Quick update (Pledges were unpaused)
Added 2025-02-01 10:52:20 +0000 UTCI'm writing this from my phone, this is just a small post to give you guys a quick heads up about the upcoming update.
Sadly I did run into further issues with the final bit of animation stuff for the Jasmine scene.
I was in the process of packaging what was ready from the update to upload when some stuff popped up with that I am having to deal with.
The partial update is about 280 renders long and includes the rest of the Daliah scene and the start of the Jasmine scene, the rest will be uploaded as soon as the animations are fixed.
I will have the partial update up as soon as possible, it should not be much longer. I am sorry for the continued wait.
The rest of E13 will be up within the next few days and we'll then be getting into E14 content which is mostly ready to go but needs to be finalized and will be release scene by scene.
I did unpause pledges before release honestly out of necessity right now. I would not do so unless I knew everything would be out within the next few days. I feel awful about having to do so, but I had to do so.
If you were charged and would like a refund please message me and I'll have that sent to you right away.
Reminder that pledging right now isn't necessary and is only to show support, all of E13 and E14 and a little bit after will be available to all former patrons via the discord.
Thank you guys.

2025-02-12 15:02:10 +0000 UTCYou said you would not have paused if you weren’t absolutely sure the partial of the partial update would be released in the “next few days” it hasn’t how about next time keep you word and and your promise, and don’t unpause until AFTER you actually release it.

2025-02-10 19:33:51 +0000 UTCAh, what you all forget is what you've been given. I love WVM and am very happy with I have given back for a compelling story. So many authors give up at a certain point, but ours is continuing on to give us something we all like.

2025-02-04 01:41:56 +0000 UTCso what will we get first the update or excuse for it not being out? i'm going with excuse
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-03 04:59:00 +0000 UTCYeah I think you're right mate.
Gavin
2025-02-03 04:46:02 +0000 UTCAnd it looks like he paused pledges again so i'm guessing no update for awhile? And more radio silence too
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-03 04:26:27 +0000 UTCTslojr, AJ, Adam, Roy and Ramune I couldn't agree with you guys more. But Shaffty mate voicing an opinion isn't trolling in the slightest, we are allowed to vent our frustrations when we haven't received an adequate amount of a product we are all funding, if you want to blindly follow him by all means but to try and white knight a conversation where people are simply voicing their opinion is ridiculous. Plus him doing this VN on his own is his choice, he has said himself he has control issues hence why we don't hear from McKenzie or that guy that tried to help when she disappeared but that didn't last long did it? You can't use the fact that BD works on the project alone as some kind of excuse, if he wants to do that he must be prepaird for the fact that it is all on him. Going radio silent all the time is the worst part of the entire thing, he will go radio silent for weeks/months and we're expected to blindly follow?

2025-02-03 04:11:21 +0000 UTCEach person is here because they want to and like the game, no one is obliged to pay the subscription and continue giving them money.
Robrth Tapia
2025-02-03 04:05:12 +0000 UTCHe shouldn't be frustrated with all the bank he's making in comparison to the amount of content he has released in the last two years
Adam
2025-02-03 03:50:05 +0000 UTChell yeah @Roy i agree with everything you said
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-03 03:37:50 +0000 UTCHaha that's funny. Two of my favorite creator's do everything on their own and release a full update on average every 3 months. The fact you say that to people that have no experience in making AVN's and try to insinuate that they wouldn't be able to do it either is a joke because of course they couldn't he has years of experience over the people your talking to. But hey wake up, they have just as much right to state their opinions as you do. If others opinions cause you so much stress maybe you're spend to much time reading others opinions that doesn't interest you.
Ramune
2025-02-03 03:32:35 +0000 UTCFirst of all Shaffty don’t try to censor people and tell them to shut up. We all have a right to voice our opinions here, and different from you we’re not trying to limit other people’s rights, and I think I speak for all in this chain (not sure so if other people here think differently please correct me if I’m wrong about this) but we would much rather have actual game content that we paid for and were promised than complain about another missed deadline. Second I absolutely could do what he has done this past year, I have zero experience in this, but I could definitely not put out a full episode in a year, I’m pretty sure most people could do that. But jokes aside you’re absolutely right I cannot “create a game/code/design something…” that is exactly why I (we) pay someone to do it and in return we expect said “game/code/design” in return, at the very least honest communication, responsibility and commitment, because if we had those I can guarantee 99% would not be complaining.
Roy
2025-02-03 03:30:04 +0000 UTCHey Shaffty,do people generally go out of their way to complain about something just for shits and giggles, or do people complain about something when it matters to them? To say the rest of us aren't invested because we complain, honestly that's one of the absolute dumbest things I've EVER heard someone say. If the game didn't matter to us, we honestly couldn't be bothered to walk across the street to piss on it if it was on fire. We've just given up on blindly supporting someone who honestly doesn't deserve it.
Adam
2025-02-03 03:28:14 +0000 UTCDon't get frustrated by the comments, just focus on the good and do your job.

