Ren'Py Completed Milfy City [v1.0e] [ICSTOR]

[Trapezio]

im not explaining what others have done more that 100 times already, if you want you can read old post about this since this is already explained.
You/others can think whatever the hell you want and are free to put this game in your ignore list, however coming here asking people to drops their pledge and making lies is not welcome and can be warned by this fórum moderators, as i said people are free to just ignore the thread but dont come here to slash shit at a dev when you guys dont even know anything.

I think you're imagining things, dude. I just pointed out when updates came out: it's crystal clear what was his working schedule time and that something must have happened in the beginning of 2019.

Anyway, I think I've had enough of seeing that every damn thread has people who think that their favourite porn game's developer is a FAULTLESS hero/saint and whoever complains about anything related to the game is a fucking asshole whatever and whenever he writes on it.

Moreover, you should realize that almost every Patreon funded porn game you can find here is going to be/will be abandoned/unfinished. My HD is FULL of unfinished Patreon funded porn games, you know.

There are 4023 games here. How many Patreon funded games here have been finished / are regularly updated?

There obviously gonna be a lot of abandoned games from patreon since patreon is the main platform that all these developers can get known and make a living out of creating games. And because of that reason the competition rises and a lot of those devs stop because they don't make enough money (usually) to make it their work or for some other reason. So saying that most patreon based games are abandoned is wrong because you don't factor the fact that most devs are starting from patreon. Also specifically about icstor even though a lot of people say he rushed his last games and finished them quickly you have to factor in other things like the decrease of his patreon the last months those games where developed. If as a dev you see that a big chunk of your followers stop supporting you understand something is wrong. So judging the fact that his next game is on ren'py and that most big games are also on ren'py he rushed the games so that he can change platform and make his next game more accessible. Last year when those games where developed he had about 1000 patreons while developing two games. This year he has almost 6000 patreons and one of the reasons is the change to ren'py. So you can understand why he would want to rush the other games.

Somebody help me understand the rationale behind this ongoing "developer is a good guy/bad guy" debate:

Serialized retail games, developed by hundreds of people on salaries and with high-quality tools, take years to develop and cost $60 USD a whack, not including "release" versions, companion toys, etc. and people (largely) accept this model. And this doesn't even include loot boxes, paid DLC and all of the other accouterments which can raise the life-time total of a 3-game series to over $500 USD.

And yet here we are, arguing about something that most people aren't going to pay for at all or, even for those that do, paying a buck a month. Does it really matter, in the overall scheme of things if the dev returns or not? I like this game more than a lot of retail games and would like to see it taken to the next level of completeness but...come on...is this really the biggest issue that we have in our lives?

So...help me understand the emotional investment that some of you have in this debate.

This thread makes my head hurt.

The down side of a long break is that it can kill your motivation to finish a project, especially if you lose track or focus of where you were going with it before you took a break. It's hard to just pick up where you left off. I think there is a good chance for a rushed ending after the dev returns.

Im from the future,in next few days he will update us with good news and everyone will be happy atlast.

I'm also from the future. People are still complaining!

What's the fucking meaning of this argument? A fact is a fact. Fact is: most of Patreon games are abandoned. Period.

Also specifically about icstor even though a lot of people say he rushed his last games and finished them quickly you have to factor in other things like the decrease of his patreon the last months those games where developed.

So what? Quoting myself: " I've had enough of seeing that every damn thread has people who think that their favourite porn game's developer is a FAULTLESS hero/saint "

 

[Deleted member 15555]

you know what is also a fact? something my mother did tell me "if you ignore them and just act like they dont exist, they just will go away" ...
i never did that in college since i liked kicking ass but in a fórum that is a good tactic.
Peace

 

[sucklamator]

Who said i think he is "FAULTLESS hero/saint". Be that as it may i also am tired of people without knowledge about what is going on with the creator or the game that bitch about it all the time. You can judge his past as much as you want but it won't change the fact that as of right now the game is not abandoned he continues it and you basically call him out about past things. If he abandones this one we can talk again until then you speak about the past.

I've been away since around mid-late April, and came back in here about a week ago.
(I was in to Hospital for some much needed surgery and am now undergoing rehab for at least the next 3-4 months)

And I see the same type of "snarkey and snidey(?)" Q&A's are still going back and forth, along with some normal Q&A's too,over this game. So it would seem that nothing's changed, apart from a few legit update comments taken from Discord, and Patreon too, with regards to this game.

I'm not getting into the why's and wherefore's of who's right and who's wrong, suffice to say that I'm jut going to sit back and wait. After all I've got time aplenty for now on my hands.


So trolls and keyboard warriors beware.

The argument is that if there was another site for devs it would be that site the reason a lot of games where abandoned. Devs will abandon games whether you like it or not wether they are on patreon or not. It's the way indie development works.

The possible causes of the possible abandonment of the game milfy city are very clear.
But I think there is also another possible reason: currently the number of visitors to the game are about 12 million and considering that of 50 visits 1 single person can download, after those who download there is a 1/100 rat to make contributions (US $5, on average), because they were at ease and hoping for updates 12 000 000*(1/50*1/100)*($5)= $12 000 dollars.
Which I think is quite a gain for a SINGLE for a few months of dedication.

How do you know its an one man OP ? considering how big the updates were ,generaly 3-4 times that of most other developers + much higher level , and we know many developers utilise team work.Its quite likely guy had hired hands at work especialy considering how much the quality and quantity increased over his previous games , does he need to advertise that ? No.

Honestly , i hope game continues to be updated but also have no illusions it might not . In any case non Patrons realy have no reason to bitch around as many do on this thread.

This made me have a funny thought. Obviously these developers spend so much time on these games and make so much money that you can safely assume that it's their main source of income and probably their only job (it's a pretty awsome job let's be fair)

How do you explain what you do for a living to people? like friends, parents, romantic partners?

Say your mum asks you "hows work?", or you're on a date and the girl says "So what do you do for work?" "Oh I make porn games about a kid fucking his mother and sisters" can't imagine that goes down too well!

It's not like you can lie either, you couldn't keep up the fasade forever.

Personally, I'd be telling half truths, such "yeah I develop visual novels/indie games" and avoid having to answer anything more specific about the games you work on. So I think it all depends on how long you can go without explain the details to the people that ask.
