No need to be rude. I am disabled with a terminal disease (Juvenile huntingtons disease) and get confused easily and I thought it would show the custom last name on the shirt.

I also am using a walkthrough mod so that might be how I was able to choose not sure, but I can choose View attachment 3440789
All images in this game are pre-rendered, so any custom text won't be shown in the pictures. You'll only see custom names in the story's text and dialogue.

Yeah, mod's often give this option, but it kind of breaks the imersion when you get to the prerendered images that have a name seperate than the one you chose. I have a similar issue with my game because the mod lets you change the last name. I do my best to use the last name as little as possible, but it's easier in my game than it is in one where the MC wears a sports jersey. I do understand the desire to change the last name though. Every time I find a game that lets me change both the first and last name, I play as Phillip Herkhunt. (if you dont get the joke, say the name outloud a couple of times, you'll hear it.)

Man, how I love redheads! They are my mona lisa of the world. Oh, but if we're talking about the game, it's great; good theme with basketball. I'm just any Sakamichi, but with the detail that: everyone wants to fuck me, even the MC's two main companions.

Info: the surename input at the game start is a base feature of the game, I only add the renaming option in my Mod menu

but there is a music bit? and a music folder? View attachment 3440793 View attachment 3440791
That folder is from my Mod. You actually should hear my main menu track when starting the game. But ingame you have to use my player for the music tracks.

Am I the only one who feels like the dev only continues "working" on this game cause he needs the money but no longer has any interest in it? It feels so stale now and all over the place with no real plot anymore.
Well personally i believe that at some point he lost his way on how he wants the story to go forward...

I mean, yah, you could kinda tell somewhere around the 40 LI's mark :ROFLMAO:
Seriously tho, he pretty much said so himself multiple times, he also failed to improve multiple issues he noted himself (reworking the first part of the game because too much happened too quickly, second part of the game the MC manages to fit 200 hours instead of 50 hours every single day).
That's why I stopped caring, I strongly believe BD, now or in the future, isn't able and won't be able to improve WVM and should abandon it and move on to a new project.
WVM was never great when it comes to writing, but it was fine for a 'power-fantasy of a very young basketball fan', over time he stopped trying and went for 'random sex scene with random LI simulator' instead, which works for some games, but those games does not have a puke inducing mood-killing duckface surgically attached to each LI face.
Now its just a funny thread to check out every once in a while.

What are you expecting for help? Someone to photoshop your MC's last name onto every image of MC's jersey?
its actually a lot simpler then that to display the custum last name instead of the shirt already having a name there you have it blank and just use a custum overlay screen with the users name. since its all static images its really simple to add... well at least for the scene since the shirt is "flat" when its crumpled up thats when it becomes tricky

Ya but since it's a sports jersey it's probably gonna end up being rendered at multiple angles and using an overlay is gonna look hella bad anytime it's not flat and pointed straight at the frame of reference.

I think the exact same thing would just happen with the new project, it'd get unfocused and bloated and end up dead. BD seems like a perfectionist with a million ideas, a marginal understanding of how he can fit them into a single project, a good grasp on personalities for writing a few characters (but not 50+) and no clue how to handle an advanced plot. Excuses or not, multiple times now he's hit a mental roadblock when there's a """major""" development in the story and everything has come to a stop. His perfectionist attitude stops him from releasing what he has because it's "not good enough" so we get more and more sex scenes with girls named after colors so he can "make up for the delay." WVM is on a downward spiral of BD's own design, I don't think pulling the plug on this and starting a new project would change a damn thing unless he forced himself to only have a dozen or so girls. But, that leads to a different problem because one of his few tangible Patreon benefits is voting to add a new girl to MCs babymaking scheme.

As I said, it's spiraling out of control.

Maybe, though I feel that if he mapped out the game better and GREATLY reduced the amount of women he'd have to focus on, it would allow for him to not have to create so many different stories for a single game and could actually help him focus better. Like I've brought up before, if this game reduced the women to 10 (yes, that would suck because that means many LIs people like will be removed), this game could become more focused and having just 10 women to stick with would allow for BD to be more laser focused without needing to go all over the place.

would be tricky but very doable, but mostly really should've been done for that scene alone (the first time we got the jersey) after all the build up and etc for it, it would've been a nice touch as is right now its like 20 minute build up to get the jersey with a name only for it to be the default name was such a let down and a waste

little things like that can make a big difference also would help BD excuses have "sorry for x month delay was working on tiny details i had to get right" if he actually added the tiny details like that Lol and not stupid black box facees

You are both making some very good points, but I feel like BD's bigest problem is that he needs a manager. As preglovr12 pointed out, BD has too many ideas and characters for one game, and as jish55 said, If he planned the game and cut the # of LI's the story would be easier to write. It's like one of you is saying "Here's the problem that's making it hard for BD to develop his game." and the other is saying "If he fixed that same problem it would be easier for him to develop the game." You're both right.
The real problem, as I see it, is that BD has no one with Veto power over him dumping all of that extra stuff and ideas into his game. If he had a manager that he went to when he decided "Hey what if I add in a group of rich ladies on a power trip who want to worship the MC." Then the manager could say "Ok, that's a cool idea. lets add it to the 'future game ideas list' and get back to the basketball story." Then BD could say ok, spend an hour typing that idea out for a future game and then get back to writing and rendering WMV instead of just mixing in whatever crazy flight of fancy he thinks up into this story that now really has no actual plot or direction because no one is overseing him and keeping him focused.
If he had someone managing him and keeping him on track he could have already finished WVM and been on to his second game about the crazy coven of rich ladys that worship their king. He could even call it "Kingdom Come" or something catchy like that.
So yes, if he could fix his problem of overloading his game, It would be better, but as long as he has no one to stop him from throwing every wild idea he has into the story, then starting over wouldn't help, it would just doom another game to follow the same course.

Being a dev is stressful, and I know I am constantly getting new ideas, but instead of just mixing them in with the current plotline I put them asside for the future. If I am ever able to develop them all I will eventually have over 17 games. But right now I just try and manage myself as best as I can and stay focused on one at a time. I am by no means the best manager out there, but I did spend almost 20 years in management positions before branching into making AVN's, and that experiance is helping me to manage myself. Hopefully BD will eventually either find someone he can trust to tell him "No." or learn to manage and limit himself better. I'd hate to see WVM fall appart completely and end up abandoned because he can't figure out how to continue to ballance all of the spinning plates that he set into motion. This game started out with such great potential...
