Not good news for today

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well.

This isn't a post I want to make, the update will not be uploaded today. I feel absolutely stuck. I am beyond frustrated and I know all of you are as well and it is completely justified. And I've been saying that sentence way too damn much.

If you've been in the discord then you know I've been playtesting the E13&E14 update for a little over a week now. A lot of progress was made, 95% of the issues I had have been fixed.
But one issue remains and it's the same issue that has been plaguing me all year.

I don't like speaking on it too much. First because it creeps into spoiler territory and secondly, it adds to the expectation for the update and it exacerbates my issue.
But, there are two scenes that I just cannot find myself content with. Not even on any perfectionism anything. One in E13 and one in E14, though the E13 one is my main problem.
To very broadly explain the issue. There is a rework of the first season of the game in the works, this rework has minor changes to story elements and also has some building blocks and foreshadowing that just isn't in the game currently.
Some upcoming scenes are meant to build on those further and they reference some things that you guys have no idea about currently. It has been difficult to compensate for some of that, things don't hit the way I need them to.

So, I've altered the scene many times to try and better fit the current known timeline.
The first few times I remade the scene, I had convinced myself it was due to things like the setting or someone's design . Then it finally became about the actual issue and I just haven't been able to make it all click the way I want it to. I would alter it and think I finally solved it for myself and then 5 days later I'm loading it back up.
Which is what led to me saying fuck it and just working ahead onto E14.
It also didn't help that other scenes tied into the trouble scene so alterations to it also meant small alterations to others. Though those issues have mostly been solved by now.
I'd get to a point where I just have to work on something else, which is when I made things like some of the character sheets and when I would make alterations to other scenes.
There were many other things along the way including some nasty real life stuff but this has been the big problem.

The issue that persists through every change is that I am struggling to find a balance.
How far do I take things? How much can I alter about the new timeline and still have things hit the way I want them to?

It's a very important scene, it's nothing insane or crazy.
But it's a moment and a big building block for future things and it sets up some things that I know you guys have really been wanting to see in WVM.
I do my best not to take things too seriously, at the end of the day WVM is just a fun porn game.
But it's also something I've been working on for almost 5 years and it completely changed my life. This shit means a lot to me.

I've had issues like this before and I've gotten around it either just through enough alterations or time or stress to where things would just eventually click for me but it's just not happening this time.
I've told myself all month that things are locked in, I didn't let myself work on certain scenes at all and I honestly felt so fucking good about things and then shit started breaking and my confidence went away and shit just started spiraling and I'm just stuck.
I'm fucking mad, I'm going insane over this shit. I feel fucking stupid.


So, golden question. How do I fix this shit?

Truthfully, it's time for me to finally accept that I can't do this shit on my own.
I just can't, the scope of things has just grown past me. My life isn't what it used to be and with the new content, redo, side content, dev reports, daily trackers, trying to be the best family man I can be, trying to have a positive impact in my community, trying to have some sort of balance between work and personal life.
There's too many hats to wear and this brain can not hold them all. Trying to manage it all has just turned me into a shitty version of everything. I've tried to make things work but it's beyond me at this point and it is a disservice to all of you to let things continue like this.
Deep down I know that after this update things would be smooth for a while, but I have a good idea of when I might get stuck again and I just can't let shit get like this again. 

So, I'm in the process of hiring someone who goes by Dionyx.
There will be a better announcement in the near future, there are still some things that need sorted out but he's still helping me right now.

As some of you may remember, I had some help in the past from Mackenzie. And things didn't turn out great. That was not at all Mackenzie's fault, she did everything she could and I made her life hell for a while. Her role was limited and I was very stubborn and was very reluctant to give up any control.
(Also Mack is still around and helps out some behind the scenes. Just not in any official way.) 

Dionyx is someone who I've known in real life for a long time. He is someone I fully trust and we'll be working together in the same room. He loves the game and has the same philosophies as I do. WVM will remain the same, the goal is for the game to have the same exact vibe and for it to feel like nothing has changed.
They will have a large role in things, they will control the update schedule, give me essential feedback such as knowing when something is good enough, they will help with render work, help with side content, help with dialogue, be the main playtester, post-process images, post the daily tracker, and they'll be finishing up the code for a lot of the planned features in the rework. (Like the gallery, character viewer, and calendar)

My role will essentially be making the renders and animations and writing the script. I'll also still be the one writing the dev reports. And of course over-viewing everything.


So, what about this update?
I'm sorry but I do need more time. As much as I just want to get this all behind me, there is something I can not get out of my head for these scenes and I know I'm so fucking late and this shit should have been out forever ago. Even if it fucking blows, after a lot of discussion, we've decided that the best course of action is to split the update into episodes again.

