 Hi everyone,

I think this needs to be said because lately there have been a lot of negative comments towards myself. It has made me stop reading comments and messages I receive. 

As I already told everyone in my most recent post all of my Patrons from the past few months will receive the game even if they stop support me! Every one of you can stop supporting me and still receiving the game in the next month! 

The testing is taking this long because there are a few missing scenes, a lot of bugs with the game, and also with transferring everything into the new version of Ren'Py. I also had a lot of problems with my rendering software because it was crashing a lot while working on the neighbor's content, that's why they're receiving less content than the others. 

This is shaping up to be the single biggest release I have ever done. Here are some numbers:

Caroline's Story - 1029 pics and 30,000+ words.

Celia's Story - 908 pics and 25,000+ words.

Neighbour's story - 300pics and 8,000+ words.

If it comes to release date I can't give any but you can expect the beta version somewhere around ~10th October. (Probably sooner.)

We are working around the clock to release a polished product with as much content as we can cram into it.

Just bear with us a little while longer. It will be worth it.

Take your time. Don’t let the naysayers get you down.

The Master

Well this puts my game to shame I’ve been working on it for a month and only got 5,000+ words

Andrew Litzner

You do wonderful work. Thank you for communicating with us.

Veronis

You probably won't read this, still: fuck that noise and do your thing. We believe in you!

Jaison Ragnaught

Hey man don't mind the haters, keep up your work and remember to enjoy what your making, if you stress over it it will show in the finished product. Just put your all in and don't mind others.

reaper47

Dont listen to what the other people are saying, some people dont have patience. Just take your time man.👍

paul

Thanks for the update pal. Look forward to more content soon. Keep well buddy and don't let the negative arseholes get you down

Craig Watson

Honestly ignore the haters as best you can. A lot of us are really happy with what you’re doing and your progress. The reason you won’t hear from us is because we are quite happy to wait for the final product, especially if it means a more polished release 👍👍

Draker

Dude don't listen to these idiots! Just do your thing and keep up the great work!

AlejoLst

Wow, thanks for saying something at least.

Bediuszek

We believe in you 👊😊

Al

Hey man take your time, just try to communicate more often with your community over here on patreon because not everyone goes on discord for one reason or another. I think that's what made most of the negative comments. It's fine if it takes longer than usual for you to complete the new version, just tell us either by making a post like this or going on the comments of your latest post and update us there, most of us will understand. But anyways awesome can't wait for your new version and good luck!

Probie67

I admit that I was a little disappointed to see that the update promised in August would not come until October. But that's life. For the little that remains, finish the work and do it well. My apologies for the negative comments.

Urvutihlavus virtual workbench

Its not the wait, its the lack of communication. You could try to post like a weekly summary. Just some words that people knew, you are still at work ;) I am the patient one, but some other might not share the same sentiment.

Christopher Browne

like miyamoto said “A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is bad forever.” so dont worry you continue to make this as good as possible and keep up the good work.

David Garcia Alvarez

Take your time and just ignore shit comments, we love that game!

Yka

Wow it has been almost 1 year since last release. And you really are complaining about the "negative" comments. You shouldn't have make update that big.

Grey Metal Fox Games

Forget those self-entitled immature morons! They'll be back, this game is one of the best NSFW games out there. It really pisses me off that they voluntarily support a developer, knowing at times there will be vacations, sick days, hardware issues, and just plain real-life; yet still go in uber bitch mode even when the developer suspends payment to make good. Like real good customer service! Keep doing you, we love your game, we love the dedication and quality you insist on.

William Evans

Thank you for the update! You’re the best!!

Anon1234

Keep up the great work and take the time you need to perfect it

Ladmaro

Perfection > Imperfection

WonTonFuckery

You can never please everyone. If you rush a release, you’ll get flak because of the dip in quality. If you take your time to make something of quality, you’ll get flak for milking your supporters. I personally would rather support a project that gave me releases of substance and wait a bit, versus rapid updates that add a single scene. Keep doing you!

Yka

Am i immature if i think that 1 year long wait is worth of criticism :D

Thor of the South

Quality is key. Keep up the hard work and provide top tier content, and all the rest falls into place. Love your work

Rodney D Love

I can wait a little longer I love playing the game

Maafu

Yep I agree, the more there is the better the wait if you get what I mean. Cause games have updates that just leaves me in suspense

OasisIB

We're not going anywhere man... Everyone her love the game (it's the best, most polished one) Question: what do u think about a collab with LewdLab or Astros3D

Geo

I am of the same opinion that you should focus on your vision and do the best you can. You have been upfront about the delay and your willingness to update those who wish to withdraw.

Dubsington

Here's the thing: Late games happen a lot. A year later nobody remembers if a given release was a few weeks or months late, but everyone remembers if a game is getting better or getting worse. Stay the course, ignore the bullshit

marsch

The devil is in the details! Keep on with the good work man.

Vash

Doing a great job they don't like they can create their own and see how difficult it is

The Kilopio

Don't worry! I'm sure you are making a great work as usual! You are the best

DEPENT

Rock on boss. I know this post is due to impatience but I got time. Ive been digging into the older games lol.

lukes54n

Stay strong. We believe in you. Your games are the best.

David J. Thompson

i can wait. Should be interesting when the new content comes out. I realize work like this, especially when graphics dependent can't be done quickly if to be done well. Hang in there!

