Not sure how often the developer reads these posts either, but I feel like, personally, if bugs and such are a major issue with the size of the game, would releasing them in chapters not be a viable option to then be able to start a fresh without these compiling bugs? E.g, we have a supposed chapter 1, now finished. New release, chapter 2 as an entirely clean release? I dunno, just my thoughts on the matter if it saves time with bugs.
Of course, the bugs in the current version still need to be addressed as the new content isn't even accessible beyond the dream scene.
