Solid dates are impossible, unless you purposely far overshoot your expected date of completion due to the high (if not given) chance that there will be a major bug that is difficult to solve.

xpadmin has stated that 3.0 will be released this year though.

@tomten & others

I understand that insight in what we are doing is needed, especially for donators/pledgers.
I have tried to do that as much as possible but it cannot hurt to add some extra info.

The tentacle story itself is finished.
We are currently working on the dungeon "fast sex" scene.

The tentacle story is very nice, but it does not allow to show all the new possibilities that we have added to the engine.
In the story the girls need to stay at a certain place for example in order for the story to work.
So not all interaction you would like is possible without hurting the story itself.

The dungeon scene however will give you a lot of freedom to interact with the girl in a closed environment.
We were not planning to build the dungeon scene at first. But because a lot of features like the combining motion capture and physics can be shown best here we felt we needed to this as well.

The dungeon scene will also be more of a template for modding since you can more easily add new features to it, or derive new "fast sex" scenes from it.
You can choose what kind of mood the girl is in (she is happy to be in the dungeon, eager, not happy etc).
It has an SM undertone (so it may not be everyone's cup of tea). But it is actually pretty fun to play even if you do not like SM.

Like a lot of things we have added, we were not planning to add them in first instance.
Its more like: "Hey someone on the forum says it would be nice if the girls could pee themselves". We think, yes that would be a nice extra feature, and one day later they can.
That is also why it has proven to be very difficult to place an exact date on the release. We know we are getting really close, but then suddenly a bug or issue arises that we need to address and takes more time. But rest assure, version 3.0 will be definitely be released this year (for pledgers and donators).

Hope this clarifies things somewhat.
