 Hi everyone, it’s about damn time I gave you all an update. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been having a few problems in my personal life which have taken a toll on my health. It’s now been more than FOUR full years that I’ve been developing adult games without taking a vacation. (Not even once!)

I’m completely broken and exhausted, so I need a break to recover. I’ll be taking a month or two away from developing to get my health back on track. I really am sorry to each and every one of you who believed in me - I pushed myself too hard.

I don’t want to put out shitty updates with no actual passion behind them. In fact, the reason I started making games was for the love of it, they might not have been perfect, but I always gave those games the best of my ability at the time.

It’s not right for me to get paid when I’m not working, so at the beginning of next month the following will happen:

I WILL PAUSE MY PATREON PAGE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT MONTH FOR ONE OR TWO MONTHS. NO ONE WILL BE CHARGED WITHIN THAT TIME UNTIL I COME BACK AND UNPAUSE MY PAGE. I SHOULD RETURN IN MAY OR JUNE.

Of course, I want to be fair and do my best for my loyal fans. Everyone who pledged this month is going to get the next update with Caroline and Celia for free!

I know that many of you really like the characters I have created. I promise that I’ll finish every single one’s story, but to do that we need to change a little how the game is made. 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.

The second change that we’re probably going to implement is changing relationship points to percentage points. (0-100%) This will allow me to work on more characters, as well as adding content to other characters without needing to make massive updates for them. This will hopefully make a lot of people happy - your favourite character that was always skipped now has a much greater chance to receive content.

What about the polls now?

- Polls will focus on different aspects of the game. What kind of poses would you like? Animation angles? Small story aspects? Styles of pubic hair on the girls?

If you have any more ideas for good polls please let me know. I’m open to giving Patrons like you more control of aesthetical side of the game. :)

The final question that I noticed cropping up a lot of times was: 

What about Caroline after she reaches 5/5. Is it over!? No more Caroline!? The short answer is absolutely not! Reaching 5/5 will NOT end the story for a main character. It will open two different paths to choose, but I prefer keeping these as a surprise for the players. I’m sure you will all be more than happy with what I have planned.

Current progress:

The current progress of the next version is 60% because I predominantly worked on Caroline. There’s are about 600 renders with her. Some of them were really hard to make, but also very very sexy. I’m not pausing my Patreon page now because I’m still trying to finish her content this month. The longest scenes are done, but I can’t promise that I’ll manage to do that, and if I’m not sure I even want to release an update with just her alone. Here’s all the current previews I published. Please be sure to follow me on Discord because I’m there very often online.  https://discord.gg/CPcw5HN 

Conclusion:

-I will be taking a break for 1-2 months due to health issues.

-I will pause my Patreon account during this time so you will NOT be charged.

-Caroline has 600+ renders already done.

-Everyone who pledged for this month will be getting the next Caroline and Celia update for free.

Thank you again for your continued support over the past four years. I really appreciate it.

I’ll be back in good health and working at full speed come May/June.

I’ll see you all then, but if you want to chat feel free to hop onto my Discord server. https://discord.gg/CPcw5HN 

All the best,

ICSTOR

The only question I have is will we still be able to download the game while your patreon is on pause. Besides that hope you get better.

Seth

Everyone needs a break, friend. Take a vacation. Rest up. Can't wait to see you back in action. And thank you for all the amazing content!

UltimateKappa

DanRom

Take care, man. We appreciate all your work, but don’t try so hard. I wish you the best.

Eshuis

Thx for the update. Health is the most important thing u have so please take the time u need m8. At least we now know how u are doing. Keep strong and all the best.

Thanks for the update on this issue! I hope you’ll take the time you need to get back on track with your life and become as happy as you’ve been before. I personally wouldn’t mind to pledge for the next months because you deserve it for the work you’ve done. The awesome work you’ve done, actually! :) Just make sure to rest as much you need. Have a great time and fun! See you in the future! Best regards, Me, myself and I. :)

CLAUS LARSEN

Take you time. Caroline is probably me favourite character in any of the adult games out there and I've played quite a few. Hope you get well soon

Jemz

Thank you for your effort and I hope you get well soon

Al

Take care of yourself – work will always be there when you get back, as will we. I've enjoyed the hell out of this game, and am really looking forward to what you have in store for us down the road, whenever that may come. Have a good break. See you on the flip side!

Niékal

Enjoy your well deserved vacation ^^

Hades

Everyone deserve a vacation. We will wait.

Affect Fatal

Well overdue. Enjoy your time off!

roguewind

we'll be here when you get back

TheGreatCornholio

Sad that you got to this place. Take a breather and come back healthy. I really like the going to percentages with the relationship and I agree with dropping the polls about which girls will be featured in updates. It really made the game lopsided, for example it's been an year and we haven't had a real update for Celia yet. As for releasing the Caroline stuff this months I say please try to do it. Otherwise it would be 5-6 months without any new stuff from you and that makes me sad :)).

