hmm.. new update or not, you knew what you headed into when you jumped on a 0.x version of a game.
And this game is absolutely beautiful. Will it get finished? Hopefully. This year? No way. Still, for the hours of fun and excitement, it's worth a pretty penny. You don't enjoy only the happy ending, the ride is just as beautiful. H

I check out the patreon page, the image under the current progress that's the "father" right? well that doesn't matter, but the background of it seems a little bit shady. so what could it be?

The big problem is the lack of communication, it has been more than 6 months since the last update. And no one really knows what he has been doing during all that time. Maybe he has been working on a huge update. But people don't really know. The only thing you have is a progress bar that stays at the same percentage for months.
Huge Update ? like last time ?

NLT releases in 2 weeks bigger updates than this fella in a year

I just had a thought, anyone here run a Patreon account?. Can a developer have two different accounts (legally) ?. Is it possible for say a game developer calling him self Ice$tor for example also have another account as someone else?. I have no proof at all but what if a game developer created a game for example called Milf$ and after awhile he realized that he could just sort of ignore the game and continue to collect money so he decides to create another pen-name and start another game in the same genre and repeat the cycle so the game developer or scammer can make even more money. Like I said no proof but man if possible you could make crazy amounts of money. Seems like Patreon is ripe for con games.

One reason that Icstor makes so much money is because he is known for his other games. Creating another name is like starting over. Trust me, it is hard being a new game developer.

That's true but if you think of it like a con artist would it would be well worth the money. You already know the process and instead of wasting time developing a game that is already established and making a killing you start another and over time double your money. If you can actually get thru the process and make multiple patreon accounts you could have 3, 4, or even more cons running at the same time. Like I said no proof but seems like a giant way to rip off allot of people.

Icstor is working on two games at once right now but somehow that was decided through a vote and he is using the same Patreon account for both.

I think what you meant to say is Icstor is claiming to be working on two games right now. For all we know he could be working on zero games or 174 games. I don't believe anything he says. My point was if someone was making allot of money on Patreon scamming people with a game called milf$ he just might get the idea to start another con (aka game) so he could make even more money.

NLT says he's been doing it since the 90's he probably has a monster computer. Icstor has mental problems and hes been working non stop for 4 years.
he is also a liar, the first time he abandoned us, he said it was his girlfriend leaving him (could be true, but) a few months later it started up again, and the excuse this time was "my passion is gone" - - after so many projects this dude should have known to stick to his core characters only, the game started with a bagillion characters that were never going to get developed, and then he made even more; i suppose if the money is the only important thing, he's winning

personally allowing his highest tier patrons to dictate game content was his downfall - - you can disagree with me if you want, but this is how the main story SHOULD have gone :

main focus : the teacher, the mom, the older sister, the younger sister, the therapist
side focus : mom's work, dad's work, the aunts

having cameos from other characters would have been fine, but absolutely NO STORY FOCUS until after the above was at 100%

I would be happy with the older sister, mom, teacher and aunt

For the past 2 years he's rather been "stopping non-work" than "working non-stop", you know.

Unfortunately there are millions of people with mental issues that either have to keep working to make a living or resort to social security if they're lucky to live in a civilized country. The don't get paid $50 K a month to wallow in their misery.

"He said he is burned out with Milfy City and wants to be done with it so he can move on to a new game."

The question is, how can you be burnt out on a game you barely work on? One minor update in a full year. In all likelihood this dude has been jerking off and not even working on the game the majority of the time except for a few hours here and there when there's nothing for him to do or he's bored. OR he just straight up ignored it the entire time then a week or 2 before a promised release he just rushes through it. Let's keep in mind the majority of time is just spent waiting on this stuff to render. He simply does not work on this game enough and pump out enough updates to be getting burnt out. Burnt out is when you're doing something 6+ hours a day everyday for weeks/months/years.

Possibly but very doubtful as he has made many other excuses PLUS Patreon has a very simple remedy for issues like illness, You can pause the payments while you are unable to work. These two reasons to me says he is not sick, just a con artist.
The interesting thing is he really doesn't even need to waste any time completing all of the side characters. Just finish up the girls he lives with and his teacher, throw in a 3rd with any combo of Sara/Caroline/Linda and call it a day. All others can be ignored.
