I am struggling with a thousand tiny weird problems with NG+, like broken requests, traits resetting themselves, duplicate and "blank" items, and more! Fun! Most of these are because the way I initially coded some of this stuff was a bit naive, and nothing has been unfixable or anything so far. But there is even more testing needed than I expected, so that's just something I need time to resolve.
Since it's likely the update won't be coming for at least another few days, and it'll be another week after that by the time the free edition update releases, I think it's safe to say the Hex update and the changes to the tiers and prices here on Patreon will not happen until sometime in April. While I think the Hex update might be ready to go before then, I don't want to release these two major updates one right after the other, and more time will only help with polish and getting promo materials in order.
As I've mentioned before, the Hex update will come to both editions (actually all three editions) at the same time. All versions of Hex on currently on Itch will be temporarily unavailable for about a day or so leading up to release, just FYI.
