Well, one of the reasons is because there just isn't much to talk about. It would basically amount to "This week, I did a bunch of programming, some of it was really frustrating, and I made more content. I wish I was going faster."
And when it comes to updates in the form of the demo, even though a lot of the new content is relevant to the demo (the beginning of the game), I don't want it to be one of those situations were content keeps getting added, and people keep replaying the demo to see it. It messes up the difficulty curve and the player's perception of the game a bit, if they replay the beginning so many times. I'd much rather that players go into the final game or demo, and get completely caught off guard by what I've added.
That aside, I feel like I may literally just refund everyone who pre-ordered Noaika, once it's released (they would still get it, obviously). The whole situation just makes me feel really awful. On one hand, I feel like I can finally put the time and effort into a game without being too concerned about money for a while, and yet there's the constant feeling that I'm not going fast enough, like I'm betraying everyone who bought it.
Add to that, there's always some stuff I do that ends up not working out, or that I had to go back and fix, but it still takes up time. So the notion that 100% of the time went towards the adding content that's in the game creates even more pressure.
The day I release Noaika will be the biggest relief of my life -___-
Just letting you know in case you want to close that.