2025-02-03 03:25:25 +0000 UTCTS amen was wondering when one of the sycophants was going to jump to defend him took a little longer then i thought
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-03 02:43:45 +0000 UTCEfforts/time/passion? Really? Effort, time, and passion? That's what you're going with? Is it his effort, time, and passion that's caused him to miss every release date he's set for the last 2+ years? Is it his effort, time, and passion that cause him to repeatedly lie about pausing pledges? Is it his effort, time, and passion that coincidentally cause his entire world to seemingly implode every time he gets close to a deadline? But I will say you're right about one thing; I'm not a dev. But I do follow quite a few. Including one who put out nearly as much content as BD last year despite living in an active fucking warzone. Also, let's not forget that BD originally said Episode 13 would release on October 31, 2023 and here we are in February of 2025 still waiting for it. But go ahead, continue telling the rest of us we're assholes for being disgruntled that this dude lies (or at the very least just pulls shit out of his ass) as naturally as he breathes.
tslojr
2025-02-03 02:15:22 +0000 UTCits funny how ya'll like to shit talk him when he is doing everything on his own. if ya want to talk shit so much then y dont you create a game/code/design something without the help of anyone and see how easy it is to get it done and get a fallowing. oh wait you can do shit but talk trash. either ya'll do the same and do it better or just get off this and shut the hell up. at least he is trying. what do you have to show for anything but trolling some ones efforts/time/passion and drive. if ya cant then please for the love of GOD, SHUT THE FUCK UP and let those who are invested in his creativity voice their opinions and concerns.
Shaffty
2025-02-03 01:49:47 +0000 UTCYou know what I can respect that 😂😂 I want to see that shit too but first we need to actually get the rest of ep13 before that.
Gavin
2025-02-02 22:38:09 +0000 UTCDude, I'm trying to get a thing going here!
tslojr
2025-02-02 22:37:10 +0000 UTCWhere are you getting that information from mate? To my knowledge that hasn't come from BD, that is something you said in the discord?
Gavin
2025-02-02 22:28:09 +0000 UTCThere's a very good reason he hasn't been active on the Discord: He's busy adding the Shauna/Azel scene for us!
tslojr
2025-02-02 22:06:54 +0000 UTCExactly mate, I couldn't agree more, all sympathy for him has gone. He needs to get in act together fast or quit but I can guarantee he'll milk this for every penny.
Gavin
2025-02-02 21:10:45 +0000 UTCyep i looked it up on graphtreon and its basically 84k-250k a year and for what? 2 hours of game play in 2 plus years so yeah its a joke alright but in the end we will be called haters and told to just shut up and or leave but what the defenders fail to realize is that all we want is a fair return on our investment and being told the truth
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-02 20:45:44 +0000 UTCReading that estimate actually just made me furious even if it is 7k a month that is 84k a year for what exactly? I work 50-60 hours a week sometimes 80 working my hands to the bone and I get no where near that amount yet this man makes that and has the audacity to go radio silent on us? And his die hards are still backing him up? What an absolute joke
Gavin
2025-02-02 20:37:28 +0000 UTCtrue Gavin oh i have said numerous times that he must be the unluckiest Dev ever bad luck seems to happen right before or on release date every time. I've decided to believe that "all the work" he said he's done the last two years is a lie and now he's scrambling to try and catch up but in the end all his done is fuck it all up and again there only one person to blame and that's BD and according to graphtreon he made an estimated $84.000 USD to $250.000 USD in 2024 and all we have is 3 maybe 4 partial releases we are not getting our monies worth in this investment at all and your right if any of us did this at our jobs we's be out of a job period.
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-02 20:31:41 +0000 UTCI couldn't agree more AJ, it's such a shame but how can someone have such bad luck every single time he is about to upload an update? It doesn't make sense to me. Now he is saying he is broke and can't pause pledges any longer but how is that anyones problem but his own? If I didn't deliver at my job they wouldn't still pay me, yes life gets in the way but for everyone else we can't do less than bare minimum for over 2 years and still get as much money as he does it's insanity.
Gavin
2025-02-02 20:17:54 +0000 UTCnot shocked at all his sycophants on discord and on here will defend and stand up for him no matter what they'll blame everyone else but the one who really is at fault BD himself cause for 2+ years his ego couldn't deal with someone else having the control to release the game it's his way or the highway and the game is suffering cause of him. he really needs to step away until he gets his head straight or this is what we all will be dealing with lies excuses and missed dates and broken promises at least if you pay a buck a month you get to watch this train wreck go boom so in the end there's some entertainment at least
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-02 19:47:32 +0000 UTCWell the discord has blown up into arguments, his die hard fans are still sticking up for him even though that would be 26 missed deadlines to date. He hasn't said anything in hours, at what point is enough, enough?
Gavin
2025-02-02 19:40:52 +0000 UTCMeh you aren't exactly charging us massive amounts so pretty much ignoring that tiny amount tbh. But i do hope it all will start flowing out soon. Atleast one and possibly two more updates before the mid of february. Going on a long ass vacation to late april so ye.
Greens93
2025-02-02 19:14:29 +0000 UTCI'm still dealing with things, animations are still rendering while I do so and E13 will be out as soon as it can. I am sorry for causing so much frustration and fully understand the criticism as it is valid. Refunds have been issued for everyone that has DM'd me, if you were charged and wish to be refunded please just send me a quick message and I'll have it sent straight away.
Braindrop
2025-02-02 15:48:19 +0000 UTC"I will have the partial update up as soon as possible, it should not be much longer." 24 hours later still nothing shocker lmao looks like its just the same thing over and over again. And 2025 is looking like 2023 and 2024 all over again

