The Riker thing never made sense to me.
I never said it was a good story, but it was a story.
people tend to overlook the fact that there are thousands of games on F95 and still a majority of said games struggle to meet this simple criteria.
That's because most devs have the writing skill of a drunk 5 year old... they also don't plan their "stories" ahead and just go with whatever nonsense just pops into their minds...
Stories in most games arent required, there's nothing wrong with you just having a bunch of girls to fuck, but praising a game like that as having a good story is just wrong.
Nukige tag needed...
Sam(e) ol' same ol'Nukige tag needed...
By the way... how is that going for you guys... is Sam still sleeping drunk in the server room?
yeah, but it is still surprising how often visual novels struggle with the novel part the most
I'd be more surprised if I start a new VN and it has a good engaging story with fleshed out characters. :shrug:
I'm not too surprised to be honest.
Ok, but you never really said the reason it's your favorite VN and story out of all the bangers on this site so, I just have to ask.....I can only speak for myself.
This story, these characters, is still, and I don't think it will ever change, one of my most favorite ones. In spite of the poor managing skills of the creator, he did make something that still stands out among the bevy of games/stories in this site. Did he always make good choices? No. He didn't. Yes, he's guilty of the cardinal sin of not being perfect. He's inconsistent, inconsiderate, unreliable, yes he's all that. I still don't care, and I still have the same feelings for WVM as I've had since the first time I played it. He can remake, redo, turn everyone into quacking Ducks, I don't care. I still love it, I am still waiting, and will keep doing it.
I am not even going to give the second part of your post the dignity of an answer.
Anyone that disagrees with me, feel free to do so. It's your life, do with it what you want.
Peace

That's pretty optimistic. Braindead's fucking the dog so bad he might not even update his excuses by then.
Even when there is a story and the writing is done well, people then fuss about everything else. "Why do I have to read so much?" "Why can't I just bang every girl?" "Why can't I bang the 60 year old secretary?" You just can't please everyone. WVM fills a niche. If you want sex every 8th click...This is your game.
This is the true struggle, and trust me, it is way harder to make a go of this when your background is a BA in English Lit, 25 year old Photoshop knowledge fron the Art Institute of Dallas, 20 years in business management, and no prior coding experiance at all. This is why as soon as I can actually afford to hire I plan to do so! My 5 year plan is to have 3 teams of 3 each working on a seperate VN that I have already planned and plotted. (I have 16 stories currently waiting to follow my current one.)
Love this, but I think you may be giving him too much credit as a writer... I'd probably read this then, atleast things would tie together...
So in the nebulous "near future", we'll get 10 teaser images to calm down the patrons who are starting to break free of the hive mind, and probably another explanation to split this already split update into more pieces to give the illusion of a massive amount of renders he's cooked up. Then after that he will tell us about the release date, rather than just... releasing the update. Especially when he's learned again and again and again that giving a release date is a mistake, because he keeps missing his own deadlines and looks more and more like an unreliable asshole.
Not even jerking, this is a distinct possibility. He's already indulged in some extreme hack writing and tired clichés, the story quite literally revolves around MC's dick, and all this mystery surrounding his past could very well have some bizarre, out of left field supernatural element. He's the Chosen One, or a demigod, or the vessel for Satan, or his army of children will repopulate the Earth after a mass extinction event, or whatever the fuck stupid idea that would justify the billionaires, the tattoos, whoever Delilah is, and the fact that every single woman in the game wants to fuck him, except Wendy. Probably.
It's one of the reasons why , other financial priorities aside , I'm not at all a fan of the "subscriptions" model from patreon /others support . I just purchase finished products , I'm old school that way . At best i can sometimes get stuff with early access , and treat it in my mind , like some kind of preorder option . Or even buy a complete Season/Volume/Arc/Part at least
