Are you serious? He’s made plenty of “deadlines”, like actual hard dates and missed like a dozen of them. It’s not about shooting himself in the foot, the real thing is that Enyo clearly has a plan for the updates that he fills followers in on, he just gets extremely lazy during the production process. He thinks he’s capable of completing work way more efficiently then he actually is. When he announces release dates, he probably sets the dates thinking that if just spends like 8 hours each day working without distractions he can finish. In reality, he probably has hardly spent even 1 days worth of time working on the update by the day of supposed release. His level of procrastination is almost like a disease, and in all honesty, he should probably see a specialist or therapist to help rehabilitate that habit.
I don't think this is totally accurate. I'll go point by point.
1st bold: I don't think he has a plan. Or at least he doesn't stick to it. Why? He has reworked this game many, many times. At one period a couple years ago pretty much every new update was just a rework. He is indecisive, which is why I said he shoots himself in the foot. He adds stuff he didn't plan on adding. He removes stuff. He reworks stuff. All the time. So, if he has a plan, he doesn't follow it consistently. There used to be a roadmap on Discord, but he never got around to updating it after all the reworks so it got removed.
2nd bold: I definitely agree that he thinks he can be more efficient than he actually is. And this is also why he shoots himself in the foot. I knew there was a 0% chance he'd made the 25th deadline, I highly doubt he makes this new one either.
3rd bold: I do agree that he procrastinates, but I don't agree that he spends that little time on the game before a deadline. I think his indecisiveness and procrastination play off each other. It goes back into the previous points, he doesn't have a plan or doesn't stick to it and he is very inefficient. Combine that with his artistic perfectionism and you get what we get.
