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

[Bob Stork]

I get its a petty point that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't had to play through again to remember who, and what had happened, but after taking so long to get this far it's actually funny, in a depressing way, BD can't remember the name of the team that is being set up as the main rivals. The first time we see Jax on tv, (After the pool party with Natalie in the cinema room.) he's introduced as "Jax from The Briars!", spin on to game day and suddenly everyone refers to them as "The Thorns!". Now I would understand if one was an insult from opposition/rivals, but they're announced at the stadium as such so unless the full name of the team is the Briar Thorns it just makes no sense.
I've kept an eye on this game since the early days and used to really like it, and was stoked to finally get another update, but after taking so long to get everything right to then forget the name of the team you're using as the sporting villain is just depressingly poor and added to all the broken promises etc of the past 2 years has really dulled my interest.
I have other gripes with the game/development all round but I get its the creators right to do things his way so just ignored/powered through same as I would for any film/tv show I enjoy, (Marvel and Star Wars being 2 of the main culprits and 2 of the biggest franchises around, before anyone thinks I'm pretending it's only an issue in smaller or indy productions,) but it's like starting Endgame and suddenly everyone is trying to undo "Andy's snap".
I've been on f95 for 4 1/2 years and this is my first comment, like or interaction of any sort on the site despite playing a lot of great original and parody games I've found here, but I'm not someone that normally posts online with my opinions about anything, but given BD's constant statements about being a perfectionist and wanting to get everything right, it's something that's bugged me more than all the delays and excuses combined.
I'll probably forget this by the time the next update is released, and in general really enjoy the game so I'll download the next update when it comes along, and if it takes as long as this one did, get as irritated all over again when I have to do another recap play through and spot it again, but hey, what can you do when like something and want to see how it turns out when (If?) its finished.
On another note, why do I get the feeling that come the title deciding game, if we ever get there, that the MC is going to end up not only facing up against Jax, but Ryker will suddenly appear out of the blue as a ringer for the Thorns, (Briars, maybe Roses by then?) in an attempt to put him off and he'll run rings round both to score the decisive points and win the title and guarantee his dream of #1 draft pick?
Can't wait to see the Suns/Pentagrams () win it all on my 100th birthday!

Stil missing tags are incest here why ? becuase Mc fucked almost everyone his stepmother begs for it but dev doesnt know yet

 

[chriszue]

dev: I know you fellow mutherfuckers are looking for for Azel's isct content, but hey, NO. I am not gonna grant that wish and please suck my D

 

[XenTheAnimator]

I demand more women. At least 17 new ones each update. Keep it light, meeting and fucking them within 3 renders - 4 tops.

 

[Harsh 007]

Th only thing right now i hope dev would give mc is some killr michael jordan skills to destroy the opposing team i relly don't want to see our mc loose the first game ( or any pro games he play ) after missing the first shot on court...also i hope mc plays in the game even though right now he is not.....

 

[Lolas Razor]

is there anything from BD on what he was thinking giving renders with black boxes on MCs neck? i just cant imagine how anyone can do that render and think:"YEP, THATS GOOD!" fucking ridicoulus is what it is.
...also when did this turn into a 3rd person perspective?

 

[snakeplisskin]

I really liked the update and other than the fact that BD needs to mantain this momentum I am pretty happy.

However i do have a couple of issues,

1) not kissing Harper was bullshit thats twice now we have had that fake out.

2) i am all for slow burn but when the same 6 or so girls keep getting sex scenes we need a few faster pace girls to change it up. ( Aubrey helped a lot there and i am super glad to have her this early)

3) as others have pointed out Jax cannot be taken seriously as a villian.

Well at least there was some hot scenes this update. I'll be honest, fellow degenerates, I can't take this game seriously one bit. I get that MC is a gigachad famous college athlete, but this dude is the ubermensch of anime harem protagonists. He's Plato's philosopher king on Mary Sue steroids. I won't be surprised if in the final update (out by 2045) he has sex with female God and she gives birth to him so that she may send him back in time to his mother's womb. Every other male is either gay, VERY devoted to their wife, or a literal Nazi demon from super hell for the player to hate. Maybe I'm being a little too critical, but damn the writing can be so cringe. I at least expect MC to be declared a literal god for his 80 woman harem to worship by the end of this. At least many other games drop the seriousness and recognize that they're what they are: wish fulfillment fantasies with a cast of babes to pipe. WVM just takes itself way too goddamn seriously.

