I hope you can understand our frustration. WWG first promised it’d be out IN January, and then he said middle of feb, which was 10 days ago. Now he’s promised by this weekend, which either means Saturday Sunday, or anytime before. Me personally, I would’ve just pushed it back to late February if it was taking this long, and also just make the chapters generally shorter, so updates are more consistent. WWG has felt the need to repeatedly outdo himself every chapter, and while I love that, it’s now been nearly a year since chapter 10, and update sizes are getting unbearably large.
I could be wrong but I don't know if WWG ever promised anything. I know he threw out some times when we can hopefully expect it, but a promise is a whole different thing entirely. It'll be six months in a few days since chapter 10 was released. That's not too bad at all, especially when compared to other quality games being developed. I used to play DIK and City of BD, but those updates are seriously once a year. They are really high quality games, but with everything, it's hard to stay at such a high level for such a long period of time. WWG is the tops IMO.

Find me the post where he said only January. I'll find you the post where he said it could be January to February.

January first status update

Now your turn. Take a screenshot where he says it will be out in January.

So... push the date back... like it's happening right now?

The release IS consistant. It's taking about 6 months on average to get a chapter out.

WWG has felt the need to repeatedly outdo himself every chapter, and while I love that, it’s now been nearly a year since chapter 10, and update sizes are getting unbearably large.
What are you saying? The CH10 released in August. That makes it only 6 months since last release.

Pardon me if I'm wrong but wasn’t ch10 released back in 17th of June? That'd make it 8 months.
Yeah, i'm remembering a patreon thing that made him re-release a chapter. I guess that was chapter 10. Any proof of the old release is erased to keep patreon happy, so you're probably right. Though i want to say CH 9 took 7 months, but that post is gone too. So 1 month increase for every release being 50% larger then the last is still good in comparison.

I know it won't make the impatient happy, but if CH 12 comes out to 9 months wait time but 50% bigger then CH 11, the trade off is statistically good. Though people won't like waiting.

How long after the beta do we get the full release?
No official day. Just "releases when it's ready". That could mean once the Beta testers stop finding errors, he builds the gallery and anything else he does. It's an asap thing for the first official. The second official tier gets it 3 days after the first official tier.

"Promise" is a strong word. WWG is smart enough not to make such promises.

To be fair, in that screenshot from 1/1, WWG alludes to having "predicted months ago" a January release. Of course, emphasis on "predicted", which again is very different from "promised".

"Looking like" is a weak promise, but yeah. That prediction was made in October. Way before he could have honed in on how close a release would actually be.

I, too, am eager for this release, then another release then a quick break, and then another. I share your pain and excitement. I feel you, homie. I feel you.

6 month is enough...why not wait for 2 years?

I dont think its the waiting that people dont like, but the missing deadlines. He is a great dev, i wish he was a bit more pessimistic with the dates so that he delivers early or on time.
Agreed, as I said earlier, an uncertain date is the biggest test of patience and the biggest blow to enthusiasm is blowing us off, as CDPR did with the release of Cyberpunk 2077, in which case people are more likely to accept a later date that can be achieved.

Jeez, i never understand people who complain about waiting for updates it's as if they have nothing else to play or do, many of them aren't even subscribed to patreons so they don't lose anything waiting, plus each update of this game is better and bigger so it's worth the wait

and as for the missed deadlines, we have to understand that we are all human including the devs, they can be wrong and they will probably have their own problems irl, so I don't judge
