It's May 19, meaning the spotlight is now on Lauren. The counselor and the new head president (replacing Charles) at WVM. A kind woman who made a career out of helping people overcome their problems. Curious to see the changes now she's head of WVM and what happens if MC is caught streaking again.

Happy Birthday Lauren!

Hey guys.

I appreciate all of the feedback on the last post about how most of you want the update to be delivered.
I will not be releasing in chunks, it will be in one large update.
I took some time to really think things through and I've come up with a hopeful solution to relieve some of my stress about releasing something though.

I do not have a current release date scheduled for the actual update and I do not plan on sharing one until it is packaged and tested and ready to release.
I am admittedly getting hit by many waves of second thoughts. I've reworked 2 of the scenes and have come to a point where I needed some time away from working on the game itself as it was becoming a bit self destructive since what I assume is grief I am dealing with was being channeled into doubting myself. I don't want to go down that rabbit hole again.
It's also been very pleasant to throw myself into something to work and distract myself with that doesn't need me to be very emotionally sound.

In this time I've done a lot of "side" work and I do have some release dates for some of it.

Firstly the birthday renders will be made up to date. This will include the girls in the months of March-May. (Zoe, Wendy, Talismah, Tia, Hannah, Eden, Katie, Aubrey, Emiko, Blue/Orange, Lauren, Anna, Yuki, Green)
These will be released on May 20th at 12:00 EST

Secondly, something that's been talked about for a long time has finally been made.
It is called "Day in the life of" or "DITLO" for short. (This is my hopeful remedy for my release anxiety)
This will be a series of short stories featuring characters and what they did on previous days in the story and the first one will be centered around Harper.
All renders will be in 4k (except for in the future when they're added as playable stories from the main game, they'll have to be scaled down to 1080p, the standalone will still be 4k though)
This first set will be released on May 28th at 12:00 EST
(More info on this will be in my next post)

Thirdly, I have reworked the Character Sheets.
Looking back at it, I'm not happy with the format I chose for them previously. Also a lot of measurements have changed and I also wanted to broaden the age range a bit.
These will be released on May 30th at 12:00 EST


Once again, there are no release plans for the update yet.
I'll be completely honest when I say I'm not doing very well emotionally. I'm okay, like life is still going on but I'm finding everything to be very tasking and difficult still. This situation has caused a lot of old issues to pop back up from things that happened in the past I think.
All I want to do is lay in bed, I'm fighting myself every day to get up and be a father and husband and to work on the game.
I'm talking to my therapist twice a week and doing everything I can but nothing is working.
I know it's a "time heals all wounds" situation but the more time that passes the more I feel like I'm suffocating.
I feel like I'm on a self destructive meltdown and I have no way to stop it. Every move I can make is the wrong move somehow.
Setting the dates for this side content is very much on purpose to try and kickstart that part of my brain to get my shit together.
I don't want to unpause pledges until I release the update but at the same time I don't know when that will be and I have a family to provide for.
Either decision will stress the fuck out of me since I don't feel like I deserve anything and the guilt will eat at me and make things worse or I'll pause and feel guilty for spending time away from family for no immediate gain and the stresses of that will compound into something worse.
And that "both sides suck" is true for just about every decision I have to make right now.
God my bed looks very appealing right now thinking about this stuff.

Sorry for venting, probably shouldn't include my brain vomit here since it's a bit too personal and I don't want anyone worrying too much about me. Might edit it out later.
I just wish I could get out of my own way right now.

I don't have a whole lot left to say.
As always thank you all for showing your support and all of the kind messages.
I hope to have better news soon.
Thank you for caring enough about something I make to read these.
Love you guys and talk to you soon.
I don’t know if you even check F95 but dude take time for you. Having gone through similar phases without even having the pressure you do I know how important it is to just focus on you whenever necessary or else it’ll get worse.
Frankly it’s amazing you’ve kept working/communicating so often with all your stuff going on and I don’t think many people mind hearing about it and most of us would encourage you to share as much as it helps. In fact if it’d help to just make regular posts that’re “Brain Vomit” I’d encourage it(Also call them that. It’s catchy/on-brand)-you could have a place to vent and it might even help with progress overall.
Anyway dude you do you-there’s plenty of good games to play while we wait and good things are worth waiting for. Best vibes, my dude

I figured, I'm just surprised how much better she looks. Wasn't really interested in her before, but now she can get my MC's dick if she wants it.

I'm not sure really. I like having music on in the background (can't stand silence)
And thats why i like music/sounds in my games/vn complete silence make me go crazy, i've play quite a few VN where the dev actually took their time to pickl the right songs/sounds for the scenes and it makes the sence 100% more enjoyable and can reflect the tone or emotion they want the scene to "feel"

HOWEVER i've seen some devs to throw random sounds/music in their game and plays randomly during w/e scene it can kill the tension/emotion in said scene

for those dev i rather they just use the "default" rempy sountrack (im sure lots of you know what i mean when i say the default sound track the one most people use Lol pretty sure some of those tracks are in the mod too Lol) as just light background noise

guess what im saying is either do it right! or use the default don't randomly throw in your rap music/w/e is "trendy" at the time (but i always prefer instrumental music for my games over vocals unless the vocals actualy reflect the scene 100% (which i've seen a few times but VERY rarely done right)

You know, these kind of posts just gets funnier every time...... Must be a real nuisance to be so butthurt over something you get for free.

BD explained in the sentence after why he is hesitant to release the update but if you actually read that part it would severely hinder your possibility to be edgy, wouldn't it?

I actually am a patreon subscriber tho so the free comment u made doesn't apply to me... and all you white knight cult people need to stop treating people that have a different opinion like they are trolls.... I enjoy the game I even subbed for it ... so that ain't the issue ... the issue being is that it's been delayed and postponed endlessly ... sure I understand his situation... but if he himself saying the update is basicly ready since it's been ready for like 6 or 7 weeks by now ... then just drop the update... and he can take a break from everything... but common the more he delays the more he will doubt himself let's be honest ... but yeah I ain't surprised more and more people are getting annoyed by this endless cycle

I'm on my first playthrough of the game, is there any reason there is no incest in the game?

I don't really care just the moms and Willow are hot, is it planned or has it been said there is gonna be no incest at all?

I don't like the aspects of going through 2000 pages of comments to find anything mentioning it lmao.

I actually agree with something you said.

Trying to achieve perfection and constantly redoing stuff is not good and is one of creative process problems. Nothing will ever be perfect.

But at the same time, i feel Braindrop got the wrong feedback by his supporters, which actually encouraged him to go that path, which was a mistake.

Anyway, whats done its done, BD does have to prioritize his personal problems over the game, but his supporters need to understand that sometimes, the best way to help someone, is actually not to give the feedback that someone wants to hear, but actually help the author to unblock himself when he falls into a vicious circle of redoing stuff.
