I can be completely wrong here as always, but from what i've read on this forum, this seem to be the timeline of the past months to me:
April: the patch is almost ready, but it bled into may.
May: the patch seems ready, but the next update would be the repeatable scenes that have lots of modifications, but no story progression, so they decide to get that done first before 0.12 is released.
July: they bit more than they can chew and the repeatable scenes proved to be more difficult than they anticipated. They probably expected it to take time, that's why we didn't get a release deadline in may, but something else apparently went wrong too.
August: according to
psychohunter96's post they are now trying to cut out the parts that they couldn't get to work yet to finally push out the patch. But still no release date.
I know that this is something that they haven't done yet and since i can't code i have no idea how complex it is to do modular scenes either. But this 7 months long back and forth is quite the scene. I'll have to see the patch itself and how much of both the original content and the repeatables are in it to form an opinion on that front, but the planning and execution has been poor.
For now i suggest that when the next patch drops, we play through it, discuss it and then spend a few months with creating new jokes, because even tho "which year" and "the date was the real deception" is now fix part of this thread, i really think we need something new.
