So.. if I remember correctly, we should be near to the point where a new location should be added, right?
(was the desert..? I don't remember right now D: )
"near the point" yes.
Which means, most likely in a couple more "real" updates, not the weekly fixes but the monthly big ones.
I haven't played for real in quite some time, and last night tried the latest build. While there isn't much real content yet, the system has been rebuilt completely, and that's what is taking time.
So yeah, better just to keep an eye on her blog or discord (her blog is easier to look at) for news.
Get a good stable update (she usually describes what's in it, and makes clear which one is stable -let's say a safepoint or milestone-), take a quick look how it's going, how the newer system goes, and that's it if you're just looking for newer content.
If I recall correctly, there are big (a.k.a. complicated) plans for upcoming content, so the system needs to be working as good as possible.
(for example, owning our own place -not living in the mansion- with our rules, setting a farm, the player enslaved by someone else, affection between NPCs, etc. I think something like marrying X character was also mentioned at some point)
