How often to expect updates:
A lot is going on in Paranormal's development. Not only am I always patching the original game, I'm working on Paranormal's first major DLC/expansion, The Town. As with every future Paranormal update/DLC/expansion, The Town will be free to owners of Paranormal. Updates may be frequent one month and then less frequent the next. It all depends. Either way, Paranormal will be updated with new content, fixes, and optimizations.
