To be fair, good on BD and Mackenzie for keeping to their schedules - its impressive given the track record from this dev. The next update sounds like a doozy.
I do think its weird that the Mind Brop's aim is to lower expectations around the basketball game. I don't think anyone is expecting a 2k game lol. I think at best we're expecting static renders, maybe a few animations, similar to the basketball practice sessions that took place previously. As far as we know, the MC is on the bench for the first basketball game (although I'm sure he'll have to step up last minute, he is literally the quintisential megachad main character after all), so it seems obvious there isn't going to be a game-like element to the basketball game like NBA 2k22 or something. Just some renders and a fruity little plot is what we're expecting.
Honestly, I was expecting more of a Blue Mountain State way of handling Basket Ball games, where we get to see the practice, but the games are always glanced over or skipped, even the major ones and we find out afterwards what happened.

Yeah I would assume this too. I'm expecting a tense/interesting half-time locker room chat. Maybe some interesting elements involving fouls/red-cards (do they give red-cards in basketball?). Cheer leader action. Maybe some mascot schenanigans. Post-game celebration/miseration. The actual game itself is probably going to be a slide-show and thats totally fine, its Renpy after all.
I just hope that the Dev doesn't have the MC have sex with Skye. Skye is supposed to be a transgender person. A female who identifies as a male. As that, he doesn't go for men. I have never seen a transgender person who has feeling for people of the same sex as they identify as. So, if the Dev has them have sex, then it balks in the face of true transgender people.
Skye has literally said even though they identify as male they like who they like and don't see it that way lol, BD isn't going to force the MC on them.
MC is supposed to game the babes that come share his adventure.
Skye tells MC the big spoiler in the locker room everybody is gay, she tells MC
Suggesting Sky is a nobody to you, well, she has a voice and is already part of the team,
MC is not and should not be this abrasive ass to her just so you get your way.
Us getting nothing in the way of scenes with her should be her choice also.
So far, Sky is happy to have scenes with MC, enjoy and game oN
The girls in this game and the boys even did come to MC and did interact with him on their own minds
and with their own agendas.
Quit shoving characters off by projecting your ideas into their heads.
There is a story and a path for Sky and being in the game means MC
will have his time with her, otherwise creeping up on her and being a stalker is not the premise neither the scope or the intrigue of this game.

That's exactly what I was trying to get at. Save for the fact that you continue to refer to Skye as her instead of him, as he identifies as a male, I agree with you. That's why I don't think the MC should be going after him. So far, he hasn't. And I hope he doesn't, as, like I said, I personally have never seen a transgender person who was with a member of the gender they identify with. But I will add that is unless the person they are with is also a transgender. A former coworker was a bio-woman who identified as a guy. He was with a bio-guy who identifies as a female. They both have planed to get reassignment surgeries.
There's tons to talk about in this Mind Drop. So much so that this is still not what our normal Mind Drops will look like.
There's just too much important stuff to talk about to really dive into some of the extra stuff we eventually want to get into since we don't want this info to be overlooked.
Update news:
Let's start things off straight away by giving you an update on how Braindrop is feeling.
He's still recovering from his recent illness but he's feeling much better and is mostly back to feeling like himself.
We did make the call to delay this most recent release by 6 days due to said illness.
We were feeling very down about having to delay but we were completely on time for the new date despite some setbacks so all things considered we're feeling good about how everything ended up.
We do not currently have a date to share for the next update as there are a few things Braindrop is still working on for it.
We are hopeful to have it finished by the end of October but both of our schedules are a bit volatile this month so we're not set on locking this in yet.
Well, it would be helpful if Mackenzie announce when those Tiers are going to be effect. Understand the cost of living and inflation been going on sometime need to make the adjustment and changes to the tiers for the supporters. I would assumed the Tiers changes effects in beginning of 2023 (I could be incorrect). Also have to keep in mind the supporters, some supporter continue to support WVM project with current tier, others may change their Tier level. Other case some may stop the support. It the tiers changes (assumed it) will be apply beginning of 2023, that can give the supporter times to evaluate how BD performance on WVM between now until the time of the Tier levels changes effects.
Since there no information on when platform the Tier level packages changes, will that apply to both Pateron and SubscribeStar?
No, I am not a member of either Pateron or SubscribeStar. I was reading the Mind Drop and there are some minor questions in my mind that I just wanted to point out.
However, I can say that there been some improvement of the releases in last two months.
If your base game is "WVM S2-ch1-ep-2", then download the UPDATE only and move the contents to the WVM "game" folder. inside the base game.
If the update only contains a "game" folder already, move this to the "WVM S2-ch1-ep-2" folder and it will merge with the "game" folder already there. Overwrite files if asked.
I downloaded the update only and extracted it to ep2/game folder. When I load any of my saves, it starts like 20 renders before instead of the exact save point. I noticed this happened in another game as well, but that was i downloaded the full release. How do I fix this?
Ya know. We haven't heard much about the MC's dad. With that said, I have a feeling that this Dahlia woman is going to be either the MC's aunt or grandmother from his dad's side.
