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

[Salgijash]

This guy is either the liar we know or he's really a complete idiot, I personally think it's the former.

But it's a "believable" excuse, fixing that problem with the packaging could take him 4 or 5 days, even more... The thing is: I DON'T BELIEVE A BIT OF HIM THAT THAT HAPPENED, you need to be retarded for that to actually happen to you.

Nah mate, since he's out of his own regular BS, he started using ChatGPT to write an excuse for him.

Was the developer always like this? When did this whole fiasco even start?

I only just realized why people are so upset with him after comparing the amount of content he’s putting out in compare to games like being a dik and eternum. (Or are those devs just are the exception? Trying not to be unfair here.)

I usually wait until these games have enough content before playing, so I tend to put them on hiatus for a year or two. But looking at the portions from the past year is quite telling...

the turning point was when the 10 days > 32 days change occurred. everything since then has kept getting worst.

There are levels to this.

BaD just dropped an update with 7000+ renders and animations, with heavy pathing/minigames available and it took ~14 months.
WVM has had multiple staggered releases over the same time period, totalling close to a third of the render count, with a single path with opt-in extra girls.

Not mentioning the disjointed story because we are pushing forward as if the "rework" promised over 2 years ago has happened and the constant broken promises.

DPC has earned the trust of his fans and seems to put in a lot of work, BD had the trust of many and squandered it with what can only be explained by laziness or incompetence.

No wanting to shit on the game, but do people that followed the game since the beginning still likes it?
Honestly, each update introduces more and more girls which I don't give a fuck about, and then do a lore dump that I don't even want to read (Don't want no anymore mafia bullshit or whatever).
I liked the game when it was just some harem slice-of-life games with some likeable schoolmate characters and such, and one of the things I was looking forward the most was finally seeing Shauna stop being so self conscious, but more than 5 years later and she's still very shy about her body.
Ever since this travel (which I don't even remember the reason) I've been just skimming through it, hoping we will get back to how it was before.

I really enjoyed a solid amount of the story, relationships, and the general variety of the "main girls." My problem was/is that it just kept going and going. It had reached a level that, in my mind, was plenty. Eventually it went from "I wish we could spend more time with the girls I like already. Lets get this pregnancy and basketball train rolling" to "I need a cheat sheet to even remember the names of the 7 girls on the screen right now." I guess maybe with these kinds of huge harem games some folks would prefer quantity over quality? Not me personally.

When BD had to start using names like 4t and taking names from a paint colour sample stick, he should have known he had too many throw away girls. Especially when they started getting more screentime than some of the supposed main LI.

Dev Report #45 (March 7th, 2025)
New
19 minutes ago
Hey guys, first off I want to apologize for not having the rest of E13 up yet.
I set the date of March 3rd based on the remaining render work at the time and under the assumption that I would be unpausing at midnight on the 1st which I then decided after posting that I would not unpause until later which avalanched into some problems that I've had to deal with over this week.

I'm not trying to use that as an excuse, obviously none of that is anyone's fault but my own. The rest of E13 should have been up a long time ago and then none of this would have been an issue.

I also shouldn't have set a release date until everything was ready and uploaded, it's a lesson I've learned and forgotten many times. Due to me needing to unpause pledges I felt it was only right to do so with a release date attached.
I was feeling really good and honestly thought the date was a lock until I had to take my time away to handle issues in life. I set another date for the next day and did everything I could to hit it and I wasn't able to package the update until about 3am that night.
It took me a long time to fall asleep after and I ended up sleeping in late, I woke up ready to upload but I realized I made one of the dumbest mistakes at the worst time.

I use two different Ren'py versions, one is for the PC/Mac builds and the other is for Android. I had also just re-organized all of my files. Well in my half asleep attempt to get things packaging before I slept I accidentally packaged both sides on the wrong versions. I'm not sure if downgrading Ren'py versions would break PC/Mac saves but I know upgrading versions definitely breaks Android saves.
Not only that but I had left in my "testing" file that includes all of the uncompressed renders and animations for all of E13, including old iterations of scenes.
To add the cherry on top, right after realizing my mistake I got a call telling me I had even more issues to deal with in life.

After dealing with issues and having new ones, missing release dates, feeling like a dumbass.
My mental was in the gutter again and I kinda shut down. I've been trying to fight it but these last few days have been rough. I kept trying to get it out but it felt like I was in the same spot I was in before except now I didn't have a real "reason" to be there.
I instantly hated everything I made again and I kept almost making changes but I stopped myself, though I did add some things. Mostly a few animations to the flight home scene.

With all that being said, I'm waking up from the fog I was in for a minute.
I know where this road leads, I can't let myself self-destruct again and let a miss turn into 30 misses. I'm not getting trapped in this shit again, I'm not letting a bad week turn into a bad month again.
For everyone's sake, I'm not setting another hard date but an estimated release of sometime this weekend. There is no reason it shouldn't be up this weekend. I'm going to dip away from the internet while I finish the additions so I don't get in my head again so I'll likely just be posting the update when it's ready like I did last time.

I also included the numbers for what will be in the first release of E14, that's what this dev report was supposed to focus on but I don't want to talk too much about it while you guys are still waiting for the rest of E13.
All I'll say is the first release will include 2 scenes (Sneaking in, and Family Reunion.)
We'll talk about the rest next week.

Thank you guys for everything, I'm sorry for the shit week after saying I wouldn't end up here again. I'm not staying here, I just let myself get overwhelmed and I tried to handle too many things at once. Just bad shit at the worst time but that's life and I have to respond better.
I also start therapy again this upcoming week so hopefully that will help me keep in line.
I'll talk to you guys soon.

"There is no reason it shouldn't be up this weekend " here we are again....the time is ticking buddy
