This is more for my curiosity - Isn't the script completed before the renders? Or did Damage have a change of heart with the previous script after the renders were done?

No. Many artist start to work on renders first based on their ideas/inspiration. While they setup the environment and characters, the scene plays out in their mind. They will write down notes, what the scene is about and what the dialogues could be. The bigger your team is the faster you can start with the writing process, while the artist works on renders for the next scene. Here is where often problems occur. Artist like to go back and adjust a previous scene to make it fit with their idea for a new scene. Then the writer has to adjust this scene too. If you have an external writer, whom you pay per words, then you will wait until you finished most of your renders and send the person full batch of renders with instructions. Here is another point where problems occur. You have take into account: Language barrier, different time zones, personal time, etc. of the writer. From my personal experience, working with a French speaker, I can tell you that notes are not easy to decipher and sometimes their ideas for dialogues or screenplay is - simply put - horrible. In a well-balanced team the situation is a bit better. Together you will start to outline your ideas for an update with all scenes and choices and make sure that everything is coherent with previous updates and choices. However, the bigger your game gets and the more choices with branches you have, the fragile it becomes for problems.
He didn't like the first draft of dialogues the writer presented to him and asked him to redo them.

With his nth delays, he could have released the update as an alpha version explaining that dialogues will be revised for final version
Yes I completely agree, f95 is gradually getting toxic day by day, and this is due to both sides being toxic to each other, if our discourse is taken as an example, this kind of conversation is constructive, as it clears out certain differences in opinion without useless name calling and shaming. I love Coda's work and have immense respect for each and every artist on this forum(Except a few) I still hope he is able to deliver everything he promised with this update. So, In my humble opinion it would be a much pleasant environment if both sides could be civil and not toxic to each other, and if they choose to battle toxicity with toxicity they are not any better and should not pretend to be.
And I knew it was rhetorical, my post was a general response, to other people questioning my intention with the last post.
Thank you for reading through my entire post and replying.
you have a great day/night too.

And he should do that because....?
Don't get me wrong I know were you are coming from and understand the reasons behind it, but I can't see how an alpha release would fix the situation without causing new problems. Only to please a handful of inpatient fans on a pirate forum while the majority of paying supporters don't care? Mmmh... not sure about this.
I'm not a patron of his and will get the game, probably same as you, from here. Personally I don't mind the wait and don't care about all the announced update dates, because there are tons of other games to play while waiting. Well... sucks to be a patron, but as said, I'm not one.
P.s.: Playing an alpha release and ending butchering my saves afterwards? Not a big fan of it.

I didn't say he "should have" but "could have", to respect his self-imposed deadline.And he should do that because....?

Anyway I think it's headed to the abandoned tag sooner or later. I don't see the game completed one day, I hope I'm wrong for the fans

All this hustle and bustle could've been avoided if only dev was honest about his work and said game would be available when it's ready instead of going back and forth between release dates.

lesson learnt eh DamagedCoda ? No more stating release dates until you are 100% positive. Until then your reply should be "I am working on it. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your support."
