Despite all the comments about Icstor not working on the current update, and posters saying that "the next update will be coming out in June"
Also his Patreon is not yet on hold either, nor is the game in here.


This from Icstor: "I'm still working on the next version of the game"

I wish you well Icstor.

Take a well earned rest whenever you feel it’s necessary. You earned it for maintaining the high quality of this game. In so many respects.

The figures don’t lie, here and on patreon despite all of the trivial criticisms. :coffee:

The hidden cards are not "playable" and you get no benefits from them, apart from perving at the quality of Icstor's work and there's no benefit to them as they're renders requested by Patreon supporters and have no bearing on the game at all. I've never had any issues when replaying scenes, or viewing hidden cards, so it's quite possible that the issue lays with your end and has nothing to do with the game itself, apart from being possibly corrupted when downloading/installing the game (?)

i don't think many on here accouse him of beeing a lazy or a fraud since like you said yourself he put quality work out in the past and this game is no difference, it is way above 95% of other stuff you will find on here.

I think people fear more that the game will find an abrupt end even when he comes back, getting burned out on a project and takeing a break leads often to to finding new projects that bring more joy in once work.
i don't want to say that this will happen here but i would totally understand if he comes back after his break and puts one other update out and then moves on, no one wants to work on something that pulls them down, that will only lead to a lost in quality and if i judge him right that is something he doesen't want.

But also this site is full of abdoned projects so i understand the feelings of some of the louder posters on here.

i hope he will find new strenght after his break and keeps working on this game, or works on another one.


(also sorry about my english, not a native speaker here)
Perhaps, though ICSTOR hasn't given such indications and is only positive about coming back, it sounds.

MrDots recently took a month break from Melody and Dating My Daughter, then came back with a very good Melody installment and by all previews the next DMD (due this week) looks great, too. I think people should realize that the need to decompress is natural and that holidays - not just for immediate health needs, but also for emotional recalibration and stress reduction - should be considered a natural state of things for all of us.

Since these small shops have few people, we happen to see the impacts of their time off compared to the larger ones, as I mentioned: we should expect this to happen and support it as a way for the Dev teams to stay as fit and motivated as possible, IMHO.

Wow, it's sad to hear about another delay.

However, I don't get all the hate that's going on. Icstor is one of the most consistent and reliable devs out there. It's not some guy making Star Wars themed game or something. If anyone can return after a break and successfully finish the game—it's Icstor.

I mean.. yes and no.
Is he better then the large amount of developers that just keep the cashflow going knowing full well that they are done.... 100% yes... And he has my respect for that decision.

But does that also mean that his loyal pledgers....people who are paying for the development of this project...have no right to be angry or disappointed..... No....

If i payed a couple hundreds buck for a project and the developer suddenly decides to take a break because he lost motivation/energy to go on with the project, they have full right to question that.
I also believe that it's large based on fear because these days we all know full to well what it means when a developer decides to "take a break"... Especially with the history of Icstor.

I also don't believe for 1 second that he didn't take a couple breaks during those 4 years, like i said... I followed the development cycles of multiple games under his wing and am fan of almost all of them, and i followed those years enough that there where enough breaks in development where he didn't do any work. (This is of course 100% personal thoughts and don't have any facts for it, just my own personal observation).
But it just seems that every time around a half way mark of a game he just loses motivation and focus for his current project and loses motivation and starts thinking about new ideas (and that causes even more loss of motivation because now he wants to do that new thing).

But to end on a positive note.
Icstor will not vanish from the face of the earth, i don't believe that for 1 second.
Will this game get another update or 2... Yeah... I do think so yes.

Are we going to get all the things he promised and is this game going to be completed.......
Well, i think that's in the same category as Gumdrop releasing his game this year.... Not likely......
So, here's a great example of what I railed at earlier:

1. You are deciding that ICSTOR has had plenty of opportunities for personal time across the past four years or so of cranking out high-quality games, so implicitly question why he needs some time now.

2. His health needs here don't mean anything to you and supporters should feel justified in being angry or disappointed in a Game Dev taking some time for personal needs, even though ICSTOR has otherwise done a stand-up job demonstrating their commitment to game output (with higher quality) for years. So, no sympathy for their situation required: give us the game installment we want, when we want it and stay critical of any delays.

3. You are filling in your lack of knowledge about his personal life with worst-case accusations about his intentions and/or motivations to get back into this game and spreading FUD about an independent producer of high-quality games for a single break they have quite clearly articulated is needed for reasons which have apparently nothing to do with the game itself.

Did I miss anything here?

Yes. There have been three preview images posted. If you're a paying patron, you have access to them. If not, they've already been posted to this thread.

Good game worth waiting for. In the mean time, may i ask any other recomended games that similar to this one? I love the 3d cgi style and all the animated scenes :D

Ps : Just finished "depraved awakening" and "f.i.l.f"

@x0verL0rdx If you haven't already played it, Man of the House is kind of similar in that it's a sandboxy type game with plenty of content and decent renders (I'd say great renders but there are some hilarious/terrifying facial expressions going on sometimes), you also take on a similar role in it.
It's just below Milfy City in the trending games section so you've probably tried it out already, if the fact it's Unity and not Ren'Py didn't put you off.

You are straight up liar. You claim to have followed development cycles of multiple games of ICSTOR and made the claim he isn't working as hard as before. When in fact the development of Milfy City has had more content over the course of its development than compared to Milfs Villa and IC2 combined over the same amount of development time. You would know that if you were actually following the development of those past 2 games. So how can I or anyone take anything you say serious when what you are claiming is not consistent at all?
