I have to disagree with you @Sam
Off the top of my head the only dev that tried to change the scope of his work is Dark Silver (from Big Brother), and we all know how that went :eek:

In most cases, if not all, once the dev gets tons of cash from patreon they get slower and slower, or just give up and peace out with the cash.
Many successful games have increased in scope, Milfy City being one of them, Summertime Saga, Mythic Manor, Waifu Academy to name a few.

As projects mature it's understandable that updates take longer as there are more paths and stories to work on, and continuing ever advancing stories takes longer to develop and write. When the scope or size of the game also increases, it's inevitable that development time takes longer as well. You can't just expect more money to solve the problem either, that is, until cloning technology is invented.

Too many people have no idea of the time and effort it takes to develop games, and expect everything yesterday. Sure some developers are shady, but don't tar all developers with the same brush just because a minority act poorly.

I'm not trying to defend ICSTOR and even not a patron of him, but want to point out that sometimes a dev gets slower and slower due to branching of story and/or sandbox design issues which gets harder in time with big content games or just burn out or real life issues. So it's not always about scam.

But if you guys are still searching for a dev who works like a machine, then here comes a shameless advertising of a dev who really works hard, never burned out (and hopefully never will be), releasing content filled updates always on time for months and his game is his main job.

hello, can someone tell me how I can get all the pictures galleries. I always miss some of them, although I've searched everywhere the puzzle pieces and had clicked. Thank you very much.

My thought has been that ICSTOR has a pretty strong rep before this when it came to meeting his deadlines. Seems like shit has gotten real for him, so I don't think it's a big issue to cut him a little slack for it.

Like that annoying Grubhub commercial, "I want it all, I want it now." Reality isn't like that, Millennials, it's more like, "You'll get what you get when you get it, and not before."

Eh I think the problem most people are having is not that the game is being updated it's that there's been no real check in type update at all, one thing AAA develpers are good for is keeping the fanbase updated throughout the process ex Cyberpunk 2077 now I know yearly releases and monthly are two different thinks but I think it would've helped alot of people if ICSTOR did a weekly or biweekly check in type update not even necessarily about the game but just how he's feeling in general it would help, me personally I can wait however long it takes but I thought I'd throw my two cents in.

I agree communication is important but you also have to take into consideration ICSTOR doesn't have a 400+ member dev team like Cyberpunk 2077 has. CD Projekt definitely has the extra man-power to regulate proper communications. lol

True no arguments here I think this game has garnered so much positive attention that some people forget it's a one man show

I love CD Projekt Red but there were like 5 years between the teaser trailer of Cyberpunk and last years' E3 trailer/gameplay demo with nothing inbetween. Also the Witcher 3 was delayed twice if I remember correctly. Once from like Q4 2014 to march 2015 and then again to may 2015.
I'm assuming people complained about that too, but after those delays, the end product was so good, it is considered to be one of the best games of this generation and turned the company from this relatively small, somewhat niche, promising dev team to everyones darling that is developing the most anticipated game right now. Almost like those delays turned out to be worth it...

I don't have a problem with longer waits. the game is really high quality, it takes time to do it right. Only thing I would like is more frequent development updates, just to get a sense on how things are going.

Side-note. Just replayed the game today. Might need to make replaying this a weekly thing, for you know...reasons.
