I mean, it is a pity really. If the Dev just put in the effort he would have made more money. complete this game and work on others. Intentionally dragging out things out gives you short term boons, sure, I get it. But putting in the leg work will gift you more money in the long run. It's a shame, really, that short term greed often consumes some developers.

Personne ne connaît un codeur indépendant qui aurait pu prendre le contrôle du jeu parce qu'il était vraiment bon.
Y a un copyright même pour les jeux de ce genre et coder ne sert à rien, si il n'y a pas les animations et images derrière. Faudrait en plus un artiste Daz pour conclure les différentes routes.

Well he's already made 7 figures off his games and is still pulling in over 6 figures a year. He's probably already set for life and doesn't need more money, and even if he's not now he will be by the time his patreon ever truly dies. So at this point he'd probably rather just never do any work and have endless free time than make more money. And if his patreon ever drops he'll just send onyxdime or someone else to go try and convince people to resubscribe, if that doesn't work he can always actually do some work and release some updates, and if that doesn't work and his patreon does die for good then he won't care because he hasn't worked in years and will never have to work again. You are right he could make even more money long term, but he doesn't need it and clearly prioritizes his free time over even more money.

F.I.L.F. is basically the same, the story is much more simple, but the game mechanic is exactly the same. And, as a bonus, the dev is consistent, active and doesn't waste time. Is also available on STEAM.
meh, iccreations is by far less scammy than ICSTOR but he has also had LOONG pauses with silent treatment. Also his games have become buggy as hell which is quite annoying

Even as late as the middle of March he was still claiming that the update would be out in March.
No he said it is possible to come out in March IF he would get the renders in time. But Lazy Icstor hasn´t done that so Onyx said that April is more likely. But I think Icstor fucked up yet again. You can´t give the writer the fault IF he didn´t get the Renders in time, that´s the artist fault (Icstor and the "Team" who helps with the renders).

If it was supposedly so close to being completed it would be out in 2 weeks, then how are we going into may with no release in sight? How did it go from 2 weeks until release in mid March, to the update only being 70% completed a month later? But even though he said it was 70% completed he still said it’d be released in April? But just like March, that obviously didn’t happen.
Maybe it´s Icstors Work that´s missing here. They said that they hired People to help with the renders. Maybe the Renders from the other people are done and Icstors Renders are missing because of his laziness. That would be a typical Icstor Issue.

He was just working for incstor trying to make people feel like the game was alive again so that they’d resubscribe to the patreon.
Yes that could be the case. But otherwise Onyxdime said multiple times to NOT subscribe and to wait until the previews and the games got leaked. He openly said to wait for leaks in regard of Icstor. So it´s a 50/50 if he did it for Icstors Favor or not.

Onyxdime actually praised Icstor because as he said he paid him well in the past.
Onyx praised Icstor back in 2018 when the Game was still rolling good. The Quote that someone mentioned was from 2018. We don´t know for sure if Onyx has the same opinion nowadays.

Is there any actual recent evidence that the April deadline is real? Like, actual communication from ICSTOR? As far as I can tell this is probably just second-hand trolling from the discord.

That being said-- Yeah, fuck milkers. But-- I love how everyone wants to be a socialist and declare we should have 4-day work weeks and 90 days of paid vacation for everyone, but when the indy developer they give $5/mo to wants to take some time off they turn into Ebenezer Scrooge McDuck and start cracking the whip.
You should have probably stopped at "fuck milkers"
