    Mm thanks for the update.
    I doubt soon though.

    They still have numerous other issues to contend with Artists are usually always ahead of the game.
    If we take into consideration if he was the one who handled the Hyotyl Dungeon Assets - Outpost - and Ship upgrades.
    ===
    Even though all those assets are completed - they haven't been introduced into the game yet.
    ===
    In other words chances are it is simply announcement he has done his part - and he is handing it off to the programmers.
    ===
    The programmers are basically under a mountain of code.

    Programmer Issues
    • Hyotyl Dungeon - Underwater dungeon generation
    • Outpost - Merchant Buying and Selling \ Quest System
    • Ship Upgrades - Asset retention and methodology of ship evolution.

    The Hylotl stuff is just not high on the priority list which is why we haven't gotten to it. I believe the thinking is you can enjoy the villages and stuff we have in the game and missing the Hylotl content isn't as big of a hole as something like ship upgrades. I might GUESS that the Hylotl stuff probably won't be worked on for a while and instead we might do things more important to the core gameplay first. Like getting progression in a better and less temporary area or other systems that have a larger affect on the game than just an underwater city, which would be cool and all but probably isn't quite as needed.

    (That was all random guesswork)



    What is not random guesswork is we've showed off most of the human ship upgrades. So you don't have to guess what it looks like. We've showed off an Avian and Glitch upgrade too. No Star Destroyer. You can see it yourself. :p

    Though I noticed there is no way to go up.... unless that light brown area is a platform.

    I believe you go up via teleportation--notice the human ship has those small rooms above and below the teleporter.

    I think the avian ship needs more guns... it only has two cannons, everything else has more...
    EDIT: Come to think of it, that's probably not the final form of the avian ship. To small compared to the others.

    I hope one of the Floran's upgrade is the back bulb from Bulbasaur.
    or even VENASAUR.

    Those are not guns :/ .

    Probably not, if you think about it in a third dimensional perspective. The guns would probably be on either side of the fins.
