Just was not sure if he never hit the promised date/period for any update , beyond a year . I guess he did notI mean, the list of excuses started around end of march 2021. So it´s way more than a year....
Yeah, because she is actually well designed. Aubrey is a good name for her because it subtly references auburn. The other girls being literally named after their colors, despite having real names as well which we don't know yet, is just basic contrived shit because they're all tacked on characters with no real purpose. Aubrey is definitely a superfluous character as well, but she, along with Eden and Hannah, add to the atmosphere of the MC being a burgeoning celebrity. Having some established celebrities around the MC makes sense, even if they are a little too eager to be around him (just like every other girl). The problem comes when you add half a dozen more color-coded randos to the mix. They're totally redundant.
Every positive change in workflow that he has made within the past couple of years has been reverted before very long, so I'm skeptical.

Dude, I see you're into the whole 'brevity' thing.
This dude really can't for the life of him hold a proper workflow, he managed to make one for a while and barely held onto it for one or two months and now it's back to this. I wonder if he'll ever actually finish the game or quit halfway through
he's dev reports are getting later and later as the weeks go do you think we'll get an update before the end of the month or is he pushing for time so he doesnt have to turn payments off for lack of work and releases still

Dev Report #39 (April 24th, 2024)
Yo!
Decided to go back to E13 for this report's teasers... even if they're similar to previously shown ones. I'm kinda running out of good teasers that don't spoil too much lol
But you may have noticed that the render and animation numbers didn't move much this week and that's due to me finishing up all of the alterations. Which means I've been in the testing phase for a few days now.
Testing phase includes bug-testing, proofreading, and overall vibe-checking. (As well as just finishing up all of the little things.)
Full transparency, this is the point of the process where I've been getting in my own head and then deciding to make massive changes. But, that's not going to happen again. Of course things could always be improved but I am happy and content with how it's all turned out.
Part of "Vibe-checking" does include making minor changes, just the stuff like adding or even removing transition renders, changing up the phrasing of parts of dialogue, etc.
So far testing has had its ups and downs but things are still progressing smoothly.
Admittedly, I'm fighting every urge I have to set a release date. I don't know why I'm so married to them even though I have the worst track record in history with them. But I'm sticking to my word and I'm not going to set anything. There are still things that can go wrong, recently I've had a number of issues during compiling.
Not trying to speak anything into existence though.
I mentioned in the last report that it was my desire to have the update out by the end of the month. Which it still is and I'm going to try my best to have it out but I can't promise anything there. If things go well, it will be close.
But I'm going to do the "smart" thing and operate from a "things don't go well" point of view.
In the event that the update is not out by the end of the month, then it would be out early in May.
With that being said, I want to remind everyone that the 800+ render, 20+ animation update will be made available to everyone at the same time. There will not be any delayed tier timing.
This includes for all former patrons due to earlier promises. So if you're not down with how long things have taken (totally understandable) you can withdraw your pledge and still have access to the update. All you need to do is make sure you're in the discord.
I wish I had more exciting news for everyone. But we are in the final bits before this update will be in your hands. The one thing I can promise from all of this is that there will not be any more medium or large changes to any of this content, no more of that.
That's all I have to share for now, I'm going to go get back to work on finalizing everything.
Once again thank you all for your patience and understanding. I truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful week and I'll talk to all of you soon!
♥

"I know we are late with this project and the customer is pissed off, unfortunately the vibe check didn't go too well so let's check again in a week or two"
"Get out"
Imagining BD working a real job is really funny to me.

After following this game for years, seeing BD's reputation go down the shitter, the extremely personal patreon posts, and the numerous excuses he's come up with—plus the MacKenzie Saga (truly the funniest thing I've ever seen out of any dev)—it's really not hard to see why he continues on like he has.
It's more than just his patrons acting as yes men and giving him money even when there was no releases for the longest time. It is a strong parasocial bond that's developed ever since he got bigger. It's like a symbiosis, albeit a pretty lopsided one. With all the endless positivity he's showered with by the patrons and Discord users, with the big meanies blocked and ignored, he views his customers more as his friends. They're understanding when he fails to meet a deadline, comfort him when he treats Patreon posts like a therapy session, and cheered him on during his long dryspell. Even the whole MacKenzie thing has been quietly swept under the rug, with his loyal followers either never bringing up how made up an entire person to act as his PR manager (who also sucked at the job), or the ones left who haven't been banned truly believe MacKenzie went back to her home planet. And there's always people who say that it's his story, and he's free to tell it however he wants, change the character designs as much as he wants, drag his feet on releases because more time = more quality (a universal truth lmao), and whatever nonsense that drowns out any negativity, no matter how warranted.
This isn't to say he's just an innocent guy, who is very ambitious but in way over his head. He absolutely intended to include incest at the beginning, whatever he says about it now. Pivoting away after the Patreon crackdown is understandable, but he continues to bait everyone with all the overly touchy family love between Ethan, Azel, Cedar and now Wendy. Remember "Insects!"? That was funny.
He has disavowed this site, nothing new with devs who start here, but he did have tons of support and constructive criticism back when he did regular and quick updates. Even with the bubble he lives in, he knows that his name is mud here. The 52/52 promise really wasn't needed, since his fans love and support him no matter what. But here, when it looked for a minute like he was actually improving on his work ethic, some people started changing their tune. Of course, that did not last long, and we're back to normal now.
It is quite apparent that the only one who can help Braindrop, is Braindrop. Hiring a manager or team means splitting profits, and that's out of the question. He's stuck in a vicious cycle with his patrons, who throw money at him even if he says he'll pause pledges. Even if F95 was comprised solely of respectful people who want nothing but to help him get back on top, if we aren't giving him cash, our opinions are worthless. Don't even get me started on the Season 1 remake.
What I'm trying to say is, WVM will continue for the foreseeable future, where in no time, the planet will be populated with nothing but Ethan's concubines and their army of children. Then when the aliens arrive, Ethan will dick them into submission, and the entire universe is open and ready to be impregnated.
