I highly doubt its for a new feature, I can't imagine why Doc would add to the workload more than what he's already taken on. I'm not trying to say that he's lazy in this aspect, he does try to actually flesh out the game and make it more substantial in ways that don't directly correlate with pornographic content.
I had expected an update many many months ago, he was meant to release the second half of 0.20 "soon after" he released the first half and that never happened. Now, we're a bit over a year out from the previous update, which again, was only half of the content it was meant to be, and we're likely having to wait several more months on top of this. It's quite a glaring mishandling on Doc's behalf, and nothing more than yet another reason for his legitimacy and perception of dependability to be reduced.
