VN Ren'Py WVM [S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 13 B5] [Braindrop]

[TheGreySun]

Awkwardly, I have to disagree. I dislike the current trajectory of the game, even aside from the atrocious release schedule and the lying about hundreds/thousands of renders that are going to drop any day now.

The game has just become a confusing, bizarre mess in the last few major updates (I tend to point to the bowling event as the inflection point here). Think about the recent scene with Zoey; she basically breaks down because she simply can't communicate how much she loves the MC and the emotions she has put down on paper are just too strong to verbalize at the present time. I'm sorry, this goes way past porn game romance logic and becomes hard to even conceptualize as sane. Zoey barely knows the MC and she's having panic attacks about how much she loves him and how scared she is to communicate to him how much she loves him and her feelings.

This level of overly emotional response to almost no real stimuli feels completely divorced from the fairly straightforward established relationships or simple lust that explained most interactions between MC and the girls in the first ~2 years of the development of the game. And this applies to more than just Zoey. As I mentioned in a previous post, the MC spent a bizarre amount of time in the last few updates just going from room to room hugging girls who burst into tears and proclaimed their devotion to him despite barely knowing him.

Maybe it was always the intent of the dev to take the story this way, but it felt like there was more variety in the types of interactions MC had with girls before. Some he had relationships with before the game started, some were pure lust, some liked him for his actions or his fame (like Penelope), some were "saved" or "protected" by MC (which I think was always the goal with Harper and Natalie). But, now they all seem to be protected/saved by MC and love and adore him for it. That lack of variety in the character of most of the girls, especially the "new" girls, really limits their appeal aside from relatively minor aesthetic differences. Normally, if a new update involves a scene with your favorite girl, that's something you get really excited about. For WVM now, what, aside from haircut, really differentiates half the cheerleaders from each other?

And that's leaving aside entirely that WVM, apparently, now exists in a world of ninja-employing mobs and some shadowy triumvirate of local political power that has secretly been watching over the MC for decades. Blegh.

Obviously, the fact that he's not even providing this messy story in a consistent fashion is an issue ("...and the portions are terrible!"), but I have real problems with the way the story has evolved at the exact same time his work ethic seems to have evaporated.

I mean, If we're talking about the changes he made I think it starts before the bowling night right?, If I remember correctly the game was originally supposed to have incest with the sister and step-mom(and probably bio-mom), but then when patreon changed their rules he said he won't be making incest content but "modders are free to add it if they wish", which caused some to reach out to him for the names of his models/BGs and textures, and were either ignored or blocked(only saw 1 claim of being blocked, so don't know the truth of that statement), followed by months later him changing his mind and announcing there will be no incest, followed by months later another announcement that he's "going back and shrinking MC's dong" and "reworking the story" which many took to mean the removal of the hints toward incest so people stop asking if it's going to happen. this is just stuff I remember happening I don't remember where in the BD timeline it all fits.

I agree with you, and speaking of strange situations in the game's story, I'll add one more strange situation, the fact that Rachael is hiding Talismah because she is a "princess".

 

[YepperCause]

facepalm me for talking about your gf or bf ?

I awarded you a facepalm because your post was silly. The user you were responding to was using his prior posts to provide evidence supporting specific empirical claims he made in the post.

Also, I was just being generous. See, you are the only user on this site I've ever seen with over 1000 posts who also has more posts than likes. That means that, literally, in expectation when you post, people don't like it. Because any response counts towards that total, the facepalm improves your likes/posts ratio a tiny bit. You're welcome.

 

[Sheppard3rd]

Just gonna trow this here i hear alot of people say he is just like ICSTOR what if he is the same guy?

 

[SoZ333]

This is another bullshit from Braindrop.

If he knows he is having issues, and has been having for 2 years, instead of hiring a PR guy, hire someone that helps you WITH THE GAME.

I know he prefers to work alone, but for the last 2 years he has been unable to properly work at all, we dont want better excuses, we want progress with the game.

Accept your limitations, swallow your pride, and hire help.

Plot twist- He'll still be working alone, the PR guy will be BD in a hoodie that's one size too big

as the kids say 'L + ratio', I think. just had someone explain it to me a couple of days ago.

