Don't know exactly what is finished or not, but the current progress indicator shows 45% done scenes and renders. And since 0.085 was released on august 23rd, we will see 0.09 first in december.

I can't comprehend the logic of people who are voting for "I'm OK with waiting a little longer for the full update 0.09 with all events."
Imagine this is another real-life situation. Imagine it's a paycheck. Your boss comes to you and says, "Would you like your paychecks given weekly, or every other week." If given weekly they will be half as big, but twice as often. Do you tell your boss, "Every week" or "Ever other week" I would 100% go with every week.
What are drawbacks of every week? Maybe you gotta go to the bank (download) twice as often? Big deal. You can skip a week and pickup the 2 week check instead if you want. Having 0.0875 released very soon does not delay 0.09 release at all.
The fact that it's like 3 to 1 in favor of a longer delay is messed up. Are that many people that stupid? A half release now does not mean you will get a full release any sooner. Nor does it mean you must download this half release. You can choose to opt out of that if you want, but do not let others get that update when they want it now is a dick move for sure. It doesn't hurt you any to let others half the half update now.
It's like you are at a restaurant. And they say "Would you like the option to have appetizers?" and you come in like "Fuck you nobody can have appetizers. Main courses only. You may not serve appetizers to anyone I don't give a fuck how hungry they are! " Dick move by those 367 people.
More frequent releases does not mean you must download it more. It simply means others have the chance to do so. You can download this every 6 months if you wish. There are plenty of games I skip a few updates fori if they are only giving small content per update.
