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

[ropershy]

I don't think this is the case. Like anything, just vote with your wallet. If nobody paid him then there is no issue here.

Just support active devs and this behavior disappears.

Let me ask you this question. Who is the real customers of Patreon and sites like it? The Devs or those that support the Devs?


It is of course the Supporters cause they are supporting not only the Devs but Patreon as well. So the rules should be there to protect them. But right now the rules protect the Devs.

Now the rules are fine for say Rock bands. They can't be recording a new LP each month. I get that. And I even get that some devs need longer to get their game out and they are honest about that. But we are talking about ICSTOR and those that seem to be following in his foot steps and that number seems to be growing and growing. Everyone knows ICSTOR is full of BS to include Patreon. Yet they still funneled money to him (im not sure what on hold does as far as the money goes. I hope that froze it for now). So for at least 5 months he received close to $25,000 for what? For lying. I don't care how you look at it that is wrong. It is wrong of ICSTOR and it is WRONG of PATREON.

Since I have started playing Milfy City ICSTOR has named about 4 different games he was going to work on instead. Funny I don't recall any of them ever getting released.

So just don’t pay him?

They are just applying the rules, the abandoned tag is for when a dev doesn't show any sign of life for 3 months. As long as Icstor keeps making his "status updates" on patreon they will not add that tag.

That's just stupid, because this thread is not about a developer, but about a specific game. If said game has not been updated it should be tagged as such. Who cares if the developer posts wallpapers, they are not a game update.

 

[ReiCaixa]

I think you are missing the point. after 16 months the dev has gotten paid for a WHOLE YEAR and only given out 4 updates. Then you end up with other devs seeing that and saying. Well if he can do it I can do it as well. This discussion wasn't about this one dev you are talking about but how a majority of the devs have been acting due to copying devs like ICSTOR. They are using the loop holes to get paid for months while not doing anything. That is why the rules need to be changed and stricter for the devs. Right now the Pendulum is in favor of the devs and needs to swing back to be in favor of the true customers of Pentreon. After a while it can slide closer to the middle and all can be happy.

I get your point, but I believe if the dev want to get "paid for a WHOLE YEAR and only give out 4 updates" he can, with the SIMPLE CONDITION that he tells his patrons that he will have 4 updates a year.

If he STATES THAT he will do that, and the fan still WANTS TO support him every single month, it's fine, but if the fan wants to support on months with a release, he also can.

It's that simple.

The only good thing to come out of that announcement was that his next game will come out on Subscribestar, so there won't be any Patreon kink policing the game this time around and no need for patches and whatnot to experience the game as it is meant to be.

 

[sasisa]

Funny thing I think he gets money from subscribestar aswell and new update gonna be on that platform. I checked his subscribestar to see if the article is true and it turns out he put update announcing milfy mafia but not on patreon which sucks for people who still pay him on patreon lol. poor bastards. on Patreon he has been silent about it when I checked.

Trust me on this, he will only provide milfy mafia on SS only, then on Patreon he gonna tell em to subscribe SS as well if they want Milfy Mafia. So those gullible dungs will fund him both platform.

 

[GhostFaceGuy]

Nevertherless he has been keeping on gaining new patrons succsesfully. As it states on today the common number of donaters exeeds 5020 persons. So , the impact of "on hold" tag is a very few.

 

[C00m3rZ00m3r]

I've been out of the loop with the game, last I heard ICSTOR took all the patreon money and dipped. What's happening now? I just read the lewdpixels article but I'm still completely baffed.

 

[Raxac]

Fuc* did he finally realize that he can put Milf City on a ON HOLD, so he don't need to fear that this game will be marked as abandonment again? That's some actual progress here.

So choose the game bad bobby saga much better

That's so fucking insane. Gaining patreons AND racking up subscribestar supporters, something he didn't really have previously. So if anything, he is doing even better now than he was before this game went on hold.

This entire situation with the patreon content review just gave him a legit excuse to 1) not work on Milfy City, 2) look like a martyr to his fans, and 3) crank up his Subscribestar for a new game that he isn't going to do shit with beyond some drip feeding. I don't know if this dude is the luckiest man on earth or the smartest, but clearly the universe approves of his methods. He can't lose.

 

[Gzhindra]

If he was honest and not a lying POS, he could at least release the Judy renders that were supposedly made already (pretty obvious they never existed).

 

[AchedCroissant]

He will release "the new game" only on subscribestar, but not patreon? So why doesn't he just release the original version of Milfy City on subscribestar as well? What in fuck is this guy's problem?

He want more money

He want more money

Has anyone introduced the idea to him, that, a good games with updates makes even MORE money?

That involves working and he earns money without getting his fat ass off the bed.

I paid for about a year. But stopped last year about march. I guess your not getting my true point. I love these games. But these loop holes aren't helping the Games. The devs aren't doing this anymore for the love of the game they created but for the LOVE OF MONEY. Due to these loop holes all they have to do is start a game, update it a few times and then lie from then on while they count their money. It is also hurting upcoming Devs. How many people would have supported upcoming devs but they have been lied to over and over by devs like ICSTOR so now they won't support any dev again? I know I'm one of those.

 

[Deleted member 396172]

time to move on guys , this developer think only about the money, having fun in his life with ur money , laughing at u guys who still supporting him.

 

[ludobico]

that's how it should be...
