Update is coming, but we have a problem
So, we got very close to finishing the update. Like, majority of new mechanics are implemented, game is mostly playable, apart from few game breaking bugs that we're currently fixing, and all that. But we're not sure we will be able to finish it in coming days.
Our lead developer, Cipheos, has been sick for over a week now. What started as stomach ache has grown into an agony, that simply made him bedridden and due to the complications he faced trying to get an appointment with the doctor, he's gonna get checked only next Tuesday. And no, he didn't ignore it, it's just that local healthcare might be a joke sometimes.
We don't know exactly what caused his health issues, but they are getting more serious by day, and if a week ago we were sure that update should be done on Tuesday, right now he's simply unable to work. Even though he still tries, no matter how much we tell him to rest.
We would like to release something else in a meantime, but without our only developer, it would be a problem. Though, while he's recovering, we will make sure to prepare as much content in advance as possible, so once he's in working shape again, there would be enough stuff to just keep pumping those updates one after another. You can look forward for new story for Brigitte and Charlotte, DVa's update and a mini-story for Blaze, redhead from the library.
We are really sorry about this delay, and we'll do what in our power to minimize the time you wait, but until Cipheos recovers, we would have to postpone the Mothra's update.
Thank you for understanding!

Dont worry about not being able to publish an update. In my opinion priorities should be set in this order, health, real life, Internet/everything else. And it seems you got it right. Health (physically and mentally) has top priority over everything else.
Health first, hope it's nothing serious.
I just hope Cipheos gets well soon. Nothing is more important than that now. Good luck..
We don't care about a delay! Take care of him and maybe try a emergency room in a local hospital?
His wife is constantly overlooking him and making sure he's alright. If he gets any worse, it's a straight road to the hospital for sure, but for now he's waiting for an appointed checkup. Hopefully they will figure out what's the cause asap.
The delay is alright. The health of you and your team always comes first Good luck!
Thank you!
jesus you guys are facing setback after setback. i hope its nothing too serious :( good luck!
I mean, that's inevitable with team where each role has only a single person doing it, apart from art. If someone takes a sick leave, we're basically stuck progress-wise most of the time. Gladly, usually we're able to work ahead of our release schedule for everything, apart from coding.