NeptuneSeaDragon

Get better man, thanks for the update. But health is more important

JOHN PAUL SOWERS

we are all sorry about your health that is #1 we all love your work so we all will be here when you get back i know i will so get beater and we will see you when yo get back

Trav

Very sorry to hear the news of your troubles, but glad you are doing the right thing taking a break. Here's hoping you get the rest and relaxation you need. Take care, and w'll be here waiting for your return!

LunalMan

Take 5 months break if you need that

Rakno878

Have fun man recharge and chill dawg!

Charly

Thank you for the update, I know for fact that working in video games can be really hard, but I think, maybe, it could have been sooner. I don't think 0.6 for free is necessary but it's your call. I hope for you that you will get well soon. I'm guessing that I'm not the first to tell you that, but learn from this mistakes, restart to work progressively and take vacation more often. It will better for you, therefore for your patrons.

retmsgt

Fantastic so far, you take the time and recharge. You'll drive yourself nuts worrying out polls and what others' opinions are. You are the captain of this ship, and you're charting its course.

Lusa2

You have all my support, get some fresh air and get back to us whenever you're ready <3

Kurt Davis

Thanks for the update. Get yourself back to 100%, that's the most important thing. I say that this will build up even more anticipation for when 0.6 does come out. It will be that much more exciting to play.

MFisher

Take all the time you need! Going through this kind of stuff and tearing yourself apart doing it isn't a way to live your life.. Take whatever time you need and come back once you feel you're up and ready again! Despite the fear of sounding like an Instagram model sending her "thoughts and prayers" to people in need.. I will be sending my...... Ugh... Thoughts and prayers... To you anyway! :P Hope you get well soon!

Wolfgar Lyles

Please do take care of yourself! No game is worth wrecking its creator. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

retmsgt

You're the captain of this ship and only you can take it where it has to go. Depending on polls and others' opinions can only lead to confusion and self-doubt. If you need to take a much-needed break, then that is what you have to do - we Milfy City addicts will suffer silently, anxiously awaiting your return. If we break, the game goes on. If you break, however, everything comes to a grinding halt. Get better, then give us our game back, in that sequence.

Mr.Hong

After all, does v0.6 come out in May or June?

UnbarredCaesar

No point running yourself into the ground, you’re not a machine! Rest up, refresh and come back better than ever

Ner'rull

Hey take so much time for you need the most important thing is that you do not lose your passion for creating spiles. I imagine that maybe only one but I find you notice when one with fun and passion around eienr it just out of frustration. Surveys now are always a 2 dashing sword. I'm not a fan of it because I ask after all after all very einscheitig. The amount of weight is also just another matter of the strongest is right and the weak has bad luck. I would advise if you ask to take them in first line as a creative and not strictly according to the majority. Not so easy. Make the most of your time. Rest well. Invite your Bateria and Creative Passion to life with Brennen's Heart Go can stay healthy and cheerful

Sebastian

take care brotatochip

Pavol Hrnko

Get well man ... health is more o portant than the vyrtual life ... hold tight and be safe and see ya when you will be good rested.

Torsten Meyer

Get well my dude. Best wishes on your health. :)

Mark Brugman

Get well mate, get ur self on track before anything else

Cthul

This winter took its toll :( get well soon

DR Venksa

OK man i,ll hold in my browser - good health for you man -props on your story line.

Arcos

Take care of yourself mate. The game can wait - working too hard has affected many people I care about including my father, so I understand just how badly it can creep up on you. I pledged because I have faith in your work so I trust you'll be back when it's right for you. All the best.

marsch

DrSin and Icstor burning out simultaneously... Coincidence? I don't think so! Has anyone seen them in the same room?

Vincent Claut

Your game is fantastic, but your health comes first. I hope you will take the time to rest correctly, and remember that the mind also rests, not just the body. Your new info I like a lot, I always wanted to see Judy evolve. Ah, and also: Eat fuits!

Ken Leslie

Thanks for being honest about your struggles. Your health is important, so take the time to rest and recover.

Probie67

Thanks for keeping us updated about MC. It's like a coincidence: I just start pledging and the first news I find is that you withdraw for at least a month. I hope you recover quickly from your health issues and be back "with full energy", as you pointed. We all are eager for the next update! :)

GrandT

Take a well deserved break, and get back to us.

ixmootix

Why dont you go fuck yourself

Seconcolo

We love your work, so take your time recovering. We'll be right here when you get back. And I wouldn't mind personally to support you while you're on your break. So get well soon.

Dead138

thanks for the update icstor hope you get well soon. If possible I've seen a lot of confusion on the discord section. Can you clarify if there the idea is to release caroline content this month before your break? or will you take a break and then continue with Caroline/Celia update.

Probie67

I think that he would mean that he will take a break and then continue with the update :S

Daniel Crooks

thanks for being honest. we appreciate your hard work and talent. get well my friend

Fred Smith

Appreciate the honesty and the update, do what you need hope to see you back here when you ready.

ArcticMonkey

Thanks for getting back to us! Before you leave for break, can you release the Caroline content to hold us over please? We've patiently waited the last 3 months for this one/and we probably won't see anything for another 3 months..It'd mean a lot for us fans who've invested time/money toward your work.

TXgamer

Take care of your health buddy. We'll be here when you get back!