Episode 13 (700+ renders) will be released August 10th and Episode 14 (1000+ renders) will be released August 20th.
I have 10 days each to make my peace with my issues and get things as good as I can.
Both releases will be at 3 pm EST and will be available to all patrons and former patrons (via discord) at that time.

On those dates, Dionyx will be uploading whatever is there for him to upload. It's out of my hands at that point. This is backed by others in my life.

I know 10 and in total 20 days is an insane ask when I'm this far behind. If either date is missed, pledges will be paused until 2025.

The daily tracker will be posted again during this time btw.

So, what about after the updates?
We'll be returning to small betas, with official monthly releases (first monthly release in Sept).
We'll be testing out posting betas exactly as they hit 100 renders, but that will be temporary.
There will be at least one of these in August or pledges will be paused for September.


Pledges will not be paused for August, so please adjust your pledge accordingly.
I fully acknowledge how badly I've fucked up and once again you guys owe me nothing and I owe you a lot. I have been quick to pause in the past and have done so often. Admittedly I very much want to pause this month as I absolutely do not deserve your money right now, at all. Especially after the events of this month. The only reason I am not doing so is because I am taking care of a lot of people and shit is rocky, I promise I wouldn't if I didn't have to. But things should be fine after this month. If the dates are not met I'll refund anyone that asks for one. (I would do all but idk if that's something possible on here or not.) Also if you're seeing this after the 1st, you're free to ask for a refund as well.

Once again I implore all of you to consider pausing your payments until things are back on track. Check back again in a few months and if things are smooth then re-pledge.
All of this update will still be available to you if you cancel as long as you join the discord or reply to my comment in the comments so I can send it to you in a message.


I very much hope this is the last time I have to make one of these posts, my apologies for the poor formatting and rambling. I just let myself go.
Dionyx isn't here right now or I'd have him add a section but I'm very excited about working with him and I think the help and just having a voice of reason along development will be a huge help.
I also finally intend to use some community playtesters for the monthly releases, I have some in mind but if you'd like to be considered leave a comment or send me a message!

That's it for this book, once again I am so very sorry for this mess. It's embarrassing, demoralizing, and just fucking shitty. It is fully on me, every issue was a reflection of some decision I made. You have every right to be pissed at me, I'm pissed at me too.

I hope you all have a good week, there won't be a dev report this weekend but there will be a post on the 7th just going over progress from this point and what not. And again there will be daily trackers posted in discord for the 2 scenes I'm working on starting tonight.
I really don't deserve you guys, I hope to start rebuilding some trust throughout these next few months. There's a long road ahead there.
Thank you all again so much for everything.

Not good news for today

That a very whole character. Looking forward to more on her

Carl Leodoro

andy, bro, it's 6 months later and we're still waiting for the rest of E13.

tslojr

That's bullshit tho. I want to keep supporting this game but you can't just keep taking the money and not releasing stuff. Pause the pledges, it's been numerous times I've had to pay with no release because I genuinely like your work and WANT it. But I shouldnt need to pay to support you when I am not getting the product I pay for. I will consider keeping my pledge but it has been several times now I've been charged without receiving a thing and that just isn't how this goes.

Jeebus McFunk

actually i do have a right to be a douche bag i dont know if you went to school or not but where i'm from we have this little pesky thing called free speech see it lets any american to say what they want or like to as long as it doesnt cause anyone any really harm so i'll keep saying whatever i like i dont live in england or europe or canada were theres no free speech so daniel as an american i'll use my free speech and say happily if you dont like what i wrote i dont give two fucks

Aj Whitacre

3 more days 😂

steven lewis

I'm pretty sure that ep 14 (1000 renders) won't SEE light off day in at leaste six months, he always said that he is working a Big update, got problema so he Will release a small part and rest Will be ready in a couple of days, this part it was suppossed to be ready around december

andy roberto pech valdez

can i get a 3-1 odds on the tenth going by and then getting a oh we'll get ep 13-14 together again at a pushed date lol

Lordsnow22

So who's running the book on this release? Want to know if I can get at least 2-1 odds on getting another Britney Spears "oops I did it again" tee hee post.

Adam

Roddy if the people who are paying him for his work aren't investors, then what are we?

Adam

hey at least this has come out

Daniel Sainz

If you use the terms "Snowflakes" or "Woke" as a legitimate insult/Argument seek help ESPECIALLY if you're using it just because someone doesn't agree with you. Because you clearly do not know how to think on your own and just use whatever buzzwords you can pull out of your ass to try and feel morally superior. You have a right to complain yes but you don't have a right to be a douche bag.

