VN Ren'Py WVM [S2 Ch.1 Ep.13 B7] [Braindrop]

[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.

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

MacKenzie updated his Discord pfp

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.

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.

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.

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?...

I... I just had to after seeing this comment...

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.

i agree that topic deserves a thread of it own.

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.

I get the point , and i kinda agree .. but somehow i don't lol . From my limited experience , having not played all of them , i can still safely claim that the bulk of 4+ rated around here ( excluding those at 4+ stars with single digit amount of reviews so far) , are easily setting a much higher standard . The highly rated "crap" i can easily count on one hand , and most usually involve drip feeding a bad story and dialogues via an heavy grind , usually within sandboxes or tedious rpgm mechanics .

When digging for quality , the bar ain't that low ... it ain't at WVM's level at least . I kinda get why it's popular , it throws hand-fists of girls at people and used a popular sports topic ... but that's it . It can't even properly manage a 24h days cycle in writing.

well thats true,and i felt the same ,.but after the last daliah update [not this one]the script pick my interest again,perhaps this dingbat of bd is not so incompetent,...but to who i try to lie,.....we all know that even if he have the best script of all the avn puthere he will care only for the big pay....

It is sad that money can change someone so much. He started with a decent concept. If you can't handle social interaction,my suggestion would be don't setup a discord channel. Make your AVN put it out and continue with the avn or continue with your life. I know it was a unimaginable story and pure fantasy,but we are not looking for real life (i hope not). i might or might not have some kinks that i can't do in real life so i will try the wildest avn i can find just for the pure fantasy of it. Just to be clear i am not talking about sadistic things,just things people i socialize with are not open to. Wvm was a choice based avn with a little of everything. I think he let the avn control him instead of him controlling the avn. IT makes me sad to see it happen to anyone.

i think the single biggest mistake he made, and pretty much every game that has a BIG mistake is the same thing, is letting higher-tier sub ranking dictate what goes in to or is changed in a game

1) please use your own vision, it's always better (if the game would succeed anyway)
2) with all due respect, "normies" don't fucking know anything about what they really want
3) those people (high tier) aren't gonna stay there long term, and then your main base stuck with whatever frankenstein options your temporary big-bucks put on the line

Waifu Academy, Milfy City, Harem Hotel (briefly, redeemed), and WVM are some solid games that were big ticket in the day that suffered from this (i know there are others)

it's a good money milker for those who are not serious about their VNs and plan to eventually abandon them, but if you plan to go from A to Z and finish something ... man, DO NOT let your fanbase dictate the direction of your game (with due respect)

EDIT : example, if * i * were calling the shots on this game right now (in it's current state), i'd have PP Shauna betray the MC and steal all of his Top Waifus and fuck them silly, then become the secret dark-horse protagonist

I know Anti would be there with me, but i know for the integrity of the game and the majority of the fanbase, that would be a disaster (but better than no content at all <3 )

 

[Akabakka]

It would actually make the game least interesting ... a competition between Shauna and MC for the girls , especially Jaimie lol . Meanwhile the real game can't decide for over a year if Shauna and Jaimie will get it on , despite pretty much previously agreeing to .... nor even a lesbian coupling like Bailey and Rain , with the same pattern . But of course , he has to milk the anticipation , while keeping the "don't taint my harem dream" folks happy .

UPDATE TIME !!!




wait...huh?
