Beginners > when to release a game?

I was just wondering, when is the best time to release a game?
I'm working on a game at the moment, its about half done, the gfx need a little work, and there is no sound yet.
Do people prefer to hear about a game that is in development, and perhaps give support and encouragment, or only find out about it when it is finished?

I don't talk about any game until it is finished - or I know I will definately finish it. The worst thing you can do is to advertise a game you later decide to discontinue before it is worth playing.
