Anyone notice "first preview 16th" written on the card to the right side of the valentine's picture? Would this mean the first preview image is coming March 16th?
Hopefully you are correct. I just hope this update isn't being rushed and doesn't end up being short on content. Caroline is the first character to be at 5/5 with this version and so far she's the most conservative when it comes to sex so this update needs to be BIG for her.

And I don't disagree. But you said you didn't know any Dev who pumps out content and I just pointed out that there are devs who pump better amount of content than ICSTOR. That's all.
Alright so I did a little research. Acting Lessons first update and Milfy City 2nd update was dropped almost at the same time, May 1st week. So lets count the no. of renders and animations since then till now.
Acting Lessons totally had around 5000 renders. Excluding the first update, it decreases to 4700 renders. Add 1300 renders from the first release of BADIK and the total renders of DrPinkCake comes up to 6000 renders.
For Milfy City, 320 for v0.3, 1200 for v0.4, 800 for v0.5 and 500 for the Xmas version comes up to 2820 renders. That's less than half of DrPinkCake's.
Animations:
Acting Lesson total animation count = 217. Excluding the first release, 207 animations remain. 51 animations of BADIK takes the total up to 258.
Milfy City = 23+93+60+31 = 207 animations.
Talking about animations, BADIK contains animations from 6-38 seconds without looping. There are animations with 700 and 900 frame of renders.
Let me remind you again that I'm not taking anything away from what ICSTOR has created. He is a one of the top developers and I love his work. But there are hard-working devs here.
I was just stating the facts. If you want me banned for that, I don't know what to say.
I did some research of my own and it's true that those numbers seem greater if you look from the outside. You need to dig a little deeper. In truth, for a single scene, he makes 1 animation with the characters in the same position/poses, and they are very much, 1 second looped animations. He renders it from 2 or 3 camera-angles and then for each angle the video playback speed is changed to 3 speeds (fast, mid and slow). From what i can see, most of his animations are done in this manner. This is what ICSTOR USED to do in his older RPGM games.
Therefore, his animations count can be considered only half of what you've calculated (~130 in total in the game).
The renders are of a pretty high quality as well, but they are still 2-3 levels below icstors. And the more details and higher quality the render, the longer the render time. But still ~6K renders is a very good number.
Now coming to ICSTOR's animations. you may find a few instances where he's just sped up the video playback speed. You might find 10-20 such videos (ignoring such vids, number comes down to around 180+ in total in the game). But that's all. Most of his animations have much more details and quality, so much more work goes into making them. He's actually spending time changing the poses, positions, adding in the fine details of how the body parts that need to move in a given scene, move! not the whole body, swinging one way and the other, like a plastic toy. Not saying that they are perfect or flawless. But they are as good as it can get.
It's that quality and attention to detail that got him 5k+ patreon, not just the sheer numbers he pumps out.
I get your point that there are a few creators out there who do push out content. But those numbers aren't a true reflection of the quality of the work or the amount of work that has been done.
To those who think he's actually a milker, try to understand that he does so much more work than most of the creators here. He's just as hardworking, if not the most hardworking creator in business currently. He provides a hell of a lot of quantity at a very very high quality.
The post I copied to here is the latest info available [And still is. I've just looked on Patreon and Discord] and it talks about adding previews in the middle of February, not March.
