A game drop[1] (or simply drop)[2] is a themed minor update which adds or changes enough features to warrant having a theme. The concept of a drop was introduced with Armored Paws,[2] although Bats and Pots was retroactively classified as a drop.[1] According to developer Ulraf, updates and drops are loosely planned up to two years in advance at the earliest, give or take depending on community feedback.[3] While the game is currently using the game drop release formula, Ulraf stated that there are plans for more major updates in the future.[4]