Kwadwo

I’m sorry that you’re receiving negative comments (something I might have done myself, and might do now), but what you fail to realize is that you brought them on yourself. If you would have simply said what you said in this post right away, people could have been a lot more understanding. Instead, the game was taking increasingly long to get released, without any explanation as to why. Every deadline that was mentioned was also missed entirely. For example, how was August ever on the cards, when it can’t even be released in September? It is perfectly reasonable for concerns to be raised based on these circumstances, which means it is unfair for you to play the victim and us as the criminal, like people have been berating you for no reason whatsoever. Also, to everyone making arguments about quality over quantity or how delays are acceptable because it means solid quality, someone wrote it very well; you manage deadline by managing scope, not by cutting quality. Something could have simply been excluded from the update, so the release time gets shortened. Anyways, those are my two cents. I do appreciate you taking the time to make this post. The added transparency makes it much easier to wait. That, however, doesn’t mean I think negative comments were unjustified or that we have no right to have any expectations

Júnior Costa

You're the best, we loves your work!!!

Daniel Crooks

your doing a good job bro. you got fans rooting for you. if people cant understand that you are working hard on this then they are to fucking stupid to understand how this process works. just keep on doing you

MaJeVerT

It's ok. I prefere a good finish version than a fast one full of bug ! ;)

BunnyRabbit

It will be worth the wait no matter when it is released. Quality takes time. Version changes take time too. Take your time a do it right. I also stopped reading the whiners.

Jake

Thanks man, thats all i needed to hear. Sorry for the bad comments from people, we just like to know how everyrhing is coming along and it had been awhile since we heard from ya

WANDERSON DE CASTRO FRANCISCO

I don't mind waiting. What piss me off is the lack of communication (a weekly update wouldn't hurt). Working hard everyone does at work and everyone gets pressure to deliver a good job. Just deal with the pressure and learn with it.

Heartic

I figured it was just a bump in the road. Which is why I haven't gotten involved in the drama. People tend to be eager waiting for something great. But in all fairness, an update like this isn't much to ask for. Many patreon creators like you do weekly updates. Easy way to avoid those nasty comments.

Probie67

I did Milf Control and Milfs Villa... but it's not the same, man...

Grey Metal Fox Games

Are you? The man clearly explained everything he has been going through. If you ran out of patience you could've stop funding anytime. Attacking him with negative comments (and I'm not accusing you of this) isn't helping. You all have options, be patient or bounce. But behave like a mature adult about it.

Redbeard02

I'm not going to say anything that hasn't been said already - all the work released so far has been nothing short of excellent, and I personally see no reason to expect otherwise going forward. More frequent updates on progress would be preferable. It doesn't even need a lot of detail, just something along the lines of "still working, haven't forgotten you all, kisses in a no-homo kind of way," every 1-2 weeks would be nice. Regardless, it seems like maybe you guys bit off more than you can chew with this update. 1000+ images plus 30,000 words is a lot of work to add for a single character update, let alone doing that for several characters. Good to hear that you're kinda-almost finished with it, but going forward you may want to dial it back a bit.

iglesias79fr

Thanks for the update and keep with this good work. Don't listen to this trolls and do as you think is best !

Gary

Thank you for your efforts!

Reid Wyatt

Keep up the good work. We will be here for you.

Byron

Cant wait for the neighbor stuff

werxa

Keep up the good work. Love the things you done so far.

Lanancuras

sorry about the hate, there should be no need for it. but keep up the good work. i'd rather wait and get an awesome game than have you rush through it just to appease them babies.

Ryan Gervin

True supporters are here for anything you need. Don't give up on us just yet!

Blakstur27

Keep the amazing work coming.

James

I will support you as much as I am able too. I cannot support you at level 4 as it's sold out.. But work like this is rare and worth supporting. As for all the people giving you grieve and bad words, I think this should be taken on the good note. They want the next chuck that badly. But Please take all the time you need to get it right. Too many games are released too soon.

Moonstorme Productions

I cannot complain about any of your work... I even increased my patron support this past month just because I know it's going to be an amazing thing to wait for! I don't want bugs, so you take all the time you need to get it in order for all of us fans out here. Great work man, love the game and current sneak peeks on discord. Thanks.

ZarX

Bro.... all good. Don’t listen to the hate 👌❤️❤️

Francisco Robles

Bro, you have my support. Keep working, I trust you

random_guy_96

ye, I kinda understand both sides, but from me... I'll just keep on supporting it

Vineman

Forget them. People gotta start driving 45mph on the 40 rather than 60 on the 40. Obviously the game has been fluid (for me at least) thus far thanks to the time and effort you put in. You're doing awesome work my dude. Keep it up.

Tomtom9222

I won't stop supporting because this game is so worth the wait. Hope all is well and you aint pushing yourself too hard!

Pierogi_warfare

I understand the criticism but It's time to stop worrying about the negative comments and prove them wrong with the new release. If I stopped and dwelled on all the negative comments I received thought my whole life, i'd go insane and become inert fat slob that doesn't do anything and lives off of welfare. That being said, I look forward to your best release yet.

robertash

I am another happy to wait. Prefer the best you can do rather than the fastest!!

