Mate... just read 5 pages back... or a 100... You'll see why this post is so unintentionally funny.
Kudos for making me laugh.
Peace

I am just waiting for the next delay exuse
I am also wondering who even asked the dev to remodel the house interior and exterior who even cares about that
Whats more funny was that he said 2023 will be a better year with plenty of updates and so on
But so far 2023 has been hit with delays and exuses just like 2022 had

Any unrest or update on discord.? I am guessing comments were all positive on patron thats why the long delay for the remaining 25%.

It's going to be along the lines that the alarm clock didn't work every 90 minutes. Sorry but considering what excuses he has come up with too exhausted will be the next one but that statement alone makes it less believable that we will get a massive updateI am just waiting for the next delay exuse

This date will not move again. Any further delays will result in pausing pledges until the update is released.
I'm not trying to play the victim here. I am the bad guy in this situation and I have a long way to go to prove I'm a dev worthy of the support he receives.
My actions have led to a lot of frustration and anger and I understand that and I agree that I have not done nearly enough to warrant the continued support.
It is not fair for me to keep giving out time frames and expectations and continuously failing to deliver on any of them.
My actions were not to trick or deceive.
But good intentions are far from enough. The reality is that I have not been a man of my word for a long time.
My goals were way too ambitious, I consistently found myself working from behind because I think I can achieve more than I can.
I hid behind becoming a husband and a father, I hid behind having to move multiple times, I hid behind the deaths of people I love, and I hid behind just about anything I could. I am not proud of this.
While these were all huge life events, I used them to excuse myself from the responsibility I hold as a developer who is actively taking pledges.
I appreciate everyone who has been holding me accountable.
I've put a ton of work into the game, a lot of work that you guys will never see because of how many times I've remade certain scenes. I used this fact to justify myself but things have gone on for way too long.
I'm just a young man trying to make the most fun game he can.
I've gone through a lot of changes in my life as of late and working on the game to distract myself or just to dump myself into has been a huge blessing but it's also been a curse.
While the update has no tie ins to my real life, I used working on the game to get away from real life for a bit. Things and feelings that are hard to say goodbye to.
On top of that I did a lot of new things and techniques for this update and I've second guessed myself every step of the way.
I have a responsibility to deliver something for you guys and I've routinely failed at doing so.
I may have gone through a lot and my life may have gone through many changes but none of it excuses me taking this long.
And just working on the game isn't enough. The work doesn't mean anything if it never gets seen.
I have to do better and I'm very sorry that it's taken me this long to see past myself.
My mental is pretty fucked. Being the bad guy isn't fun, I don't want to be this.
Having people I respect call me a scammer and milker, having people I've known for 3 years turn on me and ridicule me. Reading many comments everyday about how horrible of a person I am.
I'm scared of this update. I'm scared I took this much time to make something that isn't very good and that's the scariest fucking thing.
I've dealt with imposter syndrome for the entirety of making WVM and I've never felt it to this degree.
Trying to deliver something good quickly has really fucked me.
It sucks having so many people yell at you when you feel like you're trying to do the right thing but also agreeing with the criticism.
My brain has been pulling me in 80 different ways for a long fucking time and I feel pretty out of it from it.
I fully understand why everyone is so frustrated. It's one thing for me to need as much time as I have, but it's another when I constantly give expectations of a release soon only to then go behind on that.
It's reached a point where I have to just shut my brain off and let it be whatever it's going to be.
No more hiding, you guys deserve better.
I'm pretty ashamed of my recent past but there's no changing it now. I can only control the future and we have a plan.
I appreciate everyone who has stuck with me and I apologize for everyone I've lost. I never meant to deceive or trick anyone. I've urged anyone that didn't believe in the process I've been on to unpledge and so far they would have made the right decision.
Things from this moment will be different.
I've been through a lot and I decided to hide behind everything I could fit behind and I'm sorry for doing so. I'm too old for that now. Things have to and will change. I will grow and be better from all of this.
All I can do is ask for the opportunity to show that things can change. I'm only human.
I'll be around for our announcement post after the update and then Mackenzie will run the patreon and SS solo for a while as I focus on building momentum.
All I want to do is make a fun game, but I need to accept the responsibility I have.
Thank you for your time and I hope to see you around.

Finally he admitted he fucked up. Now I want to believe him and his apology and i'm leaning that way,
but his track record, and lets be honest is less than stellar and that's an understatement, but I guess
time will tell

"Its going to be different, we have a plan, release date wont move again" take 25
Saying the date will not move again, while mentioning possible further delays literally in the next sentence, seems really trustworthy.

that was like reading a psychiatrist's notes. feel bad as a person but trust is a fragile thing, hard to earn, easy to lose.
i think even come clean is not an option at this point. just do your job. release something which not your hobby interior design projects especially when people waited enough.
its a downward spiral: promises, excuses, mishaps, failure; false promises, deep in failure, negative reactions, flimsy excuses, another promise, outrage, ...
i juts can wish him luck and get his act together. he was one of wonder kid devs, that struggle is just sad or funny at this point.
edit: i was thinking, maybe too much communication is a bad thing, maybe dev giving us personal life updates couple of time in a month is a bad idea.

I am gonna be honest I haven't really paid much attention to this thread for a while, so I don't know how many promises he has broken or deadlines that he has missed but it's kind of sad to see a fanbase turn on a dev that for the most part had a really good reputation. For me this is still one of the best games on this forum. I just hope that he can't turn things around, start releasing good content like he used to.
Sadly this isn't new. Not sure if it was two years ago or so, but same thing was dropped...half mea culpa, half mental state issues from community ire. At this point there is a lot of recycling in the braindrops.
^Also seen several times before, did not end well.
The only thing that would matter is the update actually coming out on Feb. 23rd (of this year), in a sizeable chunk of story as promised (not a partial release).
my bet is he changes date and theres another delay.

Regardless, we will just have to see if Braindrop mans up and does delivers on his promise this time. So, the 23rd? It can be another tactic to keep his patreons for next month's paycheck. Since people have been dropping their pledges so it may be hitting his wallet.You must be registered to see the links

On the other hand. If this long speech is true. It's nice to see that he admits to screwing up. I am not going to believe him though. Actions speak louder than words.

I want to believe, but been burned the last 2 years running. I kept silent due to not wanting to say more than I've already said in thread.
So I'll say it once more. We need to see process. Trello, github, something to show tasks and task completion. Even something like MagicNuts from WaL does is fine!
BD, you're not a bad man, but you handled things badily. Show some progress after this update.

With the amount of time he has used on this update there should be at least 5000 render or he has not worked on the game at all.
