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

[EroPulse]

I truly don't understand why he has the supporters he does. It actually baffles me.

1. Announce update.
2. Fail to deliver, blame it on needing to tweak scenes and need a little more time.
3. Fail to deliver again and falsely own up to your "mistakes". Promise you'll do better and setup a plan for next month.
4. Repeat step 1.

That has literally been this guys MO for the last two years. How many releases have we received since he first announced 52 releases in 52 weeks?

I honestly think he wouldn't get half the shit he does if he'd stop fucking telling people dates, and failing to deliver. His update should be packaged and ready to upload when he announces when it's released.

At this point, I would say the notes should be WITH the update on cloud already. Half the time there would be an "upload issue" or "net problem".

My biggest problems, besides the obvious failing to keep his promises, is that he constantly backtracks. "I will deliver as is." "Nope, sorry, had to tweak even after I said I won't." "Sorry again, still tweaking." I would get being a perfectionist... but let's be real, even if the renders are generally good quality, the models are CONSTANTLY CHANGING. (And I'm not talking about Emiko and whoever changing full models. I mean the asses, boobas and lips beecoming larger and larger. Even Kim K is starting to get jealous.) That's a far cry from being a perfectionist in my book.

I think this changing of the bodies is the biggest issue affecting the progress of the "Season 1/First 9 days" redo. We thought he would add a few scenes here and there to help the story flow, but with all the changes to the bodies, he will have to re-render near enough everything so they match Season 2!

That, and his reasoning also made sense actually, that every day took like 40-60 hours, if it happened in reality. I know, porn game logic, but if someone wants to make it that way I'm down. But the problem with this is, that it's actually pretty much the same now again. It started off better after he announced it, but now it's back to the same "schedule" with 80 things happening in 1 day. It's just more frustrating as you don't know a lot of the characters that the MC is allegedly friends with from before.

So all in all, the whole "I will rework the 1st season" does more bad than good for the game. At least IMO this is the case.

Agreed. Playing this, I was getting frustrated when the MC, after getting back from Bailey/Rainn's place, he just HAS to try and check on SO MANY different girls instead of just GOING TO SLEEP as he knows he is off to Florida in a few hours. If he was that worried about everyone else, he coulda/woulda/shouda, just left Bailey's earlier once she and Rainn were talking! Instead he hangs out so he can Kiss/hug/fool around/kiss/hug with them all and Zoe... I had to stop playing once he started playing basketball, then started messing round with Skye... It was just becoming farcical the stuff he would do to not END the day.

 

[Gaunt27]

Someone should make a game similar to this but with proper incest content, maybe make the MC a musical prodigy or something instead to differentiate from this. A guy can hope.

 

[GeppettoPossum]

The girls are going to look like this by the time the game's done.

Or even by the time they return from Florida!

Yeah, this game will never be done.

When did he announce the rework? 2-3 years ago?

And side content is still super important to him for some reason but keeps being pushed back, i guess as an excuse to not have to work on the actual game.
You know working on the 150 renders he produces a month and ships out calling it a beta and promising it will be bigger next time.

The DITLO was such a success, am i right guys? guys???

Braindrop managed to create an army of white knights around him, no matter what Braindrop does, he will get the money from the white knights, GTA VI and The Elder Scrolls VI will be released and Braindrop will still be working on the rework of the first season and on the crappy Florida trip.

Because the supporters do not care about the stupid shit that idiots on this site spend their lives pining about. Nobody is asking about incest, when the next update is coming, or why the next update is delayed. And unfortunately, nobody is complaining about the big-eyed, duck-lipped, giraffe tongue-kissing, ass-widening that is occurring to all of the women.

BD delivers. Every update is great. People get what they want. And for the most part, everyone in Discord and on Patreon understands that things happen. While his record was decidedly inconsistent and underwhelming over the previous two years, it has been very productive over the last 8 months.

 

[Nurikabe]

Many people on this thread commented on how this yacht trip should be an important moment. There was a lot of buildup leading to this trip. And it became apparent that his planned and completed work on the yacht scenes was not going to be what it should be. He could've released it and fixed it in "rework" like so many devs do, but then the scenes would be spoiled.

This arc should be important. Something significant should come from all this development. Too many times, I believe, BD has created plot points and interesting moments of drama without capitalizing on them. That is not to say that this will or will not happen here. But it is an opportunity to add some flourishes. Hopefully, something exciting will occur on this trip.

I still say whatever problems there were with the original version having too much happening each day to be realistic were not worth taking 2 plus years (and counting) to try and fix. Maybe after the game was finished, then go back and do a "remaster" or whatever to keep the money coming in. Just my opinion.

 

[BlueBasil]

So I know the privilege squad are going to shout me down for questioning their righteous furry; but here goes.
I feel like the anger is because people expect this VN to be delivered like clockwork and it never is. The problem isn't really that you aren't getting what you want when you want it, but rather, the problem is that you expect something that isn't going to happen.
WVM will never have a regular update schedule. Screaming into an echo chamber about that will not fix that: Nothing will fix that.
WVM will never have incest. Screaming into an echo chamber about that will not fix that: Nothing will fix that.

Yeah, I wasn't one to complain about the days. Sure, every day was like an episode of 24 and it would take a superhuman cock to do all the things. Not so sure it was important enough to go back and make changes. Although, I think it is mostly coding with a couple of changes to images.

That clockwork schedule is only expected because Braindrop introduced that schedule. Those type of expectations would be unfair if it came out of the blue. Either way, those were the guidelines he wanted to use for the year.

And that’s the point… these are his expectations too. Which is why he is so disappointed in every dev log when his own expectations aren’t met. Have you seen dev logs from other games? I’m not sure if it’s supposed to read like apology letters or transcripts from a therapy session.

Games like The Genesis Order or Grandma’s House also follow a similar clockwork schedule. But the thing is, they garnered a reputation of consistent releases and rarely delay release dates. Hell, on the NLT Media website there’s even a live countdown for the next update. Those games are confident in this type of clockwork schedule, mainly because the developers premade a chunk of content/renders to be sprinkled throughout the coming weeks, without the worry of feeling left behind.

As for the incest complaints… well that echo chamber is a whole ‘nother type of breed. (See what I did there)

Damn you’re right, I got sidetracked a little there. Let’s get back on topic: WHY CAN’T WE FUCK OUR MOM AND SISTER!?!?

really? thats such a shame

Have you ever herd the fable of "The Frog and the Scorpion"?
A scorpion promises not to sting a frog that is carrying it across a river and then stings the frog halfway across. Both the frog and the scorpion die. The scorpion dies because its a scorpion and stinging is just what it does. The frog dies because it knows the scorpion will sting it but carries it on it's back anyway and is there for not a verry smart frog.

If BD promises a regular schedule and doesn't deliver then BD is just being BD (leopard and spots situation). If you believe BD when BD promises a regular schedule you have no one to blame but your self for expecting BD to not be BD (can't ask one to change them situation).

Your point about other games garnering reputations is, in essence, my point exactly. WVM has a well earned reputation. You clearly know this reputation. Why are you surprised to find BD lives up to that reputation?

That said I see what you did there inbreed uhm... indeed I mean.

Time for one of the more obscure characters-Bea.
