Yo, it me.

Game / Dev related stuff:
- I'm back on track after that unfortunate week. I'm feeling amazing about my work flow and productivity lately. I feel really in tune with everything and am making minimal mistakes and everything is going smoothly. So really nothing to complain about.
:blush:


- Since this is a shorter mind drop I figure it's a good time to share this real quick. One source of frustration of mine has always been me struggling to keep up with some of the productivity numbers from the early days of WVM. It takes a lot more effort to reach those numbers and I've been susceptible to falling into a trap where I doubt myself and think I'm falling off or that my heart might not be in it as much as it once was. But the simple reality is that my renders have improved drastically and even though I have a lot more improving to do, what I do now takes a lot more time than it used to.
It used to just be me rendering a background and then posing the characters separately and being able to do 10+ poses with that same background. So outside of render times it was very little hands on work compared to now. I think with my current worklow and skills I could crank out 80+ renders a day if I reverted back to my beginner mode. Not really sure why I felt like sharing that tbh... guess it serves as a healthy reminder that self comparisons are pretty lame and can get toxic real quick and most of the time they're bullshit anyway.
:grin:


And also, I think I'm more in love with making this game than I've ever been. Nothing has really held my attention for 2 years before and I've never put this many hours into a single thing but I wake up every single day excited and giddy for what I'm going to make. Especially with everything I'm learning with blender... I'm super excited for what I can make in the future.
:blush:


Renders made this prior week:
(11 days since last mind drop)

New - 168 renders and 2 animations
Week 1 redo - 115 renders and 0 animations
(Currently working through a tough to make scene in the redo)
My goal is 20 renders a day, accomplished 25 a day even though I'm working in a tough scene so I feel really good about that.

Personal related stuff:
- Really boring week as far as personal life is concerned. My wife had a minor injury while we were at the gym earlier this week so I've been helping her out and we haven't left the crib much while she heals up.
:grin:

- Recently have gotten into the whole custom mechanical keyboards hobby and built my own. I miss my numpad, it's been 5 days and I still phantom type on it all the time.
:cry:


Upcoming content:
- Not upcoming but I put up the birthday renders on discord for tiers 1 and above. I decided to do 2 renders for each girl. So... so far there's been 8 total renders with 2 more coming on the 30th for Fyona. Here's an extra example

Vanessa2.png
(Vanessa's second render. The discord version is in 4K, patreon really kills the quality when I upload directly like this.)

- Updated Character Sheet
(Was supposed to be last week but was focused on making up some renders that I missed out on. Will be up early tomorrow.)(Will add Fyona, Ivory, and Yellow)

- Alanah polls
On Tuesday at noon est - Monthly render set Hopefully before the end of the month

- First Beta?
I said I'd have more concrete info last week but I'm afraid I don't have much to share today but I will have more to share soon.
I will say that the first beta will be a smaller one and it should be out soon but it will not be in August. I have all the renders and code, but there's some other things I have to work out that I cant talk about publicly yet.

- Next mind drop
Mind drops every Friday at noon est

Okay, that's all for this week.
:sunglasses:

Thank you guys so much for everything and I'll talk to you all soon.
Love you guys
:heart:

ohh thanks bro for the reply. sorry i just kinda assume there will be an incest content from how the mc adopted and real family interact with him. well to bad then i guess i should just enjoy jamie and shauna’s content
No incest not now or ever, just hints like Ratchel pushing the issue but nothing happens.
Just tease nothing more. Sure wish I could see into the future and see how the living arrangements work out. Will Cedey stay with Mc unmarried as well as Azel and his other mom.
Will the ton of girls he's met stay with him unmarried or go their separate ways and find somebody else that won't even come close to MC and then regret it. Life must go on and so do bad choices and consequences of such choices made.

There are a bunch of things contributing to the prevalence of the incest topic on this thread, in my opinion.
1) It's a kink, and people like to see their kinks in games they play.
2) It's a harem game, and many people don't like seeing women in harem games they can't have.
3) For better or worse, BD's "trolling" about the incest is a contributor to it coming up again and again.
4) People being unwilling to check the thread to see if their questions have already been answered.
5) The rise it gets out of people so often when it's brought up (i.e. trolling).

Just like some people don't want to stop talking about the duckface stuff, or prefer the women in the game with specific body types, or the people who don't want Jamie and Shauna to *have* to be in the harem for their own various reasons.

None of these topics are going away. Best we can do is calmly explain the situation when it comes up, and move on.

I think that if you have been following the game for a while it is kind of dumb to still engage in the incest debate, BD has made it clear that there won't be incest in the game. But if you play the game for the first time, the way the characters interact with each other kind of leads you to believe that there is the possibility of it happening. The first time I played I was conviced that Azel was supposed to be a love interest and then I read the thread and all my dreams got destroyed :KEK:.

I think that as long as this debate stays on this thread, the more BD is going to keep stirring the pot! I expect more long kisses with Azel, Willow is going to get stuck under the bed, and the MC is going to be tired and horny one night and accidently slip into his birth mom's bed. I cant wait to see what incest stereotype BD alludes to next!

This does raise some questions on how patreon would view an incest parody that forgets it's a parody.
