I'm going through this right now (online classes make this worse because of the added mental distance). It sucks. Might not be the right venue, but if you know anything that could help a mf get past the mental block, it would be helpful.

By all chances, you are correct. But in the end, why do you care? If new version ever gets released, you will get it here.Ashbash wrote that they "can go back to normality"just LOL, so going back to milking as always and next small update in summer next year?

yeah some games are dumb in that you have to be in certain areas to access map, to speed up time etc.

i do not care any more, but it is amusing to see how much Patreon system and human naivety can be exploited.

I just read that: "The writer has done a ffull review of the texts in the game, changing any texts in every scene that may have terminology that have breaches patrons policies and they have all been rewriten and fixed." And I think I'll keep the old game from these changes. Who knows if one day it will not be worth a lot as a collector's object.

I call bullshit on the "900+ A4 pages". I also very highly doubt there are 900+ A4 PAGES worth of dialogue in this game.
Movie scripts aren't even that long, Google says they are typically 90-120 pages for a 90 MINUTE film.
This game's dialogue is pretty much "Ahh--ahhh", "YYess...<MC>", "I am C-cuuuming!"...It's not exactly Shakespeare is it...
Also he's talking about stuff they've EDITED, so he's suggesting the game's overall dialogue is larger than 900+ A4 pages...think about that...it doesn't add up for a game this size.

Obviously that is just an exaggeration so that the nearly three month delay would be approved by his patrons when he finally gets his page back up. Proper video games today do have scripts that can run anywhere from 300 to 600 pages, which is damn much more compared to the average feature-movie scripts, but not a single independent porn game has 900+ A4 page scripts, let's be real here.
Everything this Dev or his "TEAM" say is BULLSHIT!
I could be wrong but the main things that needed changing is the blackmailing of Celia, sleep sex and maybe Sara looking so underaged.
Celia - MC still asks her out and she still makes fun of him. Then she hears he is having to do therapy due to her making fun of him and the harassment he has been getting from school mates. She feels guilty and slips a note into his locker telling him to get a webcam so they can chat at night. Most of the images are there just change her angry attitude looks to flirty/sexy attitude. Wedcam sex leads to bathroom kissing and sexy (glory hole). Security room HMMMMMMM they believe someone has seen or heard them in the bathroom. Celia distracts while MC goes in to see who it was that saw them and to delete the evidence of them being in there. The scene in Celia's training room can be her training him instead of threatening him (would come in handy later when MC faces off with Caroline's Ex boyfriend). I personally would get rid of the scenes where Celia is FEMDOM over MC (since in the end it seems he Dom's her). The electro shock stuff can stay in there since she enjoys that just don't drug her. Say it is a gift for her but he takes it with him when he leaves so she can only get that pleasure from him her new master.
The Sleep sex.........just needs to go. Going in the their rooms and waking them up to have sex no problem. But having sex with them while they don't even know it............is just wrong!!! enough said!
Sara.......Im not sure what all needs to be done with Sara. Heck even Sara's best friends seems to be 4 years older then Sara is in the game. I think it is more of her attitude then anything. I mean there are others in the game that have similar bodies to Sara. Bob's secretary and she is a hottie. There there is that Blonde neighbor girl ( can't remember her name right now) and that little girl is SMOKING HOT.
So basically tweak some images and change up the dialogue some and done. It shouldn't take 3 and half months (I believe this all started in July it is now Mid OCT!!!!).

I got curious and threw all the scripts with dialogue into one file and it comes out at 314 pages. If you remove the line breaks (because things like
Isla "Mmm…" doesn't take a lot of room) then the document shrinks to 140 pages.Of course the image declarations are all part of those files as well and adds a few pages, but with the dialogue from code files not being counted I think it all evens out.
I can see him getting to 900+ pages if all code is included, because boy does some stuff repeat. Hopefully it's just the decompiler, but I fear that it is not.

Thank you for verifying, I was actually going to ask someone in the community to find out so we can get a hard fact for any newbies here.
As suspected I was right, it just didn't sound right. Even if he said 100-200 pages it would have sounded more reasonable but even then you'd scratch your head thinking "is the game is larger than 200 pages?" Since we are only talking about the things they've changed here. Reasonable doubt.
900+ pages...this is a new level of crackhead energy. NINE HUNDRED guys...honestly...
ICSTOR is that one friend in your group that claimed he's slept with 500 girls in one afternoon...we all know he's lying but we just smile and nod our heads.

I got curious once again and just threw everything into one file, just to get a feel for how much there is and it came out as 2520 pages, impressive.
But again, a single line that says
Although I do have to add that I don't know how much the decompiler does to the text, because I'm seeing an incredible amount of repetitiveness when I just scan through it.
But again, a single line that says
vbox: really inflates the page count. So by removing all the line breaks everything gets boiled down to 998 pages of dense text.Although I do have to add that I don't know how much the decompiler does to the text, because I'm seeing an incredible amount of repetitiveness when I just scan through it.

Fun fact. The image buttons for this game takes up as many lines of code as the dialogue scripts.

Could you post screenshots of your findings or something? I am curious to know. I'd happily take back what I said if it can be proven and he's not exaggerating that statement by referring to this inflated code.

I'm not sure what you want screenshots of, because the end result is simply a .txt file with all of the scripts in them.
My method was simply using the Unren tool to decompile the game and then search for every .rpy file in the games folder. The sorting was done by manually marking which files were text and which were code based on if there was any dialogue in them.
I will admit that the so called "code scripts" did contain some dialogue, mostly in the form of telling the player why they can't perform a certain action. However, the dialogue to code ratio was quite low and like I also said, I allowed all the image definitions to be counted as dialogue text, which really inflated the dense text page count.
For creating the files with the dense text I simply made a search an replace so that any combinations of spacing and line breaks got reduced to simply a spacing. This was done because a line of code could contain just a single word and still be viewed as a line, which made it difficult to judge the amount of text.
This was the point I was making with the image button fact, because although they have similar line counts as all the text scripts they only contain a few words each and therefor create far fewer dense pages.
There's no doubt that the 900+ page count being told is inflated because code has very little text per page, unlike dialogue, but I do believe that they have actually reviewed that amount of pages.
As much as I keep saying the disclaimer about the decompiler, I really don't think it has done anything to make the code look worse. The code just doesn't seem to have any sort of custom function, classes or anything to help out the programmer, so it's clearly done by an artist.
This also means that the games logic gets very complex to understand as the game grows. The games state is being handled by a bunch of
if then else statements and all the variables are written in shorthand. Given the lack of work that has gone into the game over the last few years I have little doubt that Icstor had to relearn how his game worked before being able to rip out the peaces he was ordered to.So, to be the devils advocate, they indeed have to put in a lot of effort if they wish to comply with Patreon's demands. However, a lot of that effort is likely going to be focused on relearning things from several years ago.

So you are saying that all this time we were under the impression this was some sort of a incest porn game thing but in all reality.. its more of a Push-Fancy-Buttons Simulator and the gallery/secret-gallery chews up most of the coding time???
I feel cheated

To sum it all up, a good statistician can make the numbers tell whatever story he wants.
Icstor can make his game sound impressive by referring to many pages of code they had to edit, whilst I can make it sound silly by doing the same trick with his image buttons.

Can someone here share what's the update he shared in his exclusive discord channel about his issue with patreon?
