I wonder why he lost interest in the game, if that is indeed the case. I remember him lagging behind making Judy because he said she was his least or one of his least fave chars.
I wonder if he just looked at his characters and just didn't like the way it turned out? Something with his personal life that's eating at him and just losing motivation to create? Or he is just bathing in the money and lost the will to continue?
Before I think he said that he was dealing with depression issues?
Either way, it sucks that he keeps missing deadlines he made for himself. Shit happens, but it just sucks cuz he used to be on point with the deadlines.
To be honest, I think ICSTOR is generally just a "coming up with concepts/ideas" person, rather than a guy to see it to completion. I used to write short erotic novels, and I suffered from this exact issue. I would get an idea, it would sound awesome, I would write out a couple of chapters and be like "oh yeah, this is gonna be THE shit!" and then I would suddenly get a new idea for a new story in my head, and I would be unable to work on my previous "amazing project" because my new idea kept distracting me, so I switched to making my new story, which was then interrupted by another one and so on.
I think this is ICSTOR. He comes up with ideas, starts working on them and then comes up with a new idea, which makes him lose interest in his previous project. It's a shitty cycle, but I can releate. It's kinda the same thing Slonique is infamous for on this site, except Slonique clearly just switches things in order to find something that rakes in the money, whereas ICSTOR makes tons of money from MC, so monetary gain is unlikely to be his reason for switching games, IF that is what he ends up doing. At this point, if he truly does not have any interest in MC anymore, he should probably just be handing over MC to some new team and get working on something else.
