Dev Report #39 (April 24th, 2024)

Yo!

Decided to go back to E13 for this report's teasers... even if they're similar to previously shown ones. I'm kinda running out of good teasers that don't spoil too much lol

But you may have noticed that the render and animation numbers didn't move much this week and that's due to me finishing up all of the alterations. Which means I've been in the testing phase for a few days now.
Testing phase includes bug-testing, proofreading, and overall vibe-checking. (As well as just finishing up all of the little things.)

Full transparency, this is the point of the process where I've been getting in my own head and then deciding to make massive changes. But, that's not going to happen again. Of course things could always be improved but I am happy and content with how it's all turned out.
Part of "Vibe-checking" does include making minor changes, just the stuff like adding or even removing transition renders, changing up the phrasing of parts of dialogue, etc.
So far testing has had its ups and downs but things are still progressing smoothly.

Admittedly, I'm fighting every urge I have to set a release date. I don't know why I'm so married to them even though I have the worst track record in history with them. But I'm sticking to my word and I'm not going to set anything. There are still things that can go wrong, recently I've had a number of issues during compiling.
Not trying to speak anything into existence though.

I mentioned in the last report that it was my desire to have the update out by the end of the month. Which it still is and I'm going to try my best to have it out but I can't promise anything there. If things go well, it will be close.
But I'm going to do the "smart" thing and operate from a "things don't go well" point of view.
In the event that the update is not out by the end of the month, then it would be out early in May.
With that being said, I want to remind everyone that the 800+ render, 20+ animation update will be made available to everyone at the same time. There will not be any delayed tier timing.
This includes for all former patrons due to earlier promises. So if you're not down with how long things have taken (totally understandable) you can withdraw your pledge and still have access to the update. All you need to do is make sure you're in the discord.

I wish I had more exciting news for everyone. But we are in the final bits before this update will be in your hands. The one thing I can promise from all of this is that there will not be any more medium or large changes to any of this content, no more of that.
That's all I have to share for now, I'm going to go get back to work on finalizing everything.
Once again thank you all for your patience and understanding. I truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful week and I'll talk to all of you soon!
Wonder when it's going to be released?

I don't know what is more impressive.. the fact he hasn't set a date yet and then missed said date.... or that he hasn't ghosted everyone for 2 months then coming back trying to play it off like nothing happened.

What is the MacKenzie Saga? I haven't been keeping up with this developer/game anymore due to the inconsistent updates.

Home reunion, hike, and practice time... Look, I really just want MC to meet Dahlia already so we can get more into the "it's a small world after all" story that seems to be a big chunk of what's going on. Who/where is MC's aunt? What's Lauren's connection to MC's dad? What about the shenanigans with the tattoo on rich chick's hips? And sure, more tits and blowjobs too... but mostly wish he'd just rip the band-aid off with meeting Dahlia already. Been a good deal of teasing and not enough pleasing...

MacKenzie is a character in the game that is assigned by WVM to be Ethan's social media manager. We haven't really seen too much of her tbh, but soon enough she will choke on that superstar cock.

Maybe a year ago, I don't even remember, the biggest coincidence in the world happened: Braindrop hired someone to handle his Patreon account. This person would give updates, field questions, and even force out a release if BD was stuck in his head for too long.

This totally real person's name is MacKenzie.

There was an intro post where "she" acknowledged this "coincidence", "she" laid out the new plan going forward, that BD wouldn't even need to touch Patreon because now he has "MacKenzie". But this absolutely genuine flesh and blood person did not stick around long. There was never a forced release, because as usual, BD did get stuck in his head again. There was some Patreon account trouble, where "she" didn't have actual permission to release an update or some other bullshit. I think the very last thing we heard about this definitely-not-made-up person was that "she" would be off for a few days, to visit family or something. And then... nothing.

BD kept posting like nothing happened, because the emperor has no clothes.

Color me cynical , but what i'm reading is basically "Yo I've noticed some slight increase in anger and aggressiveness toward me , with only 85% of my discord and patreon simping , instead of the usual 98% , so let me try to snake charm my way out of the "toxicity" ! I'll do better guys !! peace !!"

Never seen so many people complain so bitterly about something they're getting for free on a pirate site...

Bad faith argument. A lot of the people complaining here are former patrons who got sick of paying a guy who consistently didn't deliver.

Full disclosure: I've never been a supporter, so feel free to look down on me. But a lot of them have earned the right to be very angry at him.

Yeah it's the usual shit take that you can file alongside ridiculous stuff like "if you're not happy with it , why don't you do better". Never mind former and current customers being around . I'd have trouble believing anyone claiming he never complained about something he pirated . Also makes you wonder how much you gotta spend to earn the right to whine lol

No, he's totally right. I should give BrainDrop a minimum of a dollar a month (or preferably $100, that way I can get a custom Discord role!), that way when I get a subpar update after months of nothing, I can use my God-given right to complain. And then get subsequently banned from the Discord (and lose my precious $100 Discord role!), and end up back here, where the same comment about people whining on a pirate site inevitably pops up again.

it's so bad that even i almost disgust the man i love what he did here?
i really love this shit and everytime i tried to understand the paradigms of his ,why,what,where...
the art work isnt esceptional his schedule update are the worst ,his work ethics is lacking[for not saying he doesnt have any]
etc,but man.....evryday when i comeback to the pc after a long day of work i tatally expecting any news about the update .....are we crazy?
is so hard to see this going down bcs lot of ....i dont know what to call it anymore,.i really thing the worst of him but i dont want to ,i want him to prove me wrong,u know what i mean ,.
i truly adore this game even in this state ,even with black boxes and duck type faces,even with most humoungus harem of all time,i wish him the best not theworst,but his personal life take too much of everything from him and his beahviours isnt the most accomplished,.
im not asking for any apologies but i will say to him like once i tell him in discord,"ifyou stay true to your work,and find the right way to being a family man and do your job right,you will always have any kind of supprt from me or anybody"
i really really hope those kind of words are being chased by any of his actual patreons,bcs he needs to hear this constantly,and not by being a suckers and not by any mean in a bad way,...at least in the end we all pray for him and hope he cant find common ground for him and his future ,for him and his patreons ,and for us his followers [even if we dont like it]we are bcs we love what he did and we still here asking,complaining ,whinning,and bashing,...all of that we do bcs we hope for the bestoutcome,and thats he finish this for us to take A BIG deserve rest.........