Q

While I dont condone the comments that verbally attack you, I cant help but agree with the comments that are genuinely frustrated with the lack of communication; not reading those comments wont make the problem go away. For some they may take you not reading the comments as you ignoring their complaints of lack communication, which is an issue No one doubts the work you are putting into the updates, but getting some communication about how the process is going every couple of weeks would be nice. I get that it takes SOME time away from the development process, but id rather it take slightly longer and have better communication then none whatsoever.

Ainz

Cheer up! I know that, it's not easy to make high quality work.

Eddie Bogan

Thank you for the update bro! None of us understand how difficult to be a FREE game developer! Take your time, and you don't have to apologies to no one! We will always support you!

Figuratively not Literally

Thank you for the update. While there has been a lot of negative comments, and I understand how it can be hard to read those, but most of what I have read has been focused around the communication. Delays happen, and while some people would have complained regardless, if you would keep posting regular updates, even IF it is not what people want to hear, most people would be perfectly content. Ignoring the situation does not make it go away. It's like going to the dentist. Ignoring the tooth pain will not make it better. Sometimes you have to go to the dentist. No one LIKES doing it but the alternative is a a whole lot of hurt. TLDR version: Be honest and truthful with your supporters and they will continue to support (most anyway). Just my two cents.

Katie

The game is still going to take another year to 100%, at the least. Quality is the most important thing. Think of all the AAA titles that get released "on time" every year, that are trashed into the ground because they rushed things. In hindsight, everyone wished they delayed it longer. QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY first. - - Your game is a rare breed, don't pretend it's not something special.

Civil

Thank you for your art, your incredibly hard work, and for your courage in telling us. Remember, our MAD clicking refresh for several weeks to no avail doesn't exactly breed sympathy, patience, and patronage, but your honesty does!

Nick Gabrielson

yeah ppl just suck overall, and no idea the amount of effort you put into every lil detail. Just as long as you still enjoy everything you are doing, then that's what should matter the most. Guarantee the support is grater than the negative shit.

Reny the Fox

Take your time, I'm in no hurry like some folks appear to be. I'd rather it be quality when it comes out. Little sad that Sarah isn't getting anything this update, but I'm not going to foam at the mouth and start being an asshole over it.

Eibon

It isnt you, its the people. There isnt a single person alive who puts themselves in public view and not get negative commentary that's really more about the commenter than the artists.

Tom Delar

dont mean to be negativ too now, but if there were little Update posts there wouldn t be so many rumours and unhappy ppl. Dont need to be much jsut like "having Prolbmes its going to be delayed" or somethin.

Acting Casual

Don't worry about it. Life goes on, and you make the shit I like

Mario G

Lol October 10th is gonna come and go too and we’ll still be saying take your time 🤣

GadgetMan

I work software too, and I know what it's like to have to slip a deadline. And that is besides all the work you are doing with art and the storyline. Don't sweat it. Quality is #1 and your stuff has been great. I have no doubt it will be worth the wait. Thanks for keeping us posted.

kok

Just do your best. I would wait this good game forever.

Thomas

Fuck the haters. Love ur work, worth the wait.

Satanael

This is absolutely...acceptable! Games are tricky and software can be a pain in the ass at times. Your content is solid AF and people know it. Everyone whining is just antsy cause they're impatient plebs. I have no issue with the wait personally. 2 or 4 months per update or more doesn't bother me. There's tons of other games to play while waiting and if anything it's nice to have a gap in between because then I can replay the whole game when a new update drops. I do agree with people though about status updates. It's not just you but several other game creators seem to struggle coming up with something to say for some reason. Like we're looking for a light novel. 3-5 sentences is more than enough either here or on discord. "Hey gang we're working on this character roughly 20% done with images and 40% done with the script. Keep you posted!" Just do that biweekly and the plebs will settle down. Throw in a random render if you got the time and boom everybody's chill. Regardless if you do this or not though I'm sticking around until this game is done and I'll likely stick around to see the next if you continue. Keep up the great work though and good luck squashing all the bugs! Looking forward to your next post

Long Beetle

You're doing great, don't rush yourself.

jtpate1

I 100% agree and I will most definitely be sticking around for the long haul as well. Just ignore the hatters because this is a amazing game and it takes time to make such good content. Take your time and keep up the good work.

Meckes75

Take your time! I´m looking forward to the new content!

Ashbash

It's all good. You take your time in doing what needs to be done. I, myself, like others are looking forward to playing 0.6 very soon. Keep up the great work and don't worry too much about the negativity. It happens but yeah as others have said additional update posts would be fantastic!

HarryB

I can understand your frustration. Debugging and PC problems are the worse possible work... Maybe it helps you writing your frustration in a post from time to time ;-)

mullemalle

Just to clarify...Most of the solid/constructive critisims (no whiny whiny "WHERS THE UPDATE" comments) were about the communication-policy... Most people were annoyed not getting any info about what is going on. I also work in software development and its normal to have at least once weak an status update. It doesnt have to be a page long post, just an quick update on the development process. And that is not much work...And when its true, that you guys work around the clock, then just think about that spending 1 hour less per week (from the at least 60 hours you work in a week, because thas what i understand under "around the clock") testing/developing and istead put that 1 hour into a short weekly update post, could save you a lot of negativity from your subscribers.

CLAUS LARSEN

Christine will always be my favourite girl from any and all of these types of games.

