Raliv does give days they want to do an update. So they should at least stay close to that.
Even so he is solo deving this game while balancing personal life so trying to stay close to the date he is shooting for is a big ask.
Both valid opinions, but, ultimately, what happens happens. It'll come when it comes.
It would be nice to see it this month. He did say something about an update last month. Though I might be misremembering.
If he thinks he can get things done by that day, than that's his responsibility. If he thinks he can't, than it would be better to just finish the update and then announce a date.
