April because he was still working, but he paused for May because of the tragedy!

He said he packed a lot into each day and the mc was only getting about 3 to 4 hours sleep a night. He wanted to make it more real better time management.

I'm sorry for going ghost for a bit.
I didn't want to make this post for a variety of reasons and I still don't really want to but you guys deserve to know what's up.
I left a comment on the last mind drop quickly saying what happened but to say it here also.
My grandpa that I spent the last 6 years taking care of passed away a few weeks ago now.
I paused pledges since I knew I wouldn't be able to work on the game much this month.
I was hoping to have the update out before the end of April since there wasn't much left to do and I was hopeful to get it done but anytime I tried... all I wanted to do was lay in bed.
Unlike my best friend and aunt that passed away a few years ago, I knew this was coming. He had been battling his illnesses for a long time and things had been looking rough for a while.
He was surrounded by family and we all had an opportunity to say goodbye.
So I'm okay. Fucking sad but okay.
I was his caretaker. It's been very hard adjusting to not having him around.
Also as his caretaker I have a lot to deal with. Funeral and all that aside and done I still have a lot of legal stuff and his possessions to work through. As well as the grief and everything.
I am taking some time off to deal with everything. I don't have any dates or updates to share. I'm taking my time but I will pause pledges until the update is out if it's not this month.
And lastly, a few weeks ago I had only ever banned a handful of people from my patreon. These past few weeks that number has quadrupled. Admittedly I'm emotional about it right now and might regret some of those later on but for right now:
Keep criticism about me and the game only. Don't bring my family into it or you're gone. Don't harass or antagonize other patrons or you're gone. That's it.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding and thank you all for the kind messages. They have meant a lot.
I'll let you guys know when I'm back at it. It shouldn't be too long.
Love you guys and I'll talk to you soon.

Thank you for getting this to let us know what is happening. And to the jackasses that bring his family into it, if you don't want to wait to play go on to another game thread and game. Let BD get things sorted out.
Much love, BD. This is my favorite game ever and it’s solely because you put so much love into it. Family should always come first, and as much as I’m looking forward to the next update, I also want it to be when you think it’s ready. There are plenty of fap games out there for those looking for a quick fap (along with plenty of free regular porn sites). But WVM is my favorite precisely because it goes deeper. Not in an Acting Lessons kind of way that is contrived, but more like Where The Heart Is, which is my second favorite game. And as much as I’d like to see the MC do more with Azel, I respect the boundaries that you’ve set, and will admit that she has been the source of several enjoyable faps, even with her clothes on. It’s her eyes. Having her be ever so slightly cross-eyed gives her the kind of imperfection that makes her perfect. Anyway, thank you for creating something wonderful!

You can ban people giving you money? I never knew that about Patreon.
I mean yes, I think it's stupid to attack the family or say shit. I feel that BrainDrop should leave his personal stuff away from Patreon and Discord. Actually he should leave his personal life off line completely. I mean he is making a game. If he needs to take some time, all he needs to say, is he has to deal with some personal things. That's it. He shouldn't divulge his personal in's and outs all on social media.
I get that's the trend nowadays, that you spill your life online but he would save himself future headaches if he left life away from people.
Now I understand he has to deal with stuff and the update is being pushed back to whenever, so until then, I guess all people can do is play other games and wait till it drops. I don't think waiting everyday to see if the update is going to be good either.

This the guy who volunteeringly shares what's going on his life. Might as well share his twitter/insta to follow. Is he peer pressured to give estimated time for updates and not realize he's failing on them every time. He should stop this and go see himself a good psychiatrist to sort himself first.

Oh yes you can and even more than that. You ban the payment method the supporter uses that means just using another Patreon Account won't work, don't ask me how I know
But if he doesn't talk about his life, what will he talk about?

He could just pause pledges and put the game on hold until he's ready

Hmm I don't know, how about the game? He can talk about movies he likes or games he interested in playing etc. You can discuss things that don't really divulge into your personal life.

How do you think people would have reacted if he started talking about those topics without releasing an update nor explaining why it's taking this long. What if people could infer that he's not updating the game because he's investing his time in watching movies or playing some other games. It's a lost battle either way so you might as well go with the truth
Call me cold-hearted pig, but lately I've only seen prolonged creative lockouts from developers who can afford not to need to answer to their bosses. But I'm not saying this is the case, not at all...

These are two things that are not mutually exclusive.
But let's put it this way, you have to be able to afford "doing nothing" to deal with your personal problems.
But to be brutally honest and really i want to say this without offending BD or to refer it "only" to him, at such a point you should think about seeing a therapist.
At a certain age we all find ourselves in the position of losing loved ones.
I`ve lost all four of my grandparents, my parents are at an age where it can happen at any time, but as cold as it may sound, life doesn't take it into account, it MUST go on.
It's also clear that every person is different and also deals with grief differently.
Losing a loved one is always sad, but it shouldn't be so upsetting that grief or everything that life throws at your feet, stops you from going on with your everyday life normally and stops you from seeing the good things that are happening in your life, like a wife or child who loves you and who needs you just as much as you need them then it really is time to seek help.
Because these are extreme signs of depression, and depression really sucks!
I wish BD all the best and that after a long time he finds his peace of mind and can finally be and stay happy.
Well, few things....
(1) If it true that BD was place as caretaker for his grandfather for last 6 years, need to give him the respect and space. Being a caretaker takes a lot of energy and effort to support the needs. With the balance being the caretaker, supporting his partner (wife/girlfriend) and new born child.
(2) Dealing with someone within the family or close ones who passed away, need to give them space. Need to allow the individual to find their grieving.
(3) Also if BD is the executor of the will, that will take a lot of work. Which means, he may need to get a lawyer to help execute his grandfather's will, taxes,and etc. Hopefully there will be no complication with the internal family members and etc it shouldn't take long to progress the will and have it all squared away with in number of months and the estate closed within less than one calendar year.
(4) As we all know that BD still learning to limited his personal life information from F95, Patreon, Discords, etc. No one is perfect, however majority of the people have done the same thing as BD.
Overall, BD has a real life and he need to take care of himself and his family. WVM can wait, since BD has pointed out that it +5 year project for him. Yes, we are aware that BD has delay few times for random reason (weather it valid or not). It is his project, he owns that project, and he delivers his project update when he believe it ready to be release.
We just need to learn to be patience. Which it is one of the most common issue today that most of us have little or no patience. Since most of us uses F95 to explore other VN/games, there are plenty of other projects to check out while we give BD his space and time.
Overall, I am still looking forward to his update whenever BD believe it is ready to be release. Since it been a while, will need to start from the beginning anyway to help refreshing the memory again.
Have a great day and be safe...

Consistency is the key. I don't care if it's weekly, monthly, or quarterly updates. Obviously, things happen in life that are unavoidable so delays can be expected. However, the whole "end of this month, middle of next month" cycle has been going on for some time now. Perhaps a lot of people are just jaded by other devs/projects who have burned bright and then flamed out just as quickly. I would venture to say that most people who still post here do so because they ARE still invested in WVM otherwise they wouldn't care enough to complain about updates.
I hope BD finds a comfortable rhythm in the future. I know I meme and joke about the elusive update but I'm not going anywhere. WVM is still a rare gem and definitely worth waiting for.

He's had about 9 months at least to get one.
