At this point, he should just hire girls and shoot photos, you can make 1000+ photos a day like that. Is it a good idea by the way? I mean, instead of rendering, just hire actresses to build the story?

I've lurked here since the spring and this is my first post for this game. While i pledge to a few smaller games, personally i would not pledge to Icstor. I've read a lot of posts here (good and bad regardless if true or not) and mostly if not all of Icstor's developer notes and I can't help but feel a little off about this 0.6 update and the way its playing out.

I am not a game developer but I do sell my own graphic designs to customers and one thing I would not do is delay something with the intent of adding additional content on the basis of goodwill (ie adding neighbors to compensate for being inactive). Doing that does 2 things from a creator's standpoint, 1) Grants you additional time to finish up content not related to the new content because you know you're behind schedule, and 2) Further delays the end product because you promised new content that you haven't even started on. If it were me, basing this on how I determine timelines on my own work, I would have released the promised content and pushed the neighbors content to a future update (not even necessarily the following update).

I'm not saying Icstor hasn't started on the neighbors content when he announced the additional content, I'm just pointing out that based on the screenshot in discord today, he isn't putting a lot of attention on it given the time constraints he gave himself as that content is so minimal. I can't help but feel he is being a tiny bit dishonest because given the amount of work he set himself up for, it feels like he only just started on the neighbor content in the last month. However, he say the reason for the delay saying his rendering tool is malfunctioning. Whether its true or not, I can't help but notice he has 7k patreons and months upon months including the delays in development. That's not much of an excuse. He has more than enough in donations to acquire more than amicable tools to complete renders in a timely manner. I personally have professional grade tools to do my work (ie High-end PC, programs, art tablets, 3d and poster printers) and I make only a fraction of what Icstor makes via patreon. Granted, I do my work as a hobby and not my primary source of income.

While I'm sure Icstor is working to complete the update, I'm inclined to believe he isn't going has hard on it as he says he is. But thats just my 2 cents, what do I know? lol

Assuming all 7k of those pledges are just doing one dollar just in a single month that should instantly be enough money to get a beast ass comp. Even if you took bills and other stuff into account you'd be able to get everything you'd need within 3 months. Considering he does this full time, thus his income is reliant on it common sense should tell you that's literally the first thing you need to invest in. Really there shouldn't be any excuse as to why he'd have under-performing hardware.

This guy just seems like the type that tries stringing patreon supporters on as long as he can doing the minimalist amount of work. It'd be like having a complete patch done but then lying the entire time and only releasing a quarter of it every 6 months. Seems like that dude has a ton of excuses. So we either have to make the argument he's grossly incompetent OR he's BSing and milking patreon supporters. Granted, I can't blame him. If I had 7 thousand mindless idiots not only putting up with the milking but defending me for milking them I'd take my sweet time too.

He averages about 5 bucks per patron, so if he has 7000, that's 35k per month. For 25k you can have the render box from hell, complete with a full suite of software and character models, all bought legitimately. He can afford that, plus an animator, coder and even someone to contribute the occasional music track, set up a website with detailed progress tracker, etc. You know, like Dark Cookie does. Say what you will about Summertime Saga, they are pretty damn transparent.

The big problem with the Icstor isn't to apologize when the release is delayed.
The problem with ICSTOR is that he keeps putting some deadlines that he pretty much knows that he'll not fulfill. If he was more transparent, probably people weren't so annoyed.

What is the story here? Has he actually posted that there will be no update this month?
