Hello all!
There has been a lot happening behind the scenes and I'm here to tell you about some of it.
First off, let me introduce myself.
I'm Mackenzie.
(Actually, that's my real name.)
Braindrop has hired me to be his community manager and it's nice to meet all of you.
I will be the one making all of the posts as well as answering any questions that I can. Additionally, I have some other roles that we'll get into later in this post.
Let us start with explaining our plan for these Mind Drops going forward.
Mind Drops
With Braindrop stepping away from his public role to focus on the game, you may be left wondering how we plan on keeping you all informed on the progress of his development.
Our current plan is to have bi-weekly Mind Drops.
(So the next one will be on September 7th)
In these posts I will relay the information I have received from Braindrop about how much he has accomplished as well as any relevant info that needs to be shared.
We intend to share the usual as far as render counts and such but we also plan to add additional things like detailing a lot of the work that can go unnoticed.
We want to keep this first Mind Drop relatively short so we can focus on the necessary information but in the following one we plan on showing a lot of the work that went into making the background characters for the upcoming basketball game.
Updates
So, let me be blunt.
One huge thing that Braindrop made clear to me when offering me this role was that he did not want a PR person to hand wave away all of the mistakes that have been made and all future mistakes.
His words were that he wanted someone to "Keep it real".
A big fear of his was that if he stepped away he would lose a lot of "pressure" or "sense of accountability".
So, a big part of my job is holding him accountable to the things we've discussed and planned out behind the scenes.
Let's be honest. As far as the update schedule has gone... it's been awful. I know it, you know it, Braindrop knows it.
That goes for game updates as well as side content.
We have both sat down and planned out the next few months.
Another role of mine is helping organize out the files and what not for the updates. I've been given access to all of the files for Days 32-38.
Our plans change mostly everything that had been stated before. So forget everything that was said previously. We feel it is best to start fresh.
We will share that our plan is to start small but consistent to build up some momentum.
We will not be sharing any release dates yet... but be on the lookout for something very soon.
Side Content
Our plan is to get start releasing side content again sooner rather than later.
Birthday renders and client polls will be starting back very soon.
We also plan on adding a few different things that won't take much time away from development. Things such as "Additional teasers" posts as well as more silly things like hair swap renders.
There are a few other side things in the works but our focus is on getting the main game back up and running before delving any further into side things.
One final note on side content is that the Character Sheets will be updated after Days 32-38 are finished and released. They will be updated to the end of Day 38 and the intention is to update them after every in-game week.
Thanks for reading
That's all we have to share for this first Mind Drop.
We do apologize for how long this took to get out, there were plenty of issues with granting me access to the patreon and SS accounts. Things won't take as long moving forward.
We understand the situation we are in and how we're perceived right now. Our goal right now is just to get back on track however we can. Braindrop and I are forever grateful for all of the support through some of his worst times.
It's a new day and we want to fix things.
More soon.
Thank you guys and it's nice to meet you all. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have.