Haideraide

So is the update coming after your r&r or before?

marsch

Why don't you buy yourself some sense of humor?

Meckes75

Take your time! Health is the most important! Get better soon!

Wen Su

Take care!

TheP

we love you

Bradley Williams

I can wait in my grave for Caro. But do take care @ICSTOR. I don't wish to pause my patronage but I guess I have no say in this. POLLLL :P

Dead138

Saves carry on to the next update and you have to download the new version when is available.

Lanancuras

can someone let me know where to go to download the newest version when its available? kinda new to patreon. thank you

Milf-lover

Just look to the left [featured tags] Download

Lanancuras

Oh okay cool thanks Elmer

Karaburan

I am fully agree with your decision because I am also a programmer in an online game developer. Have a long and sound vacation!!

Zane

Good luck with your recovery.

el36ton

Wish u ok man, it's my first time using patreon and u the first one that I followed. Great content!

Juliano Fagundes Barcellos Fabar

Its everything ok, man. Everyone needs a break. Just a question. I paid few minutes ago for april. You already pause your account? Just for sure.

Zhe Jiang

I was charged as well... it took me quite a while to figure out where that $10 come from

crowstarr

Wait, I got charged an hour ago

ToniK

I aslo got charged

KK62

Also got charged

Phantasystar14

so are we beening charged for this month?

Milf-lover

Fuck this for a game of soldiers.... I'm off. No info at all as to what's going on, apart from Icstor's recent post, which was vague. Getting charged for April and then seeing that it's all now on hold! Severely disappointed in how we've been led up the road. No details as to what's going on, and yet he/she quite happily posts images on Discord. Icstor's first obligation should be to his Patreon supporters and not people elsewhere. As far as I'm concerned I'm now cancelling my payments to Icstor. This is, in essence, taking the piss! He assured people that he was working on the latest update of the game and then has the temerity to put the game on hold after people have paid for April and still have nothing to show for it, thus ensuring that he gets a minimum of 5k for the next month without even telling us what the latest situation is! Bye bye people, I'm now out of here. Payments to Icstor have now been cancelled. I'll get ripoff versions of the game instead, when they come out! To say I'm severely disappointed is an understatement, to say the least!!

Viktor

Way to straight up lie to us and say that we wouldn't be charged for this month 🖕

T-N

I was also charged, update or refund

LeBurito

good luck <3

The Kilopio

I was also charged..... noto a real problem but I think we need more info...

Josiah

Keep the money and take a vacation. The game is amazing and I look forward to the future of it.

Advanced001

Slight issue with Patreon. He couldn't pause until after the charge. He said he'd keep the pause one month after his vacation ends to make up for it.

Esteban Rosario

when will the update for Caroline and Celia be released

Elektrospieler

charged here as well. Imho a bad move after the last post saying nothing will be charged for april / may. If the creator reads this - I think an update on the topic is in order...

Doc Eros

Few posts above, though not sure who on IC's team can make patreon posts. Due to RL issues he wasn't able to pause in time, however it is now, and he won't unpause for the first month he is back. Not much for those that left already, but if you're sticking around, the promise is kinda being kept. I think at the moment his discord channel is the best place to keep updated, as other members of the team are able to post there.

Michael Olmeda

If you join the discord. He did reply saying that he couldn’t pause it. I till April. So he will be working for “free” in the month of May.

Pavel

Я думаю ты отдохнёшь и поправишься и всё будет нормально! Придёшь с новыми силами и следующие обновления будут еще лучше! Мы верим в тебя!)))

Pavel

И ещё 1 вопрос... Будет ли русский язык в игре??? Я просто английский плохо знаю(((

Prometheus

I don’t care about the pause/unpause issue whatsoever. I just hope that the dev knows that most of his patrons love his work, and that he has a refreshing break so that he can again enjoy creating the game we all enjoy playing. Everyone deserves the time to take a break occasionally and just slow down and enjoy life. I wish him well and look forward to his return when he feels that he is ready.

Naturebee

I love when creators are honest and upfront when needing a break, instead of just ghosting. So refreshing. You have my support forever!

Artas

Have a rest.

Daniel Balieiro

Take your time, we all be here waiting for your return =D I have a question: what do you think about a chinese girl? Maybe you can put one in this amazing game! Thanks!

albee kangas

dose any one have it download on MacBook air ?

Josiah

Hope he is still alive.

Nick Heinimann

any one know if he is resuming work this month ?

Uri Tian

I'm in a similar profession so I understand and I hope he really takes his time. Don't rush him, hopefully he really relaxes until June or more because he really deserves the rest. He's released more than enough for a full studio alone.

Something...

Hope all is getting better on your end. Love your game and hope to see more soon. Your animations and renders are the best of all these style games I’ve played before. Can’t wait to see how it plays one with Linda!

DiesIstNurEinAccount

Cant wait for more Sara-storylines, but first, get your health and mind back on track, way more important!

Something...

I don’t have it on a Mac book but play on a Mac mini and it works just fine. Just get the Mac version.

Jake stephane

hope you come back stronger then ever awesome games played them loved them so i hope you keep it up and feel better

Nick Heinimann
