The thing that irritates me most about this is that this game has so much damned potential.
I understand that the development process is long and there's a hell of a lot of time to grow bored, but my question now is why did he make it so ambitious?
He wants to end this in two updates, fair enough, but there's no telling how long these two updates will take. And that means he has to wrap up like... five storylines? If it's taking this long for the next version to come out, I don't even want to know how long the remaining two will take after that.
At least with devs like DrPinkCake and some others, they're transparent about how they feel and will actively engage their community unlike ICSTOR who is very well known for his quality renders and signature incest content. That last dev update made me glad I didn't support him on Patreon because he's quickly turning into the next Gumdrop.
The games I looked forward to the most were this game, Summertime Saga and back then Acting Lessons, now, I find myself looking at other devs who have done FAR less work than ICSTOR has and yet still, I believe in them more.
I'm severely disappointed in him. Granted for me, I got most of what I wanted out of this game because I liked Caroline the most of all the characters (I actually liked Linda the least, which is unusual because I have a thing for MILFs) and the only people I was interested in seeing were Judy (because she's the second hottest to me next to Caroline) and Celia (just to see how her story ends).
Such a waste man... can't begin to express how irritated I am. I can understand things getting boring but going radio silent and then sending a half assed, not really genuine update to say you're bored and that you're gonna finish the last two updates and it's all done. Not even a genuine apology and explanation for the radio silence, or reflecting on the development process which could potentially give you some comments that inspire you (believe me, there's numerous times when I'm writing stories and all it takes is one reader to give me the right comment and BOOM, inspiration hits) or SOMETHING. Not just "I'm done after these two updates because I'm bored".
Meh... I'm no developer, but I believe in keeping fans happy and interacting with a fanbase that I've developed over a period of time. Guess he just didn't want to do that and considering how much money he makes, he's got no excuse for this.
Okay. Rant over lol.
