I simply don't know the estimate ratio between the $1 patrons and the $10+ patrons. I initially thought he could be making 1M+, but then that would be assuming that there are only very small number of $1 patrons.


That's definitely good amount of money. If he can keep up the good work, it's definitely paying off for him.
Mostly devs have about 5usd per patreon he can have slighthly more maybe 8. I was calculating with 5.

ICSTOR's average was always above 8$.
But even at $10 average, that's only about $500k (which is what I estimated on my initial question). Considering you said it was a pessimistic estimate, are you suggesting that his average is $20+ for $1M+ yearly income?

No, the actual money he HAD earned is probably below that if look at what he really earned, for example last annual year. I was simply considering the fact that there was no significant drop in his patronage beside the usual spikes and if we take the 6000 pledgers as a baseline then his earning (from that point on) will be more than 500k after a year.

I just hope that this amount of money will dissuade him from just wrapping up the project prematurely.

Exactly. And i think his average went above 9$ by now. Pledger base tripled since then, when it was below 9$, and assuming that significant portion of that went into the $10 pool i'm assuming its above 9$.
Whatever he earns is way above "not bad" land :LOL:

One question that I've always had it in my head : Icstor works all by himself or he have a whole studio team which he work together in his project ? I 'm not speaking about just a proofreader , i'm asking if he had some specific figure like for example a coder , or some art and visual developer ....

Considering the jump in quality from previous games and frequency before the hiatus it would be a good bet there are more people involved as most other developers that we know have teams did not have ither the quality and quantity per update.

Its quite funny to read people getting all envious over Icstor potential earnings at the same time bashing him for not delivering ,altough i see its quite likely patreons are being milked , most people bitching are not paying and the ones that do ,do that on their own will. On the other hand revenue adds to incentive to get it done.

There's at least a coder and a writer helping him. The latter (Onyxdime) even posts in this thread from time to time, well at least he did before this thread went completely down the drain.

Tks for your answer . I can completely understand Onyxdime , this is not at all the best Thread in which is possible to communicate ( just to use an euphemism) . One more question , if you can help me , Icstor have link for Discord where it's possible to join ? or it's only for Patron users ?

It Was not enough to get him to do a June release it seems. Amazing that people Subbed him during this vacation. I know his cgs are the best. But real porn is way better so I do not get it. Pay 1-50 bucks a month for.....? This is actually quite interesting from a what makes people tick perspective.

Our Lord and Savior ICSTOR is testing us to see if you are truly patient and deserving of salvation.

It's "stucked" at 65% because video game development is not something you can really quantify with a numerical percentage. At literally any time something can come along and completely ruin your progress. Have some goddamn patience, it's just porn.