I keep coming back for the high quality renders and really sexy models, which this game is honestly in my top five for, but man, does my TAB key take a beating when I play this game. At least the dev said the next update will be out shortly, so I'll see all of you in 5 months instead of 6 this next time.

Also, is MC gay now for kissing a trans man?

This so much.


I honestly can't believe Braindrop has a wife, or even met a woman before if this is how he writes them. None of them have characteristics or even goals beyond pleasing their 'boyfriend'. And the number of women attached to him is staggering. There's only so many hours in a day, how could they possibly be satisfied with so little companionship? It would be different if they were written to be brainwashed, or pointed out that what he has going is unsustainable, or at least had some negative emotions in there. But they all act like 1. They are in the PERFECT college relationship with the PERFECT college boyfriend and 2. there aren't literally so many other women that I doubt they could all sleep comfortably. Seriously, are some of these chicks sleeping on the floor? How much food do they have to cook every day just to feed that army of sister-wives? There's a reason harems were for sultans and wealthier types, its because at a certain point, its just a burden.

There is no story here, which is fine, I mean its a porno. But the game PRETENDS like there is a story, which is not good. Is there conflict? Character arcs? Flaws? What is the obstacle the MC must overcome? Its not sexual, girls fall in love at the very sight of him. It's not basketball, despite all the straight guys being written as tools (for committing the sin of being a potential sexual rival), its been made clear he can just straight up win games completely on his own. It might be the family drama, but again, all of his family members are women....so they just run straight back into his life and inappropriately cuddle him and act as if they are incredibly close and have been for YEARS.

Bros Jamie's face is legit starting to scare me.



Also on the topic of these two I feel like Braindrop wants to make a route where they mess around with each other independent of MC but is too scared to commit to it because that would be too much extra work given he would have to write completely different interactions based around whether Shauna has a dick or not.

i love the update but im in agreement the stupidity of the black box makes the whole update a joke.. give the mc a dam face instead of this retro VN crap.. if the readers dont like the mc choice.. so be it, it wouldnt be the first time but dont diminish the quality of your work with stuff like this..
Not to mention the better scenes can be when you have a physical mc presence in them with the LI.. the goldfish face kisses are done with and look crap.. if your spending SO much time getting the things like uniforms and the arena perfect but settle for a black box blackout head then its ridiculous

He can use agent 47.

 

[SidL05]

Hey, Does anyone know tentative release dates for 2nd and 3rd chunks.

I hate that this is accurate and that i laughed

 

[Davetiger]

I really thought when he said "you really spent a lot of time thinking about me" it was going the right direction like I didn't give you a second thought chad, and Jax try to correct the name and the mc just say whatever instead he just had to be a hot head and yet with his girls and his team mates he's so calm cool and collected... outside of that tidbit I loved the update

This game was always ridiculous, but they are making some odd choices now. The over-promising and under-delivering is a problem as well, always better to do the opposite for your customers and fans!

A dumb black box over his face, which deserves the meme's others and myself have done. They should have kept it first person, then there would be no need. Not to mention the black box is way too large. I find it an odd choice, as it brings nothing positive and is getting rightfully bashed.

The renders in this game can be very good, the MC is alright, I like a lot of the women. The duck faces were always an issue, and some of the women are annoying and do nothing for me.

I like the amount of women you can get with, plausible or not. This gives you not only the chance to be with multiple women and have a lot of variety, but also breaks the boredom. With a small cast of 2-5 women he would be tapping, this game would literally go from hot to repetitious, so it needs a large cast to keep it "fresh", even if the same formula is used time and time again.

It delivers on a lot of fronts, but there has been some odd choices made. This makes you wonder, are they rushing to try to meet deadlines, had to get different artists, or just sitting back and raking in the cash while delivering half-baked updates? There could be something else, it could be a combination of all of the above. But people want this game catered to them, while that would be nice, you cannot do that because what works for others might not work for some others.

This problem could have been alleviated 100% by leaving everything choice based.

Black box: Put a shadow on a face or obscure the MC with objects and other characters. Problem solved, instead of a black box that is huge and takes up the entire scene.

When Shauna said she doesn't take good pictures I really thought it would be funny if her thumb was over his face.. Though with cellphone shots that's a bit hard to screw up but was easy to do when cameras were just cameras

Good idea as well, with cameras you could even obscure shots with the camera strap or fingers too close to the lens. With phones, it is harder, but still possible. Or just make his face blurry, everyone else in focus.

Something better....anything better than what is presently there. This game was better in first person anyhow and should have stayed that way, only third person in photos.
