Someone please pin this to main post. As sad as it is, this whole fiasco has surely gone on long enough.- Failed to provide reliable deadlines.
- Continuously and repeatedly made promises that keep getting broken.
- Failed to care for his community by communicating and being transparent.
- Failed to deliver tangible content for years now.
- Failed to pause pledges due to lack of content.
- Made excuses, dodge around and avoid facing the issues around the game.
- Failed to provide content for his Patreons.
- Failed to seek for project successor or to put project either on hold or abandoned.
I will suggest just support another developer than him.Whilst I genuinely believe he's working (but at an incredibly SLOW speed) what annoys me more is the fact he's doing his usual "announce a deadline and fail to deliver" although this time he's also put a disclaimer saying it's not guaranteed so he's not obligated to deliver at the end of the month and based on his track record, no one was expecting it at the end of May. The best thing to do is wait a week or two for him to make an "update post" which he promised he'd do regarding any delays. This is the best we can hope for right now.
If you like less shallow games and less adult content, support Dark Blue with his game Hillside. Or for more adult content FOZ with College Bound, this guy updates like weekly his game.Whilst I genuinely believe he's working (but at an incredibly SLOW speed) what annoys me more is the fact he's doing his usual "announce a deadline and fail to deliver" although this time he's also put a disclaimer saying its not guaranteed so he's not obligated to deliver at the end of the month and based on his track record, no one was expecting it at the end of May.

I am half hoping he's doing the right thing and not rushing the game and has already completed the endings but is now padding out the characters with extra screen renders and animations to make the playthrough last longer. There's no doubt this is his most passionate work but he's also burnt out with it, this has to be his final swan song and I think even he wants to do it some justice. Because lets be honest, when v1.0 is released, he's not continuing the game like he said he would. He MAY do Halloween or Christmas updates that will last like 5-10mins each, which would also be like dangling a carrot in front of the the community whom would want to see the game continued or to be made into an expanded universe (which I think is the aim for Milfy Kingdom) but I don't see that happening anytime soon...
It's good enough having ideas but you have to actually work at it for it to come to fruition, this is something he's lacking now. I also think he doesn't want any other render artists or devs to work on it because he doesn't want to give up his assets (the models) which he actually worked on himself, giving up the source material (files) and risk having them leaked means anyone can pick up the game and take over the project since legally his material isn't patented which is also smart of him to do since why would you just give up your most rewarding game (financially) to a stranger who only put in the fraction of work you put in to develop it to this stage? Hence why Baron Games had to copy his art style instead of ICSTOR giving him the model assets.
The next game(s) he promised to hire a team for that (which I won't be playing after Milfy City is completed) but best of luck to him in the future.
I will agree with you when I see its endBest game ever !!!
My suggestion is that you try one, or a couple, of his games to get a feel for what's going on. It's been the experience of quite a few of us, and our opinions that almost (if not) all of his games have rushed endings with incomplete story lines and content (Incest Story, Incest Story 2, Milf's Villa, Milf's Control, etc.). At the end of the game you're left asking "Hey, what about the policewoman you introduced, got a cell number for and she tells you to call? Why doesn't she answer when I call her? Why won't she speak with me at the police station? What about the business woman in the office?" etc. In the case of Milfy City, I suggest you look at the opening page and look at the date he last updated the game (December 2019). There's a player frustration in that the developer continues to accept patrons contributions (Patreon), and providing updates as to the development status, but then fails to deliver anything except an excuse as to why the date wasn't met! This thread is too long to recommend reading in it's entirety, but if you read the last 20 pages or so, I think there is enough information to see all the broken delivery promises, questionable excuses, and frustrations players have (along with our rants and ravings). Ultimately, only you can form an opinion as to whether the developer is as bad as people make him out to be.For someone brand new to the world of F95, is there somewhere I can learn about why people hate ICSTOR? Thanks ahead of time for letting me know!
True!My suggestion is ...

BaDIK is a great game, really funny, and some of the animations are good (others not so much...), but there are other games that have better visuals, imo. Amnesia is probably the most well animated game I've seen on F95, looks great and is shaping up really nicely. False Hero has some great models, but unfortunately no animations, development has stalled, and the story is pretty mediocre. Rebirth has some really great models, too, (even the non-lewd ones) and an even better atmosphere.Nah, BaDIK is insanely good in terms of visuals, Milky City is just an outdated cheap scam with lousy 'animations' and a boring plot. Let's not forget that DPC deserves every dime he gets while this dude... well, u know how he rolls.
Whether u like the plot or not, nobody can deny that BaDIK is the best game in terms of visuals on F95. Nothing can compare to it, and I'm more of a COBD fan.

If you guys really wants to support someone, try "Three Rules of Life" from the newcomer "Red Dust Games", this guy actually knows how to write and only have 76 patrons which is way too little compared to the size of his work. This here is just a waste of time.I will suggest just support another developer than him.
If number Pateron falls then he will update. It may not version 1.0 but it will be an update. (v9.0 maybe)
My suggestion :
1. Girl House developer (consistent have only 1000+ patron)
2. The Awakening (way better graphic and story)

The small tragedy with Icstor is that despite all the hate he gets now this community does owe quite a bit to him. Western erotic games have been gaining a bit of traction in the last 2 years or so thanks in part to things like overall improvement in quality and platforms like Steam now fully allowing them to be hosted. There's a lot of newer members on this site and others who see Milfy City and kind of just assume it's part of the same crop as BaDIK, COBD, or ToN which I think is a testament to Icstor's level at the time because all his work predates those titles.Awesome comment.
Icstor is a wasted potential.
His laziness & his greed are out of this world.
(Of course, the most important thing is reliability which unfortunately most Patreon devs are still missing.)
But now only to go into the point of quality many people here say this game have the best quality overall that why they are scared that we will not see something at this level for a long period of time anymore, there is no need for such thoughts.
Im sure as hardware will proceeds it will get cheaper which will lead to the revolution in h games this means games like Milfy City, City of Broken Dreamers, Being A Dik and even The Awakening will be the standart.
With exponential progress you can clearly see what huge steps a dev can make.
A good example for this is psychodelusionals first game (Dark Neighborhood) vs his newest game (Apocalust)
its a difference like day & night.

Apocalust
Unfortunately, he is not known for being reliable either, but at least he has promised to improve and least communicates often with his supporters and im sure NLT will be at such a level within the next years & how fast he is we all know.
