VN Ren'Py WVM [S2 Ch.1 Ep.13 F] [Braindrop]

[OEJ]

Actually Preglover was speaking out way, way back. Then the thread was handled by another mod (or mods) who pruned a lot of the criticism (anything that could be viewed as "attacking" Braindrop).

It's tough for the mods because they have to protect F95 most of all. But I think the situation with WMV has just gotten to the point where it's very hard to sit back and not call out the BS.

yeah, no mod is "assigned" to a thread. We had to do what was need to maintain so semblance of decency. But the current situation is what BD brought upon himself. Now we are moderating this thread loosely. aka deleting off-topic or very personal attacks and such.

lets get back to topic else we gotta delete these for off topic

It's wild when the lore of the forum is more interesting than the VN.

You know what's lacking from those screenshots? Testing.

Who in the hell is doing the testing? Most of the highly-respected devs and dev teams make incremental beta releases to supporters to stress-test each new build. Perhaps I missing something, but usually there is chatter around betas and that's utterly lacking in those screens.

Regardless of testing, this is going to be the Daikatana or Duke Nukem Forever of adult VNs - even if it does come out, it will never live up to expectations.

Braindrop has called a previous release a "beta" without seeming to understand what it really means. And he's doing it again with the supposed new "weekly" release cycle due in "April" (subject to change). Actually switching to an alpha/beta/release cycle like you mentioned would potentially help BD a lot. He could get feedback from whatever limited Patron tier he selects, and then tweak things based on feedback before dropping it for the masses.

It might even help him with his mental "blocks". But honestly I think that ship has sailed. This might've helped a year or more ago, but at this point I think things are cemented in the current playbook of delay, unfortunate event, more delay, shift blame, more delay, drastically smaller release than promised. Rinse. Repeat.

Ah., how naive all of us once were eh. We should all look back at how we were also the reason for his current inflated ego.

sorry for my contribution towards his milking.

All hail our new Lord, King Braindrop!

It took a mighty warrior to vanquish the evil ICSTOR!

well since end of january 2022 he lost about 700 pantreons,and if things are going on like this it will start to hurt in the money department sooner or later.
at the end of january 2022 he had more than 3500 pantreons and now at the end of a month he has barely a little more that 2900 left.
the numbers of supporters are falling slowly but they do.

nothing can heal a person faster than beeing low on money if it is your only income for your "family".
it is how it is.
the early huge success has messed with Brainshits head more than he thought.

so it is all the PANTREONS fault that he is how he is now

so i feel you, don't beat yourself too much about it

I kinda enjoy coming here to read the latest excuses ngl. Almost as entertaining as an actual release.

I'm old enough to remember when the date was definitely not being moved from February 23rd for a whole sentence

I would send this to patreon and submit a chargeback so fucking hard if I were a current sub. How is this not fraud by definition? "Mackenzie"'s logic of 'why would people care to know that the current release date was actually moved 4 times, they wouldn't be interested in that so we removed it' is as close to fraud without literally saying 'I'm ripping these people off lol.' This is beyond shameless.

Oh my fucking god, i wish that he would STOP SETTING RELEASEDATES!!!!! He never follow up on them so what makes him think we will believe him this time? You guys have managed to convince me that this game is completely dead and the update is non-existent, this thread is just for amusement purposes at this point.

 

[Corutuin]

I think he has made this game way to difficult for him to develop....

- I mean there littarly around 30 womans.
So lot's of stoy lines. What get the priority?
How to stay unique?
Pretty hard with so many woman...

- Most people here do not care about basketball.....

- And the whole communication skills and dispiline by the game developer are not top notch

News Flash: It's a scam for anyone who still has hopes of a scammer doing right by their clients.

View attachment 2427565 How are they getting away with this shit now?

It is simple. Braindrop gets away with it because people still support him on patreon. If people stopped supporting him then he might actually do his job and release the game. But then again this is someone who said before that it is not a job for him but just a hobby. At that time he had a load of patreons too. The people supporting him seem to like being scammed out of their money for the last year or so. Just think how long it has taken him to do an update that has a basketball match in it that the MC is not involved in. Get ready for a 2-3 year delay when the time comes for Braindrop to do an update that has a match in it in which the MC does play

 

[PaxHadrian17]

There was a time when this was a great story.

I was looking forward to the basketball games, time with the harem, overcoming Riker and his BS...

I stopped being a Patreon more than a year ago due to the missed deadlines and lack of focus or story-telling that pulled me in early in the WVM story.

I hope he gets his mojo back but that is not looking good. I only pop into this thread to check in about every 6 months.

GL and see you in the Fall.

Mackenzie or BD excuse of deleting posts is bogus. They delete the release dates post to stop people from being confused? People are not stupid. I mean most people aren't stupid. About 3000 people have low IQ's

If people saw the failed releases dates, it would make them more wary of spending their money. If they release an update announcing a new update time. A new patreon of fish, isn't going to see his past because BD purposesly deletes it. He knows for certain he would not get new fish after he bans his old patreons that are calling him out on his bullshit.

I took a screen shot of his patreon page because any day I know that post with the February release dates is going to be deleted.

At the moment Braindrop and Mackenzie are both frauds. Even if Braindrop appears to pause pledges for a month to appear as a saint, he is not. I remember making a post about it, but back then the mods kept deleting messages.

Braindrop doesn't want to lose subscribers. As long as a person is subscribed, he has that currency rolling in when he charges people. If he kept milking people without releasing anything, people would unsubscribe, and he loses that based income that he has currently. So, he says he pauses pledges. Sounds sainty claus right? No, it's a business tactic. That with deleting posts that reveal past release dates to fool the new fish into subscribing.

It sounds like the perfect scam at this point.

 

[Trojaner]

wait what he had 2k last summer and only little over 400 now more wtf has he been doing

Well, something easy to say ... NOTHING except when we counting the Time he used to look for excuses, thats all.

 

[FreshRevenge]

I am actually surprised that people are still subscribing to Braindrop. I mean only a few select websites feature his game. I mean you have F95zone. Here the game hasn't been updated for months. So, the game isn't going to show up under Latest Updates.

So I wonder what sites are actually keeping his game relevant to get people subscribing. I don't think Patreon has an easy way of discovering adult developers. I just find it odd that I can see like 200 subscribers are gone and in a matter of a week or so, he gets 200 more. Something doesn't add up.