Phoenix

Now that's a post I was waiting for. Keep up with your work, and give us this awesome game with an even better update!

Krun

Can u name some games to play in the mean time?

Krun

U mean Caroline?

richard MacDonald

worth the wait even though the neighbours part i was very interested in

Pravesh kalloo

Hello sir it is always good to hear from you ignore all negative comments we will wait kuz we know you will not disappoint us as usual Great game love it Keep going and we will always support you

Jimi

Hello, im new here, you doing a fine good job. thank you for all you done.

Zelan Drian

people are too impatient... if they want a rushed game, they should go support EA, that's what i'm thinking at least. better to give it proper time, than recieve an unfinished game they'll end up complaining about... again...

Spartan990

no rush, it's ready when it's ready

Amin ahmad

LESSGOOO🔥🔥🔥

WestDiddy

as you can see by the LIKES, positive feedback and good words of advice, you are very well liked and appreciated for your hard work my friend!!! Your game was one of the first game I played when I found these type of games online. It’s gotten me hooked and I’ve been sponsoring artists like yourself, if they know or don’t know, for me, you helped them get my support. I’ll be raising up my sponsorship once you are back fully and at it!!!

Josiah

Keep up the great work! Really look forward to the update! Thank you for all of your hard work!

Chris2077

Take all the time you need and don't get mad because of the haters. We, the lovers, appreciate the work you do and have done so far. You make a great job! Keep on rocking!!

Labmunky

i rarely post, because i feel you have more important things to do than to read my ramblings, that said here we go. As a fellow artist( im a jazz/blues/r&b sax player) i understand you need time away to refresh and re-energize and i stood by uour decision. Now that your back, the idiots who criticize your creative process have no idea what it entails. Ive been an oiff an on supporter financially(stareted a new job ) but always supported this project . Keep doing what your doing iCstor, your work on this project has been amazing, screw the haters , and do what you do. its not about them, but what inspires you.

Markus Markus

Same goes for me, and like I see you are still over 7000+ so I think it is just fine. But try to SDSMS on patrons so them take care you animations. The guys are just amazing. And you could take care everything else

Probie67

It's worth to say that not everybody who "criticizes" is necessary a "hater". Maybe among these "criticizers" there are many people who only got nervous because the lack of news on a regular basis. For example, a post per week would be a good ratio. On the rest, I agree with you.

Labmunky

maybe hater was too harsh, its a generic term around here, but i understand the implication tho. people get upset, thats understandable. Just be patient was my implication. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Pierce Mulero

Hey guys he is making this game for us and we should let him make it 100% through I don’t want him to be like EA and send out a game half baked

sigmaster

You Are The NO1, If others had half of your creativity they would made great games, but yours are AMAZING!!! Hang in there!!!

Satanael

Being A DIK, Midnight Paradise, The DeLuca Family, Reincarnotica, Where The Heart Is, The Visit, The Gift, Become a Rock Star, and City of Broken Dreamers. Not sure what you've played so far but there's a few

mike eliot

im sure the next release will be worth all the struggle on your end, and the wait time on ours

Razlin 1981

Do your thing, no one else can. Take care of yourself and the rest will work itself out.

PinkFluffyUnicorn1991

just inform us when the beta version is aviable and take your time

tomrock1

加油!!!你的作品是我玩过体验最好的!!!

Sitri

Want my opinion? (Probably not) but fuck the haters and take your time, while waiting for this update I played all previous works and loved them so take it slow and give us something you can be proud of.

Volvith

Still waiting patiently, still supporting. It may be hard, but ignore all unwarranted negativity towards yourself. Assholes exist, always will. Know what you're doing it all for, know yourself and prove to them that they're wrong. Quality takes time, anyone who refuses to understand that isn't worth yours. So, again, take all the time you need, we know it'll be worth it. ;)

Manuel

We are waiting on the content, sure we would like it as soon as possible, but we know you work hard and that creating good stuff takes time, don't listen to the haters, your true community is still here and waiting patiently. :D

Raymond Sutton

I don't care how long it takes, great game it is worth the wait for the effort

Xavier

I'm with Raymond on this, take as long as is necessary to put forward the best product you can. Just because this is taking longer than planned doesn't mean I'm gonna pull my support. You have a great game and as with anything in life anything worth doing is worth doing well. You take all the time you need, you have my support for the long hull. Keep up the excellent work.

Adam L Graves

Yes I agree with the good people. I am inpatient, but thats because I know the type of great game you produce! So I am as patient as possible waiting for the release. Handle your business and keep the great quality coming!

RICHARD SCHMIDT

You take your sweet time buddy I do appreciate the work you put into your game....some people need to learn quality over quantity

Fernando Marques Favini

Don't worry about the comments, we support you ... Patreon is about support ... always

tomrock1

噗哈哈哈

Roger Ruesch

you are doing a great job take your time

ArcticMonkey

its October boys. 10 days to go!

Shon

~10 days to go

alex batz

Sweet!! Like come on people, I know we all paid money and y'all feel like you're being stolen from, games takes a long ass time to finish and/or update. So chill, if you're in socal, smoke weed bro

StalwardSylveon

We all love your game. Keep up the great work and dont slack on your health either. The negativity and stress can really hurt your health if you dont watch it. We would rather the game be late and you be healthy than you work yourself into the ground.

