v0.5 released nov 2018. v0.6 now 60% ready in March 2019 so in almost 5 months 60% so at this rate another 4 months to go so July 2019?? this is really poor when you look on patreon and see $100 tier is sold out and how many other tiers there are. all this monthly money yet developer is taking so so long to develop. at this speed those giving the 100 tier would paid almost 1000 from 0.5 to 0.6 coming out.
Don't spread false information.

0.5 was released near end of Nov/start of dec. The christmas update came a month after 0.5, which he didn't have to do and was more than within his rights to take a break. Work on 0.6 started only in mid Jan, so it's been only 3 months or so. BTW did i forget to mention he isn't dropping an update with merely 100 images and 1 or 2 one second looped animations, these updates are gigantic. 0.5 had 800 new renders and 60 new animations, 0.4 had 1200 renders and 93 animations. 0.6 will have similar numbers. These cannot be acheived because he makes more money, there is a lot of work that has to be done.

The 100$ patreons can cancel their pleadge if they want just as the other paterons can. They don't feel cheated, so they continue to support. Even if the next update is dropped in July 2019, they know it's worth it.

If all you want are regular, timely updates, check out Man of the House (Faerin). They drop an update every 2 weeks with whatever content the made in that period.

hey while i agree his updates are bigger its still not good if wait is like half a year between. and you contradict yourself you say dont spread false information. and the say 0.5 was released nov/dec. i said it was released in november and the date of release as it is on patreon page was November 18th so this information is not false i also said that as of march it says it is 60% done and again today is march and the patreon page shows today its 60% done so i used math to work out at this pace it would be end jun to jul. while your argument that the updates are bigger is valid. your claim my statement was false information is infact false information it is base on facts.

yes there was an extra xmas game but this was a side game based on the people from milfy city it is not actuallyin the game.

so points are yes i agree games good and updates are big but my statement wether you like it or not was not false

You are using realy strange math.
15 jan/6 march is 60 %.
I can't see how the other 40% will be until July

You're either being daft on purpose or deliberately trolling.

Who do you think worked on that Xmas episode? I'll tell you who, the exact same people who work on v0.6.
So, can you elaborate how those exact same people were supposed to make any progress with v0.6 during the development of the Xmas game?

Did they invent human cloning maybe?

According to you, this update would take 9 months to complete.

As you previously commented "v0.5 released nov 2018. v0.6 now 60% ready in March 2019 so in almost 5 months 60% so at this rate another 4 months to go so July 2019??"

Assuming you counted from the begining of November, as of March it will be barely 4 months. The final bugfix version 0.5c came out on 20th Nov according to the OP, so in reality it's been 3 1/2 months, not 5.
Now remove a month for the CHRISTMAS UPDATE you so casually ignore because you don't see it in the MAIN GAME. The one that came after 0.5.
We are left with 2 1/2 months now. From this, only a mere 15 days is all icstor took for his vacation, which he informed to his patreons, and anyone following the development closely knew about.
So in approximately 2 months, he's done 60%, which would take the projected completion date to somewhere in April at this rate and a total completion time of 3 to 4 months.

"all this monthly money yet developer is taking so so long to develop". You literally stated more than double the time it would take to develop 0.6.

As for patreon itself, you need to understand no one is paying to buy Icstor's product. They are merely providing financial support to help in development of the Icstor's projects. It's their choice rather than an obligation. He has almost 5000 because he is good. There are maybe few other devs who can claim the quality and qunatity he provides. If they did they'd have 5k+ patreons as well.

So coming back to your initial statement again, "at this speed those giving the 100 tier would paid almost 1000 from 0.5 to 0.6 coming out."

Again another over exaggerated, false bit of information. Firstly, it should be from the christmas update to 0.6. Next, it'll be only 3 or 4 months since the last update. So it'll be 300-400$, they would've CONTRIBUTED, not paid, towards the development of the game, since they received a new build. Not to forget their reward of choosing the details of the secret scenes.

Hopefully, next time try not to spread your false OPINIONS.

15 Jan to 6 Mar is just under 2 months, not 3. My guess would be mid april.

People do ask on Patreon.. but still "stamp their feet and pout" and "throw toys out of the pram" because it's now March and there's no sign of the game, even though we're just under a week in to the month!

Icstor says it's due in March so wait until it's nearly gone then voice "concerns" and stop being a Patreon patron (stop payments) after. I am [since Xmas] and I'm not bitching, if it's late then I'll ask why and consider stopping payments then, and not before.

They could also try asking on Discord as well (if they're brave enough to do so, especially when asked if theyr'e not a paying member and where they got the game from!) lol
And yet many are still here still voicing their opinion because it's a popular way to get the VN. You and others have been helping others to try and explain how it all works yet there's still the same comments from time to time. That's not going to go away as we both know and have seen from past posts but if they're constructive and genuinely wanting to find out then we should encourage that. It's when they're not so helpful that it's a bit too much :)

I like how people think devs should be doing nothing, but working on these games 24/7.

the game wont let me put a review it just keeps saying oops so heres what i was trying put.
star rating : 4 out of 5

This is one of the best games out there. Story is good and believable and there is already fair bit of content too.

Graphics: 5/5
Story: 5/5
Content: 5/5
Gameplay: 5 /5

now the issues.
due to updates being so big you tend to complete then have move onto something else for long time as only seem get 2-3 updates a year.

Most disappointing point in the game is once you complete all content with a girl then that girl just completely vanishes except for in bed at night, are we really suppose believe Caroline and Sara etc just get up in morning before mc and hide in another city until they go to bed? and Sara doesn't even go to school anymore?? once you get to end of current work for each character then all characters should still be in the game in certain places with some repeatable content and not just vanish off the earth.

Also so much of game is under progress so please don't try coming with new updates that introduce new characters until you dealt with all this under progress as there plenty characters already in the game who still have little to no content, including the teacher who caused the whole story all you can do is blackmail on a computer. you still cant go to her house yet. and shes the whole reason for the game. therapist still no real content. Sara's friend next to nothing and list goes on.

will easily be a 5 star game once complete as has so much potential just hope for more interactions with each girl once they get to end of there content than just in sleep.

I have to say that considering the amount of patrons, the time it is taking for 0.6 to release is disappointing. Even if all of the patrons only paid $1 each, the developers are pocketing $5,000 per month and have made over $15,000 since the last update with nothing to show for it. That is a yearly salary for many people. There are developers here with far less patrons and many working on their own with much more activity.

I rarely ever rant but considering the progress is only at 60% then I can't see 0.6 releasing before April and 4 months between updates given the funding available to the developers is simply astounding. I'm surprised they still have so many patrons if I am honest.

In fact, patrons should do what I used to do with Leonizer's website (before I found this website) and that is to subscribe when an update is released and then cancel afterwards. That is if the developer is taking forever.

Considering the guy is making at least $5000 a month bare minimum if every one of his 5000 patrons were only giving $1 each, yes I expect $5000 per month worth of content and I don't see it. It's amazing to me that people take the "it's just a mod/free game" attitude and apply it to someone who is being paid more than most people who went to university specifically to deliver this product.

This is why the VN/game industry is shit, these people that excuse bad behavior and work/business ethic. You are being paid to deliver a product. And this is right there with the "you can't criticize it they worked really hard on it". It doesn't matter how hard you worked on something if your end delivery is shit. That's not real life expectations.
