Is it announced release date or at least month of releasing update?
Short answer: we don't know.

A longer answer: The estimates given out of previous versions were exactly that - rough estimates - but were not perceived or treated as such by the community. Think of it like "its probably gonna be around mid of the month" and then everyone and their mother asks why it isn't there yet on the 15th. I mean, even i would say that the last update being delayed over and over was the fault of the developers, and the shit they got for it somewhat deserved.
But it's been bad every time, it didn't matter which update, and therefore they decided to not give out any more estimates unless they are really, really precise and easy to hit. Which means, we won't get any date unless its only days away.

So some of us think that it could be released end of february or march, but we do not know.

now that you metion it he could render his screenshots with an edit program like photoshop for example, i've looked for rendering Honey select but it dosent look like the rendering of waidu academy so that's why i got curious too on this
Honey Select has no extra rendering, everything is real time. You can compare it with modded Skyrim. There are many mods that change the look of the game directly and then you also have things like ReShade. Photoshop is probably also used at the end.

So whats the situation? Does anyone now anything? And what happened with the discord server of Waifu academy? I wasnt logged in for a while and now its gone for me.
Nothing new

And why its gone for you, my only guess is that WA Discord is Patron only, so there you have it

City of Broken Dreams Dev post : Now its been almost 2 months, about a week shy I think, but we are sitting at 599 renders with number 600 cooking while I am writing this. Along with that are now 39 animations
So the dev can manage so much in 2 months and the Waifu Academy for 6 can release wow with what 300 renders damm

I thought about that too. I was a patron for more than half a year, then i had to cancel it for personal financial reasons. Im glad that its not gone, thats all. When i have the possibility i would like to return being a patron ,cause i really like this game. Despite the relatively slow developing, but as lokng as we get a quality update im willing to wait even a year.

Sure, that's your opinion and I respect it because you're free to think whatever you want.

About the way I see your comment: Sorry but it seems to me that you're just another angry teenager complain because a dev doesn't work fast enough for you to have fresh fap material. Playing the messiah while saying things like "and loyal followers should awake after some time and see the trueth !!!" in a pirate porn forum... lol.

Now, if you aren't supporting him on Patreon: dude, shut up. It doesn't matter if he take 5 months or 5 years for an update, he's giving you a game for free while you give him nothing in return. You don't have any right to complain about how long he takes or how much he wins. If you actually are suporting him on Patreon and you want to "wake up" someone then sure, go ahead and keep complaining but I reaaaly doubt that this is your best way to "awake" players, and always have in mind that you (and all his patreons) are free to stop supporting him on Patreon, because nobody is forced to support him, every patreon if free to go whenever they want.

Lastly, if your problem really is about milking devs. You may want to start that discussion in a more general place like the General Discussion forum where you will reach more devs's supporters and not only Irphaeus's, or in bigger and worst games like Dual Family.
May i tell you shush?

Back in November the chap said he was 65% done with the update after working on it for less than 2 months. Over 3 months later and I guess that last 35% is proving a challenge...

Anyone else love this lazy bastard? Man his life must be easy.

Look, your comments bring nothing new to the table, so i'm just gonna copy-paste someone else's answer to that here:

We have talked this pattern to death far too many times. He takes time, he delivers, he is shit at time estimates and management. This is not an adult daycare center, crying gets you nothing. If you are a patron, contact him and the community, adress the issue. If you are not, get bent. Seriously. The only people he owes any kind of explanation to are his patrons.
Irphaeus greatest (and best documented, we have had this retarded fucking song and dance EVERY SINGLE UPDATE for the last 12 months) weakness is that he can't stop adding stuff. He just does not find good jump off points. He is neither lazy nor unstructured, he lacks discipline while executing his draft. I was exactly the same in my time at uni, while writing you can't help but think "hey that's a neat idea". Some brains just work that way. It happens. Still, he has ALWAYS delivered updates that were well worth the wait.
He has delivered a quality product, even if usually not on time, he keeps in contact with his patrons, he is open (to a worrying degree...) about issues and that alone lifts him well above 95% of the other guys on Patreon.

Could you elaborate on that? What big stick do you mean? That statement is so exceptionally weird and misplaced that find myself honestly curious.
The limit of your interaction with the creator is: You give him money or you don't. From your comments I extrapolate that you do not. That leaves you with the amazing total of no options at all. You can't even deprive him of a symbolic amount of cash per month. You are nothing in this scenario, no shame in admitting that.
On this forum? You are a horny pirate just like the all the others. Again, you are nothing. Again, there is no shame in that.
Being edgy here gets you nothing but ridicule, I don't understand the allure. Perhaps you can explain that one to me?
Or you go all the way to the summit of mount retard and go "I kno whur ur hous lif". In that case, please, proceed. I have not seen that in a while. I like drama, if you have not noticed. Its just that this middle level does nothing for me. Either go full ham or be constructive. You will likely be banned for the full ham route tho.

Waifu Academy fits a very particular niche, people happen to like it for that and are willing to put up with the wonky update schedule. I am obviously one of those who greatly enjoys what is on offer here, no point lying about it. It offers high quality renders, quite a bit of content, odd humor, and some truly nice aesthetics. As in, the characters are not only well rendered but very good looking and while they (of course) are unrealistically attractive, it never strays into anatomical bizarro world triple Z cup and 4' dongs. I have seen too many truly hideous goblins gloriously rendered, and that is more off putting than anything.
Bottom line, there is a lot to like here, and the one objective flaw (the others mostly being personal, subjective "not for me" kinda quibbles) in the project, the schedule, has been pointed out countless times. Please, contribute. Constructively.

I really really don't understand how that has not sunken in after 400+ pages.

I'm tired of hearing the same thing; Fork up you have a voice, You don't pay? Why even speak?
I don't pay. Why should I? to encourage six month updates? The champ does good work, but it's all for not if you're forgotten.
