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

[MurkyTurtle]

I mean, other devs, DPC for one, seems like he hasn't really slowed down in dev for BaD. NLT is a fucking machine. I think TGO is already 1/3 done almost. It's insane. ICSTOR has never actually finished a game right? Now he's working on Milfy Mafia and that will eventually get sent to purgatory too.

There's been a lot of shit about tis guy for a long time, and whether he's brought it on himself or not, I think he's made more enemies than friends over the last couple of years, minus those who blindly drink his blend of Jim Jones Kool-Aid. For a long time I defended the guy tooth and nail here, until last July's update came out, then I was like "nope, never again."

We've seen, for years now, the Preview Pics from the main post in this thread that he's had shit done for a long time; Judy, Celia, Caroline, all of them, so the work was partly done.

If he has legit mental problems I can sympathize, since I do too and have been in and out of psych wards for years now. But the only thing his failed promises of delivery and promising not to go radio dark again, and then doing so, has only made a list of enemies and critics for him 100 miles long. Pretty damn sad overall.

His pattern of leaving games unfinished is exactly why I think he suffers from the issues I mentioned and why he's mentioned several times that any future games he develops will have a set episodic length from the outset. He seems to get tired of the characters and setting of a given game after 4 or 5 updates and wants to move onto something new, like he suffers from artistic boredom. I think Milfy City finally trapped him because it was such a smash hit. It's easy to drop something when it's just a little side hustle making you a few hundred a month; it's much harder when it's making top neurosurgeon-level money and it's your entire livelihood.

He was forced to stick with Milfy City past its expiration date, and now he hates the game so much that even finishing an update with the material that's already done is too much for him. He wants to move onto a new project but also doesn't want to lose his existing subscriber base who'd be pissed he left the big one unfinished, so he spins complicated excuses in an attempt to have his cake and eat it. It's insane, but I think he'd actually prefer having a smaller Patreon base with lower expectations since it means he can go back to dropping projects at a whim without pissing so many people off. The dropping subscriber numbers and monthly income don't bug him because it relieves the pressure.

What he doesn't realize is that the enemies and critics you mentioned don't go away. He's gonna have a mountain of salt waiting for him if/when he comes back with Milfy Whatever.

jerk off to calm down and regroup

Why are you bringing up Judy. That dagger doesn't need further twisting


I find the phrase "You guys havent realize that yet?" particularly funny. Talking about realising things

It's probably a bad idea for ICSTOR to ask his followers to think too deeply...

 

[Bobbylikesthegames]

Can someone explain to me the appeal of this game? I feel like all I do is click around like a madman trying to figure out what to do next. Also, so far the sex scenes are just meh. So, what am I missing?

Just to set the record straight on this. The guy has finished more games than pretty much any dev out there. But they were in RPGM and it wasn't until he switched to Ren'py with milfy city that he made it big.

Supposedly finished games, all prior to milfy city (I played some but not all):

Milf’s Villa
INCEST Story 2
Milf’s Control
INCEST Story 1
Robot’s Touch
Taboo Request

So, what am I missing?

Basically only that you are just four years too late to the party. AVN's have developed so much from the peak days of this game that in todays markets Milfy City isn't really anything special for the new players, when back in the day three-four years ago Milfy City was THE game that was the leading example for the whole business. So it just tells how much things have changed in such both short but also long period of time.

Aww gotcha. Well then what is the better version of this one?

All those games suffered the same fate as Milfy City except they all had rushed ending instead of being dropped.

Dunno if you are trying to defend his behavior or what but also is true that all those games were rushed so not all of that is in his favor either.

and just a pointer, he made it big already with Milf¡s villa, most of the people including me at that time (I was a supporter back then) did not want him to rush that game because it did have a lot of potential, yet he rushed it to make Milfy city.

All those games suffered the same fate as Milfy City except they all had rushed ending instead of being dropped.

Exactly, if something for me rushing a game is as worse as abandoning it, doing something half-assed is always bad, it doesn't matter if it means at least it will be finished when you may not get a satisfactory result.

Intersting fact - looks like Icstor from Poland. When I scrolled images in game folders for Incest Story 1, I found few images with polish words.

I can be wrong, but I heard Icstor was from Turkey and immigrated to Canada in early 2010.

Yeah, maybe, but it's strange that he use polish words if he not from Poland

Any saves?

Can't believe he still has 3500 patreons. No need to work anymore as long as money keeps flowing in. Lucky guy.

Well, that quote from Mafee (Billions tv show) pretty much hits the nail on the head:
"I know the theory. It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money. And the market is the sucker."

That just gives you an idea of how many people either don't know or don't care where their money is going.
There's no shortage of people who have had a monthly subscription to something that they've forgotten about or they are just too damn lazy to make a phone call or to go online to stop them from being charged.

I'd love to know how many of those 3,500 Patreon's are on the $1 or $5 tiers.
I mean, how many people would miss $1/$5 being taken out of their account every month?

Thanks a ton dude will delete that post now because its not on topic

 

[Badjourasmix]

Wasn't ICSTOR supposed to come out with a new game this summer? It's amazing how someone can abandon a game, not really give any news about his supposed new project and still retain over 3000 patrons. Not gonna lie, I am kind of jealous of him.
