the update) will be better. It’s just like watching an anime: you watch this week’s episode and then have to wait for the next one, eagerly anticipating what’s going to happen. I CAN'T WAIT FOR ;-;

There is no announcement yet or any form of status update, but over on the Discord server there has been a coupe of things said here and there. Like a few reasons for things, and some very small details about 0.7 occasionally
