Even if you're right and that was their intention, I still doubt the update will be released in February. We'd be lucky if we see it in March.

Agreed, and very similar to my post from last week: https://f95zone.to/threads/wvm-s2-ch-1-ep-3-braindrop.35910/post-9984807
I don't understand how a normal person could look at the Wolfeszorn timeline (https://f95zone.to/threads/wvm-s2-ch-1-ep-3-braindrop.35910/post-10033348) and conclude that BD has done a reasonable job at managing the development of the game and communications with his audience.
Yeah its strange. They talk about being done with about 80% of the re-rendering and releasing the update as soon as they can in the first part written by BD and in the second part, supposedly written by Mackenzie, they are talking about bringing updates back in march.
How is it possible, that him and his supposed "PR" person cant even formulate a Patreon post, that isnt totally contradicting.
Can someone tell me what his patreons are commenting? I cant imagine that theyre not having the same question
Guess we'll find out soon if it's indeed a miscommunication or just another delay since that Mackenzie post is about a week old already, not holding my breath tho.Yeah its strange. They talk about being done with about 80% of the re-rendering and releasing the update as soon as they can in the first part written by BD and in the second part, supposedly written by Mackenzie, they are talking about bringing updates back in march.

What the patreon post was talking about was the the update is soon™, and after it drops, BD is going to use the rest of February to focus on the things mentioned in the post, and only in march will he start working on another update to the game.Yeah its strange. They talk about being done with about 80% of the re-rendering and releasing the update as soon as they can in the first part written by BD and in the second part, supposedly written by Mackenzie, they are talking about bringing updates back in march.

But the post also said that the update was 75-80% complete and it's been almost a week already, so can we really believe anything they say at this point?
Real curious how does he or his mom or his financier funded this new house? This ain't a house you can buy with mortgage.View attachment 2359215
Hello everyone.
Mackenzie here, the goal of this post is to inform you guys on what's been going on this past week as well as give some more information about the update.
First thing I'd like to share is that shortly after finishing the first floor, Braindrop completely remade the exterior of the home. This was already being worked on during the last post and only took around an additional day after the post to complete.
The upstairs is blacked out as it will also be remodeled but only the first floor and exterior are necessary for this update so work on them has been put on hold.
(The basement will also be remodeled)
The scene that had to be remade to include the new home was rather large and Braindrop has been spending all of his time loading the scenes and reposing them to fit the new space as quickly as he can. He's gone as far as to set alarms for every 90 minutes when he sleeps to get it accomplished as quickly as possible.
The main bottleneck is load times as each scene can take upwards of 30 minutes to load.
Braindrop has informed me that he's around 75-80% complete as of today and he envisions finishing the rest in the coming days and we'll be uploading as soon as that is complete.
One thing we'd also like to include that was meant to be a bit of a surprise is the length of the update.
We've noticed that everyone seems to have a different idea of exactly how many renders this update is meant to be. We've seen everything from 200 to 1500.
We both thought we had publically shared that it would be over 1000 but,
This update will be slightly north of 2000 renders.
There will be a bit before the exhibition game, the game, and then a bit after.
(We intended this to be a moment that we undersold and overdelivered but then everything happened and we're having to crawl it back)
Nonetheless, this is a large update and it will be out very soon.
If you're curious about what the rest of February will look like.
We will have a post shortly after the update explaining our plan in detail but the idea for February is for Braindrop to finish modeling the house, to properly decorate the patreon, for us to catch up on the side content, and for us to release updated character sheets.
Updates will start back up at the beginning of March and we're going to hit it hard.
That's all of the information I have to share currently.
Thank you guys.
Additionally, here are some of the adjustments Braindrop made to the interior after the post.
2k renders is a meme amount now for this guy, the outlook is bleak
The frequency of updates isnt that important, but monthly at a minimum to justify the patreon income.
Game should be worked on frequenctly, with some exceptions

If you read this thread, or even just some of the summaries, what you'll learn is what the dev says and does are two entirely different things...

I believe for a recurring few it should be done as often as the payment occurs. Of course it has to be more than just a quick image and a few lines of text.
Hey everyone. I'm kinda new at this game and its benn a while that this game got any update so i was wondering that can i download this game now or the new update is near and i can wait for that?

