Don't think so. He used to post make a post near the end of the month to tell all his supporters that everything is fine, the update is coming soon and people ate it up. He either kept gaining supporters or held somewhat steady numbers. Now that he's been quiet he took a real hit:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.



I thought so too, but that goal was reached in September 2018 when he had about 2000 patrons less. If he didn't change the goal the average amount of money pledged dropped by about 1/3. That would be a massive loss on top of the 13% that simply unsubscribed since last month. If he doesn't react soon I'm not sure he ever will.
His $100 tier used to be sold out. Now it has 2 remaining positions.
I agree with you. I think that patrons who pledged larger sums of money are more aware of what's going on and some decided to withdraw their support. His patron numbers haven't declined that much but his income might have.
That's quite hopeful for those who still think this could work as a wake-up call.

I can't stop thinking how Sara must be feeling right now. Her confinement was supposed to have ended around this time, so ironic.

In a few days he appears saying that Mc had to isolate himself from the family because of the coronavirus.
Since late December no less!
Hail Lord Icstor, provider of unparalleled lewd stories and foresighted genius!

I actually kinda liked the neighbors, the dumbass girl who was essentially a sex slave because of fake bad grades was an unusual take on the old trope. As for the rest, I definitely agree. To quote the master:

"Story in a game is like story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but its not that important" - John Carmack
Hahaha! Yeah, that's what I always think of porn.

Although to me, the better the story is, the hotter the porn scene is. It's all build up. Same thing in MC. The story only has to make the situation hot. Like how they get to the point to fuck at this spot. If it doesn't have that, then hopefully the scenes are hot. Making me feel for the characters other than basics is more of a bonus, not a requirement. Not expecting to get the feels, not against it tho. My standards are low for porn games.

almost 4 months now and the progress bar in his website is still stuck at 70%. I don't mean to sound demanding or anything, but what in the world is this guy's plan on his game and the number of patrons he has on it? If he doesn't want to finish it might as well call it quits now.
I believe the internet definition of his plan is called "milking".

He cant have any excuses because mostly everyone is in quarantine, so he has all the time for the game, because hes working from home.

He can and most likely has a perfectly good explanation and acceptable excuse for not producing any content. Depression and/or being burnt out can drain all energy out of a person, making it an almost insurmountable challenge to even get out of bed every day, much less work on a project like this. While this can also be an explanation to why he keeps milking patrons, it is, however, not an excuse.

He can give us any excuse but he is not even doing that :) He is making so much money that even loosing few thousands $ from last post is not a incentive to even post a reason of the delay (never mind how fake it would be) :) He is having soooooo good time and don't even check patreon page in months because either way a pile of money will came every month :)

And that is all thanks to people who still support him even when he is clearly milking. Magic of Patron :D

depression is bad, I agree from close relative experience. It is however totally different situation when you have depression and NEED to work to have a cash to live. Also, professional help cost a lot.

Thanks to people who support him he have those two essential things covered for years. And what those people get in return? Not even post saying what is going on or what to expect. Only very scarce posts with lies about imaginary dates that he set himself, changed afterwards and do not even meet.

I'm not saying money solves every problem but I know it solve majority of them and make your situation much better.

As I said, he has a perfectly good explanation for neither putting his Patreon on pause nor producing any content, but he only has an excuse for one of them. I understand that the cash he gets every month might be the only income he has and that it is something he would have a hard time to survive without, but once you start accepting dubious moral and see it as a means to an end, you will get dangerously close to a slippery slope you would do best to avoid.

I was banned on Icstors discord because I was calling him out. I have info from someone very close to Icstor and the game is indeed cancelled. No I won't say who, but it's 100% that he has given up on this game. If at this point he can't take two mins to update the status of 0.7 then it's pretty obvious where his priorities are. Stop supporting him and let him see how comfy life is without his 7k+ patreons giving him free money every month.

Quite sad, but we know how the game will end.
