I don't think BD will be winning a Pulitzer Prize for the writing in WVM either. Daniels K can say he finished games at least even if the endings kinda sucked.

I think what's slowing down BD (on top of the personal issues) is the fact that he's basically re-doing the entire beginning of the game as well as trying to push forward. I think it would be worth it to just dump that and leave it as-is, and then just move forward with the new organized version, because then there'd be a delineation between MC's life, and MC's life with 3 (or however) managers in control. Like, use the meta to enforce how much MC's life needed order before Jamie/Shauna/Jasmine took over.

yeah same on any other game he have it feel like a porn logic and he add a story for the sake of fullfilling "Novel" in VN
I mean one could probably make a similar argument about WVM. Its story hits all harem game tropes and doesn't really add anything new to the genre. Then there are all the coincidences in the story. It is still fun to play though.

Well, Good writing and the almost All-Male-Dream-Scenario are two different things. Because this Dream-Scenario the writing doesn't really matter anymore to 95% of the People. The writing in WVM isn't bad but it could get much improved.What do you mean? A story about a gary stu basketball boi who beds 15(?) girls within a few weeks at a new school isnt compelling or well written? but he meets some of the girls two or three times before he brings them into the over 1 dozen person harem?! If that isnt good writing I dont know what is! (its wish fulfillment thats what)

Funnily enough, that was one of the things I was looking forward the most in this game lol. It should probably happen in the next in-game day, I think, but ehhh, you know..

Yikes, I totally forgot about that. I think it was because MC is injured, right? It's been a while since I last played..
Got to say that I never care for playing basketball in the VN, if I would I probably go out and play or at least play a video game, seems dumb to want that in you know... an adult visual novel, just saying. Dev's time would be better in limiting the duck faces and maybe stop adding LI, what's the point in having a 30+ harem if the actual time spent with each girl is their introduction an a "we'll bang ok" promise?
soo i think it starts to happen at last slowly i think but it beginns.
passing payday he lost the typical 500 supporters so no big deal there,but from the 1st to second of august after past payday he lost another 300 supporters.so i think slowly his fanboys starting to realize what is happening.
and that kick in the butt is the first thing he needs to wake the fuck up....
the number of supporters have never dropped under 3k and now he is at 2870.

Yeah, my interpretation is, that the 300-render update got people's attention, and (like me) they hoped he would come through and release that next 400-render update soon after.
Now, after that didn't happen, more and more people lose faith he is legit/able to pull himself out of the current situation.
I was a long-time supporter but stopped after that poll if he really should release what he had like he said or hold it back again.
And I won't support him again until a somewhat steady update schedule is maintained.
Which isn't that likely to be anytime soon even if you think he is legit.
With him announcing to not communicate in regards of game related stuff even in his own discord anymore, there seems to be no chance to get any info about anything in the future - something I would have had no problem with like 1-2 years back (most likely), but right now - no way is that a basis for supporting him again without any trust rebuild, which might take a few years with his potential, unknown update schedule.
yeah he made like the wrongest choice a person can make in his situation to get back on track.
not like he made a lot of right choices in the past since it begunn to go south for him,but this one it the worst he could make if he wanted to get on track again.
most likely the oppside will happen now with his decition he made.

Everyone is still waiting for mind drop 43 since he wanted to save that number for the update looks like it will be even longer

And it won't ever come ... If he does as announced, we will get PR-drop 43 if we are lucky.
Not sure what those are supposed to look like at all ... If that is someone's bi-weekly PR take on what's going on, something like "BD said he has done X images and Y animations, also he is working and in good spirits. The Rework is coming along. There will be an update in the time to come." ?
I mean, a significant amount of those drops were how he feels, what's going on, and lately, why he had another delay.
But with him not sharing anything personal, and giving no release estimates anymore - what is there left to post in such a PR-drop?
That's part of why I said, chances are low to get any real info now. With a release schedule not communicated/set, and no info shared besides "I did X renders.", we could wait half a year or more without anything substantial, even if he started to work productive 8hr days from today on. It sounds literally like just trusting and hoping that something will eventually be released and that he will now, after all this time, be able to get forward again ...
That's also why I said rebuilding trust could take years. Assuming he recuperates right now, and just uses long release cycles like I expect him to do, let's assume 9 months each - to have somewhat of a series of successful updates, it would take 3-4 of those. So until he had proven to be somewhat consistent, he would need up to 3! years.

The last update was really nice, but the weak are starting to doubt you Braindrop. We need but a sliver, a drop of content to sate our need, for in the grim horniness of f95zone there is only criticism and the crying of thirsting fans.

That will be the killer blow with NO PR who is he going to hire for the job this ain't like a big games developer who have people to handle all that. I know of one online game I used to play their moderators didn't last a few months as they got pissed with the feedback being ignored by the developers losing their online player base.
Most VN's on here are awaiting their updates which have taken the same amount of time but people have been well informed, probably BD will just get one of his friends to do it to feed more shit
I can't imagine that hiring a PR person for a game like this is going to be anything other than a disaster. This game and the entire "community" around it are too small to justify hiring a dedicated employee (what the hell would he/she do all day?) and online PR firms don't like touching anything adult related. So, he's going to go with a volunteer who might get paid a bit under the table.
But, who would volunteer for that job? Exactly the kind of people who work as mods on Discord or Reddit. They'll be picking fights on every social media platform, maybe even here, constantly, and threatening to ban or whatever anyone who disagrees with them. And they won't care at all about communicating whatever they do know about the game's status. IOW, grab popcorn if BD really does go this route.

dude is making 17k a month, refuse to hire help in the development of the game he objectively can't handle, but will hire someone to read the disappointed comments about the lack of progress of the development.
honestly if you're still supporting consider picking up smoking or a gambling problem, those are better uses of your money.

The point you fail to consider in this, is that hiring a team to work on a story means giving up the certainty that the project will go the way you want it to. As more voices get added, there are more steps, and thus a growing potential of something not being made the way you envisioned it. For some people, it's a problem, as they have more or less a clear idea of where they're going, and would rather avoid deviating from their plans.
Let's, for example, consider renders. If Braindrop wasto hire someone to do the posing and rendering, they're take the risk of the renders not being the way they planned them to be. And having to carefulyl detail and explain, or even sketch it, would basically take as long as doing it themselves.
People tend to just throw the "you make huge money, you're rich, just hire people to work faster", but that's not always a good solution. Mind I remind you of Breeding Season that took this path and ended up imploding, too ? All it needs is team members fighting for the whole project to collapse and dissapear totally.

that's a good point for a project that delivers. I used to agree when BD released updates and that's why I supported him too, but not hiring any help because it might mess things up when BD is objectively having big issues with delivering updates for a long while now (because life, quality of content, etc) is just bizzare.
He needs the help.
