You know... there are other more profitable and faster ways to use graphic cards (CPU) to earn money than to do rendersSo the guy has an uber rendering setup (I hear 10 video cards?), a crap ton of money coming in every month, works for himself and YET there are management issues.

It's really a good game with a great scenario! In your opinion, are we close to an update or not at all?

I abandon that of a new version but it is only my criteria, that nobody is astonished if we see a new project emerge with tremendous fanfare
You mean like Bitcoin? Those use CPUs or GPUs?You know... there are other more profitable and faster ways to use graphic cards (CPU) to earn money than to do renders
Yeah, Unren seems to be hit or miss In making games unbootable. I only do it to unpack renders now and keep 2 copies of the game due to this problem.Hi guys, tell me, I have a little problem, since yesterday when I use unren on an unmodified Milfy, well, it sends me an error message like "parsing the script", whereas some time ago, there was no problem at all. Did that happen to either of you?
Yes.The list of rules of what is allowed. See below.Any info on his Discrod?
Yes, the constant reminders to see "rule x" when the slightest infraction occurs. It seems to be the number 1 past time there. Next to calls for banning an individual. Disneyland is billed as the happiest place on Earth. Icstor's Discord should be billed as the saddest place on line.I'm suprised that ICSTOR is number 5 for adult games on patreon still given that there hasn't been an update in ages. I guess people have too much money than sense
This is what you get pointed to when asking about an update on his discord.
I gained 20 pounds after my spinal operation.What's new?
I already told you. I got fat. Are you tring to be mean?whats new?
Which great scenario would that be? The raping women part? The blackmailing women into pleasuring you part? The alcoholism part? The cheating pedo wife/mother part? Or the murdering exs part?It is really a shame that he doesn't advance in his work. It's really a good game with a great scenario! In your opinion, are we close to an update or not at all?
Some people can't walk and chew gum at the same time.So the guy has an uber rendering setup (I hear 10 video cards?), a crap ton of money coming in every month, works for himself and YET there are management issues.
There is an option to do otherwise?Yes we can have patience.
Crypto mining? I wish I understood that. I could use a crap ton of money. PM me LOLYou know... there are other more profitable and faster ways to use graphic cards (CPU) to earn money than to do renders
Why would people be astonished byIcstor being Icstor? If his last update is an indication of what to expect going forward. I am not expecting a lot of fanfare.It's been almost a year since 0.6b and nothing this has created tremendous controversy among his followers who are divided between those who believe he is enjoying the money of his patrons and the most faithful who keep asking for time, personally I think that being closer to a
I abandon that of a new version but it is only my criteria, that nobody is astonished if we see a new project emerge with tremendous fanfare
That is what Icstor has done for years.Yeah ... I'm not going to lie to you I also think that now that the money is there, it's not going to bother to get out of the content ... I don't mind that sometimes it's a question of time and that it can take 2-3 months but there, a year, it is abused!
What would be the point of releasing another project rather than finishing this one?
Probably.Will the new update be available for next year
I agree with everything you said, the only variable I have a hard time determining is the amount of time it takes to actually create the images. To me this would be the hardest part and therefore take the most amount of time but like any other skill the more you do it the easier it generally becomes so I would have to assume that at this point in time the developers experience in creating the images he should be highly proficient. I am unable to come to any conclusion other than a simple money grab. If he is truly going thru some sort of breakdown or mental health issue then making games should be given up entirely for now and focusing on his health. Any other so called reason(s) for the the amount of time lapsed is not acceptable.I can't say exactly how much it take to develop a game like that, but let's look at it his way:
- The game doesn't have any complex mechanics, this is a point and click game, and the game engine is already there.
- The story is linear, and have few branches at best.
- The writing is trash.
- Few short animations.
- The dev has spent around two years working on the same game, if he is any good at coding/conception, it should be extremely easy to push new updates by now, just a matter of copy pasting text and renders into the right place.
- The only thing that can take take is rendering, but we see other devs doing it much faster.
I am a developer my self, but never worked on game programming. i don't think however developing point and click games is really "game programming", and i am pretty sure there is little complexity involved, for the most part it is just an interactive comic book, and i see publishers like Y3DF releasing sometimes twice a month.
I say with a budget as of ICTOR, if you are not releasing twice a month(you can hire a small team to help with rendering), you are just being lazy, once a month is acceptable. but more than that is just milking it.
GPU's are better as they are more suited for the calculationsYou mean like Bitcoin? Those use CPUs or GPUs?
Far too late to get into it as an amateur now. You need lots of money to make a bitcoin farm.Crypto mining? I wish I understood that. I could use a crap ton of money. PM me LOL
Why would I tip him before an update?Then pay for a month become a patreon and compain your heart out. Also the average game dev on this site is sitting on two month cycle. Render times are expensive.
maybe the Lain's Mod could help give you directionGuys help please. After Caroline's message about robbery(She was drinking in the photo) my char said I need to go to her room but I didn't go to her room at that night.
