Ren'Py Completed Milfy City [v1.0e] [ICSTOR]

[watermankaku]

Surprisingly, it seems that the author has started to form a team to work!

 

[watermankaku]

3:13am and Pool Girl's final draft is fully done! Finally got the ending I wanted.

Going to take a brief nap, then get cracking on the next character.

Okay, that's half 4 in the morning. Only 143 images left to go in the backlog and I'm back on track for the new work that has come in. Actually going to sleep for the night now.

Thank you for your reply, which made me understand the process of game making. In the past, I always thought that the author was working alone.

Onyxdime is just a writer for the story, he hasn´t been involved with the renders. Why should he be lying? There is no reason to lie. Also you can´t say that he would be involved in this scam at all. Onyx is just writing the story as a Freelancer, he is only involved in this project when there is actually work for him to write the story.

You are not believing Onyx until he admits to be involved in scam? Well he can´t obviously because Onyx never was involved with the scam. It was all Icstor himself, not his Writer.

And no, I´m not believing in Icstor, you can´t write that I would be a Fanboy. I criticised Icstor multiple times.

You were just stupid with posting this kind of bullshit. You simply can´t give a worker the fault when the culprit was his Boss. Icstor is the only one to blame.

By the few post Onyx put out (#67,391 / #67,393 / #67,401), it does looks like he is involved with the render. Maybe not always but definetely now he is.

I don't know how you got that impression because the posts you mentioned don't say that at all

I do see what you mean on some of the post, but the last it does give the impression that he is involved.

They really don't, in all of them he's talking about renders he receives from icstor or someone else on the team... they do have a weird workflow where the renders are made first based on an outline of the story and then he writes the dialogues based on the renders, i guess that could be a bit confusing if you're reading about it

It kinda weird that the renders are created first and then the writing is based on renders provided. It would be more effective to write up the story first and then do the renders based on the writing.

Just to clear the process up for everyone.

1.) ICSTOR and/or the new 3D artists will create a character model and some sample files for how they will look.
2.) ICSTOR designs a story outline, completes the renders, and then sends a brief paragraph of the story outline to me.
Alternatively, ICSTOR may decide to let me design the character's plot, as was the case with Delilah. I would then draft a plot and sent it to them for approval.
3.) ICSTOR and the 3D artists would then produce and send me the renders. If it is an ICSTOR-created character then I get a few sentences of plot for the scenes and fully flesh out the characters with proper dialogue. If it is my own plot that I submitted to ICSTOR, then I only need the renders sent across to me.
4.) After writing the scene, I send a Google Doc back to ICSTOR. While I am writing this, ICSTOR usually prepares the animations. The Google Doc allows editing to be done by multiple people in real time and also allows for comments/changes to be left and tracked which is useful, given that the team spans multiple countries.
5.) The programmer will then take my writing, the rendered images, and the animations and program them into the game. This stage is magic. Nobody quite knows how they do it.

It's a little more complex than that, and I've recently added in some project management stuff since November, but it gives you a basic overview of how things operate.

I'll also typically write, then rewrite a character's scene based on what happens. For example, I might reach the end of a character's renders and notice that if I swapped images 87, 88, and 89, then I can change a character's mood and influence the ending of a particular story. With that information in mind I can go back and redraft earlier parts of the text to reflect the upcoming conclusion.

With all due respect. This is probably something you should have said back in September. Not just weeks before the "said" release of the update. Right now most of us don't really care how things operate at this point. We just want the release or the excuse for the delay.

I have continually explained the process time and time again throughout this thread. I think I've also explained it back in 2018/19, but I can't be bothered checking back that far.

10 days to March, Is he ready

 

[watermankaku]

Cool. In short, it's always good to have news. Sometimes most people are just curious about the recent situation.

Not funny, bro, not funny..

I do, in fact, think this game will see a final release. However, that doesn't excuse the YEARS of milking. In my book, that is a pretty shitty thing to do. But hey, if idiots are willing to pay then good for ICSTOR.

Here is what I think is going on. ICSTOR had a good thing going, especially when the money was (and still is) flowing. Some people get comfortable. They lose motivation and if they don't have to do much then why really try? Especially when not trying is just as lucrative as trying. I think the abandoned tag and obvious decline in revenue flow put a flame under ICSTOR's ass to get things going.

I think ICSTOR shouldn't have set a release date he clearly cannot hit. Maybe he was a little too optimistic or maybe he knows he will still make money when he moves the goalpost YET AGAIN. Either way, it's pretty shitty. From a strictly business perspective it's a master class in making money haha. I think outside of knowing he didn't have to do much and still make money, he is shitty with time management.

I am going to make a prediction and say we see the final game in August/September 2023. Considering the amount of work needed as indicated by Onxydime. At the end of the day, we can't deny the impact this game has had on the scene. Love it or hate it, this game is a cornerstone of this site lol.

Thank you for your reply, which made me understand the process of game making milking. In the past, I always thought that the author was working alone.

here, I have corrected that for you

As a side note, I think master scammer icstor may indeed release final big update sometimes this/next year. Thanks to that he will be free to start another scam game and have steady supply of money. Never less he is still a scamer that lied multiple times for years, took the money and did not respect his fans at all. Even if game is released he will not change.

Also, just because he wrote few posts and released some renders (maybe years old) like 30% of his patrons started supporting again People are just so stupid

Hope you enjoy the full game when it comes out.

 

[Savor]

we all will enjoy it when it comes out, thats out of the questions.
the real question is if it actual comes out

No the real question is: why do we all keep asking that same question, while we all know no one but one single person know the answer to it?

 

[JugarComica]

Hi there:

Let's see now, you are a lawyer that runs his own business by doing contracting work, then recently decided to take time off to concentrate on writing for the upcoming game release due to a bunch of new game images received and have another bunch awaiting. I wonder if your private law firm will suffer by taking this action, hope not. Anyway, shouldn't you be staying away from this site to focus all your time on your writing work instead of defending the negativity around here. Something does not add up.

Are we finally going to have the opportunity to impregnate Caroline? (or any of the women in this game)