Mate... just read 5 pages back... or a 100... You'll see why this post is so unintentionally funny.
Kudos for making me laugh.
Peace

I am just waiting for the next delay exuse
I am also wondering who even asked the dev to remodel the house interior and exterior who even cares about that
Whats more funny was that he said 2023 will be a better year with plenty of updates and so on
But so far 2023 has been hit with delays and exuses just like 2022 had

Any unrest or update on discord.? I am guessing comments were all positive on patron thats why the long delay for the remaining 25%.

It's going to be along the lines that the alarm clock didn't work every 90 minutes. Sorry but considering what excuses he has come up with too exhausted will be the next one but that statement alone makes it less believable that we will get a massive updateI am just waiting for the next delay exuse

This date will not move again. Any further delays will result in pausing pledges until the update is released.
I'm not trying to play the victim here. I am the bad guy in this situation and I have a long way to go to prove I'm a dev worthy of the support he receives.
My actions have led to a lot of frustration and anger and I understand that and I agree that I have not done nearly enough to warrant the continued support.
It is not fair for me to keep giving out time frames and expectations and continuously failing to deliver on any of them.
My actions were not to trick or deceive.
But good intentions are far from enough. The reality is that I have not been a man of my word for a long time.
My goals were way too ambitious, I consistently found myself working from behind because I think I can achieve more than I can.
I hid behind becoming a husband and a father, I hid behind having to move multiple times, I hid behind the deaths of people I love, and I hid behind just about anything I could. I am not proud of this.
While these were all huge life events, I used them to excuse myself from the responsibility I hold as a developer who is actively taking pledges.
I appreciate everyone who has been holding me accountable.
I've put a ton of work into the game, a lot of work that you guys will never see because of how many times I've remade certain scenes. I used this fact to justify myself but things have gone on for way too long.
I'm just a young man trying to make the most fun game he can.
I've gone through a lot of changes in my life as of late and working on the game to distract myself or just to dump myself into has been a huge blessing but it's also been a curse.
While the update has no tie ins to my real life, I used working on the game to get away from real life for a bit. Things and feelings that are hard to say goodbye to.
On top of that I did a lot of new things and techniques for this update and I've second guessed myself every step of the way.
I have a responsibility to deliver something for you guys and I've routinely failed at doing so.
I may have gone through a lot and my life may have gone through many changes but none of it excuses me taking this long.
And just working on the game isn't enough. The work doesn't mean anything if it never gets seen.
I have to do better and I'm very sorry that it's taken me this long to see past myself.
My mental is pretty fucked. Being the bad guy isn't fun, I don't want to be this.
Having people I respect call me a scammer and milker, having people I've known for 3 years turn on me and ridicule me. Reading many comments everyday about how horrible of a person I am.
I'm scared of this update. I'm scared I took this much time to make something that isn't very good and that's the scariest fucking thing.
I've dealt with imposter syndrome for the entirety of making WVM and I've never felt it to this degree.
Trying to deliver something good quickly has really fucked me.
It sucks having so many people yell at you when you feel like you're trying to do the right thing but also agreeing with the criticism.
My brain has been pulling me in 80 different ways for a long fucking time and I feel pretty out of it from it.
I fully understand why everyone is so frustrated. It's one thing for me to need as much time as I have, but it's another when I constantly give expectations of a release soon only to then go behind on that.
It's reached a point where I have to just shut my brain off and let it be whatever it's going to be.
No more hiding, you guys deserve better.
I'm pretty ashamed of my recent past but there's no changing it now. I can only control the future and we have a plan.
I appreciate everyone who has stuck with me and I apologize for everyone I've lost. I never meant to deceive or trick anyone. I've urged anyone that didn't believe in the process I've been on to unpledge and so far they would have made the right decision.
Things from this moment will be different.
I've been through a lot and I decided to hide behind everything I could fit behind and I'm sorry for doing so. I'm too old for that now. Things have to and will change. I will grow and be better from all of this.
All I can do is ask for the opportunity to show that things can change. I'm only human.
I'll be around for our announcement post after the update and then Mackenzie will run the patreon and SS solo for a while as I focus on building momentum.
All I want to do is make a fun game, but I need to accept the responsibility I have.
Thank you for your time and I hope to see you around.
