What is up with this dev? He's almost worse than ScamStor but like with the addition of throwing tantrums indicative of a 13 year old on top of all the other stuff.
- Thread starter 7767
- Start date
Dude introduces 100+ characters and we fck the same girls every update.. At least make some trans route progress with Shauna , we've canonically banged her like 50 times by now. Why even make her trans if you're never gonna explore that path ever? Or let us have the coach at least :x

Maybe I'm just stating the obvious, but I dont understand why he would announce dates and as we all thought, not have the update ready to drop? I thought Mack had it should he have backed out? So why was he up for 70 hours? (This is a rhetorical question.)
If I was a dev, when I announce a date of release, it would already be packaged, and uploaded. All I'd need to do is drop the link. Does that not make any sense? Better yet, I'd always be one version ahead of my release, so that I always had updates to drop.

BD knows that if he lets you bang Harper, the wait will be over and he'll lose a portion of his audience after that.

If I was Braindrop:
Sadly, he seems to think because of his defenders, he can keep on, keeping on! But far from a smart business or character model!
- Quit giving bogus drop dates and just say the next update will be out "soon".
- "I got 30,000 screens finished, it will be out in the next update!" Then releases 203, if lucky. Stop that!
- Give people more choice in what to do with the game.
- Instead of excuses, show screen shots of progress and check in with the progress (without giving away surprises).
- People complain about things in masses (black boxes), stop doing it completely, instead of overdoing it!
- Instead of bringing in 100 new girls, focus on like 10-12 of them and make the other ones just side-lays for Ethan (for the breeding side-plot).
- Make Harper bangable, but make it prolonged and lead up to. Not just, "Oh well, let's do it!"
- Work on ACTUALLY IMPROVING models, not changing them for a side-grade or outright downgrade (Katie: Just no!)
- Quit with the bogus excuses.
- Quit making yourself a victim of your own doing.

So.......... BD decided to shower us with more bullshit. Honestly, does a set of waist-high waders get included when you join the discord? 2 things that immediately stood out in his long-winded discord replay was:
1) Acknowledgement that the WVM code is "Giga Easy" after OEJ called BD out when BD played the "i'm looking over all this code to find the bug" garbage.
2) Trying to actually spoon-feed us more BS that he starts his release process 1 week prior to release and that's when all his play testing / debugging / fixing things that feel off is happening.
Ok then, for the sake of the argument let's say we believe what BD said. How the fuck does he explain this as part of the "fixing what feels off" line of BS? Or does he honestly feel that this is great workmanship on his part?

told ya.... also, 1 whole week isnt enough to bug test the game?? thought he had the bug last minute in the previous release. what ever happened to the 1 week then.
for anyone who arnt familiar with renpy., tweaking of renders and code bug fixes are 2 entirely different things. you can simply run through the latest update a few time and check if its producing desired results. and image tweaking can be done after than (which is weird but acceptable).
And this is for BD: atleast send the files to your mods so that they can test it. 1 brain isnt gonna do much in bug testing thats why many AAA or indie or even AVn devs have beta testers to find if they have missed something.
..... all of this can only happen if you actually have the update ready. which as we have guessed it ya dont, coz if you had that practice then even your mods would wake up from their slumber realizing that you dont actually have anything in hand for them to believe you.
For someone who has so many mental health issues, your mods and other supporters should lessen your burden and take the responsibility of bug testing and beta testing themselves. Come on guys, i believe in you. you can can help him in someway (atleast now they might realize, but oh well we know they wont. So whats the point)

(This is all my opinion BTW)
If I was to venture a guess, I would assume that there is a "generic" face associated with the asset used to create the MC. I just assume that BD doesn't like that face and hasn't come up with a better one yet. The black box would be a quick and dirty way to cover up the MC so that the first release could actually be released. I am very much of the mind that the release was slapped together with bubblegum and duct tape (oops sorry DUCK tape) and rushed out the door. Hence the 2500 no 2000 no 1700 no really 1295 render release.
After that 1295 render release, and with everyone complaining, he probably thought it was a cool joke (and a big middle finger to the "haters") to keep using the black box in this 700 render release.