Daniel Sainz

Haters gonna hate. Fuck em; they know where the door is. Funny tho....cause they're still here 🤣 As a fellow artist who is also extremely self-critical and regularly rides that emotional rollercoaster, I can tell you mean what you're saying. And you own your mistakes. Publicly, even, which is stressful AF. You make changes and you give those changes time to work or not work. This is another BIG change you're making out of what is clearly a desire to improve (yourself AND your works). Your dedication and your passion for this is inspirational. You keep trippin...and droppin the ball...and gettin beat up.....but **what's more important** is that you keep gettin back up, pickin your shit up, and steppin back up to the plate. Most of these keyboard warrior cancel-culture crybaby bitches would've given up a long time ago. They see what they wanna see. Let em. I see ambition and determination on a level people like that can't even comprehend bc they'll never have the balls for it. MOST IMPORTANTLY: as long as your family is good, you're staying healthy, and you're still loving this project and having fun making it....the rest will fall into place. Nothin but love here, mah man.

ButterB22

Lmao man these comments back and forth are hilarious. I’m gonna sit here with a coke and a smile for what else is coming. Why wait for a release when you got comments to enjoy.

Michael Cook

RL comes first

RicoSwavey

Hey I new here how can I join the discord

Tyler Clark

@AJ I've never said i condone BD's business ethic, if BD had any investors, they should be all gone by now. But there are still people who donate to his cause, after all he's a one man band (and although thats never good) he does Graphics, set design, animation, programing (to mention a few) and he tells one hell of a story. but because he's failed your expectations you act like you want to destroy him. thats very narcistic of you. well let me ask, can you build an AVN of this caliber? can you do the graphics, set design, animation and programing? not to mention telling a great story???

Roddy Rodriguez

Dude, lol you can't hurt my feelings.... you sound like you're stuck in a bad marriage. the good news is you can always 'walk away'(there are plenty of AVN's to choose from). the bad news is, if you want a great story, you're gonna have to wait.

Roddy Rodriguez

lmao i got banned on Delay Drop's discord by one of his defending fanboys for telling a guy off after he attacked him damn majority of his subs are such thin skinned snowflakes lmao

Aj Whitacre

We just simply want product we all pay for, if you're fine with being fucked over for over three years straight then that makes sense but some of us want to pay for a subscription and reap the benifits of sed subscription, that's the entire point of the Subscription.

Drey

Roddy where have I demanded anything? I haven't demanded shit! I've expressed my opinion which I have as much right to do as anyone here! Your problem is you have his dick so far down your throat you can't see what's right in front of you! BD is an artist! A con artist? A piss artist? When/if he starts releasing content again we can see if he's an artist, until then I'll continue to give my opinion on his bullshit 👌

TheOneWhoKnocks

your probably right now thinking about it must have been spunk lol

Aj Whitacre

Keep slurping the semen fanboy

Adam

He’s a fucking assclown already

Adam

AJ I don’t think his mouth was full of ass…..just saying

Adam

Adam same here GenX i dont give a fuck about their feelings they all need to either grow a spine or a set or both and i'm leaning they need to grow both lmao

Aj Whitacre

sign me up and i'll take all the heat and you keep all the praise and money too lmao

Aj Whitacre

AJ I’m always ready for a scrap, I’m genX, I grew up telling people to go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut

Adam

I'm glad you like, wanna join me in this adventure...i won't be giving up any creative control though, we will release when i say and i may take your ideas onboard :)

GD88

fucking well said brother bravo

Aj Whitacre

lmao fucking tell em brother god i just thought his fanboys got butt hurt from us calling DelayDrop out but with what you just said adam its true their butthurt from him ramming their rear dry LOL hahaha

Aj Whitacre

Fanboy damuclees appears to have a sore bleeding anus. Maybe ask BD to spit on it next time instead of dry 🤣🤣. Like I give a shit what you think. There’s only 5 people in the world who’s opinion of me matters, and guess what cupcake you don’t fucking matter 🤣😘🤣🤣

Adam

FUCKING LOVE THIS

Adam

OMG GD88 best one ever so fucking true PREACH

Aj Whitacre

oh keep kissing his ass fanboy i use to be here for the game until BD started his constant lies and fake excuses now i'm here for the train wreck that BD created by his own doing are you so drunk off his sperm that your just willing to get fucked over month after month for almost 3 years well good for you simp you must be use to getting walked over in life i warned you all about coming at me and that i still had venom want to keep trying i'm being what i consider nice i can be very cruel if need be so try to me i dare you and i was here paying 45 bucks a month until the basketball game that i like to refer to as the great B-ball debacle i knew then that this is how he was going to be so now i pay a dollar a month since the b-ball game but like car accidents i just cant stop watching the shit show that he created bitch boy and oh one other thing this is what he averages a month WVM is earning $8K - $23K per month on Patreon and just this april he made over 17 grand please remind me was there a game release? or just more fake ass tired old same excuses? i'll wait ..... so yeah we get pissed and angry when he's making bank off of people and not giving anything in return and he just made over 18 grand for the month of june of this year so he made 18 thousand dollars this past month for what to tell us the game will be out then turn around and say sorry my bad it'll be out in ten to twenty days into august yeah if you believe it will be your more naive or just more stupid then i thought you were. And it was going to be a full release only to be told oh no i have to break it up again even though i said i wouldn't do that so now he has a built in excuse for this coming delay it doesnt work for him having them released apart so ill have to delay again to find the right way to release them together or something close to this will be what comes next from DelayDrop

