Nonono, he'll release on Saturday, so that he gets another month of Patreon first. I doubt we'll get an actual delay message, since it's released 'this week'

Full? As in...complete game?
Game initial release here? 2017
What year is it now? 2023
Have we been even introduced to the 'end boss' [if we use usual game terms]? No.
So, that means we're not even at the mid-point from a story construction standpoint. Which means, at best, at current pace? 2029-2030?
Define "full" and "realistically".
If Crush ever actually tries to re-integrate with the life path version, and tries to make all the skills and shit from that matter, and actually introduces all the gameplay and story elements for Bangkok he's teased over time, but keeps up the tectonic pace of updates? Probably never, as in it seems more likely either Crush or HTML will reach end of lifetime than that the game gets completed before one of those two happens.
If he fully commits to cutting the life path, sticks with a simpler VN style game, forgets about optional hypnosis and the like, and finally figures out a way to actually pick up the develoment pace to deliver a scene/episode every 2 months? 2030, but realistically, that's all the pigs flying.
If we are talking full game finished release, realistically, never. It will either get rebooted, abandoned, or the idea cut drastically down and pushed out the door just so Crush can say he finished it. Just enjoy the ride if you can.
If you mean this release. I would guess April 1st since that strings around at least a few patrons for another month they might or might not have paid for otherwise.
The game is on it's... 3rd? incarnation. Each time, the game starts later, stats mean even less, some story elements get cut, but the story goes a bit further.
I'm expecting there won't be a final version till it gets once again rebooted and it starts on your first day at the bar. 1/2 the stuff that currently happens after that doesn't happen, even more simplistic avatar system, the choice between likes old men, promiscious and exhibitionist meaningless as you have no choice anymore as you're practically naked doing your job and have no choice but to be some fuck toy for the old man, and forced to be some sex slave for the brothel. Then one day he'll show up, they'll do the raid, you'll get extracted and game over.
Maybe not... but I don't think there is anyone holding thier breath.

It's not that type of game.
There (probably) won't be a 100% platinum achievement, crafting g-string skins / transmogs in endgame. (Probably) doubt we will be raiding the Bangkok Cafe and upgrading our piercings with gems.
There's already DLC-like content with the earlier life path stuff. So there's potentially no end to that.
There was a time, about a year plus ago, when a lot / (most?) people just wanted to get to Bangkok. So a lot (most?) are satisfied now.
But the content updates end, like every other game, when it is no longer financially viable.

FYI: 1.15 was about a year ago. The reboot, before getting to Bangkok, without the growing-up storyline and the current more linear progression was 1.12 in May 2021.
well uhhh...
the game is good and well written. But if it is not completed what is the reason to follow this such a game? I mean, the progress is very slow I don't know why.. Maybe it is not getting enough financial support to continue developing or something else?
He's pulling $6k per month, it's not the financial support lol
Presumably something else: it's getting too much support. He's making $6k a month off of fans who apparently think he's porn Jesus or something, no matter how little/late he delivers, so there's no real incentive to actually get his shit together and learn to write to
Hope it's at least good. I mean, overall it's always pretty good when it's released, the problem is that this episode supposed to be done in one month, not three. Not to mention previous update took 3 months more or something 
Not like it's ever been different with this game, unfortunately.

While Crush deserves a lot of the criticism this is just nonsense. Who gets to decide how long an update should take? Yes, he was severely behind schedule and has had a past of rather unfortunate delays, but saying that an update should take this or that much time is just entitlement. Quite frankly, he never delivered an update as fast as this one, I believe.

Those 2 reports from Crush are the culprit. If he tells us the side quests take less time and then the first one (Girls Night Out) takes 3-4 months and then he interjects a 'mini' setup episode that also takes 3 months he is setting the wrong expectations that people cling to.
