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

[Onyxdime]

anything below 50,000 renders is disappointing

Delilah (The Pool Girl) had around 320 renders, given that she was just a side character.

The text for her story is 21,944 words long according to my Google Docs. If you exclude 1,129 instances of words which were instructions to the programmer, then you're left with 20,815 words - or an average of 65 words per render.

50,000 renders at an average of 65 words per render is 3,250,000 words.

That's the equivalent of writing the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy, plus the Hobbit... six times over. (All Tolkien's works add up to 576,459)

Or if you prefer a different measurement, it is the entire Harry Potter series written three times over. (1,084,170 words)

Now, it certainly isn't the quality of either of those series - and about 15% of what I write is "Ugh!" "Ah!" "Ohhh!", but it does give you an idea of the sheer amount of time it takes.

Can you tease me about Caroline pwease :3

...not a single preview or animation has been displayed to prove that progress is happening..."

That's not quite true though, is it?

ICSTOR has been releasing previews. The 5th one that he released was literally straight from the Pool Girl plot that I was talking about.

In terms of speed of the updates, I personally think ICSTOR should just scrap the X/15 limit and just release stuff on a twice-weekly basis until release date. There's literally thousands of unseen renders that they could pick from.



As soon as I get the final renders sent across I'll make sure to do a live countdown of how many I have remaining. That should offer some more accountability in terms of work being done, at least from the writing side of things.

I can't discuss any content unfortunately. However, did you ever see the original Caroline storyboard?

ICSTOR and I planned out her character arc and it includes some (very) early renders of Caroline and alternative clothes that we were debating to put on her.

I do have to STRESS that we are still working on content as fast as we can, so please don't give up on our project; I promise we're not gonna let you down.

I graduated from college, served in the army and received a master's degree. Tell me how long it takes for one visual novel.

I know, it's been 6 years now. Far too long in development.

What I really find that the sad part is.
Not even an official textual update on patreon explaining why it has been delayed....
Again after 2.5 years

At least icstor should have the decency to explain it all because now people are getting more upset.

And hopefully the update will come before milfy mafia.

Update will definitely come before Milfy Mafia; I know that because I haven't been asked to write anything at all for Milfy Mafia yet.

 

[Orgitas]

The devs of this game and HalfWay house should make a game together. Granted, we might not see the first chapter until 2150 given how slow they are.

What's the matter? Milfy Mafia will be delayed too

Can you promise to release the final update in April?

 

[Mapedi]

Probably not

tick tock tick tock

 

[watermankaku]

This game is accumulating enough content, and maybe the next time I see it is at the TGA award ceremony.

 

[Chicha]

hahahahahahahahaha

very smart to be icstor´s supporter nowadays

 

[Ennoch]

It is so weird people expecting a set date while the guy can't even keep up with a fix schedule of releasing a single preview render Icstor is as reliable and trustworthy as your friendly neighborhood burglar.



I mean he will reliably steal stuff from you if you trust him and i guess that makes him more reliable than Icstor so i apologise from all burglars for besmirching their good reputation as dedicated criminals!

I think he also used one of his writers to do damage control for him. I haven't been so active in this thread but it seemed like there were a lot of "Man, we are making SO much progress" statements that came up in particular for this March "release".

 

[mohair]

No change from the last update I gave in comment #68,071


Only thing I'm waiting on being sent across to me is the renders for Sara/Lily and Liza/Yazmin.

I wish it took so much time to release the final version
Add the harem/marriage section to the game(for game end)
And the game after the end of the last quest, instead of ending and going to the main menu, with the opening of features and relationships like the open world games, like Grand Theft Auto, and the scenes can be repeated again.

as i said before i don't think you're a scammer, but don't you think it's a bit of bad taste to rickroll someone? especially in this context, it makes you look bad imo