Bryan Reppermund

never let anyone bring you down man. You work your ass off and have amazing skills that most people do not have. You also have compassion for this industry and the clients with it. Ignore all the negative comments and keep your head held high. Use the negative as a fuel to continuously build yourself up because they are all mad they cannot have the awesome image that your are creating.

Marco Rosi

I am not so familiar the 10$ tier will let me download the game v0.6 once is available?

lanxiu tan

Access to each game update previously tested by beta-testers.

Pax

Keep up the good work but stay healthy doing it! You are producing a very involved visual novel with amazing graphics and no one benefits from you getting burned out with a crazy pace that cannot be maintained. Please ignore the impatient people who go negative - just stay the course. Thanks!

Rhys Monaghan

When will we get the game can’t wait

HA2

You got this man!

Altair Arataka

yay i will support you ... do it man

Chris Griffith

i got time just make sure the game doesn't break

Chris Mink

Does the $1 supporters get access to the game? Cause I want to play past what I did for free online!

Matt

$10 gets you the game

Trock

No the tiers say you get beta access to the newest update with $25. Or you can get it 3 days later with a $10 tier.

Lew

...Terrible after all the problems and delayed time I think everyone should get the game as compensation.

DisappointingPizza

Hey don't think about the haters. Think about the supporters. Keep up the good work and i can't wait to play when the next update drops.

lanxiu tan

yea every patron will get it, unless <$1

Ginkyi

Soon?

Channing T

So hyped for this update to see where the story goes.

weccqsyr

it's almost 10th October make your bets gentlemen!

ArcticMonkey

i think it's going to push :-(

Ashbash

Good luck with the release over the coming days Icstor! Remember I was almost spot on with the new content story when I guessed. ;)

Eddie Bogan

If you need more time and delay for another month, we would totally understand :)

byungmanchai

yall retard saying its okay to wait for another month

Tp

This is dumb.. he might as well keep it for months and you all be writing comments in this page.Atleast make a release and do you polishing on the later sub releases.Since when in software development has a deliverable been complete bug free a optimized to perfection.

scott anderson

you do great work. The time in between updates and new versions is a down side. although I know it takes time to make a good product. biggest thing for me is, the poll vote is a great idea. but i dont know why you would add new characters when the story line with most of the original characters hasn't even been touched. it would be nice to see the rest of the story line with all main characters before seeing a game with a bunch of unfinished story line. For me anyways, only real reason I stay tuned is to see the creativity and what you had planned on the original story line. some how i feel that by 9.0, it will be 50 characters half done and still missing the stories that got people here. love all the characters. but it would be nice to see how things play out with Judy and Celia.

Jeff Knapp

Do what you need to do bro. It looks great and flows smooth.

CARL D

can't wait

Pax

Being patient...because the update will be worth it!

Vinicius Almeida

I understand that the work is difficult, but not for free (earn well by the way). It cost nothing to position or keep the news updated. Patreons of $25 don't know of either.

Q

If October 10th rolls around I think it would be best to just put out what you have. Even if its not polished you give people SOMETHING in the mean time while you polish and fix it.

Verix

I disagree, he simply just needs to let us know. ICSTOR's only problem is lack of communication. If he simply communicated with us more, we would be more forgiving of delays.

Joshua Clark

He must be using a different calendar to me 😂

ArcticMonkey

@Icstor - Oct 10th is right around the corner. Please keep your word/it's been 10 months/10 days since the last version release..."If it comes to release date I can't give any but you can expect the beta version somewhere around ~10th October. (Probably sooner.)"

CARL D

That's how the game died.........

Robbery1211

Nope, more than that now

Robbery1211

I honestly don’t feel like he should have given a release date in the first place. I have tried to do that as well and failed miserably. There is just too many things that can go wrong. Once it is released, that’s it. If there are bugs, here come the critics. Take your time, get it right.

Antik

probably sooner, probably earlier, probably earlier, okay, thanks a lot

Heartic

The beta should be released this weekend. Expect another 10 days for the official version. They have encountered a lot of game-breaking bugs :/

MrBusiness

I really think ICSTOR needs to release whatever version today or tomorrow and then release a polished version. Because if he delay another 10 days this shit is going to explode.

Some random dude on the internet

I have faith in ICSTOR as a creator, he always delivers good updates. The problem is and has always been a lack of communication. And it doesn't even need to be lenghty or detailed. A simple "Encountered some issues so the release unfortunatley has to be delayed a couple of days" a few days before the deadline arrives is all that's needed. Sure there is alot of assholes out there who feels they have the right to be rude just because things doesnt come out as planned. But im sure ALOT of them would be chill if they got some information on whats going on, then they wouldnt have to assume the worst. TL;DR, More communication equals less complaining.

James

Everyone needs to chill out.. we are meant to be ICSTOR patron's not grumpy customers. we are supposed to support not kick down. And the amount of people who are critical of him is rather upsetting. Let the guy do what he enjoys doing, So that in time when he's happy to share with us another gem of an update.

