On the trello, they are making an announcement poster for the next update that says:
- Entirely new water, sky & depth rendering system. Featuring eclipses and total darkness.
- Hatch and Ladder animations.
- Music and effects volume options.
- PDA story messaging system.
- New creatures: Shocker & Crab Snake.
- Possible special guest appearance from Sea Treader
- Coming October 12
Now some or all of this could change, but if we just get the new water & sky rendering I will be happy.

Eclipses and total darkness sounds awesome as well. Does this mean we'll get rain and other weather? For a planet almost completely covered in water, I expect it to rain a lot.
Post Script: This gets me thinking. If they add weather, can you get above it? If you climb to the top of the mountain on the floating island, will you be above the clouds? Just a thought.
don't let us down bro >:(
naaaahhhh jk man. keep doing the great work.
Well, clouds are usually a LOT taller than that mountain. Clouds form a lot higher than that. Sea levels could also be a lot higher, though.
la la la la. I'm not listening. I'm not hearing this.
Oct 12th would be great, but the update is done when it's done. No worries.
How high can a sea level go?
I mean, for instance, if earth suddenly received megatons of ice asteroids hitting it's atmosphere, turning into water and adding it to our climate and sea levels, how high could sea levels rise, before it overflowed from the pull of gravity?
inb4 its out tomorrow
As more and more water is added, the earth's gravity would slowly climb, from the added mass. So it would never overflow. There are some extrasolar planets out there that we've discovered that scientists believe to be completely covered in liquid water, with the shallowest parts something like 40 kilometres deep.
i love the work you and your team do keep up the great work
