Who give the ''smart idea'''to add neighbors in the update instead of releasing it in June?
Icstor because the update wasnt finished (fuck it was barely "started") while the release time was approaching and had to come up with an excuse to delay it 4 more months to start working on it. Also apparently the ugly ass kid that looks like a trap is his favorite character somehow from what I have read? So probably that too.

He continues to harp on the size of the update but had he kept to it to Caroline and Celia, it would already be released and he could've pushed out a neighbors update after with there being no marked difference in the end release date. That is, the neighbors part would be out in early October and the state of the game would be the same. If anything, considering how much the size of the update seems to be causing problems, it likely would've been faster.

The idea of making the update bigger to sort of try to "make up" for the delay never made sense to me anyway.

I'm not even surprised... as soon as Caroline's update is done., ICSTOR will announce the first release of his next game... Milfy Planet. And while it's understandable that people can be buened out by their work... a crashing software is a bad excuse when you have years of experience, and resources enough to have a remedy for a hiccup like that... and maybe patreons should consider who they support because ICSTOR doing nothing but messed up renders of Bob in heels is not an isolated case...where's GumDrop's update? In Nederland..
In the meantime there are developers like DPC, Nottravis, Philly_Games and others releasing magnificent updates, polished updates on a quite-regular schedule.
I'm not saying ICSTOR is milking his supporters but... this is the tenth (?)delay for this update and he does that because he can. He knows people are so obsessed with Caroline that they will stand in line to get ass fucked by Tiny, just so they could get their cursor on the choice to sleep rape her. And ICSTOR knows it.

Why is the game so much dialogue? Is this a porn game or a novel?
For example, in the arch of strangers is 280 renders and only 6 000 WORDS! That's about 21 words on render!
Do he replay in the Melody or Being a Dik?
I've noticed this myself. Porn games have entirely too much dialogue. It's one thing to tell a story, but we aren't read a 1000 tales or arabian nights. We are trying to jerk it to render characters on a screen. I usually just end up skipping the dialogue and trying to find a spolier free walkthrough.

Wait, is this for real? Have people been getting charged this whole time??
He said he'd pause his Patreon during his break. He accidentally (or convinently?) missed pausing it before payments went through in April even though he announced it in mid March and had about two weeks to pause it.
People were not charged in May so there is that.
And at this point there were so many delays, each accompanied by a statment of "you'll get the update even if you canel your patronage now" that I think anyone is eligible to get the update if they pledged somewhere between March and now. We'll see how this will work.

Crazy part about all of this is if Icstor decides to push this back another month or two and say the reasoning is to combine the 0.7 update but it'll be less content for those characters, the majority here will be upset some of his patrons will be upset but the vast majority of his cult following will praise him for such an ingenious idea telling him to take as much time as he needs and that it's not his fault. Meanwhile while all that's happening there's other devs with less support either,

A) Finishing up their game and starting on their next project.

B) Released mutiple fleshed out updates that add story, character development and scences all while improving.

But I digress at the end of the day our words are pointless because thousands will continue to support a dev while having arguably the best renders not so much in the story and character side of things and I feel you need to at least try to hit those three if you want to proclaim a game as being the best.

So it is true what people said about him just milking money from fans.

Personally he can work on it as long as he requires since his releases have been at least for me without any bugs or game breaking crashes. I always played the first version and not b, c which got released later on.

What i am curious about is that he writes about bringing the game to "the newer version of Renpy". Couldnt he have done that after releasing the 0.6? I am not knowledgeable about this stuff but old version of a software should still work without it requiring the new version.

It is in a visual novel format. I guess that might count for someone. I agree though. Not to knock on developers who work hard on a lot of different aspects on their games, they can't be great at all of them.

Most of them stink in the writing department. They're not writers, plain and simple. At best you get a comprehensive english with minimal typos and some cliché dialogue that works well enough (MIlfy City for exemple). The most common issue though is way too many words to say very little. And worse sometimes, focusing on uninteresting, unimportant detail.

I often use the skip button out of boredom or annoyance.
