I wish I could make complete releases, but I couldn't make a living as a developer with it and wouldn't be able to do it as full time developer. After all people will only support your work when they know they like it and not while waiting for it to be released.
Unless you're making something after you've done at least two games and are well known.
But for that kickstarter would be a considerable choice.

Assuming I haven't missed you or that you can even answer, would you be able to give an estimation to how big a chapter is?
It's hard to give a proper answer considering that every player takes a different time to play through a chapter.
But all chapters are supposed to have a same avarage size.
So 1 hour to 1 and half hour playtime for the normal player.

Should be about 1 hour worth of content according to what the devs have said before.

Considering what I've read here and seen on their Patreons I have my own theory, but since I'm not a regular here or anything I'll just go and leave the debate for those who follow the development closely. This game looks gorgeous and hopefully there'll be a v.0.2 soon.

Apart from the fact that dev's percentages are one of the least reliable estimates out there - not because dev's are cheating and nobody can control it (may be true in some cases though), but because many things are unpredictable, both in software development and in creativity - the basis of your statement (continuously 80% for four months) is just false. But in these times where people like their alternative facts I guess that's par for the course.
But the main point is: I may even agree that it is prudent to wait for the first update to gauge what happens here, because we don't know. But you don't know either. You just throw vague ideas around, which may even be correct, but then, as wolfypack431609 correctly stated, it would be prudent to leave the thread and shut up. The moment you know something we don't, please tell us, but nobody is interested in your conjecture from facts we all know.
Have there been any update previews of this VN since its initial release 4 months ago in April?

As far as I'm aware, the devs haven't discussed any specific story beats or shown off any renders from the new update.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the reply!
also RustyRug why are you facepalming me bro? I'm not asking an extraordinarily odd or controversial question, most VNs tend to show preview pics before their updates, so I was curious if this VN did too.
Even with renders though an update may never come. Look at Dual Family.
I'm not going to speculate too much about how other people might be thinking, but I imagine they are taking the time to make sure 0.2 is extremely good, knowing how well received 0.1 was at release. They set a very high bar and want to make sure it's a really great update because they know they have a game that can project well commercially long-term. But a very poor 0.2 can stifle that momentum while a good one only accelerates that trajectory so one wants to be sure it's good. Chances are the time it takes will be worth it.

If the next update is as good as the first release, I'm more than happy to wait.

I read back through their posts, they stated back in May that they'd be uploading preview renders but I'm not sure which of their uploads are previews and which are just wallpapers unrelated to the story. But the story itself for Chapter 2 hasn't been detailed in their progress updates, only how much of it they've finished.

There hasn't been any preview renders for the 0.2 update, only 4K wallpapers.

Forgot this game existed. Last update was a long time ago.