Aj Whitacre

BD does Great Work! Thats why YOU'RE still here.... Your problem is you demand that he stick to a delivery schedule, and like i've said before, BD is an artist and doesn't want to release something he is not satisfied with. So.... if you can wait, you WILL enjoy.

Roddy Rodriguez

Well if you got money to spare, i got an idea, £/Є/$20 a month, it's gonna take 5+ years i will promise there will be updates on the release dates i set, only to change the story the day before publishing the update, go silent for a week but only then i will let you know that its not coming out for whatever bullshit reason i fancy at the time (i may pick an excuse out of a hat), promise it will be next week, rinse and repeat. I will deliver something that you want though. Sound good? Good. I'll create a patreon and will be looking forward to your support, that goes for anyone else who is happy with the way BD conducts his business.

GD88

Drey i think he just got done kissing BD ass and his knees must be really sore imo but i'm done playing nice with these kiss asses and just block em they arent worth the time

Aj Whitacre

oh look its his fanboy defender oh did you smile when you finished kissing his ass im guessing your knees must be really sore too

Aj Whitacre

i totally agree TheOne and oh no look out were being attacked by his defenders and hey jackass did you read my post??? were i said ive been with BD for 3 years and my being pissed at his constant excuses stem from hearing from them for 3 years and i use to pay 45 now i pay 1 dollar and we have a right to call out his shit i was here when mack walked cause of his control and her realizing she had no say in anything but he wanted her to take the heat so just keep kissing his ass Dam

Aj Whitacre

Its people like you and comments like these that make BD feel like he can keep making bullshit excuses for YEARS now about making ACTUALLY fucking progress on a game we are all paying for and i did read his post, we all did, did you read my comment though? if you did then still decided to respond to me then it seems you just wanted my attention in which case...Hello Damuclees, nice to meet you and hope you have a good day.

Drey

I like how you think you're doing something, but you're just lookin' like an ass that creates problems for themselves. If the delays is such a huge deal for you, stop pledging and move on with your life, return in a couple of years and see if anything has changed.

Damuclees

Did you read the post? He's literally saying he's getting help. I swear some of you people just make comments without actually reading. And if you think it's a waste of money and time, stop pledging. You are creating this money problem for yourself.

Damuclees

See the thing is, if I cared about the amount of money I give and he didn't deliver what I wanted, I would stop giving him money, something you people clearly can't understand. You. Are. Creating. Problems. For. Yourself.

Damuclees

Then stop pledging like he urges you to do. You yourself are creating a problem for you. If all these missed deadlines are such a huge deal, stop giving him money.

Damuclees

Did you read the post? He is doing something about it. The only way he can take peoples money is by you yourself giving him that money. You are the creator of your own problems. The work he has done so far is great.

Damuclees

Holy shit you two are insane. This isn't "woke". If you're that unhappy just stop supporting him. People still believe in him and his vision and what is here, is indeed great work.

Damuclees

Reading these posts praising him, telling him how well he's doing is almost as frustrating as the bullshit excuse posts he's become famous for. We all have shit going on in our lives but you get up, wipe yourself off and get the fuck on with it! If you can't sort your shit out then shut shop and stop bullshitting and taking people's money

TheOneWhoKnocks

Preach Brother these people live in a fantasy world or something or they've become so woke they are not able to call bullshit when they see it

Aj Whitacre

All these "keep up the great work" posts are an absolute joke! What great work? It's delay after delay and excuse after excuse yet most of you seem to support this and praise him which is just bonkers to me! I can't even give BD credit for coming up with fresh excuses anymore, he has reached the end of the excuse book now so just recycling old ones. Wake up people!!

TheOneWhoKnocks

Hey treasure, what's uncalled for is fanboys enabling his bullshit, and terrible work ethic. When are you going to wake up, if he actually put in a quarter of the work he says he does the game would be damn near done.

Adam

Was going to say the same thing.

