And there will be a compiling issue, like 2-3 months ago. Or while he was doing the errands his dog will eat is renders.

*comes back with Tea*

thank you for not disappointing me, such lovely comments :)
I find this confusing as I'm not sure which side you are on right now :LOL:

At this point BD is lying about such small things that it's hard to believe a word he says... although that IRL thing may be true, he'll probably go out with his friends for drinks.

I hear bets, the update comes out on Sunday or will we just get it at the end of the month, to justify not pausing patreon?
On Sunday during football season I'll take end of the month no question

Why the hell are there Betas?
Because gullible people (and cult members) take it easier then if he said "hey, I will chop this update into 3 parts... that turn into 6 parts down the road." Instead if it is "beta 1/2/3/whatever" there is an illusion that he will constantly improve the chapter, and with the last part the previous parts will be better quality with renders or dialogue (can't say story, sorry, no matter how I try to force it) then when it first came out.

so just because I was bored, I looked up what Beta actually means. According to "What Games Are": 'Beta' is a standard term to denote a milestone release during production in which game functionality is included and optimised (but may have bugs), game content is finished (but may have some implementation errors), and which is considered nearly complete.

In short: A beta is the finished game -or in this case an update, only thing missing is bug-fixing.

But in BD's world, everything evolves around him, so he just decided to call his little "updates" betas. Sometimes I wonder what's going on in his head besides food and sports. At this point WVM probably feels like the long lost memory of a childhood friend

It seems BD is passive/aggressive. I think he does it to fuck with people.
This needs to be repeated more. Whether he's malicious in lying about updates, he's definitely annoyed at some of his fans and gets back at them by doubling down on things they hate (thiccness, duckface, teasing incest, splitting updates, teasing Harper, etc.).

The meaning of Beta has changed over the years, and the waters have been muddied even further with terms such as Early Access.

I was taught:
Alpha: Functional build that lacks game-mechanics/features often uses placeholder assets.
Beta: All gameplay mechanics/features/assets implemented, optimization and bug crushing still needed.
RC (Release Candidate): Build that undergoes full QA testing, unless major bugs are found will become GA.
GA (General Availability) i.e. Final: Public Release.

from a technical standpoint a lot of AVNs are in a perpetual state of Beta but there are ones out there that do a somewhat more traditional release schedule by doing episodic releases that provide early builds (Beta) to some if not all supporters before wide spread release.

Edit: this was before patching afterwards was a widespread practice; in my opinion this practice seems to have dropped the GA altogether and made the players/customers the QA.

We already know you're a secret agent. The question is are you a double secret agent. Working both sides with a plan to eliminate us all. :WeSmart:
too much work, i deal with enough BS at the casino as a bartender to try something like that

another reason i can pick out lies so well, the stories i hear at work are ridiculous
