Many people on this thread commented on how this yacht trip should be an important moment. There was a lot of buildup leading to this trip. And it became apparent that his planned and completed work on the yacht scenes was not going to be what it should be. He could've released it and fixed it in "rework" like so many devs do, but then the scenes would be spoiled.

This arc should be important. Something significant should come from all this development. Too many times, I believe, BD has created plot points and interesting moments of drama without capitalizing on them. That is not to say that this will or will not happen here. But it is an opportunity to add some flourishes. Hopefully, something exciting will occur on this trip.

I still say whatever problems there were with the original version having too much happening each day to be realistic were not worth taking 2 plus years (and counting) to try and fix. Maybe after the game was finished, then go back and do a "remaster" or whatever to keep the money coming in. Just my opinion.

So I know the privilege squad are going to shout me down for questioning their righteous furry; but here goes.
I feel like the anger is because people expect this VN to be delivered like clockwork and it never is. The problem isn't really that you aren't getting what you want when you want it, but rather, the problem is that you expect something that isn't going to happen.
WVM will never have a regular update schedule. Screaming into an echo chamber about that will not fix that: Nothing will fix that.
WVM will never have incest. Screaming into an echo chamber about that will not fix that: Nothing will fix that.

Yeah, I wasn't one to complain about the days. Sure, every day was like an episode of 24 and it would take a superhuman cock to do all the things. Not so sure it was important enough to go back and make changes. Although, I think it is mostly coding with a couple of changes to images.

That clockwork schedule is only expected because Braindrop introduced that schedule. Those type of expectations would be unfair if it came out of the blue. Either way, those were the guidelines he wanted to use for the year.

And that’s the point… these are his expectations too. Which is why he is so disappointed in every dev log when his own expectations aren’t met. Have you seen dev logs from other games? I’m not sure if it’s supposed to read like apology letters or transcripts from a therapy session.

Games like The Genesis Order or Grandma’s House also follow a similar clockwork schedule. But the thing is, they garnered a reputation of consistent releases and rarely delay release dates. Hell, on the NLT Media website there’s even a live countdown for the next update. Those games are confident in this type of clockwork schedule, mainly because the developers premade a chunk of content/renders to be sprinkled throughout the coming weeks, without the worry of feeling left behind.

As for the incest complaints… well that echo chamber is a whole ‘nother type of breed. (See what I did there)

Have you ever herd the fable of "The Frog and the Scorpion"?
A scorpion promises not to sting a frog that is carrying it across a river and then stings the frog halfway across. Both the frog and the scorpion die. The scorpion dies because its a scorpion and stinging is just what it does. The frog dies because it knows the scorpion will sting it but carries it on it's back anyway and is there for not a verry smart frog.

If BD promises a regular schedule and doesn't deliver then BD is just being BD (leopard and spots situation). If you believe BD when BD promises a regular schedule you have no one to blame but your self for expecting BD to not be BD (can't ask one to change them situation).

Your point about other games garnering reputations is, in essence, my point exactly. WVM has a well earned reputation. You clearly know this reputation. Why are you surprised to find BD lives up to that reputation?

That said I see what you did there inbreed uhm... indeed I mean.;)