Was a few Days not in here, just went over the last few pages quickly, no new sob story so far??

 

[jaw1986baby]

Happy Birthday Stacy!

[Ash22]

Any chance someone can clarify for me?.... Is 0.10.0.1 a complete "Season 1"???

I'm really not clear on what the diff between that version and the one I see posted as season 2 is?

Cheers

 

[mofonistik]

The Season 2 download contains the whole game (so far.)

 

[lemonfreak]

Dam, cunts here complain when BD is silent still complain, give him shit, make fun of etc. When he speaks out.

Man some real cunts here, including the mods considering they're doing fuck all.

Could you please have the common decency to forgive players for wanting BD to live up to his promises and deliver game content he claims to have made

This applies equally to patrons and pirates;sure, the pirates may not have given actual money to BD but they've still been repeatedly lied to which feels fucking shitty

There is a big difference from voicing one's displeasure and disappointment compared to the cuntish and trollish shit posts that fill this thread.

I get the frustration some feel even though I understand it less on the pirate side which ironically is always more vocal. What I don't get is the personal attacks, the toxicity towards the dev and his family.

As far as I know the mind drops were meant for the people actually supporting this dev with money. It wasn't posted here by the dev. So any info they feel betrayed by wasn't even meant for them. And frankly I don't see any dev owing anything to the pirates.

 

[Krispass]

Does the latest version include DITLO:Harper ?

 

[BTLD]

Does the latest version include DITLO:Harper ?

nope, that's a different download.
you can see it on the 1st page.

Point me towards the toxicity to BD's family in the last 100 pages of this thread, cuz I have been reading everything here for the last few months like the sad bastard that I am and I haven't see anything that you mention.

People are being "toxic" (if you want to call it that) towards BD because he deserves it right now. If you want everyone to kiss his feet, go to his patreon/discord (where he deletes the evil weevil posty wostys). If you want honest opinions, which includes the angry ones, stay here.

Truly please explain to me how a dev owes pirates anything? You state that he deserves toxicity and that it's all honesty. So honestly please do tell what this dev or any other owes pirates?

I doubt all the posts I referred to are deleted but I'm sure the worst were but I refuse to take the time to search for the remaining sorry.

 

[artofwar]

Well, it is actually easy to answer. Some People are much Stronger then Others. And you can say it's a Big Part of the Healing Process to talk bout this sort of things.

I think it's simpler than that. Some people use tragedies that occur to and around them as excuses and some don't.

Just gonna trow this here i hear alot of people say he is just like ICSTOR what if he is the same guy?

Not possible. ICSTOR's renders are far better and he actually has the capacity to write a coherent story. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy WVM but the writing is an absolute mess.

edit: also don't speak to me, I'm annoyed that you made me say something good about ICSTOR

My guy, where do you think this game started?

Personally I never say anything on patreon and I certainly don't join some random dudes discord for the porn game they make. That's just so fucking weird to me. Also I'm pretty sure I remember people claiming BD was banning people & removing supporters who spoke up a while back, so if that's true then it's not too surprising that you don't see much there. Also where is this supposed toxicity towards his family?

I'm not sure why you and some other people are under the impression that there isn't a single person here who has forked over cash. Since we've gone so long without a reasonable amount of content I'd hazard a guess that the people here are more invested than most and that you might be surprised just how many of them have supported BD in the past. I'm not sure why it matters in the first place though, the things people here are criticizing BD for are valid regardless of whether they fork out some money or not.

Just as an aside: if you don't want to hear pirates opinions on things then what the fuck are you doing here?

Please tell me you think that the 3k+ people that are paying Braindrop every month found the game through Patreon. Please, i need a good laugh, so tell me you really believe that

Well, if Pirates wouldn't have spreed the word this is a nice VN (besides the Dog Licking Kissing) it would be nowhere. Would have maybe have 100 Patrons, when not even less.

And he can ask for People who supportet him every month but stopt there pledges because of the excuses when they finally Lost there trust in the Dev.

With the problem BD is fighting, it would be best if he put the game on hold and fix his RL first. Even look for some professional Help if he can't do it on his own, he will just always fall back into his bad shape. Asking for Help is never a Bad idea.
