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

[WaerM]

Well if this Mackenzie would be a real person (and not BD), and BD REALLY DID suffer from anxiety about the new Release....
Then she i doing the exact opposite to what he needs right now....
the only way I could get rid of my anxiety was to force myself to do the things that triggered it...
If you wait it will only get worse and you will never make it and that could be one reason for all the delays
So holding of and letting BD "cool Down" is just the opposite on what she should do.... (my opinion)

And all that talk about the new update having a different Vibe and that scares BD in thinking how the Patreons will like that....
Then why the F would he do that in the first place ?

I love how "Mackenzie" sticks to this "Braindrop is not in the right headspace" excuse. None of us are fooled, so I don't get why they bother. We all know that Braindrop is going to keep pushing this further and further back because all he is concerned about is milking his Patreon subscribers for everything they're worth. Sure, he paused subscriptions for a month but that really means nothing considering how many months he hasn't paused subscriptions and how he'll probably just resume them in April and we'll still not get what we were promised.

I think we should petition the people who run this site to mark this game as abandoned regardless of their usual policy. I think anyone (except the Braindrop cult) can realize that this site brings Braindrop's game a lot of attention and that refusing to mark this as abandoned allows Braindrop to keep getting new fans who think the game will get further updates any time soon. This is one of the largest games on the site and the creator is abusing the size of his community to keep delaying updates in order to profit more and work less and the site's policy enables him to do so without any repercussions.

In conclusion, we're all clearly fed up with this and I think it's pretty unanimous that at this point none of us believe Braindrop is capable of doing anything right. Please make an exception in this case and mark the game as abandoned.

Can any of you lads imagine BD working a 9-5 job? If doing this alone is enough to basically cripple him, I don't want to think about what would happen if he had to face some actual problems in the real world (He'd probably be put on life support during his first day). And isn't it funny how his mental health started deteriorating after he passed a certain financial threshold?

"he is not gonna do anything stupid"oh FUCK ME
also, "tweaks" those tweaks better be the next best thing after sliced bread

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Oh Wow, Fuck this guys lmao. He is right back to hiding behind excuses, so all the bullshit he spewed a week or so ago about he not proud of himself and the way he has been hiding behind excuses and it was going to stop. He was going to do better. Its all just PR nonsense. For sympathy just like the part about him feeling unstable and not to worry he isnt going to do anything to himself.

Nothing this guy says can be believed. He thinks he going to be able to go to weekly releases when he cant even release an update of 200 renders in 2 to 6 month time frame. Right what a joke. I guess at least we will get the entertainment of his weekly excuses on delays. That is until he decided weekly updates are not go to work and he change to 1 update a year and it going to be a massive update of 5000 plus renders. Than he will give us a 200 render update that year promising that he got 5000+ one ready to go. It just needs a bit more tweaking.

That is what is frustrating about this. Braindrop is making so much money per month and has had all the time in the world to relax and do nothing so the update is far past due. I (as I'm sure many others here) also am constantly stressed and depressed but still have to get out there and pay the bills. The only difference is that I don't have the luxury of not working for an entire year while someone else throws thousands of dollars at my feet. Braindrop is just some entitled brat that's crying over nothing. I've lost loved ones, I've had friends kill themselves, I've had my fair share of anxiety and self pity, but at the end of the day I went to work and did what I had to because I know that shit happens and life goes on.

Braindrop needs to grow up.

Remember that Starbucks employee having a meltdown a couple months ago because "on weekends they schedule me the entire day, I'm on the schedule for eight and a half hours"? ... Something like that, I would imagine. "There's so many customers and we only have 4 people... but I'm sitting in the back crying into my phone right now, like an absolute tool, while my coworkers actually work".

I'm not sure if it's more sad than funny, or the other way around.

Aww Mackenzie dear lets go back a year when you were "hired", you precisely said that you wont be giving out hard deadlines as it causes anxiety to BD and now you are regurgitating the same old thing. You brought literally nothing to the table

and from what you said BD is anxious about release dates but he will proclaim that he will do a 52 releases in 52 weeks claim. and you spin it as it would be somehow positive?? if you cant provide a single update in 4 months without threatning self harm you really think 1 update a week will make the situation better???

