Question when I should release Game Builds.

So, I have a question to ask you all. Now I'm focusing on coding the traps for the game, and I do plan on releasing an exclusive build for supporters that will show off most of the traps for the game, I have also been making some updates that would be featured in the showcase demo. Now on one hand I feel like I should maybe release the Set-of-Traps Build and/or the updated Showcase Demo in the coming days for the Tier 3 or Higher supporters and then to the 2 Tier supporters around near the end of the month. So, supporters will have a new build released this month.

The issue though is that both the Set-of-Traps Build and Showcase Demo lack much content. For the Set-of-Traps Build so far, I've been like 3 Platform traps made that I am still fixing bugs and polishing the systems, and for the Showcase Demo it mostly some character tweaks, the additional crouch animations, and at least for now a Controller Display on the top left corner of the screen. So yeah, not the most exciting thing at the moment.

So, another option I thought is maybe I hold off on releasing the build for my supporters until I have a few more traps coded in and they have a decent polish, this means you might not have a build to play this month, but around the start of February.

So my question is, do you want me to release a bare-bones Build in the coming days or you rather wait till it has some meat on it? Also, should I let you have early access to the update Showcase Demo despite it being a minor update or should I not bother and release it to the public very soon?
