He got burned out when creating Milfy City, because all those characters and storylines were too hectic and he didn't know where to turn.
Nobody believes that he got burned out. He can work at whatever rhythm he wants, and he already possess the skills to make his games, so there's nothing stressful about it.

There's really two options here. Either he's a bad person and feels no responsibility toward the people giving him money, or he's addicted to opioids.

Maybe, if that's the case, then his excuse is even more stupid and as I said, it doesn't make sense.

bruh who are all these people lmao - Zuri are the twins , who are the remaining?
I'm guessing you've missed a couple of things...
Delilah is in the school pool in the morning.
Lily is Sara's friend in Sara's class in the afternoon
Macy sits next to the MC in his morning class (gives him shit about hitting on Celia)
All 3 were secondary characters tagged with Content not yet developed... (much like his previously abandoned games).

Like i predicted i got banned from their discord server. This also means his admins are just like Icstor not only assholes, but also frauds without a spine.

I told everyone what they already know. That Icstor is a fraud. I've been a member of his discord-server since i guess 0.3 (just one donation with every new update to download) and everything just changed on the server.


So i just told them it's almost criminal what he's doing. That there are better games for people to enjoy and if they felt the need to flush money down the drain they might suggest charity.

And well, i like to insult a lot, so there were some swearwords and making fun of the guy.

Dark Cookie is going in the same way
No he isn't. At the very least DC puts out content. He may not be able to stick to his self assigned deadlines, though let's be honest his statements about when to expect updates have never been particularly realistic. However for the past few years Summertime Saga has put out between two and three updates a year. To say he's going in the "same direction" is ridiculous.

Wait, are you implying that ICSTOR wasn't working all this time, and he isn't coming out with a 5TB update any second now?
EDIT:
Holy shit, ICSTOR is putting on hold games he haven't even released yet, what a legend.
I can't believe he had 90% of the content for version 7.0 before putting on a "new project". He once "increased" the content to version 6.0 and eventually postponed the release date several times (published approximate timeframes). As before, he will render a few scenes and throw them to his parteons, gaining an additional few months of milking the suckers. What he is doing now resembles a (quasi)financial pyramid ...

It will probably be the last game of this gentleman, but if he can still make money with minimal effort, why not?

CURRENT PROGRESS:
Milfy City v1.0 – Release in 2021 (february 30)
Milfy Kingdom – On Hold (when MC release)
The part in parentheses, that was good ...
(Feb 2021 only until the 28th)

But..CURRENT PROGRESS
Milfy City v1.0 - Release in 2021
Milfy Kingdom - On Hold

It's real, it pushes the date to any day in 2021 (???)
And your second game has already put - ON Hold
(he did not release the first episode and he just goes on vacation Burnout again ...)

Even Sony made a refund for the first time!
How is Patreon not ashamed to continue with a scheme like this ..?

Oh great thing, got in touch..to say that..then this is valid for them..
And the share in the profits every month ...
Your Patreons are still happy .... he is happy..Patreon too ..
The problem is in people of bad faith, who do not believe his word!!!

What do Icstor and Santa Claus have in common ..?

Patreon is a huge platform. I don't think Patreon is to blame unless current patrons decides to report this dev, and patreon takes some action after that.

Technically he isn't doing anything against patreon rules, so likely the only thing patreon will do is advice people to stop pledging to him if they wish.
But since icstor's patrons are either very gullible people or the types who do not realize a ~10 dollars charge on their credit card it is very unlikely something will happen to his scheme.

I'll tell you exactly what happened...

He worked on MC for a few months in late 2017 and early 2018, and it got really popular based on the content and the release schedule at that time (seriously, take a look at how close together versions 0.1 through 0.5 were released). It blew up on patron, and all of a sudden he had buttloads of cash, so he thought, "I'll take a little break, vacation, and spend some of this new-found wealth. I'll get back to work in a couple months..."

A couple months came and went, and he couldn't get motivated to work on the game much in 2019. He made up some shit about "burn out" to excuse the delay, but he still had a sliver of integrity, so he was obligated to finally do some work when it was drawing out too long, so he slapped together v0.6, but he didn't enjoy working anymore.

Then he realized that his patrons kept dumping money into his project whether he was delivering or not, so he might as well take another break. The money kept rolling in as long as he made vague promises about 0.7. Hell, the people giving him money for nothing would even defend him if he didn't deliver on explicit promises. He'd get back to work eventually. Maybe next month? Oops, ok, NEXT month...

It got to the point where he started seeing some backlash, so he decided to "come clean". Well, sort of. He'd still act like he was working on MC, but his heart wasn't in it because he had a NEW IDEA that he was passionate about. So he surveys his patrons, and they confirm that, yes, at least 50% of them are still eating this bullshit. Phew, that buys a few more months!

So a few months go by, and he thinks it's about time to give another tease for his big NEW IDEA, oh, and by the way, progress on MC will "slow down". Oh shit, that didn't go over well and everyone is calling him a scammer in the responses. "Fuck, maybe I should actually come up with a concept for this NEW IDEA"

He slacks a few more months, avoiding his patrons etc because he doesn't want to see what they're saying about him. Pulls a designer on board to make a few renders because that buys more time, then makes sure to set an alarm for 3 months so he can make a post to keep his biggest referrer from labeling his game abandoned.

The alarm goes off. "Shit! I have to say something! I'll toss together something for my NEW IDEA to make it look like I've been working. I know, I'll make an awesome main character based on the super cool guy I saw at Dave & Busters this weekend!"

But no one liked his super cool guy. "Who the fuck is this douche??" They said. "Why would we want to see him and not the girls?" They asked, ungrateful for the 4 hours he slaved creating him.

But you know what? The money kept coming anyway. "I guess I don't really need to come up with stuff for this NEW IDEA, as long as there's a vague promise of a MC update happening at some point. Even if I just say it's happening next year sometime, it won't affect my income."

And that's where we are now. I'm sure he's still telling himself that he'll get to work next month, then next month comes and he has no incentive or motivation to do anything until Siri tells him that 3 months have passed and he should make up another vague promise.

When I said about 6 months ago that he is a scammer and that he will no longer work on this game, people jumped in my head and defended him.:sneaky: Basically in March 2021 it will theoretically release v0.7, after 15 months! Imagine how long it will take for him to release v0.8, if he ever does! This game should have written abandoned in his right a year ago. The only culprits are those who support his laziness, sorry they support his work... :LOL:
