In ~7 months (188 days) of development, he has-
2300+ Renders and 60K+ words (not 2000 and 10k)
Then there is the small matter of animations. He hasn't given us a number yet, but it's safe to assume it'll be 50 minimum. It could be as high as 100-150 even.
The code also has to be WRITTEN.
Finally testing and bug fixing.
so I request you to EDIT YOUR POST AND UPDATE IT WITH THE CORRECT INFORMATION.
You're welcome.

Hi I'm currently in the Sara storyline. In classroom she mentioned a webcam, so I bought the software in the store, but no matter what I do, I can't install it to my computer (have it activated in inventory, then click my PC, I can only use it or play games, and there's no new icon)

He did. It's about 20.
So 50 isn't really safe to assume. Let alone 150...

So I kindly ask you in a shouting voice to

EDIT YOUR POST AND UPDATE IT WITH THE CORRECT INFORMATION.

I don't see your game.
Did you make an update with 1000+ HQ renders & 20+ HQ animations in a month??

Care to share your secret as to how you accomplished so much in so little time. Maybe all the devs here can learn a thing or two
The guy who made the Xmas episode managed to make an update with 500+ HQ renders and 30+ HQ animations in a month. There is also this guy who appareantly managed to create 1000+ HQ renders in 3 weeks.
Oh wait, my bad all of these are the same person.

The problem with Icstor isn't that he is taking his time. The problem is he is missing his own deadlines/estimates by months while providing contradicting development updates.

You say this as though he was always this tardy.
Rarely did he ever give "deadlines/estimates".
Due to the circumstances faced during this update, he's been forced to do what he has. You want him to keep on giving reasons and excuses instead of focusing his entire energy on finishing the update? Because if not for people's persistent badgering for a release date, he would have just released the game, without giving ETAs and crap

Has he? Did he really have to stop the development at 70%, instead of wrapping things up, releasing a smaller update and then going on vacation? And when he came back, did he really have to add on to the already heavily delayed update? Did he really have to develop shit nobody wants like the minigames and the neighbors?

Literally the opposite. I want him to be honest. He came back from his break in early June and said the release estimate is somewhere in August. That was not something other people who made him do it. Most expected it earlier since the update was supposedly 65% done. He then on August 8th remained that he hopes to release it in August. Think that was honest now 2 months later?

I actually laughed out loud at that. Man those 3 dev updates in 2 months must have taken weeks to write. C'mon man.

Stopped reading there. Who is this guy? What is he trying to accomplish? I suppose his point was that we should praise the lazy and deceitful developer? And he proves his statement with lies himself? What a shame.

Ok, I looked through the post and I can say that that is all bullshit, I don't know where did he get those numbers. The simple math: he worked around 7.5-8 months: ~9.5 total, since 25 dec, minus 1.5-2 months off (we can't be sure, since he returned 3 times: ~15 may, ~30 may, and ~14 june), the amount of renders to this point is 2237, which means 278-298 renders per month. I don't need to mention some other devs to compare, I suppose it's quite obvious that this is not good enough. The most interesting thing though is that, around 900 of these renders, he made for 3 weeks (News #15, 8 aug - 1100 - News #16, 30 aug - 2000), which means that most of the time he produced around 184-198 renders per month.

Why are you here if you hate him so much? what are YOU trying to accomplish? you trying to say he abandoned the game?
or his quality is piss poor that your eyes get scorched when you look at them?

Please do mention the other devs, that produce such numbers and quality, and while you're at it, play those games and ignore this one. They are honourable, punctual, honest people, unlike the toxic ICSTOR. Surely some of those amazing devs must've released an update by now. Or you did play and finish all those games in less than 15 mins?

You are a simple-minded fellow, so I forgive you for THINKING. You don't need to stress your brain. Relax or there won't be any blood flowing to your dick.
Ok, so 184-198 renders per month, what about the animations?
Do you think he is a machine to rigorously grind out exactly 400 renders per month? or is it that the story is so linear and one-directional that he just has to make small changes here and there to get those renders?

Only if weren't so dependent on his game!! You'd have a calmer, more fulfilling life.

Not a regular occurrence and this game is worth the wait. More so for caroline's update

It's simple math. If you weren't replying to refute people in a pointless argument you'd have a calmer, more fulfilling life.

ICSTOR's lazy. Simple as that.
