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

[Alfius]

But will he?
I never was much of a fan of his before (I hated his RPGM games) but even back than it was impossible to not come along some of his games and news... and as far as I remember he NEVER did something like this last year EVER before.
His past reputation might be double edged in regards to finishing games with "Happy" Endings... but he never was suspected of milking his supporters or failing to actually deliver.

Maybe he will, maybe he won't, but why be upset about it?

It's past the stage where anything reasonable can be deducted from the last 11 months, since nothing really happened during that time. It is (to me) quite obvious that he has some burnout that he had to get away from.

There is 3 types of fans for this games.
1) Patreons that has been paying for the last 11 months - They are obviously OK with the current state of affairs
2) Patreons that are upset with him - Seriously, they are fools. I can not find it in my heart to feel sympathy for them,
3) Non paying fans - Why are we upset about this game. It's been 11 months?

Personally, I think he will come back and dev as per normal, maybe at a slower rate. I have found that the more money devs make, the slower the releases. Look at Dark Cookie, and Milfy City, even before his absence. Dr Pink Cakes is also releasing updates a slower rate and he was upfront about it. Nothin wrong with it. The devs want quality over qty and now have financial freedom to do just that.

I don't get why people are so upset!? This game has been without updates for almost a year now.
I can understand being upset after 3-4 months, but 11 months?

People that are Patrons after all this time, obviously, does not mind the delay and the ones that are still paying and complains are just fools.

The rest of us non payers (IMO) should just ignore this game until an update appears. It's like going to the Dual Family thread and expecting an update...not going to happen.

Personally, knowing of ICSTOR previous reputation on delivering games. I'm relatively positive that when he is back into the swing of things, everyone will forget what the fuss was about. Until that happens, I will just check in once every couple of months.

icstor good 0k!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But we haven't seen an increase in quality NOR Quantity... all we have are empty promisses that have been unveiled as lies most of the time by now aswell

yesterday evening he had 7341 patreon, 7381 this morning

This dude literally gains patreons after announcing yet another delay followed by saying the update won't even have the most important thing in it?? WHAT?? Now I know how those 'healing priests' con so many people. Single digit IQ followed by delusion. Not just basic delusion but the level of delusion that ends up sending someone to the looney bin.

 

[Yadro]

How is it possible that he has so many patreons after all this? how can people cope up with such crap?

 

[Quadraphinix]

my heart can not handle another delay.

Yes, the "heart".

 

[Creeping Death]

Code-wise, somebody already illustrated how simple it is to render animation files (basically webm files) using renpy. A hunded other developers have done it and I absolutely don't see a reason why the tried and tested routine of playing video files should introduce bugs.

The bug is that Ren'py says file not found (which it quite obvious because no animations were rendered yet)

Why do I know such a posting would be a mute or even a ban on discord ...

Yes, the "heart".

hahaha. Exactly the "heart".

Yeah it makes absolutely no sense. Worst part is the Dev basically censored his website forums so if you read those forums and not somewhere else's you might think the game is worth supporting.

Icstor has world domination plans.
Patreon is to fund his ideas. This game is just a gimmick. And he did delivered on the update(you just don't know about it lol).
In other news turkey has invaded syria and trump has bought some property in turkey.
Totally not fake news.

"durrr make fun of my movies, well how many movies have you made hmmm"

where do the movies? and where did you see me saying that I was doing something myself?

 

[Alfius]

Tbf it's more understandable to be upset right now compared to 3-4 months into the delay since the game was actually meant to be released now and instead the dev releases an announcement stating another delay, "expected" to be ten days but will be "definitively" be released this month (read: up to 21 more days believing he delivers his promise).
What I don't understand is complaining on a pirate thread of all places over and over.
Hell, it took me 5 pages of backward reading to reach an actual link to the news

Really!? After 11 months you are surprised that there is a delay? For me the proof is in the pudding. I believe an update when I see it released. You know how many times Gumdrop promised a release? it's been way more then a year now. I even kinda forgot the story.

 

[Dark Horizon]

He also said that it will be full of bugs and have no animation.

Did he post this on his patreon?

 

[arms99]

Did he post this on his patreon?

It was a message he sent to his patrons, it was posted here a while back

I'm actually not a fan. I don't like RPMG games in general and the one game I played before Milfy City, was very confusing to me and kind of Meh...

I enjoyed Milfy City, but the story is actually very ordinary, I don't get the hype. So it's a good game, but there are a lot better games out there in my opinion. His quality and animations are very good, but the rest is just ordinary.

It's part of the reason why I'm mystified about the outrage.

Having said that, he rolled out a lot of previous games, so I he knows how to deliver games. Before this lapse in time he work rate was one of the best out there. Going on that history, I predict that he will return to similar output in the near future.

 

[christopher thompson]

Surely testing means everything is completed and we are checking for bugs
how were they testing it without the animations

 

[christopher thompson]

This is going to be so delayed we will get another Christmas episode first

 

[yaboipapi]

I think the Icstors patreon growth the past year can be attributed to 1 major thing: Caroline. She fits a popular trope, the damsel in distress. Hero saves the girl, girl falls in love. If in this update the MC finally has sex with Caroline, his patreon growth would possibly slow down

I'm stating a simple fact. Devs with more Patrons develop slower.
It's not something I like, it's just a fact. The only exception to this is the Dev for MOTH.

There are way more deserving Developers out there in my opinion, that rolls out releases like mad (Ptolemy...wink...wink)
