VN Ren'Py WVM [S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 13 B3] [Braindrop]

[Manman]

Dang, I finally picked this game up and spent hours just waiting for Harper content to finally pop up only for it to be start crashing around the Zoe car scene, so best I've gotten was a kiss and a drunken "love you". I'm gonna give it another go, but before I waste my time, does it ever get to her? I'm sick of sitting through these mandatory Jamie and Shauna scenes, I lost interest in them like an hour in.

Was also waiting on Willow and Wendy scenes but looking through the thread it seems those will never be added? What's the point of having them in the game and constantly kissing then? Very strange design choice imo.

That doesn't mean the game is good (successful shit, often isn't), it doesn't mean it SUCCEEDS in particular areas, such as storytelling or characterization, but by a general measure, this game, sadly, is a success.

Exactly. It is like saying McD*nald's is a failure because you didn't like your burger. It is one of the most popular fast food chains in the world because the food is cheap, available everywhere, and appeals to the lowest common denominator.

WVM is the same, to appeal to the most players possible. WVM is basically what you get if you take all the most popular AVN tropes of the last 5 years, and put them all together in a blender. It is the Micky-D's of AVNs.

- College Theme - check
- Magical MC that everyone is DTF instantly upon seeing him - check
- Except for a couple of Tsundere girls - check
- Cheerleaders - check
- Curvy girls - check
- Thin spitfire girls - check
- Long lost sister + mother - check
- No father - check
- Every girl has her own special "problem" that only the MC can help with, for the white knights - check
- Harem - check
- Vague mystery about shadowy figures just to have something for the MC to think about, but really isn't interesting or important to the game - check
- 50 Plus love interests, to appeal to just about every possible player - check
- And, for the first year, super frequent and lengthy updates to get everyone used to seeing the game on the front page, to get as many fans to try it as possible, and pledge, before the big switcheroo to ~once yearly updates (so he barely has to work, genius!) - check

WVM is practically one of most successful AVNs ever made. Whatever we think about the current state of the game and how the quality and amount of content has fallen off a cliff, the dev is a genius.

This game confuses me. I love the story and the renders, but I've never heard of a freshman in college being treated like a celebrity, in the way girls treat him. He's straight outta high school, first year on a college team, and he walked in the school already a huge celebrity.
To boot, he treats the other team members as if he is a boss. Any sports teams I was on in the past, the team captain could call plays and such, but the coach is the actual boss.
If any captain were to talk to the other team members in the way he talks to them, half the team would either quit, or wanna fight with him cause he'd be seen as a pretentious, almighty prick.
Of course, I've never left good ole Murica and have no clue what college and high school sports are like in other nations.
Just my 2 cents. Carry on. lol

Well, didnt Lebron went from High School to NBA or something like that?

I am pretty sure it could happen to be a Star since Day 1 in College

Over a year... a literal year of him trying to rework the first part.

Him now apparently saying "Fuck it, I'll get it eventually"

And now putting out an update and doesn't even finish a single day in one update... *bangs head*

 

[brunor88]

About this update: I expected more from this update. The developer took so long to update that I thought the chapter would be longer. What I see is that he's only concerned with keeping supporters donating money to him. First he did that weak update about Harper. And now this super small chapter. The time he spent doing the update over the time he spent now on that chapter. He could have done a much longer chapter. But I repeat: He is only concerned with keeping the supporters. What is a shame. I've seen a lot of people giving up on this game. It takes so long to update that one ends up forgetting the game's history.

 

[Aioto]

It's an easy fix not to have the jaundiced eyes, just open in photoshop and correct the white balance.

Why would he do that on this version when he has the rework?

 

[brunor88]

And another thing: I didn't like what he did by changing Lauren's appearance. Looks like someone else. Lauren's appearance from before was already good. I really don't understand why he decided to change her appearance.

 

[Springbuck]

WOW, just finished the new update. I have been waiting over a year and the update didnt disappoint. Loved seeing a little character development. The only thing that might be a negative would be that I would have liked to see a full day of the story, but Hey, Ill take what I can get. I really LOVE this, keep up the good work BD!

 

[brunor88]

I almost forgot: There were also new characters that had never appeared and telling stories that were never shown in the game. A total waste of time and super confusing.

 

[FookU2]

Hasn't had much sex lately, lots of interrupted moments.

The updates were pretty short, though, so 1 creampie per update is cool with me. This game is good enough to keep me occupied with the story, sometimes. lol

I thought Millie was given a ride to the "Yellowstone train station" and she was gone.

Lebron wasn't the only player who went straight from high school to the NBA, but even he wasn't treated like the MC of this game. I wasn't saying you can't go from high school to the NBA, and I wasn't saying you couldn't be nationally popular while just being in high school or college. Tee Martin was a legend in my mind, before he even went to the NFL, and of course, so was Peyton Manning. I was just saying, it wasn't a bunch of girls stalking them and being like "OMG, my panties are so wet, just from seeing him in person, that I wanna go chase him and harass him and grab his nuts and risk getting kicked outta college." But, as was mentioned above already, that's perfectly fine for a porn game, cause don't we all wanna see him knock up as many chicks as possible? lol

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain…

leave Britney braindrop alonneeeee!!

 

[Irgendwie Irgendwo]

That's being too generous, I expect late 2030 if it's not abandoned again by then.

Soooooo, riddle me this, please: When was the VN abandoned the first time?

 

[polycentric]

I went to school with Magic Johnson, two years behind him in high school and one year in college (graduated early). He was a phenom as early as junior high, was a sociable enough guy and did have women that were attracted to him, but nothing like the MC in this game - not even close.

This, among other reasons, is why I've walked away from WVM because it has gone from a semi-wholesome VN with a semi-interesting story and hot girls to a crazy-ass conspiracy story with 947 characters and whatever sex fad happens to be the flavor of the moment.

Braindrop has made it clear that WVM was never meant to be "BasketBall Simulator - Groupie Edition" but I think there are better ways to tell a story around MC's basketball story arc without a lot of effort and have the same amount of erotisicm. And, while I know this is going to be unpopular, I put WVM in the same category as "Being A DIK" - a (and I use this word loosely) story written by someone that never actually went to college and thinks that Animal House and Old School are documentaries.

Look...I know that this is a fantasy, but there are plenty of VNs that are more tethered to reality and common sense than WVM. I'm not trying to talk anyone out of playing it...play it if you like it but it's kind of silly to suggest there's anything remotely realistic about this low-intensity dumpster fire.

I gave your post a like - not because I agree completely - but, because you knew Magic. Ummm...just kiddin', honest. You make quite a few good and interesting points: there are a number of better stories and better story writers of VN's. But, there are a shit ton that are worse to much worse. I also make some allowance for the fact that it is, after all, just porn. Finally, quite frankly, I'm attracted to a story where the MC is not a 5'7" 125 lb dweeb.

 

[StopMeIfYouCan]

hmmm i played that new update today and it kind of seemed famiiliar to me at some points,so i looked at the old version without this update and WOW most of this new content was already in that beta version that came out how many month ago???

ps : facepalm me all you want it does not change what it is ...
a 359 renders update with what 208 renders from the last beta????
so technically this update is ONLY 151 renders long not even half as long as promised i think.

It's nice to get back to the game not great but also not terrible it was ok. But promised 300 renders was actually wasn't 300.

Finally someone stated the obvious. If im not wrong beta was released in october. Since then we got only 151 new renders so far.

This is my response to the update.
