Braindrop in discord:

1. Sorry guys, I need a little more time than I thought I did to finish polishing things. Release times aren't changing for lower tiers but the next beta will have longer access for Starter+ tiers to make up for their times shifting forward. new release times:
2. MVP/HoF - August 14th, 8am EDT
3. All Star - August 14th, 12pm EDT
4. Starter - August 14th, 4pm EDT
5. Sixth man - August 14th, 8pm EDT
6. Bench warmer - August 15th, 8am EDT
7. Fan - August 15th 8pm EDT
   
   Release will be exactly 200 renders + 15 variant renders. No animations in this one but there will be a fair amount in the next beta.
   

I appreciate it but I don't take any "rushing" personally. I gave a time and that means I should hit it so it is what it is. Sadly something unexpected popped up that took me away from being able to work on the game for a good bit yesterday and I was operating on being able to work on it nonstop (besides sleep) until it was finished. All I can ever say is that I'm not trying to miss things, I'm doing my best and I'll eventually get there with all of it.

Like I said, believe it when I see it.
Sad to see a developer that can creat such a great VN being so full of

You know, it's interesting how fanaticism can alter reality. He casually forgot to include those lines, which I'm highlighting, in his quote...

But you forgot one thing, there is no "free version", only those that pay, so unless someone that is paying the highest membership of the game leak the build, we will still need to wait for someone else (lower levels) to leak the game for us, for what i know, the game was never put here by the own dev. I'm not saying that he will fix his schedule and never lie or do shit anymore, but we still need to wait for someone, from what i know, there is a lot of his knights on silver armour that maybe be have the build already, but will say "fuck you" to us, those that will mostly leak the game have the lower membership.

Come on friend, that is a fallacy, the question is that it does not even fulfill what it promises, and by the way, not with us "pirate forum users", I am referring to their Patreons who leave their money since they believe in it and want to support him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater. I just limit myself to saying things as they are, the developer does a great job, a sample of them is this Thread, one of the largest in the Forum, but his lack of commitment, responsibility and honesty take away many points.

As a personal opinion, I would tell you that the developer should put arrogance aside and form a team, hire some people, to work better and faster, but of course he doesn't, I don't remember the reason he gave at the time, but it was something like: " I don't want others to get their hands on my work."

A nonsense but anyway, his Patreons believed it. With what he earns from the game he can easily hire a couple of people to help him and as "Boss" he is still in control of his project.

Anyway, I already got off the topic, let's leave it here for now, good afternoon friend.

A smal observation, the site name is patreon, the people who suport developers work are patrons, not patreons.

I understand and i agree with you in a lot of things that you have said (mostly how he changed over the years), but what i was referring that some people want the build here the exact same moment that he released the game on patreon/discord, we literally need some of the patreons to give user access to the game itself, and since "most" of his patrons are happy the way that he is doing his job (like i said before, the knights on silver armour), we will only have maybe the last membership of those patreons (let's be real, nobody here will pay for the highest tier), is not a free game at all (well...is for us) we need some hero that is paying for the game to leak the game here IF he release the game on the right schedule, anyway, have a good afternoon to you too.

Well, if we're lucky we might get the leak very late at night, otherwise wait until tomorrow. In any case, I honestly don't expect much from this update. 200 renders with the number of lines that BD writes per render... I don't know, maybe 10-15 minutes and we're done.

It's interesting how the benchmark keeps slipping. The rather absurd 52 updates in 52 weeks went away pretty much after one week. That morphed into the 100 renders a week, 400 a month (per now monthly update).

And now the delayed update, coming in after the delays close to a month after the last...with 200 renders. It's still a respectable amount compared to many games, and definitely a lot better than 2 years of zero updates. But my concern is the trajectory the releases have been on, both in time and content.

The zero animations is a bit of a red flag. Either this update is all story and no action or Braindrop is struggling to render stuff in a timely manner now that his "buffer" of pre-generated content is used up.

Am I by myself in the "not really bothered how long it takes to get updates club"?

200 renders and no animation, and it's been almost a month since the last release XD

This was my thought process as well. *IF* he was serious about the 52 updates in 52 weeks, he should have had at least two/three months worth of content, done, finished, ready for shipping. He would be actively working/rendering on content that's months ahead of what is being released. That way, he gives himself enough room for error, and still continue to release content regularly. That "buffer" of renders he had, was easily the perfect plan I described. Unfortunately, Braindrop can't seem to get out of his own way.

If I was developing a game, and I've seriously considered it, that would be my plan. I assume that's what NTL Media does as well, which is why they/he(I don't know if it's a team or solo guy) churn out regular updates every two weeks like near clockwork. It's because they're already working on content that is months ahead of what is being released.

i would assume for a money reason but i think he is the only person working on it not sure on that
