RipperX of the Mercs did a pretty good 48min audio interview with Bobik who is the lead developer at Bitbox, which is the company that makes LiF. In short we will see more animals in the next few patches. Currently they added the functionality to make player made tunnels and caves your home. Doesn't look like the game will be getting any combat updates til after the holidays. While the game is still a success the player base has been in a steady decline. Without decent combat players have nothing to do after reaching completion on their own village and keep. The cool thing is the devs have hired more people and moved to a bigger office, so things should be moving much faster in terms of development.
