I think ICSTOR hangs on the fact that there is no game like his so he uses that to keep his hooks dug deep into us.
Render vise it’s true, since other devs can’t get to his level, why it’s frustrating he is a lazy piece of shit who wastes his talent.

I wouldn't agree to this statement aswell...
True ICStor still is above the Standard in regards to rendering quality, but as several times announced in this Thread alone he does NOT hold a monopoly on this.
There are other games with equal or better Quality and as time moves on they will likely overshadow ICStors work by haveing true animations and likely a consistently captivating story.
All things that ICStor failed to hold up to.

Ocean is by far better with is renders, Incenton Games got great Renders aswell, the Game Power Vaccum isn't that bad renderwise and DrPinkCake was till the new Release from Ocean, Summers Gone Chapter 3, the best dev if we just look at visuals and I dunno Ocean just crushed every other developer if you ask me.

I think the sad thing here is the lack of content that's gonna be added for the finale of Milfy City.
We need a ICSTOR "hype lifecycle" like the Illusion games have. Just to remind us all.

Ocean is indeed a great dev with great looking animations and renders but he is taking forever to update his games.... it still looks like it, we have to wait at least another 5-6 months to a next "possible" release...

Ocean is setting the bar very high and what he is doing in an update:

Ch.3 - Beta
- ~1800 new still renders added
- ~ 10000 renders in animation frames added.
- Completely new Intro with the reworked Summer model.
- School scene with Summer also reworked.
- Nojiko's skin got replaced by much more high quality. (Still needs to be replaced in some earlier scenes.)
- Visual tweaks for Nadia, Ayua, Mila, Nami, and Victoria


He is pushing other Dev's, like ICSTOR, into the second tier, especially when those other Dev's seem interested in talking about their VN instead of actually doing the work to update it.

Think just how good this last update was and... he's adding great music and even more stunning animations.

I'd love updates every 3 months, for example, but if I have to wait 5-6 months to get this level of quality, I will.

Summer's Gone is so good it is worth it!

Graphically stunning but does Summer's Gone have a really good story, dialogue and drama?

hey guys, need a bit of help. decided to move the game onto an encrypted external HD (i've got a puny internal HD so the 4GB was too much space for me to afford), and trying to launch the game from the encrypted external crashes on startup and gives me this log:

"
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Before loading the script.
Exception: Couldn't find file '._sfx.rpi'.

just to test, i tried created an unencrypted partition on the same external drive, and it launches fine from there, so the encryption is fucking it over somehow. any ideas?
