Your doing a amazing job updating this game, i was just wondering how long do you think it will take until its fully released or how much more do you have planned?

Honestly can't say, my totally-not-official answer would be I want to leave Early Access by the end of this year, or early-mid next year.

But, RPC isn't really a game that can be "finished" more so the developer just runs out of ideas. Even after release I'll still be chugging out content. Release will just be the moment the game transitions from a feeling of being incomplete, to a feeling of being complete.

Right now though, just a quick laundry list of "must haves" that I feel need to be completed before release;

- The inventory/equipment system

- Rare/complex resources (Iron, etc) to make said equipment.

- A villager skills system (They get better at tasks the do often)

- Tons, and tons more monsters and maps.

- Tons of side buildings that don't need to be built, but help with general game play.

- More castle-liness. The village center should be upgradable into a grand castle, and the village should eventually feel like a castle's surrounding village (Example: Feels like Whiterun in Skyrim, or even Winterhold eventually).

- More control over spawning, weather, and general environmental settings for the map maker (and in turn, me when making official maps)

- Sandbox mode

- Ranged attack systems for mobs.

- The new worker assignment system (More news on this in the InDev 20 road map. Too complicated to go into here.)

- A way for villagers to somehow interact with other nearby villages/regions. Although I haven't worked out how this will work yet.

That's not a complete list, just what's off the top of my head.