Slayer

Yes, he has owned up to it EVERY time, but has continued to show that he doesn't learn from his mistakes/experiences. Again he has given release dates, but this time saying its out of his control, it will be released as is by another regardless of its state, well why not do that now...i don't understand that if you can do it in a weeks time, why not now. You are retroactively changing the story, why not change the Ep13/14 issue at a later time, i don't know, maybe when you release the re-work. it's been plaguing him all year, but has still given release dates when he full well knows he will not release and give the same bullshit excuse(s). When it comes to pausing pledges i have always sided against pausing, Patreon is a support platform, so as long as he is working on the game im getting what i pay for, does this mean i will continue to pay what i do, no, i will be dropping my pledge, will this change anything, no. Pausing pledges does nothing its a temporary fix, it's like slight of hand, a distraction, plus, he earns a shit ton of money a month that one month here or there is fuck all for him.

GD88

whitney how many times does someone have to apologize before you realize its just words and he doesnt mean a damn thing he says stop feeding into his constant fuck ups cause its people like you that have allowed him to continue with this bullshit ive been here for 3 years and have seen this over and over and heard the same excuses over and over thats why i went from 45 to 1 dollar now i wont continue to put mass amounts of money is his pocket untill he has gained back trust which is going to take a very long time besides if your paying for a service or product which WVM is. and keep being told it will be ready this date then week later oh sorry it wont be ready for well over 3 years you have a right to call their bullshit out

Aj Whitacre

i'm with you Adam Preach brother he needs to hear the brutal truth not bullshit praise like these fanboys do

Aj Whitacre

THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR he has owned up for it every time and has paused pledges many times if you dont like it then stop pledging cos i dont think it really matters if a person who acts like you just have isnt here anymore on a side note BD love your work and keep it up im glad your getting help since you have been having troubles hope all goes well with your rl things too

treasure whitney

Another big long I fucked up, apologies, but I'm taking your money again. What a damn joke already. Can tell when you're full of shit, you're typing. As for rebuilding trust, look at the comments, YOU screwed pooch on that one. You seem to think you're Brittney fucking Spears with your "oops I did it again" bullshit posts. Control freaks never give up control, I honestly feel sorry for the poor fuck who's going to be working with you. You're going to make his life hell. Your fanboys on here all seem to line up nicely so you can pound them in the rear without the common courtesy of a reach around. I've noticed there's finally people that your mob can't silence, they're calling your bullshit out.

Adam

Considering the graphics of this game and how much better the graphics in this is compared to atleast 9/10 games out there it's bound to take way longer time and have way more issues. That being said it's good to know that there isn't much left although it might take time to fix it.

Greens93

The basketball game all over again... sort of... can't wait though..

AlphaEcho

im just happy there is a report this time if im being honest not happy waiting but i can live with it its not a big deal to wait a little longer at this point its radio silence that bugs most of us on here (at least for me for sure)

Austin

You'll be fine. If you want to feel better, just make some more pics to give us. Like you used to. It's towards the end of summer. Some pics with the girls in beach settings. Maybe playing nude sports on the beach. 😁 Maybe some bikini or lingerie fashion shows with the older women. Also the holidays are soon approaching. Some kinky Halloween stuff. There's plenty of stuff you can give us in between updates and uploads. Like I said. You'll be fine. You're doing better than other devs that stay quiet for months on end. 👍👍👍👍👍

Pablo Estevez

I think its time to do the rework of the first season if its stopping u from making the scenes and adding to the story you want because it doesnt add up with the story we have now. This would fix most of what you have a problem with.

MrWiki

Amen Brother Preach

Aj Whitacre

Brother its time for tough love no more praising him like others do what are they praising his monthly delays and lies its time to be tough and give the honest truth

Aj Whitacre

You're Doing Fine, Your game is amazing, and it shows your dedication to it. You have every right to take your time, this is your masterpiece. Keep up the good work.

Jonathan Henry

2025 update incoming 🫡 Taking bets on this vs yandere sim

Squash

First, dude, ease up on yourself! The quality of what you've produced so far speaks for itself. Anyone who would prefer a half-assed update just for the sake of getting an update is an idiot. This is the nature of game development. I will go months without playing games with monthly updates, and I've also learned (the hard way) that I should wait to play "Early Access" games on Steam until they are closer to completion. The reason is because I REALLY dislike having to restart a game because of changes made to portions previously released, or when they change the game engine. I have limited free time and I loathe having my time wasted like that. So do what you have to do to make it the way you want it to be. Most of us will still be here. Second, to the complainers, no one is making you pledge each month. Pull your pledge, if you wish, if you're unhappy with the progress. That's your prerogative. But bullying the man into releasing something that is not ready is not good for anyone.

