Is it really that unexpected? This happens pretty much every update. This is not a diss towards the developer. It's not a visual novel. It's a 3D game, and even the simplest 3D game is gonna have bugs. The developer knows this. Anyone with half a brain knows this.
There's gonna be bugs that only get noticed when you're almost finished and naturally you have to troubleshoot those otherwise there's gonna be that one dipshit who comes in and complains that the game is literally unplayable and starts screaming random bullshit until a moderator has to come in and shut that dipshit down. After that, the first version is released to the people and then there's another 2-3 weeks of bug reporting and fixing.
Rule of thumb, when a developer provides a release date? You add at least another 2-3 weeks on top of that because bugs.
yeah, I known, I just so excited for the update, I known make a game is not the easiest work, obviously is more difficult being the only person of the project, I just sad :,D, but I hope everything is fine, I also think he made that decision to avoid dissatisfaction with the people who do pay him.
This is not a commentary bothering Poolside, and I don't try to annoy anyone, sorry for my English.