Hey guys! Great news! I just received a message from Icstor and maybe a lot of you got it as well. But for people who didn't, I will post his message here. "Hey guys Quick update - The beta version should be released this weekend. Unfortunately, the only thing that will be missing from this version is the animations, those will be added after the beta. This time the beta will last longer than the usual three days. We have encountered a lot of game-breaking bugs this time around and need to patch them out. I estimate this extended period of testing to last around ten days, but it will be released this month for certain. Those who want to play full update with animations will have to wait a little longer, the amount of new scenes has put a lot of additional work on me. The programmer is currently finishing adding 40 secret cards and a long-awaited surprise I know you'll love. If you don't care about the animations you can start playing within a few days. :) Thanks for your patience with this update. It's a massive one."

juan millan

If the surprise is a trio. Cueck.

BunnyRabbit

Does this mean you are about to experience explosive diarrhea?

Wolfgang Kleinschmit

What gives you the right to publish a message that was sent to certain people only?

HA2

man idk if i can wait until the full version of 0.6 comes out lol im so tempted to play the beta ver.

CARL D

Well...go ahead call the police then

Yuxian Wang

You don't have to wait, even if the game is not released on the weekend, the author is only delaying, he can rely on this game for a lifetime without work.

James

Now that a sensible idea.

Seriouslywtf

it was sent to $1 patreons and above which are the exact same people who are reading this anyway, no more, no less. It probably should have been put on here in the first place.... so perhaps chill a little

John Doe

That's exactly what it is.

Nicolai Drozd

Hey. Any update on when the new version might be released?

Conqwes 1

You honestly need to stop giving us release dates. I know it will be worth the wait though :)

Arcos

Made a $1 donation to read through all these updates I missed in the months I've not been donating. I really hope you patrons haven't been giving him anything above $1, as he's been riding you for cash for almost a year at this point. ICSTOR if you had any integrity you would have paused your donations a while ago considering how much you've earned. No matter how big this update is, it's absolutely despicable that you've happily been taking people's money while putting absolutely nothing out - and worse still, being deceptive with your lack of updates and constant - MASSIVE delays. I'm sad to say that I can't trust you as a developer any longer. When you put the hours in and the effort, you make a great game. You're simply not trustworthy.

Arcos

"Feel like" C'mon dude, he's been earnin' from everyone for 7 months, then 2 months where no charges happened. Anyone donating anything more than $1 has been absolutely conned, and are complete and utter fools for keeping their donations going.

AngelicSol

so much for oct 10th or sooner...

Eddie Bogan

I donate $10 per month and I will keep donating. I may even increase it to $15 or $25 since so much hard and amazing work was done by the developer. You don't create games. Who are you to judge him. Shame on you

JamisonFawkes

Ya know what? Nearly 7,500 People think otherwise.....Good things take time. Nothing good happen when you hurry ;) And everyone could just had deleted their pledge....and just pledge when a new update is there ;) And to you i have just to say, thanks that you support ICSTOR with your 1$ ^^

jtpate1

It makes me sad when i see people who have no idea what they are talking about. Just so you know MarkusT the majority of the year that you said he was taking money from us he was on vacation and he paused his Patreon. ATM i am paying $25 a month because this is a great game and he has put a lot of work into it. The delays is part of making a game because there is no way to know what kind of bugs will come up and he does not want to release a buggy game. I would love to see you try and find another game that looks as good as this one because i have yet to see one. oh and one last thing MarkusT plz don't talk about stuff you know nothing about.

Antik

very interesting how will he release version 0.7 in October?

Pax

ICSTOR, just ignore those who go negative or are too impatient to wait. This is an Amazing VN with a great set of stories interwoven into, and telling, MC's life. Really looking forward to the next rev but I can be patient because I Know it will be worth it!

Robbery1211

I’m not saying it is as good as this at all but have you played Rocking Robin?

Onyx Chidori

Bruh where is my pussy? xD Im dying over here :c

Yuxian Wang

Men are lower-body animals, it is really true . people are willing to wait even when they are played by the author as monkeys for the sake of that Penis. I also want to make adult games, so that I can spend two months to make games, the remaining ten months I can enjoy, as for the people who sponsor me, they are all fools, I can find any excuse to fool them, such as my computer problems, bugs in the game and so on, people will always wait.

Tp

That's condescending!

buzztork

take all the time you need

Jahn-Ingar Langfjell

I think Icstor should take his time, but at the same time I completly understand those who are sceptical. Icstor you should stop promising release dates when you are not certain you could keep them. The frustration from patreons comes when you promise and don't deliver, you are the only patreon channel I have where the amuont of Money you recive each month is not known. But easy math suggests that you receive from 50k to 100k usd a month, so when you promise things and don't keep the promise I understand that People get pissed of. And one other thing is the lack of communication, take 5-10 minutes to make a patreon post so we know what's going on

Xavier

All you guys running your mouth about how much time it's taking him for the update need to put up or shut up. Come on guys put your money where your mouth is, lets see you guys do it. Build a game with the same quality and content, or shut the hell up. I am normally very quiet but this is ridiculous. If you're that irritated by the time its taking then stop supporting the artist, and if all your doing is heckling him, get a life.

Xavier

You take all the time you need buddy, I wanna see your best.

Jahn-Ingar Langfjell

You can't deny that Icstor could take 5-10 min every other day to post something here and keep his loyal supporters updated. And I'm not disputing that he is a great artist I enjoy his game very much, but pushing release date time and time again says something, and that he don't have the courtesy to keep us updated says even more about him and I can't just lay down and take that. It's disrespectful, he has an obligation to the People that pays his paycheck. And to lie to us over and over again is not keeping up to that obligation.

