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

[arms99]

So not the 10th but this weekend we shall see what happens by the weekend then can we expect a release or another long line of excuses, still, this beta update is off-putting with no animations.

Full of bugs and no animation, I wouldn't call it a beta release more like an early pre-alpha release. Then there is going to be a "10 day" wait (which in icstor language probably means 1.5 months) before a proper release.

Who believes this is money coming from real person patrons?! This account is in my opinion only used for money laundering ...

Something else he can't get right early Pre-alpha makes that more sense considering the situation with the animations.

Have a stark drop in quality in their games, increase the "production" time even though, theoretically, they should be able to afford more members on the team and drop the project dead, milking it more than Call of Duty while rolling back to images without animations?

Thats an option too, yes.

To be fair, growing small projects seems to be a huge problem in general. It's usually fine as long as there's a signle person or a really small team doing their stuff but as soon as one is talking about basically "starting a small company" while greatly increasing the amount of content output, I'm not aware that there's anybody who has really done it. So just because a dev is doing a great job at 10 to 15k$ doesn't mean that he'd be twice that good/effective at 40k.

I'm not talking about dev's that are already making a good amount of money, 10-15k$ is a very good amount of money. I'm talking about the dev's that have to work their day jobs and then develop their games. If these dev's would earn more they could upgrade their equipment and maybe even quit their dayjobs and start developing fulltime. It might be that not every dev would increase in quality but there are several that would increase in quality and update more frequently.

When you take a look around here on F95 and check some of the games, that are not your usual braindead crap, and see that not few of these dev's make less than 1k$ you'll understand what i mean.

Hey guys Quick update - The beta version should be released this weekend. Unfortunately, the only thing that will be missing from this version are the animations, those will be added after the beta. This time the beta will last longer than the usual three days. We have encountered a lot of game-breaking bugs this time around and need to patch them out. I estimate this extended period of testing to last around ten days, but it will be released this month for certain. Those who want to play full update with animations will have to wait a little longer, the amount of new scenes has put a lot of additional work on me. The programmer is currently finishing adding 40 secret cards and a long-awaited surprise I know you'll love. If you don't care about the animations you can start playing within a few days. Thanks for your patience with this update. It's a massive one.

Well, that's a different question though. You are basically saying that one shouldn't give money to devs which are already popular, because they make enough. That's fine. But most of those do make that kind of money because people like their games better than others and thus are prepared to pay. At that point a lot of money starts to flow and devs have to deal with that in one way or the other. That was the point I wanted to make. I mean, it's not really about fairness or the "best overall use of money" in that case. Sure, there a few games I personally wish would do better, but then again I know in many cases why they don't.

it’s better to get the game without animation than not to get it at all

 

[Towi]

Well, "... don't care about the animation..."
anyone like this game for the story? Running around a city, fucking milfs and your family? No sir, if I play for nice renders and story there are better games.

true its a good point

 

[2rough4it]

Is the BETA out yet or what?

 

[Mormont]

To have all that time and not have the animations ready is pretty poor from his side, looks like people will have to use their imaginations for the animation scenes

There are also dev's who just make a lot of money because they are in the business for a long time and people just keep supporting them without even playing their games, but thats a different topic. I get your point.

There are sure cases where i wish the game would do better but i know that even a lot of money wouldn't change that, but there are also games where i know that more money would increase the quality and frequenzy of the updates because the dev would dive in fulltime. It is really a double edged sword in some cases.

He will stop at beta, then you have to wait until next year Oct only can get full release.

Don't worry ICSTOR, delay your update one more time. Luckily, we're in a free market. Other devs will eat your lunch eventually. I can't wait for that to happen

 

[Gh8st]

What can I say. 3-4 month for this update is too much. Previous week or weeks were for testing and here we go again. The best solution is to show real release date. After that date all patrons payments stay on hold and patrons don't be waste their money on devs problems. Cause every developer must plan his time, if you need extra time(tests, bugs) add it before releasing new date. I know it because I'm also developer. In my opinion, it looks like dev is milking users for more money.