"we havent earned anything" well excuse me, the last update you released was in october, now its 4 months after than. even if we consider the bare minimum he makes is 13000$ a month then it would be 52000$ in 4 months (bare minimum according to his projection and previous graphs) that's more than what most ppl make in a year. you cannot sit here and say you didn't earn anything. and what are you spending on?? assets? electricity?? that which ever dev has to spend while making fraction of the amount??

The human making this game is perfectly capable of hiring more humans. the ppl who are giving money are also humans, we are not robots printing money from thin air.

"He isnt asking for forgiveness" Asking for forgiveness is precisely what he should be doing. and how much longer ppl have to wait??

as for the pledges, its not about pausing or resuming. its about the lack of accountability thats the issue here. you cant always hide behind "mental health" or "IRL stuff" like family and send your huggers and bouncers to do the damage control, whiteknight or ban ppl for questioning you.

P.S: sorry for going on a rant here. this is the first time im like this on the forum, but this is just hard for me to see this game/ thread being mistreated and dragged around in the mud by BD and his ilk. This is the thread and community that made me become active on site and rise to the position im now and it sometimes physically hurts see all this BULLSHIT




P.P.S: so the update release is in Mac's hand but BD is still fixing the render?? so Mac can potentially release the update without the fixes but she wont and let BD update the fixes??? so whats the point of Mac having the update "in her hand"?? explain that logic... as i said before "the illusion of control"

I think that what "She" meant by that is that they know they haven't delivered/didn't EARN the money and that they're spending money that doesn't really belong to them.
Which in my eyes are a stupid as fuck thing to say as a PR person (even if everybody already knows it)

You might have something there now thinking about it all these excuses I have seen from other dev's but they have also delivered on their word unlike BD. I might have a go at a VN myself then delay it saying my goldfish has hemorrhoids and see if he picks that up and uses it as an excuse

ROFLMAO that even worse they know they are spending money that isnt thier/they didnt earn and are doing nothing but "protect him coz mental condition"

Yepp that's about my thought on the matter no one ever accused the alter ego of being smart ey ?

 

[preglovr12]

Seems like BD literally just cant even right now

 

[Trojaner]

And who is willed to protect US. We have Mental problems too or we wouldn't be here anymore hoping for some Real Stuff from BD.

Thea state that Anxiety isn't built the same every day of the week is kinda not correct not at least in my experience it's quite the opposite.
For me the anxiety worked exactly the same, I knew I had something to do and the closer I got to the time the more it would build up and I would feel sick, start having coldsweats and start to get dizzy...
And It was the same every single time

he is built different

 

[WaerM]

Wait I just remembered weren't you suppose to do something if the update wasn't released on time BaasB ?
You've been really quite there for a while now are you okay there fellar ?

 

[WaerM]

he is built different

I will not disagree on that statement

 

[OEJ]

im not even gonna rebuke it., at this point its just a broken fucking record. imma just post em here and let the ppl decide for themselves

 

[StantheMan69]

Okay I think there is one thing just about everyone can agree on. No one believes BD doesn't earn anything for patreon and it is all put back into the game. If you expect us to believe that maybe you need some help too.

As for the reality of the situation BD is trying to survive and make it through a very bad time for himself? Dude has been having the worst of time for like 3 years now. So are you saying that while others are going through bad times and are having to work an struggle to get through them. We should just allow BD to coast through his without working without being held accountable? Next how long are we suppose to let him coast. How long does he need Mac? One year? Two years? Five years? Ten Years, Twenty Year? How long is enough? When is BD going to be held accountable?

Your third point, A human makes this game. You are damn right! A human does make this game. A human that sound like he has all kind of issues that is preventing him from delivering updates on the dates and times he promised them. Than hides behind excuses like. I am not well mentally or Something bad happened to my family. Instead of pausing the game and getting the professional help. It sounds like he needs.

The only thing BD know is he is starting to annoy people and now he is getting pressured to get out updates. So he needs to figure out his need being sob story and excuse that will work and appease people. So he can keep getting money for doing and showing NOTHING!!!!!
