That would be creepy, but I don't think so. Nottingham Legal and Commercial Incorporated was what mine showed. Not a single one of those names' first letters matches with my current location. I think it's just randomly chosen from a list of possibilities.
As someone who lives and was born in Nottingham, it's still a bit weird seeing anything from the wider world outside of a Robin Hood film even mention this place.That made me laugh my ass of when I read it. That is some next level paranoia.
Only the renders are crazy good, the best available. The stories are not very good in this game, however. In fact, the story is complete garbage. The initial plot about his embarrassing confession proceeded and then... nothing. It then became updates about a single character and the resulting sex. A character is brought in, a bit of development, sex... gone. There is no real continuity, even Linda's character is not well done. And hers is the most developed character. The kissing animation is really good. The rest are not that great at all. This game could be a Lambo vs bike but instead is more like a half finished build. So it is a bike vs a Lambo up on blocks. The Lambo looks great but it just sits there.He's getting under a tenth of the income of icstor probably because the models looks like they are made on paint.
Im not a icstor fanboy but milfy city is on another league compared to 99,99% of the games here , not only the render are crazy good but animations , story , characters developpement.
Comparing icstor work to this game is pretty much a comparison between a bike to a lambo , both can be used to travel from point A to B but its not the same finition
Yeah I feel like this was a game which I have fond memories of and I still count as one of my favorites, but I wouldn't nescesarily consider it a writing masterpiece.I was replaying Milfy City because I wanted to remember the game on it's full glory, but since I was playing lots of games since the latest release, I realized something: Milfy City is a engaging game with lots of memorable characters, but it's not the most well written game/visual novel ever. Being honest, there's some inconsistencies here and there, mainly involving the Linda/Judy relationship. It's not a bad thing, but it's too bad that the game takes too much time to receive an update. Maybe going back for the game after being with Dreams of Desire or Where the Heart is was a bad idea.
But, honestly, when I look again to Linda/Caroline/Sara, my poor heart melts and I think that this whole recovery time will work well for the game and for ICSTOR.
Do you know how much time these guys spend doing this? It's a ton - like 80+ hours/week. That will take a toll on his health. Plus, who are you to assess what his mental state is?Lol that has to be the lamest excuse ever to take a break I'm not buying the whole 'it's taken a toll on my health' shtick. People with real jobs can work without taking a vacation and getting sick.
I'd respect the dude much more if he'd said 'I want to take a break and enjoy some well-deserved vacation with the money I earned'. At least don't insult my intelligence
I'd suggest that you try being a dev on the side like most dev's here who still work full time jobs/full time study for a month and see what it takes to push out quality content if you think it's a lame excuse.Lol that has to be the lamest excuse ever to take a break I'm not buying the whole 'it's taken a toll on my health' shtick.

How do you know how many hours a week 'they' are putting in? ICSTOR isn't one of the most transparent developers out there. And I didn't talk about his mental state and neither did he. So you are assuming on both counts.Do you know how much time these guys spend doing this? It's a ton - like 80+ hours/week. That will take a toll on his health.

Yeeeeaaaaah... I'm not going to do a job that I don't enjoy AND makes me physically ill so: no thanksI'd suggest that you try being a dev on the side like most dev's here who still work full time jobs/full time study for a month and see what it takes to push out quality content if you think it's a lame excuse.
He said this:How do you know how many hours a week 'they' are putting in? ICSTOR isn't one of the most transparent developers out there. And I didn't talk about his mental state and neither did he. So you are assuming on both counts.
If the dude really has mental issues I don't blame him for taking the time off to solve them. From his statement he makes it sound physical which to me seems kinda far fetched.
He said this:
"(For example no more character polls. I’ll create updates for characters that I’m in the mood for writing about. This should help me avoid getting burned out again.)"
Burned out. Mental state.
As for time, look at the images. You can't get images of that quality by throwing some poses together in Daz, then letting the computer crank them out while you lounge by the pool. That quality takes a lot of time posing, then rendering, then a ton of time in post. And did you notice I said "these guys", not "ICSTOR"? Other devs have posted about how much time they put in, and the ones who make quality renders are saying 80-100 hours of job + game dev. I'm assuming ICSTOR is spending a similar amount of time.
His work speaks volumes for itself. But neither you or I can know how much time he puts in, or his mental state.
you are contradicting yourself in that same postI don't really care about that. What I do care about, is the fact that the dude really seems to be making half-assed excuses whereas if he'd been honest like I said before, I wouldn't mind at all.
'half-assed excuses' is my own personal opinion based on what he said. I'm not assuming they are half-assed. I know they are by reading what he said. He never said anything about his mental state nor did I ever assume what his mental condition is.you are contradicting yourself in that same post
you say you dont know his mental state or no one knows yet you call a fact what you consider "half assed excuses"
calling facts for what you assume for example, also you dont think 4 years of no vacations cant make someone burn out physically or mentally ?'half-assed excuses' is my own personal opinion based on what he said. I'm not assuming they are half-assed. I know they are by reading what he said. He never said anything about his mental state nor did I ever assume what his mental condition is.
Would you care to elaborate or rephrase what you think the contradiction is? I don't see it.
It IS a fact that my opinion of his excuse is half-assed based on what I perceive to be a cheap excuse. He gave me his excuse, I read it and I have formed an opinion about it. And the same is true for you. You assume his excuse is valid and real. I still don't see a contradiction.calling facts for what you asume for example, also you dont think 4 years of no vacations cant make someone burn out physically or mentally ?
Funny i can bet my left kidney if he didnt make as much money as he did. He 100% wouldn't be on some rehab or recharge vacation. I mean i dont really care when he puts out his updates its his game, but if his patreons are buying that bs yeeaaahhhh this ain't it chief.calling facts for what you assume for example, also you dont think 4 years of no vacations cant make someone burn out physically or mentally ?
