2 week work in 2 years. that's amazing, I salute him
I don't know if people are intentionally being ignorant here or just love bashing ICSTOR (hey it's fun and it gets out your frustration, I get it...) but can we get some rationality back in this forum?
I've already made my speculation
here BEFORE the update was even released and I seem to be correct in this theory.
He has work done for at least 2 full updates (0.7 AND 0.8) that means he's currently working on 0.9. What he's doing is releasing a FULL UPDATE in an episodic format which means we'll get less content but we'll get them bi weekly (so much more frequently).
He has work done (in terms of renders not script writing as he hires when he's ready to "print" as confirmed by Onyxdime) and he's created this time lag so that he's now actually ontop of his work and he can sit back a bit more without the pressure of releasing the current update within a few months.
This is how he should have been working from the start, HOWEVER, just because we got the update (which was technically delayed since he promised the 14th and was updated on the 15th instead) we have yet too see if he keeps his 2 week promise on the update. I am not saying he's reformed or changed in anyway, I am still cautious of his "promises" but if I see at least 3-4 updates (that's around 8 weeks) consistently delivered then I'll start thinking about giving him a second chance.
He's made the Patreon post, he's made the promise to keep on schedule now he has to stick to his word.
