So it may be so that a dev over patreon may not be honest? That with exactly zero accounability and no responsibility whatsoever he may not be telling the truth if that truth would hurt him financially? Shocker. What happened with the morals and ethics of faceless porn game developers :sneaky:

Q&A #1 - Important

Hey all,
The last time I posted here I asked you guys if you had any questions for me. Now that everyone has had a chance to put them forward I'll take some time to answer the most popular and common questions.
So, without exception, the most frequent question was about the delay after delays... and what the fuck is wrong with me.
I had been keeping this to myself for quite some time. However, given the impact this is having upon me delivering deadlines I have no choice but to be honest.
Last year I began suffering from some serious mental health problems. That is why I had to take a break from the beginning of 2019. I had originally hoped this would be enough to help me get better. Sadly, my condition did not improve. I have now had to try various medications to help manage this condition. As with most mental health medications the first one doesn't always work - so I have needed to experiment to find the right one. Thankfully, last month I began a new medication which seems to be working for me.
This means no more delays! I promised to deliver animations this month and I will. The update with Sara should also be released in December as I promised. I’ll try really hard to make this update big :)
I would rather not say much more about my condition as few people know about it, and I prefer my privacy. Unfortunately, I can't give excuse any more.
I fucked up by not seeking medical treatment sooner. I let myself down, and I let my fans and supporters down. I’ll try to fix this in the next year with regular updates just like it was in 2018. This is where I want to end this discussion. I will not answer any questions regarding what happened.


Okay, enough of that. It’s time to start responding to other questions regarding actual game.

“How do you plan to deal with file size in future? It's getting a bit big for Mega.”
The 0.7 update will still be big in size, but we are working on adding an option to download just new content as of version 0.8.

“Will we have any lesbian or MFF content in the future between Sara and Caroline?”
Yes. There is a big chance that this will happen. :)

“Will we be getting night scenes where we wake the girls up and actually have sex with them?”
This is actually already in the game, but yes, there will be more of it.

“Will 0.6 BETA saves be compatible once animations are added?”
Yes, there will be no problem with saves.

“Icstor, which characters are you enjoying working on the most?”
Isla, Yazmin, and Bob. :)

“Icstor, how do you maintain a positive attitude and safeguard your physical and mental health when your fans are being less positive than you like :)?”
I have taken negative feedback quite personally in the past. It was one contributing factor to my mental health issue. However, I have I learnt to cope with feedback better as well as manage negative thoughts. If you like my work you can support me, if not then you are welcome not to. I support a lot of creators myself, but I haven’t played their games in months now.

“I really liked the x-mas episode last year. Are you planning on sth similar?”
Nope. Not this year, but maybe I’ll create some nice spicy festive pics. :)

“Would you ever consider doing more content for Caroline’s friend Violet?? She’s my best girl!”
Yes. She will receive her own complex story.

“Can you also put some sounds to the animation, I'm sure that will make this game much more exciting!”
We thought about it, but the answer is “no”. It’s too late to add them now and redoing the game from the beginning. I don't want to add extra time onto a game that has already had delays.

“Question: Is Bob ok? He seemed upset last time he saw his wife ;)
Bob will always be okay. He’s a real man after all! :p

“Are you planning to add a threesome scene with friends, like MC with Sara and Lilly, Caroline and Violet or Linda and Liza or others to main story?”
I thought about it. It is always an option. We’ll see in the future, but Caroline and Violet are a very interesting couple.

“Can we fuck Sara in this update or would it just be anal?”
I think there has already been enough anal with her. :)

“We want WEEKLY. UPDATES. Icstor, No more Bullshit.”
I have never been a person for doing regular updates, but I will see about increasing how often I interact with Patrons. I can promise to post Q&A every two weeks and a small update about progress in it.
In fact, let's start it right now. You can post new questions below this post if you want to.
I'm looking forward to reading all your questions! :)

I can't wrap my mind around why he would double down on the deadlines.

He made a post adressing his mental health which is having an impact upon him delivering deadlines and then gives two more deadlines because he "began a new medication which seems to be working".

Why not deliver the animations and possibly 0.7 first and shut up the critics before you set yourself up for failure again?

Like many others already said, I have a hard time believing in anything he said there, especially when he keeps saying that 0.7 will be released in December...we'll see I guess.

Tbh, i believe him about his mental health issues. I am diagnosed with depressions and dystemia and i often cant get myself to do anything at all. What he SHOULD have done tho, is to set his patreon to "for each release" instead of "for each month", that way, he would actually only get payed when he releases an update, aka not scamming anyone, while also allowing him to take the time needed for recovery and having an active paetron at the same time.

Well, I hope ICSTOR's health does improve in the future. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and if the man says that he is sick... good on him for seeking professional help. It's cool that he posted those links for mental health charities too. I'm not going to disparage ICSTOR for that.

That being said... he does come off super whiny though with the "HOW DO YOU REMAIN SO POSITIVE WHEN SOOOOO MANY OF YOUR FANS ARE SO NEGATIVE!!" Like... come on dude. You got tons of fans giving you so much money, you could swim in it. Rub some of those dollar bills on those burns, you'll be fine.

Well, creds to ICSTOR for writing that Q&A post. If he deliver animations this week and a BIG 0.7 Sara update in December, I'll for sure go back to be his patron again.
