That was totally expected, but what i didn't expect is how on earth he still have more than 6k patrons after literally admitting that he can't deliver anything, i was expecting an instant drop by at least 1 or 2k patrons.
I also wonder why you people are assuming that he has a team, he doesn't, he uses "The royal we" occasionally to make it sound like he has a team and justify the amount of money he is getting, when in fact he hires contractors, he pays per contract as his writer said it here on this thread.
This guy is the luckiest MF on earth, i don't blame the guy, he did and said everything to make his supporters abandon him, i really don't blame him, he basically came clean, but still, he has more than 6k patrons.

So if I read this correctly, icstor just admitted on his post that in the last 4 months since the update he hasn't done anything. Since all he does is create the renders (which apparently he hasn't bothered doing), while the rest of the team does everything else.
Does he really need to confirm anything? If anyone believes he's been working the last four month they're in complete denial. Now he wants to include Linda in 0.7, probably, maybe, but not really. I think in reality 0.7 is nowhere near finished and he simply wants more time. Reminds me of how he pushed back 0.6 to include the neighbours, only to later announce the neighbours won't get much content because he had trouble rendering.

but...but... than he would have to share profits...
Plus he would still have to come up with the basic gamedesign.
I think it would be better if he "sold" the whole game to another team at this point, and do so right from the get go in the future.
I can't imagine he can tell much of a story in those short releases he announced, atleast if he wants a minimum of gameplay alongside it

Well he can share a dick when this falls trough. People don't like actions like this.

If you take a look at the last 2 Preview shots that Alpine Eagle posted before you notice that they are both Linda shots... makes you wonder wether or not he actually ever intended to work on 0.7 or just go with this idea.
ALSO 70% could very well be scripting and codeing in ICStors case, as he stated the programmer already did all the work... 30% for Renders and story.... just shows how much he had intended to put into that Update to begin with

He owes it to the fans to finish the game he started anything short of that would be abandoning the game altogether. If that means he needs to hire writers and other staff he is more then capable with all that money bleeding out his ass. I don't feel sorry for someone who does not have fun at there job making that type of money. seems almost like he is extorting for more supporters

He won't finish the game... he will make it all end.
There is doubt he'll follow up the stories of all of his characters nor expand the ones he already started (as branching into pregnancy and Harem routes).
He considers to owe nothing to noone, which is pretty much what he stated before... this game will get a rushed and rather disappointing ending as all his previous works did.

Love how he waited till right after his patreons paid him for another month to announce it at this point I would blacklist him and report him to Patreon for not following through on rewards. He's a very lazy creator

Ahahaha this is even funnier than expected. Not only is he already saying that the next 2 updates are the last ones and that characters that werent already started arent getting shit (RIP Violet, the classmate, Judy) as I have been telling you for more than a year mfers. He also straight up said that they have literally not done absolutely anything with the game since last update and that the progress bar is a lie


And there will still be people that gives him money for the next sack of shit he makes.

Its okay, remember that the delays on the Celia/Caroline update are not impacting the development of the trashgoblin with Judy update and we are getting it in November

Onyxdime maybe you can give this suggestion to ICSTOR. His issues with completing projects aren't rare. Lots of projects start off with a bang, then get bogged down later as the people doing them flail around aimlessly, with no direction.

What he needs to do is apply some software engineering concepts to his work flow.

When he comes up with the idea for a new project, and works on creating the characters, etc, he should write out a high level overview of the whole story. He should decide what goes into each update at the start of the project. If he wants to keep the voting thing going on Patreon, he could vote for which side girls go into which update - honestly, they're pretty interchangeable, from an update perspective.

Design, then code (render, whatever).

He should also work more like an assembly line - do a scene, then send the renders for that scene to you and the coder to write/code that scene. That way you're all working in parallel, instead of sequentially.

If he has the full design fleshed out up front, he'll have goals to hit for each episode, and know exactly what needs to be accomplished.

Yeah, we will see it in November 2019.
I was so looking forward to this update (Judy), but the developer took it and broke everything. :(
I think that as in Big Brother fans will make this game.
