Ren'Py Completed Milfy City [v1.0e] [ICSTOR]

[Alpine Eagle]

I find it funny, that not one picture in all the new ones that we've gotten, had ANYTHING to do with Caroline's post-route. Only thing of her there was the co-star scene with Violet.

For some reason, that really irks me. Just, digs into my craw, you know?

And there is no hint of routes, or at least some kind of completion. Only those renderers like the ones we've already seen.

Yeah. I'm still coming to grips with the inclusion of a Violet route. Which I'm guessing the two scenes from the recent post are part of that. A couple with Linda, one with Sara. There's Judy, Celia too.

But I think (or assuming) the most waited for thing is Caroline's post-route. Looks like Linda's getting the finale of hers in those couple of scenes. Sara's getting more curious and "adventurous."

What I wouldn't give for this game to be over and with the endings the way they should be (or I want them to be)

These are all images from Patron, I copied them from there myself, so these should be all images. Judy on News #18, Q&A #2, News #21, and Preview with Discord.

There was a picture where Judy "kneeling" before MC. But it is not so important. Thanks for the summary and the link.

And we get it, someday, do not lose hope.

I only have so many years left before I wind up looking for an old-age home. I'm 46 now, but, I'd like to see thie end of it before I forget what the hell I'm actually waiting for.

I'm already bipolar schizophrenic, and what I know, I'm a shoe-in for later life dementia. So in a few years, you say the name "Caroline" and I might not know it from shit or Shinola

 

[TheSinful]

Fifteen years have passed since the first announcement, and later they wrote that they were making a new engine.
Source was developed for five years, and now it's been 15, so I don't think they're still working on it.
They released Half-Life: Alyx, and that's probably all.
Sorry for the offtop.

That's the joke

я боюсь, что ко времени, когда выйдет обновление, качество моделей будет уже устаревшим

Agreed. People are saying that now about the game and the caliber of the games that are out there compared to this one.

 

[Kondorito]

I can't believe another 3 months have passed since the last excuse of a post.
Time passes by so fast...

12 days to go before the next excuse.

This is a great opportunity to do reload. And continue to milk

Aw man, that sucks, i know its nothing, but still i wish you best of luck.
Funny, sitting at work today, i read this thread, and read that icstor have some mental issues, i dont know if its true or not, but still. I don't know how many years he has been doing this, im new to all this stuff, and i mean all of it, my first porn game was Subverse, which came out recently, maybe the development of this game fuck it up his mental balance.

Well if he has legitimate issues that's why I'm still here in this thread. I know what I go through, but I don't know if what he goes through (if anything) is "better" or worse than mine. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because if it is real, then I can sympathize on some level with him.

If he claims it, and it's BS, then that's another story.

I still love this game, don't care what anyone says, and it gave me my first ever VN girl, Caroline. If it wasn't for COVID happening last year, then I'd be ignorant of this whole genre. Found this game by pure luck one day on SteamUnlocked, and down the rabbit hole I went.

 

[RimYourPooHole]

maybe the development of this game fuck it up his mental balance.

Only thing that fucked up his mental balance was that his patrons didn't let him finish the game after 0.5 update and move on to Milfy Kingdom at the beginning of 2019 like he had planned. He is demotivated, and has been demotivated with this game ever since that. Why would he even bother to get motivated, when people will pay his bills anyways.

The small tragedy with Icstor is that despite all the hate he gets now this community does owe quite a bit to him. Western erotic games have been gaining a bit of traction in the last 2 years or so thanks in part to things like overall improvement in quality and platforms like Steam now fully allowing them to be hosted. There's a lot of newer members on this site and others who see Milfy City and kind of just assume it's part of the same crop as BaDIK, COBD, or ToN which I think is a testament to Icstor's level at the time because all his work predates those titles.

For a good while, Icstor was the cream of the crop in terms of visuals and scope. He still had a lot of the faults he gets criticized for now (aimless plots, overcrowding of characters, story losing traction due to rushed endings, etc.), but his ambition and attention to quality still set him up as the gold standard for a lot of devs and fans at the time. There were obviously others like Palmer, Akabur, Tora Productions, and Lesson of Passion who were starting to get more ambitious with their games, but I really think Icstor's work was what inspired a lot of people to try and make erotic games that weren't just clicker games for Flash.

From about 2015-2019, his work would only improve and eventually go on to influence creators in a number of ways. You can still see his influences of his early stuff (IS1 & Milf's Control) in a lot of the current RPGM games that are still around now like Peasant's Quest, Farmer's Dream, Lust Epidemic, and Anna Exciting Adventure. His Renpy games (IS2, Milf's Villa, & Milfy City) are still having some impact on games coming out now that choose to focus on large scopes with heightened visuals Apocalust for example looks like it's taking a few cues from his work.

What ended up leading to his now mixed-low reputation was a combination of two things in my opinion. The first and obvious was his work ethic suddenly taking a major dip. I don't think it was necessarily the delays that started the hate, if you go back in this thread you can see that he had gained himself enough good faith from the community that most were understanding at first. I'd argue it was the lack of communication that really drove people mad and after that came all of the wired decisions and missed promises he started making. The second was completely out of his control, and that was that a lot of newer devs started appearing that were matching and/or upping his standards. Whether it was the at the time up-and-coming devs like Philly Games, NLT, and DPC whose first games were maybe not as polished as Icstor's but they showed major promise, or some older devs who now had the resources to up their quality for their new games. Either way, what ended up happening was that around early 2019, right when Icstor started to become very shotty, the overall quality of the community started rising while he stayed in the same place.

Icstor sadly has been very absent from this sort of boom in Western Erotic Games, despite being one of the main people to get the ball rolling. He's still one of the better-known developers, but definitely not the most influential creator in the sub-genre anymore. This is now arguably the house Pinkcake built with many veteran and new devs looking to his work as the basis of inspiration. Even if his quality had stayed the same, Icstor could probably have been one of the creators leading this new wave but instead, he's been dealing with controversy after controversy over his current professionalism. Like many, I'm pretty cynical about what expect from him. But still, I hope he can get back to some sort of consistent level because I do think he can make good quality work and I appreciate the foundation he's laid out for this community.

Agree with most of what you stated but i think you are wrong about 1 thing it's not Icstor who had the biggest impact to the western h dev community but it was DarkCookie overall (if you meant for 3d h games yeah than it was clearly Milfy City but in general i would say its Summertime Saga).
Afterall DC have the most patreons & have a great reputation because he streams daily and even if he don't have a great update shedule which is only 3 updates per year but still better than fellaz like Icstor and keep in mind every aspect of the game is handdrawn.

I never ever saw this picture before. I wonder if she's working out because of the baby belly? Makes me wonder if this is part of her post-route or not as she's getting ready or IS pregnant. Her legs being up like that block any sign of it.

Hmm...

Great picture though

 

[Irgendwie Irgendwo]

what month do you think milfy city is gonna be released

December, to avoid the "no update within two years" default abandoned tag rule.

 

[zitadoxoto]

Just your daily reminder that there should be [abandoned] tag on this game.