Eddie Bogan

Nick my bro are you saying supporting ICSTOR is like gambling and we may loose everything? : )

Yuxian Wang

The only problem was that this guy broke the contract over and over again without even apologizing or explaining it. Maybe he didn't think we deserved an explanation at all.

Yuxian Wang

Stupid, this guy has 7,485 patrons. If everyone donates an average of $5, that means he gets at least $36,940 a month. Is it shameful that he has been holding the sponsor's money without updating the game for nearly half a year? If you are interested, you can compare the 0.6 release with the previous version to see if the added content of this update really takes so much time and if it is worth paying $10 a month.

Kerry Daniel

It's finally the weekend, they would supposedly launch the beta version, let's see that with that.

Lex

Guys, chill out, we will get the update near January, I guess

Robbery1211

I can tell you that I am a game developer and I absolutely believe that his health was deteriorating because of the time spent developing games. I have been developing a game for about a year now and there are days where I have extreme headaches and blurry vision from looking at the monitor for 16 hours a day 7 days a week. I can only imagine four years of it. He said he was having health problems. He said he was back. Good enough communication for me. The only problem is that he is giving a release date at all. Also, remember that he put out a Christmas special so it hasn't been a year with nothing.

Xavier

I do agree that the lack of communication is a problem and he should really stop putting out release dates until he is sure he can deliver on them, however, my biggest problem comes from those who haven't a clue what it takes to this type of work and think they do. His customer service leaves a lot to be desired, but I didn't become a patron of his for his customer service, it's because he is a damn great artist.

Sflott

So... Where is this beta version at?

mullemalle

And you can assume why he doesnt share his monthly patreon money...

Tp

Weekend's almost over and icstor would be like "unfortunately you guys will have to wait another 10 days cuz my PC is run into blue screen"

Sflott

*sigh* I will wait until the weekend is over to say I grow tired of all these broken promises... oh wait I already said it oops...

MrBusiness

If you promised something and you keep changing your promise two, three times, that says nothing good about you.

Josiah

Anyone have recommendations for other games?

Xavier

Thank You, someone who gets it.

Dlxb

I wonder what the problem is this time so we guess

Radostin

welp, next promise, next lie

Eddie Bogan

Let's be patient, it'll be available shortly

Yuxian Wang

fuck you, We've been waiting for six months.

lanxiu tan

throwing a tantrum wont make it release faster

Pax

Yuxian, Perhaps you were a patreon of Icstor sometime in the past, but your current ID says that you started as of 2019. All I've seen are negative comments from you, including attacks on others who counsel patience. If you can't be patient, why not go support someone else and stop these attacks. Surely you have something positive to add to another creator by donating to their efforts and supporting them with positive feedback. Why stay and just troll with negative or offensive comments??

Jeremy Frary

He is still here.. still waiting.. must mean there is something here worth waiting for. Plus we were clearly told we could unsub and still get access when it comes out because we were previously subbed. Can't beat that offer..

judgementdayworld

Man of the House, Lust Epidemic, and Timestamps unconditional love.

TOOTHLESS7151

they make blue light shades for users who spend extended amounts of time in front of monitors. i would recommend trying a pair. they have really helped me during my 24 hr game sessions on the weekends. but you are right. patience is a good quality to have.

kristoffer veum

thats all fine and dandy, but if that was the problem, he should swap from "per month" to "per release" payment

byungmanchai

around ~10th October. (Probably sooner.) that the one brah lol

Siera

Adventure of willy d

Kerry Daniel

Well, it's Sunday and nothing, it's not the first time you start saying dates and then the date comes and nothing

Kerry Daniel

The problem is that if you keep saying "you have to be patient" they will not move their butts, you have to press them to take out the game as quickly as possible because for that they are paid and have been waiting a long time, if at least they launch the beta version as promised at least there would be credibility.

yang

no expectations, no disappointments :)

ckone300

I don' t know if I can comment on this, bcs I don' t follow Icstor so long: I think we all like this game and the quality. That's why we all have to calm down a bit. Yes, it's pity that it didn't appear as announced. And yes, I or we would liked to have a short info about that. Whatever is the reason or the problem. But that's no reason to talk about Icestor like that. We do not all just sit there and don't know if the problems he says are true or lies. Therefore please, don't let your displeasure out in words like this. Let us go out, get a bit of fresh air and calm down. We all want to continue playing the game with the quality it has. I think it's one of the best games of it's kind.

MrBusiness

Well he also said the release this week. The week ends like in 10 hours or so. 🤣

MrBusiness

The major problem here is he promised us like 3 times now a specific release date and he keeps dalying over and over and over and the lack of communication is massive.

Vincent Claut

Be gramatic. If he does not respect his dates, nothing prevents you to reduce your support to a minimum. We are his bosses, not his friends or his colleagues. We have no right to judge him, reprimand him, and especially not the right to insult him! Redard? Ok, less payment. But we are in free countries, and if he wants to release his game on any date, he has the right. I think he's answering us not because he does not care about us, but because he has monstrous pressures. Do not wait for a date, pay less, and stick to it. In the same way, take back your payments when it holds its deadlines, the only way to be coherent.

Ronny_Sann

I was happier when I did not follow the development of the game xD

James O'neal

Bruh we're paying him, we have every right to to judge especially since it's the third time he announced a date and still zero release whatsoever

Fnurp

Youre right. Dont read the comments. Just go on work on the game. youre ready when you are.

