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.

Where's MacKenzie when you need her :KEK:

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...
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.

The Purpose of a VN should be to tell the story and to COMPLETE it, not drag it out for years. If you get enough support to afford help, by all means hire and speed up production. Should any VN really take more than 3 years to put out if you have a team working on it and not just a solo person? I don't think so. but maybe I'm weird. Maybe I still see this from a consumer view point... Or from a business management one.
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

I get that some do need that kind of method , to even start developing their game , but I do believe that in too many cases , patreon based support , enabled too many shady stuff and behaviors . We've all seen VNs that occasionally , or frequently add basically filler content , dragging things out , instead of moving their plot-line along .

I'd be more surprised if I start a new VN and it has a good engaging story with fleshed out characters. :shrug:
Those are rare as fuck...

WVM is so far away from good characters and story it's hilarious.
And some games don't need a deep story, they just exist for the fun.

WVM takes itself too serious though.
There are dark themes of child neglect, daddy killing some girl because reasons, war in foreign countries... and then suddenly princess in the basement... yo MC go fuck all the hos at ur college... yo breed them too... what? ur GF wants u to fuck all the hos too so u don't have to cheat... amazing...

The best word I can come up to describe WVMs writing is schizophrenic...
Maybe I'm giving BD too much credit, but as bad as the writing can be, there is at least a relatively consistent internal logic and the story is pretty coherent. At the bare minimum you can at least follow the plot of the game when you play through it (obviously the lack of a S1 rework hinders this at the moment). There are some games on this site that truly feel schizophrenic from a combination of bad writing, poor English, lack of focus (cutting to and from random disparate scenes and muddled timelines), and absence of internal logic.

Holy hell. I checked in after a long while, and seeing this... so we get teasers for the teasers at this point? Are the teasers the renders he finished during these few months? Getting these for (at least partially, as per BD) the content that was first promised for... what was it? October or november? Is he trying to remake the Duke Nukem wait?

Easy to follow the plot? There isnt one.

I like the dad lore. I know he’ll just be evil but I like the idea that he’s morally grey.

also Willabelle mentions her ex was in a car crash

What is with this Tier system? A character we have never met is Tier 2?

Now we know why this update has been delayed 4 months....or was it 8?
We have met Margaret, we did a video call with her to meet her and she visits Stacy just before we left for Florida as for the update delay well apparently Dev went on vacation