(Why's everybody always pickin' on me?) <== BD obviously

Unfortunately, with Braindead, he knows full well that the supporters who pay into his wallet, are going to be stuck to his ass like an unwelcome turd. we can bang on here all day spouting the obvious, but it will always be the same story... he will make thousands of dollars per month, while he sits on his ass and does jack shit!
i have said this before, but I really feel for the devs who give two fucks about their supporters, who struggle to gain support, because 1 percent have been brainwashed by a corrupt person, who used every excuse in the book to delay progress.
i am sickened by the pure patronising face on Braindead, I do not wish him harm, but boy, do I wish his Klingons would see the light and support the devs who give 2 fucks.

I can't fucking wait for the next chapter. I'm so hyped that I finished this game in 2-3 days. Keep it up!
I work in HVAC and was gonna correct you, until I realized what the joke was lmao.

He's been told this many times by many people for over two years now. Keep that in mind when considering if he is "dumb" or "acting in good faith."

I do not think Braindrop is dumb (but I question the brains of some of his defenders) nor necessarily acting in good faith. Braindrop is doing just enough to keep interest and keep his donations coming in to live a new life.
There are a few things that can be going on here, or a combination of them (most likely).
He achieved success he never realized, so now is living a different life.
He has no idea where to go with the story, or got in over his head with the scope.
He got burned out making WVM, so works on it a little here and there but missing the former passion.
When he first started out, the game was solid (or it would have never drew us all in like it did). He released entire updates, full of renders and told the tale of the main characters. This was in the golden time of both him and the game. His focus was on the fans and the product.
After reaching a certain point, that is when he started running into "constant issues" (around the time he was nearing the end of chapter 1). That is also when he suddenly came contrarian, promised updates were often missed with excuses, and the focus of the story became more diffuse.
After Chapter 2 started, promised updates have become almost always delayed by a month or several. What he says he has done and what we all get are definitely not as grand. Mackenzie appeared, the only other person who has as much happen to herself as Braindrop does to his life. The game focus is no longer there, what he is making is not working for everyone, and suddenly the former quality is no where near where it was. Black boxes, duck faces, and now the new normal has become naked women running around, bigger T and A, and redone characters. The more you talk about these things negatively, the more they become part of WVM.
He is obligated to make up excuses and keep people interested, but he also gathers sympathy for everything that allegedly happens to him. He is afraid the money will dry up, that is why he is so active on Patreon with his constant progress claims and excuse engine! Now his focus is on the income and giving people just enough to where they stand by him while he does whatever and excuses his way out of everything.
It went from initially him making a game with maximum effort, to him doing the bare minimum to keep the money coming and allow his army of WVM simps to defend his every missed promise. Then, he demonizes and blocks anyone who questions him or complains. He filters Patreon, and has his defenders come in here to attack us (or they do it on their own).

As an aside, yours truly is starting to make my own AVN game.
I have no idea how good my first effort will be, as I am learning DAZ and have acquired quite a bit of assets for it. I need to learn Ren'py better, learn Daz, and create scenes so this will definitely be a WIP. Everyone starts somewhere, so who knows?
I make my own music with keyboards and the DAW Acoustica Mixcraft 9, so my game will feature a soundtrack not normally found in AVN games (mostly generic public domain tracks you happen to hear in a lot of different games). I am also a writer and like to write stories, so both abilities should come in handy for this!
I am starting to write the story and I have been working with DAZ a lot to learn to create the content. I will keep everyone updated as well on my progress and hope to release a preview soon. I am just now getting to the point where I can make entire scenes in DAZ. I found a way to import DAZ content to Blender, but Blender would be a completely different animal to learn, so I will stick with DAZ3D Studio Pro for now.
I will stick to my guns and if I say there is an update coming, it will come! I will make a Patreon and all that, but my focus is on learning DAZ, creating a good story, keep lots of choices, and learn from mistakes of developers (like a well known AVN maker discussed in here
).
I have also thought about doing a spin of WVM, but to be honest I would prefer to create my own AVN.

I agree. I also think he should have a progress bar like some other devs do. Like the devs for what a legend or SS. I think that may help a little bit with people doubting whether he's actually doing anything. Along with screenshots of completed renders that wont necessarily spoil what the next update is about.
