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

[Ptah]

from someone who has played the entirety of Acting Lessons, and understands the VN business enough to appreciate that BADIK is the largest-scale "porno VN" to ever exist, the build-up is for the grand finale

for anyone who HAS played Acting Lessons, there is a MASSIVE FUCKIN TWIST at the 2nd to last chapter, and the final chapter rips your fuckin heart out - - i am being dead serious ... idk if BADIK will have the same grand finale flair as Acting Lessons, but for DPC VNs, the goal is to have a unique slice of life until the end, where for good or bad (infamous for being bad) there is a massive twist

but i do agree, WVM has the potential to, at the least, be above-average for story telling (potential)

EDIT : this is not a spoiler to either game, but imagine building a perfect relationship with your LIs, and your best friend is there every step of the way to help you, and then at the end, your best friend chops all your LIs into pieces with a chain saw and you actually are forced to watch full CGI renders of your LIs being mutilated into past and you think "wtf, i'm in a porn game aren't I!?!" level of twists

kind of like Doki Doki Literature Club, actually

SUPER EDIT : context = DPC makes Acting Lessons & BADIK

I don't know wtf are you talking about guys, WVM, story wise, It's purely soap opera garbage level and the plot is CLEARLY made on the go. There's plenty of developers here, including Braindead, that their literary background comes from reading manga for retards and watching reality shows... While there's other devs, like for example Zetan, that know how to FUCKING build a plot, build characters with their psyche, and building worlds as a whole. AND have the narrative taste and capability to convey it all in a solid way.

the context here is for the original design of WVM, pre-"fuckeverythingthatmoves"

i assure you, NOBODY here (90%+) is advocating for this guy

No borpa, and no deadline on publishing the missing 100 Renders.
Typical bd...

of course thats typical BD

now he is in hiding since the fiasco he again is at fault alone,hoping if he pokes his head out again after a few days that everything is forgotten.
then he comes again with a dumbass sob story how he paniced,how he feels, that everything has been dealt of,its getting better and...bla...bla...bla...

but don´t forget that it takes a few days/weeks to render these 100 "forgotten" images
because if he would have them it would be no problem to just bugfix it and bring it out ASAP

I don't understand how between BD, McKenzie and "Diodude", known of them caught the problem that lead to the missing renders... What do those "others" do again?...

they all are the same person.
Mackenzie and Dionyx or whatever are existing only in his head.
even his discord cultists don´t believe that they really exist,and they don´t really show up in discord either.
imagine 3 persons playtesting a update for a week or two and TRIPLECHECKING everything and still they missed the elephant in the room and don´t see that 100 renders are missing.

 

[_doodle_]

*releases an update* *fucks up 2/3 of scene and just skips it* HUH???????

i didn't quite lie, but he did make *1* post in the last 3 days since the chunk-drop

he has a new avatar (an actual duck?) and he posted a dog balancing a piece of butter on its head

...that's it, didn't even type words, just the dog picture

 

[Better Cock Spock]

You guys, I've got some bad news. It's tragic, really. I hope you're sitting down...

... Braindrop is gone.

At 1:59AM, BD was hard at work, busy with the finishing touches on a 3000 render update. Just as he was about to hit Enter and upload it, the clock struck 2, and the most remarkable thing happened: a large celestial object passed through at near right angles to the plane of the star system (probably a black hole), and at the same time, swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus. These events, in conjunction with the Dodgers winning the World Series, lead to a tear in the spacetime continuum that Braindrop fell into. He is currently stuck in the lost hour of November 3rd, 2024, and will not return until March 9th, 2025.

MacKenzie updated his Discord pfp

 

[robrize2169]

would have liked it if the scene with the spanish woman included her video taping her fun with the mc and then sending it to her now ex fiance along with the message..You have been replaced micro dick loser. and have her go off with mc to WVM and a new life as member of mc's harem and baby mamas..

i know i saw it myself in discord and since then nothing.
thats why i said after a few days he will talk again and will beginn with a sob-ass story.

you need to understand that when someone say this has good writing/story, it's not being compared to homer's odyssey but to other visual novels of the same genre. the bar for being above average when it comes to story-telling in visual novels is extremely low, that is why games who have at least a little bit of thought put into them often take off like crazy. we should also acknowledge the fact that the market for visual novels is relatively small and i would say it only became a thing recently. that is why people are so passionate about certain games, when you sift through all the garbage there isn't that much left, now also keep in mind like 50% of the remaining ones are abandoned. the vn "market" is rapidly declining and that is mainly because a large portion of devs is more keen on only collecting the patreon check instead of actually working on their game but that topic probably deserves a thread of it's own.

honestly, disappearing is the smartest thing he can do

however, if he comes back with nothing ... well ... all bets are off again

as i said if he had these missing renders it would be quite easy to "fix" that problem with the missing renders in that update.

but noooooo what does he do??
goes radiosilent as always.
he could solve that problem first and then goes silent but doing it THIS way only gives the impression that he has never had these 100 Renders ready and this shitshow is again only an act from him to distract from the reality.
my bet is for 5 or 6 days of silence because that is roughly the time he needs to make 100 renders
and then 1 or 2 weeks for playtesting and small touches and then..... another delay

ok let me ask you this ....who the fuck is zetan???,if he is so much underrated at least he have something good going on?i mean no disrecpect for the dev you are mentioning but ,if he is so good something bad he is doing bcs ,he is not in the converstaion for anything,...this not comparing devs....by your words you are comparing someone like kaufman\crane[the writter of friends]with someone like stephen king....is not fair at all....one os for the med audiences or massives,and the other one is for some ppl,.....you dont make a classic in the day....no for cars,no for movies,not for anything,....and of c is subjective....no matter who say the contrary.
but saying some dev is better than other bcs he do deep shit dont make the other dev bad,...99% of the cases, cult literature or whatever is call today have poor media and sales development unless is a classic,...bd is better ..no ofc no..but i dont know zetan...or what he is doing....but bd make money of it...scamming or lying and even shit and disrecpect others,...but in the end and ofc take it with"" ppl talking....alot...and in media there is something is worst than bad rewievs or bad adds is called no talk at all....

look for Desert Stalker then talk again.....
if you do not know who Zetan the Dev of Desert Stalker is you should look before writing.
Zetan´s Desert Stalker is simply Dope
honestly you cannot Compare Desert Stalker with WVM because Desert Stalker is way out of the League for WVM story and Renderwise,but that was only an example because there are far more games with that quality.

First time I have ever heard someone who doesn't know Zetan or Desert Stalker on this website honestly. This is quite a shocking revelation.
