Thanks mate for the info cheers to you
Well he is 100% fuckin right but cheers mate you've added nothing.

I just noticed these alleged news about an upcoming update last week and I'm shocked that some people resubbed to his patreon. How long has this been going on? I mean if icstor had any morals left the game should be finished completely free.

I remember that. In my opinion zooms, different angles, and repeat renders do not count as unique renders.

I'm not sure how animating works, but I imagine it's something like 30 renders per second of animation? If that's the case then there would be 150 renders in a 5 second animation. I do not consider this to be an extra 150 renders - it's simply 1 animation.

Likewise, a slow and a fast variant of the same animation isn't two separate animations when I count them.



Macy's content is just ecchi stuff. She's there, but not a fuckable waifu.



Yeah, I'd hate to be those poor pirates having to go over 125,000+ words and rewrite everything to be Patreon non-compliant. It would be exhausting.
I loved what I played so far.. as a dev of the game... how long until the next update?

I enjoy your game, it's one of the few that has the main character getting pegged, which is fucking fantastic.

One thing to keep in mind when making comparisons is the size of the relative updates, specifically the render, animation, and word counts.

The situation over here is there was a 2 year silence when ICSTOR (inexcusably) disappeared.

Off the top of my head, development resumed around October 2022 when I received new renders for either Celia or Linda (can't recall which one, it'll be back in this thread). The new 3D artist was hired and trained in November/December 2022.

From October 2022 to present I have received renders and animations for:
-Linda
-Celia
-Sara+Macy
-Lily (Lily got enough content to distinctly create her own side-character route)
-Delilah
-Judy
-Violet
-Various minor male characters (Bob, other background and supporting characters etc.)

I am only waiting on:
-Liza and Yazmin.

At a rough estimate I've received about 3,700 renders so far + a shitload of animations per sex scene (in the instances where ICSTOR has also included the animations in what he sent me), and I'm expecting that render count to jump over 4,000 when I receive Liza and Yazmin today.

I don't know how many animations there are going to be in the final version, but to give you one specific example, in just one of Celia's (many) sex scenes there are 17 animations (31 actually, but I'm not going to count a slow/fast variant as a separate animation.) In another of Celia's sex scenes there are 24 animations (27 if you include the variants - but I don't think they count as separate). Delilah, a relatively minor character with a more limited number of sex scenes, has 50+ unique animations. This has been replicated across the sex scenes for every one of the characters I have written for, so there are literally hundreds and hundreds of animations on top of the renders.

On my side of the business, the word count has reached: 121,510. (This isn't counting Sara's final scene, which I'm currently in the process of writing. It also doesn't count Lily's additional content that I'm creating myself to give her route a better pacing).

This is what has been completed in 8 months (October to December with a team of 3, and January to May with a team of 4).
How many animations have been added for Linda?

ICSTOR is very much involved in the production of renders and animations as well. The rendering is probably the lengthiest part of the game creation, so having a second hand speeds up the production process.

As the team currently sits we have:
ICSTOR - 3D Renders for main girls + Bob + Animations + certain effects like semen etc.
New 3D Artist - 3D Renders for non-main girls like Delilah, Liza, Yazmin, Lily, Macy.
Programmer - A literal magician. Programs the text and renders into the game.
Me - Writing, and some admin stuff like organising the job interviews, helping write the Patreon update progress logs etc.
Okay, much thanks for explaining :)

Alright then, I'll take some of the work load if there's too much, wouldn't be the first time I've sped up a game's release. DM if you wish.