James

We are not paying him.. We are supporting his project, theirs a serious difference.

Keil Cerno

Just please try to publish it at the end of the day...

Joel J Delgado

Some of yall need to calm the fuck down.

Yuxian Wang

I saw a group of monkeys dancing.

Brap

he is uploading it now boys, just said it in discord

T-N

cool, how long should it take?

Brap

somewhere in the next 30 min is my guess

T-N

thank-you

DarkMatterZ

He's uploading it for mac right now, then will post

charles bert

where do i go to download it

Mario G

Who’s Mac? 😆

DarkMatterZ

Honestly Idk *cough* PC Master Race *cough*

Yuxian Wang

you can download it if you pay $25

xDINO

no u cant i am 25 supporter and there is no link

charles bert

same here i dont think hes uploaded it yet

Vinicius Almeida

"Hey guys Quick update - The beta version should be released this weekend." Bullshit!! Im $25 and nothing. So, lets say Bye Bye

Marc Dameni

His uploading right now for mac.

Sflott

I thought he said we was gonna get this without having to pay anything this time or was he talking about the real game? Should that even matter?

Anthony Jenner

Wow the beta is out and you want to charge £25 to play the beta i think we have been delayed long enough i think its a joke that your only letting the 25 plus play the beta will some of us have been £10 a month patrons for a while

Sean Williamson

Guys lets all calm down. We know that in 3 days the beta should be complete and we can all see Sarah again. Just be patient. We have been waiting 2 months, a lil more shouldnt hurt anyone.

Sean Williamson

Wait so 0.6 has been in development for nearly a year?? And crap that sucks

Howard C Williams

We all been waiting a long time for this game because we love the story line and everything about the game. But letting only few play the beta .. that was kinda being the back side of horse going North. So I giving them Until Nov 1 to have it out or i am done supporting them.

Tom Kramer

What's uuuup. I haven't been here for long, so I won't make it long. I have been here for like a month and you broke 2 promises in the 1 post you made. So I'ma say bye and I'll invest in someone worth my time.

CHRME

Still there is money involved and we are supporting him by paying him to give us quality content

sullivan pereira

well i'm really disapointed. we are all waiting you and supporting you, many of us say nothing about the delay and just let the paiment for all this month because we knowh that sometimes its complicated with our personal issues, but really ? you let the uptad beta just for those who paye you 25 dollars.... ok 3 day is nothing when you wait so much time but i think we all waited so much times supporting you, you could fell free this one ;)

Anthony Jenner

this is a quote from he's e-mail he sent me " If you don't care about the animations you can start playing within a few days. :) " Ohh i forgot if you like to play the beta it cost ya 25 bucks

Aaron Lee

bruh what, he is letting the BETA patrons play the BETA, if you are complaining about not being able to play the BETA, just pay extra to play the BETA.

Pax

I did not support at the $25 Dollar level and those who support at that level and above do deserve to get something extra for it. I'll wait, just happy knowing that I'll have access soon. It would be nice to have some idea of what to expect, can someone post the new relationship level v0.6 will allow with each character?

DanySahne

Not 3 days. The beta is taking longer then usual. :)

Alec Cross

how long before alfa version is released

Probie67

Well. More waiting. I hope, as ICSTOR and colleagues continuosly say, that the wait is worth it.

Videogameplay111

Is it possible to get a save file ready for v6?

Rodney D Love

Looking for milfycity 6b for Android

Rob Parkinson

easy. put your 0.5 saves into saves folder of 0.6 after you download it.

Yka

cancelling pledge. greedy lazy fuck

Anthony Jenner

so ICSTOR when is the proper version going to be released? please give us an Answer

Anthony Jenner

Ps i dont want to be waiting till the end of this month as you already promised by the end of Aug then you delayed it and again delayed it and again look keep it up and im goin to drop my sub

Harlequin3D

Not considering there's 2400 rendered images in this update.

Yka

so? i had to wait a year for it and i needed to pledge 25e to even play it :D

john nitka

why is it when i download the game gives me 0.5 not 0.6?

Radostin

is it with animations and anything?

Diehard1

Where the link for download? Am a patron here

2026-09-06 15:00 Between now and 9 days the release will be out! The wait is almost over boys!!
2019-10-22 11:00

Nitin Sharma

Wish we could see how much money was raised for this.

idkwho

You really think so? I really hope it will be released till end of October, but I don't really think it will be.

eL1

Oh yeah another 10 days what a suprise.. x)

Deez

I doubt there are that many 10/month. I'd say ~7500 patrons are generating something upward of 30k/month, with more than half paying 1/month. Would be very interesting to know.

Lew

To honest hes had alot of money either way. Alot of games on the pc dont have as much funding as this guy and most of them games have a full release. I admit the game had big potential and now I find myself not really bothered about the next coming episodes/patches. Shame the amount of money hes had in total is in the 1000's its it hard to check if you know how to look. That being said I'm sad you've not been well mate but all that money could have paid for a couple of staff temps to get some stuff done. I am a game dev by the way.

Nick Heinimann (edited)

2026-09-06 15:00 I hope for his sake he releases it by 31st oct.. because come 1st nov there will be a tsunami of income comments and anger lol.
