In IceFrog's latest blog, he has posted another development update of the next patch. This time, he has confirmed the appearance of new loading screen which will be included in DotA 6.69. Also, the development for next patch is progressing nicely likely to be finished in near future, he added.
There is a new loadscreen in the works right now. It will most likely be included in the next update.
Dota 6.69 development has also been progressing nicely. I'm not sure exactly when it will be finished just yet, but I'm aiming for something in the near future. I will post another update when it is closer.
If there's anything you'd like to see in the new loadscreen, or any suggestions for 6.69 or DotA 6.70 in general, please let me know. It is always helpful when you guys email me your requests so that I can make sure the updates meet your expectations.
