Btw has his discord become closed? I haven’t used it for about a month, and yesterday noticed that I do not have his server connected.
And through the invitation from his website, it is not possible to log in.
I'm not Patreon and I'm in his discord, I just tried the link from his website and it worked. Maybe try again, doesn't seem to be closed.

Taking in mind the 200 existing renders I doubt if he is able to complete MC this year.
Apparently, he has 8000 renders, who know if that's true, but that's what he said. The 200 was the minimum amount that will be released in any update. With the correlating number of the update being higher with the amount of content in it. So 6e-7.1 should have a decent amount, whereas 7.1 to let's say 7.3 would have very little. Again, who knows if any of this is true, but that's what has been said.

It went from 1.0 in May to 0.7 in July. So surprised...
It's hilarious.
First it was "Good news everyone: There will be no new update in 2020 but the full game will be released next year"
Then it was:"I'm working on 1.0. Estimate release date is May"
Now it is: "Why are you guys soo impatient? Fine have it your way. Smaller update next month"

Reminds me of that time when he decided not to release Caroline's update because he had not finished her animations and then released it 6 months later without animations anyway.

This game was supposed to take over the AVN world but ICSTOR really fucked up with his attitude.

You can't trust him at all. If he says "The sky is blue" I'll seriously look up to check on it.

Two years of lies and then he's angry at us for being mean? He should've just posted one normal post on Patreon and do something for the first time in his life: State the truth...

I saw in here that someone stated that there would be a possible lawsuit if another dev took over this project:
1. The project in question must be already copywrite.
2. The author cannot claim copywrite infringement if the details of the project are given away freely. i.e. how to make Linda, Caroline, Sarah and others. On his Discord server they offer this openly.
So, no, he cannot bring a suit against anyone who tries to do a unofficial remake of the game. If this were the case, anyone who gave to his cause could possibly do the same against him.

NOTICE: I am no lawyer by any means, I just know about this crap due to my research when I wanted to do my own game.

Meghead: Icstor now has material for an update, why not release it now, why wait for July.

What, does he have anything prepared? His suspicious activity immediately after setting the tag is hilarious. It was a trigger, i cannot work on my own terms, etc. Even the dudes who they sit there all the time were shocked by his sudden appearance.

These 200 renders will be done on the fly, just to add something and take the tag off. Ash will get the shit kicked out of him for not preparing the #27 update on time and it will all start over again.

The f95 administration, should change the abandoned tag rules a bit. I mean three months without an update (a progress entry is not an update) equals an abandoned tag. But if a dev sets a release date of let say, 4-6 months, then after those three months they should automatically receive a onhold tag until release. This would be fair, and why onhold because we rly don't know did developer work or not at content.

Is the reason for him doing a smaller 2 weekly release schedule because he is trying to copy NTLs business model? From what I understand, NTL creates almost the entire game first and then releases it in small doses twice a month to maximise profits. I mean I would love it if he would just release the whole thing en mass for £30 but I can't see him making nearly as much money doing it that way.

In ICSTORS case, I'm not defending him, but I do believe he has been working on the game most of this time, albeit VERY slowly, with not even close to the intensity and work ethic as before. As we already know the amount of money he has pouring in every month he doesn't have that motivation to drive him.

Also, I dont know a huge amount about game development, but I do know that coding and implenting content takes a very long time. Could it be has has created huge portions of the game but just has not implemented them? and that instead of spending 2 or 3 more months integrating his new content and missing off more patrons (and losing lots of money) he decided he would be better off implementing it in smaller doses to keep up that fasad? again, i'm not defending him, he's still a lazy scammer, but would this explain what is going on behind the scenes?