jester59388

Another post, Another excuse and Another reason for your audience to dislike you, this is stupid and childish, we are PAYING you to work on a project that YOU created, that YOU made people interested in and that YOU allowed to fail due to your lack of progression, stop posting updates and post releases of the promised game, sure you're not keeping us in the dark anymore but what's the point of a new post if it's just going to be the same "Oh i fucked up, i suck, ill release it on insert furture date" just for that update to be the same copy and pasted message. DO Better, get the game out, GET HELP WITH THE GAME or just stop wasting everyone's time and money and delete the project entirely. Side note, still cant belive when he BD came back he offered different newer, higher paying teirs even though he has never been consistant, correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure i saw a tier that said "100 a month" for a subscription...like bro..there's no way you're asking for more money when you havent even earned the thoughsands you're getting off us. what the actual fuck.

Drey

PREACH BROTHER.

Drey

I know some of these guys said take your time, but honestly that's kinda bs. The problem is this is a paid job and all paid jobs require steady consistent progress except an emergency situation. At no time outside of that, should a person be paid for not working. Life doesn't work that way. Not only have you kept subs for many months of delivering no progress, but there hasn't been progress in what, 2-3+ months and very low over 7 months. You don't lose subs on a great game by using a placeholder, workaround, or scene that will change, especially on a known rework in progress. You do lose subs to failing to make numerous June and July deadlines, then on the final put off day today, saying 20 more days for a scene you admit isn't important. That means either: you're making so much off not doing work, you can afford to lose some subs; or you just take excessive periods of no work while claiming you are; or you're riding this out then quitting. But you know you'd save more subs and keep 98% of them subbing even if the work has a placeholder or work around in place, so long as you put out the steady promised content consistently at the release date each month; and yet you continually do not deliver. Obviously those of us who have lived long enough to not automatically take everyone as honest without justification, especially when that someone keeps being disingenuous with his subs, we find the continual choice that hurts you the most, to show that you are not getting the work in to have the content progress stated, or you'd release it to keep subs and the most money. I really do like the game, and have subbed off and on for quite awhile. I would have the entire time had you been honest with us, but you're not doing that and it's unfortunate, as honesty and integrity are the 2 most important things a person has, because they define you, and they can not be taken from you. You only lose them by voluntarily giving them away.

Ty Johnson

Keep getting an error responding.

Ty Johnson

Hmm

Ty Johnson

just wondering what great work your talking about?

Aj Whitacre

Ty Johnson

Glad you are getting help if you are and will allow them to help. You have an amazing game so far. It is a game though, and we all know a rework is going, so I don't see any justification to put off 20 days what you said would be out multiple dates in July, with the final one no later than today. If it was a final product, I could see hyperventilating over it to some degree, but not with a known rework. It honestly comes off like dishonesty about progress while intentionally misleading. I'm not saying that's what you are doing, I'm saying some see that as a possible or likely reason behind this repeatedly happening. You're very good and insanely popular, you make a lot of money. I do not see any viable situation where people would be upset with you or unsub, over a rework related scene. I do see people dropping repeatedly over missed deadlines though, lack of content and lack of honesty. But you know that as well and yet it keeps happening, which also looks like your content is not getting done. Content beats all, even what you do not consider it a 10 on content. Just food for thought with the hopes it helps you. I'd be glad to test for you as well.

Keep doing what you are doing. You make an amazing game. Everyone goes through stuff like this. You’re doing great. Keep up the great work and stay positive. Your amazing.

"I really don't deserve you guys, I hope to start rebuilding some trust throughout these next few months. There's a long road ahead there as some of you may remember, I had some help in the past from Mackenzie. And things didn't turn out great. That was not at all Mackenzie's fault, she did everything she could and I made her life hell for a while. Her role was limited and I was very stubborn and was very reluctant to give up any control.." and how will that change now you've admitted to not being able to give up control so you bring in a new person just to piss off and have them walk too at least your constant with your excuses and apologizes but like everything else out of your mouth or typed just seems hollow and fake. you know why you keep fucking up but you keep doing the same shit over and over again having help won't matter unless your willing to change and you've proven you can't and wont change which is sad cause till you do the game will suffer cause of your excuses and poor work ethic oh and it wont be the last post like this cause your history has shown that this is who you are and how you work i've been nice and supported you for well over 3 years but am fed up with your lack of understanding or care for the community you've shown you only care about yourself and have made it clear in another post when you said you make WVM for you so from here on out i will call you out on ever bullshit you say or do and to anyone who comes at me try it i have plenty of venom left in closing get your shit straight or get out of the way you've become the problem

