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.

I'm irritated and disappointed he led people on for so long that he was sick when he just didn't want to do anything and collect his check. Least I expected that and could brace for it for months now.

Absolutely infuriating he has the gall to start talking about his next project though. You're admitting in your post that you have no work ethic and can't get anything done. Why would anyone believe making chapters for the next one will somehow keep him working as opposed to monthly updates he couldn't maintain for this? He'll simply get bored again and enjoy the monthly donations to his ego.

Sounds like you're talking about anal.
Not anal specifically as her last scene already foreshadowed that it would be coming.

I was talking more along the lines of moderate domination, since Linda has made it very clear that she wants to be fucked/treated like a "slut" or "whore", and for somebody like her who is so dominant normally and really into the idea, it makes it hotter and more engaging(something like the recent Caroline night scene/ Romulo Mancin/ or a more assertive Ellis from Milf's Villa). My other desire is for them to explore more of her Public sex fantasies, this could be perfect for the day, where her and MC fuck in all sorts of places. I just want her inner sexual beast to be fully unleashed.

Here's hoping theres tons of repeatable scenes. Like, not having to reload a save or anything like that. Or not having the ending well just, end the game.
I only want a repeatable scene if it makes sense, otherwise I'm good as long as it's in the Event Viewer(though i wish they would actually organize it to something like F.I.L.F.s). Saying that a few actually "intercourse" nights scenes would be great

I haven't actually played the Caroline update yet, can you just fuck anytime or was it a one time event?
She has four "new" repeatable night scenes, but the catch is that they cancel her "old" night scenes, and are no longer accessible once you initiate her huge final scene which is a one time event(though after that you her "old" night scenes return), I would recommend saving before that.

What really annoys me about the last post is it's all about his feelings and not those of his patreons. I am glad I stop supporting him long ago since last Novemember when the writing was already on the wall.

He treats it like his feelings are the only consideration and forgets he is took people's money and promised certain things. Is he offering anyone a refund? Nope. I hope what is left of his patreons leave him and start supporting more professional Devs. This is not the thread for it but I also hope patreon dies a complete death it's clear people are abusing the platform making promises and treating it like kickstarter without the enforcement mechanisms of a kickstarter.

I agree to your first statement, but got to heavily object with your last.
There are serious and very promising Devs on Patreon, who in the past would not have dared to make the jump of even considering doing this for a living... on every 10th Dev or so though there is a rotten fruit like ICStor.
I'd love if Patreon allowed a punishement on Devs like him but overall the platform allowed us to see far more titles to even be started to be developed, than ever before Patreon went live

I think Patreon should do these something for these cases, I get it they would not want it because is in their interest that people just forget about it and keep paying, but something like either putting the patreon on Hold after X months without a post, or sending an automatic message to the Patreons with a poll about the creators or a reminder that they are still paying for nothing.
