This current poll maybe interest some people:



Apologies for double posting on the same day. I do my best to avoid that since I hate spamming emails.
But I am planning out my schedule for the year ahead of time and was curious as to how you guys prefer your update patterns?

(Renders are just images in the game. So 200 renders is 200 separate images in the game.)

(I would add more options in between but I don't think they're very feasible and I don't want to dilute the poll)
(Poll doesn't decide for me. I'm just gauging my community's opinion though I may choose differently.)

One or two 200-300-ish render updates a month (Sometimes Bi-weekly, sometimes monthly)7 %
One 400-ish render update a month (1 update a month)30 %
Full update whenever it's ready (Likely 1000+ renders whenever I'm finished with it. approx. 2-3 months inbetween)63 %

(1006 votes]

Thank you again for the share, will be interesting to see what wins.

And what the hell...

So, today is my second day on said meds. It's a low dosage to start me out on but I can't describe the difference. I always had the ignorant idea in my head that stimulants would do nothing but wire you up like a meth head but my experience has shown me the opposite.
I just feel normal... but not my normal. I feel functional and alert and able to do all these things that I'd have to force myself to do before. It's been awesome and I'm thankful I was able to overcome a fear of mine.
That is really awesome, Braindrop (if you read this someday). We've seen how hard on yourself you are, and second guessing everything, so I am glad to see you are getting some help. Life is hard enough, to not take every advantage you can to make it a little better, so congrats for this next step. I hope it continues to make you feel a little more grounded in life.

Okay, so I know it's never a great idea to let others decide how you're gonna do something and that's not what I'm doing here.
These times are also not promises. They're what I currently have planned as options.

The results of the prior poll were a little bit shocking to me. I receive many messages weekly where people exclaim they miss weeklys. So it was either a vocal minority or just players missing consistency. Which I understand.

I said in the mind drop I was going to release a small beta sized update just to get over a mental hurdle and that's still my plan currently.
But I am curious as to how you guys would handle it. I want you to answer completely honestly based solely on the game experience not on what you think is best for me.

For context. I've spent the last half year building up a backlog of renders. I've finished all the renders for Days 10-12 and almost all of 13 and 14. I've also made scenes that have been moved into later days.
(Same goes for animations and script. Most images are edited and ready, there's still bugtesting and tweaking lines which I always do. But it's mostly mental hurdles not work hurdles)
I did that because I knew a kid was coming and I wanted to be able to release while we got used to that whole thing... needless to say I didn't anticipate all the anxiety that came with it and the dread I'd feel anytime I'd even think about it. But I'm almost over that.

There's a second part to the poll. Something I've wondered about for a long time because I never wanted to have guilt fuel the poll.
I'm tacking on (pause pledges / dont) to these options just out of curiosity. It will not decide anything and once again I want you guys to answer honestly. I'm not broke, I can pause pledges no problem.
I am mainly curious to see how many are strictly here and support for game releases vs those that support for the bigger picture knowing I'm working despite the lack of releases recently.


No matter what I choose to do. The full Days 10-14 should be released late Feb / early March.
And if I choose to do the small beta release before the end of the month. I will also have the full day 10 release mid February and then the full days 10-14 after it.



(I will talk further about my plans regarding the last poll in the next mind drop. Thank you guys.)
(Once again sorry for notification spam. I'd turn them off for these if I could. I have the client poll later today and then I'll likely be silent until the next mind drop at least)

Small beta release before the month ends. (200-300 renders) (Don't pause pledges)4%
Small beta release before the month ends. (200-300 renders) (Pause pledges)0%
Larger release early February. (400-500 renders)(essentially everything leading up to the basketball game) (Don't pause pledges)9%
Larger release early February. (400-500 renders)(essentially everything leading up to the basketball game) (Pause pledges)1%
Release Day 10 complete mid February (1200 renders) (Don't pause pledges)8%
Release Day 10 complete mid February (1200 renders) (Pause pledges)1%
Wait and release Days 10-14 complete Late February / Early March. (1600-1800 renders) (Don't pause pledges)68%

Seems like the Patreons are widely in favor of waiting until it the complete update is finished. And want to be milked ;) lmao.

How would one go about changing their game developer tag to an "Abandonned" tag?

Clearly they're voting that way because they've accepted the fact that no one is gonna guess the meaning of WVM anytime soon. :whistle:
