VN Ren'Py WVM [S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 13 B6] [Braindrop]

[snakeplisskin]

New content is out for this month. Another portion was supposed to be released last month but Mr Braindrop likely involved himself in another uphill battle against dear life.
Most importantly adjust your pledge accordingly because you never know.

Not sure.what happened behind the scenes but he released an update beginning of July around the 3rd with another update supposed to follow it pretty quickly.

But it had been complete silence since the updste. He really shot himself in the foot promising to have steady updates through june and July finishing up all he had ready by August.

How many months, years or decades of radio silence and maybe even an abandoned tag on top, do you think it would take for the 5$ and above patrons to "adjust their pledges accordingly"?

I bet allot of people are asleep at the wheel with their finances.

Does Patron take out self employment taxes? Do they send out 1099s every year.
This would be a good gig except for self employment taxes. And then the state always wants their hunk of flesh.
Maybe it's not that way where you live.

No, Patreon doesn't withold any taxes for creators (they only add on sales tax or VAT to pledgers directly).

(various articles on this topic specifically, both for US and European creators)

If you're in the US, you will receive a 1099-K form if you're within the earnings threshold for your state (

).

Income tax rules and regulations vary from territory to territory (even from state to state in the US), so as a creator, you'll still have to report tax information to your local agency, if necessary (to avoid any issues with a possible tax audit at some point). The article list I linked above contains some information, but if you're outside the US or EU, you might have to check with your country's tax collection entity.

Tax laws? Can we go back to incest?

Tax laws? Can we go back to incest?

Hey, there's NOTHING sexier than tax laws.

Just finished latest version of the game, I liked the Characters visuals overall)
I think it was mistake to read all dialogs though... and I'll be seeing Jamie kisses in my nightmares from now on...

My theory is BD had a second person working with him on the game.

That person is gone now and he can't do much alone and alk these excuses are just to buy time until he finds someone else.

Roll with me here, it's just a theory. BD has always released an insane amount of content, way more then most one man teams can do. The art was always kinda bipolar, you'd have different styles of renders in the same update.

The main thing is the writing. The past few updates were written very differently compared to the last two years, like they were written by a different person.

So even if BD comes back, I doubt the game will be what it used to be.

Though I don't think he will come back. If he was planning on it, he would have made a Patreon post about it and his worshippers would have gobbled it up, just like his cock.

My theory is that BD actually got kidnapped by Aliens last year they cloned him and replaced him that's why the writing in season 2 took a nosedive. The clone barely know Daz & Renpy and he got to relearn everything from scratch. That or he just doesn't give a fuck since he's getting paid doing nothing.

He doesn't give a fuck what so ever. The only way that it will matter to him is when he starts to lose money.

Seeing as how he somehow keeps gaining new supporters, I don’t see that ever happening.

His BS will eventually catch up with him and bite him in the ass it's just a matter of time. The longer the con goes on the more people will come around to the same conclusion that he's just another scam artist just like ICSTOR. In order for him to get bake in his fans good graces he's got to stop the bullshit a put out the updates that his sorry ass promised last Dec, and Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr and so on. Until that happens he's just a lying thief that hasn't gotten caught yet.

For him to release the next update, the patrons have to adjust their pledges accordingly first.

Hey guys.

I took a bit of a sudden break from all of my socials. I had announced I was doing so on discord but I said I would be doing so after the next chunk of update was out.

I've been struggling with a lot of things and I'm far from perfect.
I was feeling very out of touch with the game. Things turned from making a game I enjoyed into battling myself everyday.
This year has brought about a lot of changes in my life. Some good, some bad. And I've been trying to figure it all out.
Doing that on its own is tough but adding on the situation with the game and people talking about you like you're some kind of comic book villain when in reality you're just trying to get through it however you can... it's been weird.

I hit an all time low mentally after the recent chunk. I'm doing better now but it was rough for a bit.
I had originally planned to only take a few days off of things but then I got sick and I also went on new ADHD medication... and this stuff isn't exactly fun to talk about so I guess I wasn't in a rush... but here we are. Sorry if I made anyone concerned about me.

I still love making WVM.
Taking a break from socials has really showed me how much of my jadedness was with everything except making the game.
For my own mental sake as well as the game. I plan on taking a long break from being a public anything.
I will not be reading the comments on this post or anything game related for a while.
I will be hiring someone to manage my Patreon / SubscribeStar for me.
So you won't be left in the dark. There will still be mind drops but they will probably be bi-weekly instead of weekly.
I will share information with whoever will be running it and they'll write and maintain the posts for me.

I just want to make the game. This all started as a hobby that I just decided to share with others and that's how I plan on continuing on.
I'll still be around on discord, though I'll likely steer clear of any game discussion channels. I'll have the person that runs socials to report game bugs or other issues to me.
You'll see me complain / celebrate about the Steelers season in #sports mainly.

As far as release dates and updates go, I do not plan on ever saying anything about them again.
Talking about them only fucks me up. You'll know about them whenever they are released.
I'll probably say something on discord when it's uploading but that's all I plan on.
The last thing I'll say is that I added an extra path to an option in this next chunk and that's why it isn't out yet but it will be soon.
And that's that.

This was basically just a post to let you guys know that I'm still here. I took a break from socials but I've been working the whole time.
And I always feel it's necessary to say that I completely understand all of the frustration. If I was on the other side of the screen I'd be upset too.
Nothing I've done has been malicious. I'm genuinely just trying to make it through this rough patch and into normalcy.
If you believe that, cool. Thank you for understanding.
If not, no hard feelings. Please remove your pledge and do something pleasant with it. Took much negativity going around and you don't owe me anything and I personally don't want your money if you are upset with things.
Nothings final. You can remove and come back when the wheels are spinning again.
All former patrons will still receive all updates from Days 32-38. You just have to be in the discord to get the link.

Thanks for listening and I'll talk to you... later.
Love you guys.

ItS JuSt A hObBy1!1!

 

[Banish]

It's crazy how those devs (talking in general, there is plenty of example out there) always hit a rough patch when money starts pouring. One thing i love also is that everytime those guys start saying "i am not giving out release date anymore"...yeah of course you won't lol. You're probably working on it 2 days by now

 

[JustPeekin]

Holy shit... This fucking guy with his excuses... It never ends... He loved making this game before the money came in. Now he just loves spending that money and making excuses.

 

[Battle Brother Mac]

Another self-pity post and he really love the word "Chunk" hahaha

 

[Steinchen]

wow i am at a loss of words now.....
and what a surprise... again a awfull long posting with more or less again the same excuses.same contents just other words written down...

he changes his plans for the game as often as someone changes his underwear lately...

just un..fucking...believable.....

and of course it is near payday...what a surprise now.....
and sure as hell no mentioning about the thousands of renders that should be finished by now,because he has been working so hard on the game all the time and almost never stopped working on it.........
