Before I complete the poll for the mini missions, I need a reminder. What were Jungle Jumping and A New Source about? They've escaped me at the moment.
"A New Source" is the mines with the bats.

Please don't take this to mean that I didn't like the update, quite the opposite, I thought it was amazing and the improvements to the game play and art were fantastic! The "game over's" in particular have been some of my favorites that have been added to the game so far!
Just an honest review from me. Some of this is probably total personal preference as well, so I understand if the dev's and other players disagree with me on this.
We had a lot of people commenting in previous versions that they never even thought to visit the farm right next to the Inn. They missed scenes, exposition, and just the general sense of growth that the settlement is going through as you go out on adventures and time passes.
Ultimately, I'm proud of what the mission achieved. Nobody has so far complained or said they've got lost around the settlement. People got to witness where to go for various other character scenes, lewd scenes... and hopefully just generally got a sense for world and the way things are growing!
There's a lot more stuff that it was meant for, but ultimately that is all subjective of course (growth, good vibes, more character moments, lore, backstory, etc). I'm sorry that it slowed down the pacing enough that it bothered you, but ultimately I believe it executed what it was meant to do, especially after the front-loaded boss fight.
Simply wanted to elucidate on why we did what we did, in case you or anyone else reading was curious as to why it was the way it was! No intent to invalidate your opinion or say you were wrong or anything like that, so hopefully you don't take any hard feelings from it! We're nothing but grateful for you playing the game and sharing your thoughts :)
Lotta new mechanics, and definitely enjoyed it. Only complaint was there was no refresher for the moth fight, had to remember (and get lucky).
