It's all well and good to attempt to defend someone but IC's behaviour as of Milfy City 0.6e has been nothing but contemptible.
The time delay between 0.6e and 1.0 (he's skipping all releases in between) is OVER A YEAR WITH ONLY TOKEN COMMUNICATIONS at this point. He's had time in between the two breaks he's taken and his frighteningly short period of burnout.
Anyone who works is entitled to breaks. How does a break while not doing anything suit you?
Most of the people here that ARE being hard on him know he could do better if he tried. And therein lies the problem.
Have you paid attention to IC's history with game development? He makes good stuff - until he's past the 0.5 mark and suspiciously loses interest soon after and only sticks with it to make a rushed finish.
We're not being arseholes just for the sake of being arseholes. ICSTOR constantly touts new and exciting projects.
He teased Milfy Kingdom (AKA Project X) some time ago - and subsequently put it on hold while he finished up Milfy City. And this endgame part of MC hasn't materialised yet.
I'm not defending the guy at all. I think its idiotic to get this far with something, have so much support/love, and than not finish it. The guy is fucking up big time unless he is truly having a mental break down or some other issues he can't disclose.
The main point of the post isn't to be negative towards anyone but instead to point out a great opportunity for anyone not happy with their current career/situation in life. Even if he came back with an endless supply of content there would be plenty of demand. I have a degree in economics (that I never used) and over the years I realized that things that are "obvious" to me are not always so obvious to other people. I feel extremely lucky to not be tied to a job/employer and even though a big part of me expects this post to lead to nothing more than being shit on... I wanted to point out what I consider "obvious"....
This is such a great opportunity for anyone willing to take the time to learn some new skills.
- The demand is extremely high (0 reason to think that will change ... ever!).
- The supply is extremely low
- The competition is soft (majority of corporations or well educated people can't get involved in adult content because of the social stigma/consequences, icstor is the top guy? and no one else has the confidence to think they could match him or do better??)
- You don't need to invest a great deal of $$ (as in making a physical product)
- Its extremely scalable
