Updated August 21st 2014 3:27PM (Central Time no DST) For a list of upcoming bug fixes click here. We now have a wiki page! I've updated guys! If you know of features that will be coming in the game, please cite and link the original forum post so I can put in in the OP. Do not ask for ETAs as only the developers have that sort of information. NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION THREAD. If you have suggestions please visit the suggestion box by clicking here and post a thread there. What's the purpose of this thread? To gather information of things we already know upcoming for the game. These features are things that are not only things mentioned in the development progress, but rather, features confirmed by the developers in the forums. Example: Orange Shiny Box Will be Done Next Update I kind of want to do something that Minecraft has done with their upcoming features (done like this) so people know what's coming and what hasn't been confirmed.
