So this motherfucker is making damn sure he's monetizing his fanbase as much as possible but can't do his damn job? Least he's got his priorities straight I guess. Sheesh. The dude thinks he's Facepunch and wants to ramble on about all the amazing technical feats of making a scene in daz. Seems a bit fucking weird to be planning out that shit for a product you've failed to deliver on for the better part of two years.
LOL at that 'recent.' Hot damn, 20 months is now considered recent.
This poor sucker he's got for his mouthpiece, too. I sure hope he's being paid well for it because he obviously hasn't been given a single piece of relevant information. We all expected something like this but damn, that's cold. "I can't handle reading things so I want you to read the mean things so I don't have to. I won't give you anything that could possibly pacify people though, and you're not allowed to talk about the things I share with you."
Patrons are paying for his blog, they don't care about the game.Braindrop said he has the 400 renders ready and was only going to change a few stances with a new way to render, just a couple of days he said.
That was one month ago, and now they are talking about new tourtes and character creation crap?
Seriously?
How long untill patreons realize that nothing will change untill numbers start dropping?
EDIT:
And BTW, he was supposedly redoing scenes over and over to make them "perfect", but i dont see that big of a jump in quality in the very small release we got over the previous ones...
I was giving him the benefit of doubt, but at this point i think its just...
Not really, apparently BD is being very tightlipped about updates now. We probably wont know anything till it dropsWere there any news on his Discord about that Update that should have come shortly after the last one?

I'll make this into a mini thread... A few more Q&As from BDs discord server which now apparently is replacing mind drops (maybe? who knows? I don't think even BD does... but here ya go!)Per a mod named 'Mackenzie' in Braindrops discord server:

Braindrop is currently planning out the specifics for the tiers.
The remainder of Days 32-38 will be available to all tiers and former patrons, everything after will be tier specific.
Braindrop has stated to me that he plans on having the higher tiers have access to updates early (Starting with Day 39), though he did not say how early.
He also said things such as polls and birthday renders will be tier specific as well.
One new thing he shared with me is that he wants a monthly post where we talk about and showcase some work things that are not at the forefront. Things such as background character creation, scene creation, and any other odd job things that go into making WVM.
I'll let you guys know if I hear anything else about how the roles will be formed.
Thanks for asking!

Are you taking over communication on the channel, patreon and SS?
[MOD] Mackenzie — 08/06/2022
Yes!
For the moment I am only doing so here on Discord but we are taking the steps to grant me access to the Patreon and SubscribeStar as well.
If we get everything sorted out in time then the Mind Drops will continue this coming Wednesday.
We plan on doing the Mind Drops bi-weekly but that is subject to change.
Any further questions?

One question - if you can answer - how are BD and his family doing? Getting into a better place, I hope.
[MOD] Mackenzie — 08/06/2022
We want to keep this channel mainly focused on the game but since it is a valid question I'll answer it this time.
Braindrop and his family are doing well.
From what has been communicated to me, he said he felt he needed to step away from being a public person to properly heal. He is still grieving and he said the constant hostility he was reading wasn't good for him. And as someone who has seen a portion of his DM's, I can not say I blame him.
I do believe that things are getting better for him.
As someone that has seen a good portion of the work he has done this past year, it has been rough seeing him battle himself with releases.
I hope that him stepping away from his public role is the move that lets him get his head on right and continue on.
With that said, please keep further questions on the topic of the game or development.

With that new information, are you able to share any information about the 400ish render update that he was talking about at the beginning of July?
[MOD] Mackenzie — 08/07/2022
I don't know much more than you guys do on that one.
Braindrop has shared that he was working on an additional route for the update and he's sent me a few things to give feedback on so I have an idea of what it is but I'm not allowed to share anything like that.
He seems to be taking a hard stance on not sharing timelines for updates after all the recent issues. So it's unlikely we hear anything until he releases it.
Thanks for asking!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TLDR: Braindrop now has someone who's speaking for him but it's ONLY through discord, not patreon or SS (yet?). Still no information on the 400 renders that were to be released very soon after this past release, and on a semi related note, the 2,000+ renders that were ready to be released back in February seem to be forgotten about.
2,000+ renders?

Be optimistic, 2k renders + all the side routes and extra contents, all waiting to be dropped when the dev is ready. Remember the age old proverbial knowledge "rome was not built in a day". Plus the generous patreons has been supporting him whether he pauses the pledge or not. True loveEvery time I read something by the new mod it feels like an update for the game gets further and further away unfortunately.
Like you, I certainly hope this is the case, but with so little to attach our faith to and so many broken promises so far without apology or solid footed explanation that has some weight on it. I can hope you can also see that those who are deeply jaded are not so without reasonable cause.Be optimistic, 2k renders + all the side routes and extra contents, all waiting to be dropped when the dev is ready.

If I had a coach like Breanna or Harper,I definitely would put much more efforts in my basketball and volleyball practice.August 13 has arrived (for most) and it's birthday shout-out time for this amazonian beauty Keyana. MC's client turned lover and the new basketball assistant coach. Always a joy to see and looking forwards to doing more "workout" sessions with Keyana (+ Brittany too)

Happy Birthday Keyana! View attachment 1980818
Think about it this way. If you were BD, how could you let go of this story, even as part of the audience? It's too good. Odds are that there was a big thread in the story that just didn't work. BD does good work, but the day/chapter format has meant some inconsistencies in the story (like Wendy & Azel knowing each other). He doesn't have the luxury to edit the early chapters before the audience sees it.Like you, I certainly hope this is the case, but with so little to attach our faith to and so many broken promises so far without apology or solid footed explanation that has some weight on it.

I do hope this all looks like egg on my face when the dev updates come and a show of the plan moving forward and/or a solid chunky game/story update. I want to believe. I want to be a cheerleader for BD and his successes though his struggles.
However, where we sit today, with even this scant discord-based update is still so very far from where those who pushed hard for this and supported this early through word of mouth and/or funding. This game was the REASON I joined this forum, so it is quite dear to me and want the best for it and BD.
Doors of Stone (Book 3 of King killer)?Hell, I've been waiting a decade for a sequel fantasy novel to come out, and I'll be waiting another ten before it does. That's life.