I hope she’s not a aunt cause she is 🔥😍

Smells like a September/October release

Okey....this is progress at least. What i would do (only knowing the information you have given here), i would put a warning ahead of the two scenes in question (something like: This scene is a placeholder and will be changed in minor or major ways when the rework of previous chapters are done) and then have those scenes be anything really. Since those scenes are meant to be changed anyway, why focus so much on them? Just make something that is a passible placeholder and publish the rest. We are all aware that this isnt a finished product, so no one would be mad about that. Remember that you as the creator have every right to change anything you want later after publishing. If you do not want to spoil anything it could even be a black screen with text explaning things in a non-spoilery way what the scene is in broad terms. Constantly delaying updates are much more damaging and frustrating for your audience in the long run. If the new timeline causes you this much trouble when making updates, i would also probably recommend you finish the rework before you do anything else (after episode 13 and 14 is out). Just my opinion :)

Buddy, I'm in for the long haul. I'm too invested in this story to give up now. Others can complain about delays, but I'm not one to sit and angrily count the days since the last update, or the days and weeks until the next. It takes what it takes, don't overthink it. I'm sure EVERYONE can find something in their life to distract them while we wait. I see some people have concerns about their membership and that's understandable. To be honest, my other habits and vices cost far more than my contribution to you. But if complaining and cursing you gets their blood up, they should just quit. Of course, those people will bitch about what I just said... I hope things work out and you get the support you need. I can't even imagine what it takes to develop a quality AVN. I don't have the patients or dedication, that's why I enjoy your work. Just don't burn out. Take breaks when needed. Good luck!

Richard A Budihas

Hey. I'll write it again, work calmly and when you decide that the update meets your expectations, you'll send it to us. As for the money, I have no problem with it not being suspended for another month. I know how hard you work on the updates and I'm waiting for them calmly. Work calmly on this update. Good luck.

Maciej Jędraś

I was going to suggest this, or maybe a brief 'flashback' to the content we'd see in the rework. The flashback could be removed, or not, depending how noteworthy it is during the rework (i.e. is it something a whole scene is devoted to, or something said more in passing) and how critical it is that players remember exactly what was said/happened.

A Platypus

first let me say we love your game and are not going anywhere. now for my idea, if we need scenes to get it but to finish the rework would take too long it might be a good idea to "temporarily" add those scenes we will get in the rework. this will get us up to speed and allows you to make the scenes how you want them

Debes

Congrats on finally getting someone to help you out!!! So happy for you in that regard :-) Well done, truly! I know how much you have wanted to keep all controll yourself. Really really good. As for the delay (and the other delays...) well shit happens. It's not good, but the other key thing that you need to work on in this regard is information flow. Even if it's just to say that you are stuck and not in the place where you want to be, that's all good, as long as you feed us the info. When you go silent and we don't know what's going on and release date after release date go by, that's when we start getting annoyed. So information! Go go go! :-)

Knoddy Toddas

For getting over this block - is the change something you could add some explanatory text to the game to address? Something temporary until the rework is done. Eg, the narrator takes the player aside and says "this event references something that is being added/changed from the early story. Here is the information you need to know for it to make sense." It might also be time to just do the rework. If you're having problems like this now, they're likely to get more frequent as you continue adding more content to the game without completing the rework.

SantaTheHutt

ok, there is an easy solution to resolve this problem, take a break for a couple of days, get a fresh mind, then when you come back, you will find the solution to your issue!!! Let it totally alone for a couple of days!!! We love your game and i am sure it will come soon, so do not worry, we are patient!!!

Oli Giele

I would say set the updates to match the rewrite for the game. Any other way won't make sense for new players and you would have to fix it later for the rewrite. So go by the rewrite and as Larry would say "get R Done"

DeadMan

amen there its a lock that its all bullshit from him

Aj Whitacre

I would've bet $500000000 that I don't have there was going to be yet another bullshit apology post and no update. It's easy to tell when he's full of shit, he's typing

Adam

knew it not surprised anymore same old tired excuse from him take our money but give nothing in return this is becoming a fucking joke you know its been months to almost a year but lets keep pulling this shit. your the reason people have no faith or trust in anything you say fuck i wouldn't doubt that you haven't done shit but make excuses get your fucking head straight and stop making lame ass excuses and just release it total fucking bullshit needs more time cause i just cant keep getting out of my head but i'll take your money bullshit no faith or trust in a fucking word you write like i said i doubt you have anything to release cause if you did you'd release it just to shut up the ones calling you on your bullshit but you refuse to so that only means nothing has been done period but make up lame fake ass excuses and apoligies

Aj Whitacre

If the rework needs to be done to get the current content, then the rework is what needs to be focused on. Don't let WVM cause issues regarding your mental, emotional, and physical health.

Smccracken7428

If the remodel of the game is causing all the problems I would suggest stopping the new content and finishing the remodel. Then most if not all of the problems are gone.

