There is the different between complete and goal.It's been at 70% complete since the end of January. He's been totally MIA since.

Hahaha! Yeah, that's what I always think of porn.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:

I believe the internet definition of his plan is called "milking".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.
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 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 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 monthHe cant have any excuses because mostly everyone is in quarantine, so he has all the time for the game, because hes working from home.
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.He can and most likely has a perfectly good explanation and acceptable excuse for not producing any content.

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.depression is bad, I agree from close relative experience.

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.
thanks for the insiderI 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.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.

u mean deadman from the comics , did icstor becomes a comic character nowYou guys still waiting for a dead man?
For something like that to work you however need to practice transparency... which means keep your supporters regulary Updated about both your own well being/trouble (even shematic) and the game progress... both things he isn't doing in the least.The thing I'm about to talk about is kind of off topic from the game. It's about the developer.
There are so many good content creators who can provide whatever they do but Icstor still gets the best out of them. There is a demand for the game but nobody is getting anything from him. He could have just said ''I will release the game when I'm done with it.'' So many content creators says this because there could be real life issues and it might delay their games' release which is smart thing to do. Not promising something that you cannot foresee. Cause it's life and shit happens so why would you bother yourself saying something that it will not become real? He has to stop with the ''release day promising'' thing. I think he is just burned out of the pressure or whatever he is living at the moment and doesn't want to continue this game anymore. It is a great game and has a decent story. I wish overcomes from whatever he is facing and gets better.
