I was just saying that if animations were introduced to GH than the dev time between updates would likely be longer than what people have been used to.

Trust me, I'm no fan of BD. You can check my post history for that. I was just saying that I believed the reason for the short turn over for updates from MB is likely because there are only a few scenes in each update and no animations. It really isn't about BD and this shit show.

I get what you're saying , but it's a "non point" honestly. There would be slower updates with animations, but still more frequently and and more reliably , and we both agree on that

This is how BD was early on, when he did monthly/bi-weekly releases. But BD, unlike MB, didn't want to make a porn game. So everything eventually unraveled when he tried to take what was basically a porn game and make it make sense. Now these past couple years he's been stuck trying to do just that. Reworking things, his perfectionism etc. He, badly, wants/wanted this to be more than just another 50 LI harem game. But he's in too deep to make that work.

I'd have to trust you guys on that one, because i was not there in the early days... but he could have fooled me. If he really wanted to switch from a basic porn harem and elevate the game, the first thing he could have done and did not, would be to fix the pacing, dialogue and flow of scenes. There isn't much to sublimate, in a non porno way, about girls praising MC like a religious figure, duck kissing and hugging him for 10 min straights in corridors and hallway, in between sex scenes lol.

I can't believe I'm even remotely "defending" BD in anyway... well, it's not in defense, but I just wanted to point out that Grandma's House doesn't contain animations. Which, if the animations are done by hand that would increase dev time by a good margin. Even if they're imported through DAZ it would increase the dev time. If GH had animations, the turn around for updates would be a little longer.

The only positive thing I'll ever say about BD is on average, his quality of renders and animations in later episodes are pretty good, in comparison to other AVN's I've seen.

Ultimately, it's whatever works for the dev and their fans.

I disagree, Moon Box has set his work schedule and keep it to the minute, he works on both writing the plot, and creating the scenes base...He probably has been ahead of schedule in terms of plot ...He release a new update every 15 days without failing,he is honest with his patreons...BD on the other hand makes promises and sets dates for the next update but he has not began working on the update.....Just because he may have better quality that means nothing

There's not really anything to disagree with, animations take longer and that's a fact. Moonbox is a great developer but the time between his updates would absolutely be significantly longer if he added animations to every update (he's said as much himself). That being said, Braindrop has no excuse to take this long but there's absolutely zero way he could ever match the pace Moonbox goes at. Plenty of reasons to hate on Braindrop but it would be extremely unfair to expect him to release anywhere close to the speed that Moonbox does.

Well my main point is that BD does not spend the necessary hours of each day he works on developing his updates, and that is something we can see because he alone sets dates for the update's release and he misses again and again...At BD's early game stage he used to update twice a month if i remember it correct but still he use to cut a big update in smaller parts....My opinion is that he has lost the will to continue it but can't face that fact....

I have not seen a single person ever say BD should match MB's speed (aside from you)..... MB has always been a point made in terms of setting, and keeping a schedule. That's it, full stop. I am not aware of anyone that has said BD has to release 52/52, once a month, or anything else. If the releases were sized properly for the time taken between releases, I imagine most people would be fine with twice a year. It isn't about speed for BD compared to MB, it's consistency.

The problem is, he's set his own deadlines, misses them, promises more, then misses those too.

I know for a fact when I come here on the 13th, and 27th of each month.... MB has new content out for his game, without fail.
I could walk away from this thread for 6 months, and it's 50/50 on if BD has dropped, or even said anything in the past 6 months.

THAT is the difference. It doesn't matter if there is animations, music, voice acting, or anything else. It's about setting a realistic, workable schedule, and sticking to it consistently.

Well the problem is both "he's set his own deadlines, misses them, promises more, then misses those too." and that he keeps giving dates instead of make a managable work plan for each day , of the week he works in each update, for example he could work every week day 5 hours a day but 5 hours from Monday to Friday each week , if he would do that he would have time to handle personal stuff and make a significal progress...But he doesn't have a work schedule at least i don't see how he could have one and keep state his own release date for each update and missed it again and again....

To cut this short, there is no point comparing him to other devs, that are delivering successful ongoing or complete games. Nor even the quality of the renders among those titles. Nor even the quantity of LIs and sex scenes. Especially, if they remained consistent and in lines with their promises and goals. His current work ethics are only comparable to those of scammers, or people that abandon their games, or that lack the skills and/or drive to accomplish their goals.

Lets just say that (thankfully) there are not many Dev´s like braindrop, there are a few, but not that many.
braindrop set the bar at what a Dev should NOT be, as "If you want to be a great Dev, dont be like braindrop".
Actually now that I think about it "braindrop" fits him like a glove, as "I dont remember where I dropped my brain and now its lost" (good luck finding it) probably is in the same hole as the updates...
