It looks like the public version will be released this Friday since, apart from a few minor issues and an incompatibility with the new version of Ren'Py, the game works the way it should.
We're just a few days away from the 0.18 release! We just need a few animations and we'll be releasing the beta very soon, either at the end of this week or early next week, so we ask for a little more patience.
