Kept you waiting, huh. So after thinking for two seconds about the demo rollout plan I've realised that it simply won't work with the way I intended to do it, due to how RMMV loads databases at launch and adding new items/etc simply won't work quite right, so I've got a new plan:

1. Ensure the game is playable start to finish. This means adding all the necessary maps but not finishing them, adding all the enemies and items, etc. The databases will be tweaked and fixed later
2. Clean up for demo 1, playtesting
3. Same again for demo 2
4. Final release

The basic premise is I want to ensure saves can carry over from demo 1 to demo 2, but maybe not into the full game, haven't decided yet. I'll probably also do a final "demo 3" which is just the full game start to finish for playtesting purposes too. I'm going to actually try and commit to at least getting the "whole playable state" complete within the next couple months. Will likely start posting screenshots or maybe even videos at some point soon if I can get everything finalised as well.

Only took 2.5 years to get here.