Kicker75

Lol called it

steven lewis

Apparently I have been tagged as a "fanboy" by some rude ingrate. I'll live with that as I wait for your update. Good luck BD.

Nic

I completely understand you having issues still, but I am so happy you have someone to help. Sure I would love to play the game again, but I want it to be right for you. Best of luck to both of you to get over the issues.

UncleLoco

WVM was the first game I ever played. This project is also very important to me. I think it's good that you're getting help now, better late than never. I look forward to future updates and your collaborative work. I'm sure everything will be fine. ❤️

Fluo

WVM is one of the best Porn games around. Personally I'd rather have the wait for a more fleshed out update than a rushed buggy janky one. Keep your head up I, amongst others I'm sure, am excited for more and more content. Idk if you have ever mentioned this or not but do you have any intention of putting your game on steam?

The Heindsight

Dont get all work up about having issue… im still supporting. And btw for a suggestion i would tell you to kiss (keep it simple). Getting help is a good idea and try to keep the fun in doing wvm. Its important as a creator to have fun or else you put to much pressure on yourself. Look at other creator (doctor pinkcake, digib, océan) they take as much time as they need to do there update. Think like them, dont put all that stress on yourself. Yes they do more advanced game and I dont compare them to you in technical term, but they have thé right mindset. And wvm is différent and thats good. Anyway keep up the morale and the good work.

Eric V

I’d drop the update and roll with it, if it needs to be fixed later, then do it later. Got to give people something even if it’s not what you’re comfortable with. But that’s just me.

Michael Cook

Don't get yourself too worked up over things, my guy. I know this game is important to you, but perfection is hard. Sometimes you just gotta let the fall where they are and try to make up for it later. Getting yourself too bogged down now will affect how things turn out later on. The best part about dealing with future problems is that you have time to deal with them, so try not to sweat things too much. Looking forward to what you have to show, either way!

Ish My Ale

I have been watting for the final game to be finished so I can play more of it whats going on

Phill Nealson

I said It, he Will give us an small update, promise release the rest soon but he wont release It, its always the same, promise a lot of content, got delayed a few times And release just another crappy small update, im fucking tired of the same shit, the game is awesome but after this update im out, 2 years and only around 30 minutes of game

andy roberto pech valdez

Appreciate the transparency and the fact that you have a plan. More than willing to wait another 10 days for you to feel more comfortable about the content we receive. If you need android play testers, please let me know.

Max

What I think is important is that you have a plan of attack and that it incorporates someone irl that will be in the same room as you holding you accountable. I like that he will be releasing the episodes regardless of how happy you are with them. You can always keep tweaking them and upload it as a bug fix later. If the reason you're not happy with it is reliant on the rework of season 1, then maybe the best course of action is to make it make sense with the current timeline and tweak it after the face and release the new version when the season 1 redo is released, most of us will probably replay the whole game when the redo is out anyway. Also if you need some more playtesters, I might be interested, depending on what technical knowledge is required or if it's just things like typos and such

Walter Stout

I appreciate your honesty and I get it can be difficult. I’m glad you’re reaching out to someone who can offer a second opinion I think that will help tremendously! I’m committed to this game and absolutely love it so I’m not going anywhere. Your stuck with me 😂. With that being said I’d love to be a tester! I’m very good about giving honest feedback. I pick things apart and will tell you what I think is good and what could use work but I’m very open minded and try to be neutral and not let personal preferences affect my suggestions. So I’d definitely love to be a tester for you!

Florida Man

I’m just happy you aren’t doing it alone anymore. I myself am a perfectionist and know how frustrating it is when you get stuck in your own head, but having someone there to give you that little nudge is great. So I’m looking forward to what’s to come and wish you both good luck.

Oscar LeMiastre

I’m sad about the news but I’m really glad you have come to terms about needing help it’s the hardest step so I’m confident you will only improve from now on and you can start to feel good about yourself when you get the updates going like you want you deserve to feel some good things I know what it’s like to feel like your describing but am really proud of you for reaching out for help can’t wait to see what you guys are gonna cook up ♥️

Marcus Paulsen

Have fun with it man can’t wait for the update but fuck pausing my pledges it’s a game I want to grow, me pausing my pledge because things aren’t going well aren’t gonna help with you being able to do this and get it right for us I know people are frustrated but I actually find it quite nice that you care enough not to just put out some broken update to please people looking forward to the future, your not a triple A company I don’t expect you to have no issues even the companies can’t get shit right so in my books keep doing what you are doing. ❤️

Ethan Cox

Reply to this comment to have the update messaged to you if you intend to cancel your pledge and have issues with / don't want to join the discord.

Braindrop

Should just drop ep 13 just so we can progress, perfect or not perfect.
