Many devs do that, the main reason BD is viewed one of the worst now is that he used to have weekly updates, and now he's just a constant stream of bullshit.

His game level + the amount he earns per month or year is enough for him to release average updates of 2000/3000 renders,But he's just milking it, he's not even good for launching a mediocre update.
He only knows how to make excuses, soon he will say that he was trapped, or that he was abducted by aliens.

He refuses to hire a team because he does not want to give up control over any aspect of the game, including its development and story. While this might seem like a misguided reason. Since a team would work under his direction. It is important to note he claims that this project is not a job for him. Although, it appears he does not have other employment. Thus, relies on money from his supporters to pay his bills. This game is a passion project. You can not rush a passion project.

Unfortunately, BD seems more focused on enjoying himself at his supporter's expense rather than putting effort into completing the game, It is baffling how long his supporters continue to fund his lifestyle without seeing significant progress. He appears to milk the funds until backers start asking about an update. Then he releases a small update with 300 to 400 renders, promising to meet future deadlines. This cycle repeats endlessly.

He's basically becoming like another dev whose name ended in "drop", it just took him longer to get there. I guess we should expect some weird acid trip WVM spinoff in the future.

What is really dumb is his supporters seem to be annoyed with the amount of updates. I wished they would release if they all just stopped supporting the game. I bet his ass would get to work on putting stuff out again. No instead they are like oh well what is another month. I can't wait for the point BD hasnt release an update in 3 years and see if they are still say that. My guess is they probably will.

I mean…..yeah, they do. We already passed the 2+ years without an update mark some time ago ;)

You said that " he does not want to give up control over any aspect of the game, including its development and story" what story exactly??this game has neither story nor character development , MC is a guy that girls take off their clothes just because he looked at them...Not to mention that most of the things that happen in the "story" so far don't make sense at all as for what BD claims i can't say if he has another job or what, but not hiring a bunch of renderers to help with the whole project to move forward smoothly when you can afford it it's a bad decision for me

He's not even bothering to make excuses at this point

But let's be honest. Braindrop can't even manage his own workflow, how is he supposed to manage other people, or in the Mackenzie thing, how is he supposed to manage a dozen different accounts that all happen to be named like women from that train wreck without them all talking the same way and at the same time achieve his 20 hours of procrastination a day?

Well it can't be that difficult is they manage to agree on a working hours per day and the what type of work each of the assistants will do each day...Because we all know that if you want to have something ready on a schedule you have to work daily for at least 5 hours a day...Of course renders do take time but there are other type of work that needs to be completed

Using batch rendering, the renders can be done overnight, not during the actual work day.

Does he do his own testing or does he use testers? I never find anywhere near all the issues by myself!
Other eyes are crucial!

Why would he want testers? His goal is clearly to delay this as long as possible; testers would only accelerate the process. Plus, there's a solid chance there's nothing to test because he probably hasn't actually finished it yet.

BD's favourite song - " I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go " XD

I dont know for sure but knowing him I doubt he'd use other people.

True I don't think he would even trust that task with his most loyal supporters in case they might actually find out the truth but then again they would need something to actually test :ROFLMAO:
