Greetings, Kinnies!
Yesterday, at 2:30 PM, there was a Developer Chat Q/A held Live on Twitch TV. There was an interesting exchange between players and developers. Below is the link to notes on the event:

One item not covered in the notes: a player wants to be a chicken in Hobnanigans. This got quite a laugh, and one of the devs said, "Why is next April 1st coming together now?" This got another laugh.
There is much information about future updates here. You will want to know about them.
