The news will be that he will watch NBA games
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!

Same energyHis first post in 12 days on his own discord. Must be real close because he said he'd disappear until it was done.

Oh no, guess he had to deal with his time traveler great great grand child coming back to try and kill his pet cat because it's revealed his cat rises up and overthrows all of humanity, turning us into chairs so they have more places to sit.
He's not though, we used to get weekly updates.It's gotta be he's a massive and serial procrastinator
There's only one issue with what youre saying, why would he start working on the game when it's half complete writing wise? Even if he needed a new source of income and started actually making the game before it was complete, why would he not take at least one week off a month to continue writing the story he had a road map for and was clearly confident in? I almost wonder if someone else wrote the first chunk, which is why BD seems so aimless now.We got weekly updates when he had at least a somewhat coherent story and a reasonable number of characters.
But now the plot is out of control and makes no sense and he keeps adding characters to see if one of them sparks something or to use them in one of the many side-plots. He's also caving to the perfectionist stuff, which make the other things worse.
If he procrastinates, he's a "productive procrastinator" in that he does X work so he doesn't have to do Y work. X work being coming up with new characters/reworking stuff. Y work being figuring out a way to, well, untangle the story and make sense of it all.
BD has always, from the very beginning, massively overshared his personal issues. They may be excuses, some of them may be make believe to gain sympathy, but I think some of the things he's said about his own struggles over this game to be true. Not knowing how to deal with the success, perfectionist issues, imposter syndrome and so on.
All I wanted was more Shauna and incest.We got weekly updates when he had at least a somewhat coherent story and a reasonable number of characters.

Question is is really the story half complete???Personally i doubt thatThere's only one issue with what youre saying, why would he start working on the game when it's half complete writing wise?

All i wanted was the remake cause it was going to fix alot of early continuity issues i still think if he would've delivered on that he wouldn't have as many issues. Especially the characters he using characters planned for the remake the remake isnt finish so we're getting characters in s2 we dont know but the MC doesAll I wanted was more Shauna and incest.
Because apparently he is an avid sports fan, and those are the 2 sports having playoffs at the moment, so it is a good chance that he is watching those instead of working on stuff. Though the NHL has been on a week long break, waiting for the final round to start.What does NBA and NHL playoffs had to do with his game???I mean nobody of all those guys supporting his game on patreon will wait for NBA and NHL playoffs to finish
Eventually we're gonna get an update that starts out with the MC waking up and discovering that it is the morning of the day he's supposed to leave for college and everything else was a dream and that's why it all got so weird at the end...and then BD will relaunch it all over again...All i wanted was the remake cause it was going to fix alot of early continuity issues i still think if he would've delivered on that he wouldn't have as many issues.

you realize that the S1 issues continue in S2 aswell? Instead of 120hr days ur getting 110hr days xD. Soooo... Do you expect a rework for S2 aswell?All i wanted was the remake cause it was going to fix alot of early continuity issues i still think if he would've delivered on that he wouldn't have as many issues.

I just want to see if my theory about Delilah being the other car crash survivor is true. After that, fuck this game.BD aside, are people still actually interested in the game anymore? Like what content are people waiting for at this point? Incest is not going to happen so that’s off the table. I know there are some waiting for the solo JamiexShauna stuff that’s been being built up but it feels like BD is afraid of pulling the trigger even if it’s optional because some people might see it as NTR and we all know how those arguments end up.