Adam
2025-02-02 05:23:55 +0000 UTCSo you unpause pledges for the promise of an update that sis still in development?🙈🙊🙉
Real612
2025-02-02 01:52:21 +0000 UTCAnd why would you pause pledges in the beginning of the month if you had no intention of following through with it even if you did miss the deadline. That just seems wrong and purposely misleading.
Roy
2025-02-01 22:50:44 +0000 UTCFrom a professional standpoint It makes no sense unpausing pledges when you repeatedly miss deadlines and leave us weeks without any proper communication. If this is your job you should take it more seriously, and have consequences for missing deadlines, otherwise there is no way you’ll improve yourself (and this is assuming all you have said the past year is the truth, which gets harder to believe with everyday that passes). I really enjoy your game when you actually release and hope you can improve but you have to have consequences for your mistakes otherwise you’ll have no motivation to improve.
Roy
2025-02-01 22:48:26 +0000 UTCIt's also kind of funny that he says he stays off of here or hasn't been on Patreon much sorry sorry yet any time someone talks about or mentions hearing talk about him being reported he is updating Patreon subscribers with in hours if not minutes. Coincidence I think not cause it happens every time. Which means that shows that he lies right there. Yet none of these people who are drinking the Kool aid can see it. Hahaha What do they call a group of people that blindly follows their leader without question?

2025-02-01 21:10:03 +0000 UTCthis is why i went from the second tier to the bottom tier cause this is what it's become over promise missed dates under deliver makes excuses and or lie welcome to the train wreck im here to watch when it goes nuclear
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-01 20:37:38 +0000 UTC@Theone Bingo thats why i pay 1 buck too to watch the train wreck go nuclear and your 100% right on everything you said too every release date for 2 years this is what i expect from him
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-01 20:33:49 +0000 UTCIt blows my mind that people are still trying to defend this fool. he spins lie after lie and a huge percentage of people in here buy into every last one of them! I gave up on waiting or expecting any form of professionalism but payin 1 buck a month is worth it just to watch this car crash unfold!

2025-02-01 20:29:10 +0000 UTCI was a subscriber for a while up until a year ago. Decided to resub last month to see what's changed. Surprise, surprise. Literally nothing has changed. Shit, we're still waiting on the Episode that we'd already been waiting on for 2 months when I originally unsubbed.

2025-02-01 20:26:57 +0000 UTCI don't know how y'all do it. I'm pretty new but after two "update comes out tomorrow, psyche no it doesn't" I'm already done being a patron.

2025-02-01 20:20:06 +0000 UTCWhat a joke. Develop a sense of honor or at least have the grace to give up if you can't hold yourself to a single promise in 2+ years

matt bryer
2025-02-01 16:42:41 +0000 UTCthats BD TS im not surprised at all keeping his word isnt something he's use to doing and again something happens on the day of release that prevents him from releasing the game and to top it off it's a partial of a partial and has anyone noticed each release has been smaller then the last too just BD being BD over promising and under delivering this loop will continue until he gets out of his own way but sadly he never will so this is what we have to look forward to missed dates and excuses and broken promises
Aj Whitacre
2025-02-01 16:39:15 +0000 UTCAwesome cannot wait for it just take your time I’m not in a rush
Glenn
2025-02-01 14:02:59 +0000 UTCBro literally went from "Pledges will be paused for the rest of the year" to "Pledges will be paused until E14 is out" to "Pledges will be paused until E13 is out" to "E13 isn't finished yet, pledges just got unpaused."
tslojr
2025-02-01 14:00:00 +0000 UTCGood news, Can't wait to see it all. A pledge is there to support during development.
DeadMan
2025-02-01 13:37:49 +0000 UTCi wasnt charged but even if i was i wouldnt ask for a refund from you BD, i love the game and would continue pledging without fail hope all is going well with you and hope you dont make yourself too exhausted and worn out <3
