The upcoming update better be the best update of an adult game that has ever been released. Seriously, we're five days away from it being 10 months since the last update. No matter how you slice it, that is appalling.
Before anyone decides to bash me, I know ICSTOR first released a special Christmas Episode, then took a break between March and June for about two, two and a half months, and that this has caused much of the delay. But considering he was at 30 % completion at January 30th, he would have had five months to finish the update, excluding the break. Hell, he could even have taken an extra two months worth of holiday and still have had three months to finish that remaining 70 %, a time he claims to usually be able to finish a 100 % in. In total, he has spent about 7 months on this update.
The maths don't work out. Even including the break and the Christmas Episode, there is no reason for the delay to be this significant, other than the update being extremely good and packed with content. That's why I say that this better be the best update we have ever witnessed. I'm talking at least 5 hours of game time, and serious progress in the routes he worked on for this route. I expect 4-5 sex scenes with Caroline, maybe even anal, same type of numbers for Celia, and time to get very well acquinted with the neighbours.
I might get backlash for this comment, but I don't care. Maybe you think I should be more tolerant, and less demanding with my expectations, but it's as I said; a total of around seven months worked on an update better equate to something mega.
(Also, I have been a $10 patron of ICSTOR since November, so I'm not just some bitter freeloader that complains without supporting the developer).
