Sounds exciting - take all the time you need. I’d much rather wait another year for an awesome game than wait a month for a rushed one.
Also, on the recent emergence of this topic - it has been roughly established that 4.0 will be more hardcore in terms of survival mechanics, immersion, and overall game difficulty. I’d just like to say that no matter how many complaints you may hear out there, most of us regulars would definitely love to see 4.0 become the most hardcore iteration of the game. I hope that you don’t feel the need to water down any game mechanics that may seem daunting or over the top to the less experienced. Unturned should, at least in my opinion, be a game with a high skill ceiling and in-depth mechanics throughout the game for the best quality possible.
Keep up the good work!
Edit: also hope you enjoyed your break. 100% understand working on Unturned full-time isn’t easy.
