Mind Drop #19 (04/13/2021)
Added 2021-04-13 17:01:26 +0000 UTC
Yo!
It's been a pretty standard week and there's not much to talk about so this will be a rather short mind drop. π
Game / dev related stuff:
- Full day 9 release is still planned for this month.
Admittedly there's a lot of work left. I'm adding in a tiny scene to spice up another scene, I have three scenes left to write dialogue for, I have 800 something images left to edit, I have 20+ animations made that I still need to compile and convert, there's an extensive bug testing that needs to take place since I've changed quite a few things within my script, and many, many more tiny things that add up into the chaos.
And I still have to balance my work flow with the near constant strain in my eyes. Don't get me wrong, they're much better than they were but they haven't really gotten any better recently and I'm about to schedule yet another appointment.
So yeah, still should be this month but I can't put an exact timetable on it as this side of the work is so hard to gauge exactly how long it will take and there's always a chance of something breaking or needing to be remade.
- No Alanah poll this week as I may have forgotten what day it was yesterday and forgot to make one. But it works out anyway since I've been laser focused on the update. π
Renders made this prior week:
New - 156 renders and 2 animations (and 1 remade animation)
Week 1 redo - 0 renders / animations. (Focus is on the newer content right now as I fell behind a few weeks because of my eye issue)
Personal related stuff:
- Nothing really to share again this week. But since there's a lot of new people around from this month alone I figure it's a good time to give a rundown of why the update schedule is in limbo as of late.
So real quick timeline of the bigger events of the last few months.
Found out I was going to be a dad, changed my entire release schedule, moved across states, and then had eye issues for multiple weeks.
Delays and all that certainly haven't been fun but they've been for good reasons. And I'll definitely take these sort of reasons for delays over what I went through last year. Everything besides my eye issue has been a super positive thing happening in my life and it certainly has changed a lot very quickly and sadly the game's schedule has taken a hit for it.
But I'm doing my best to do right by myself and family while also doing what's right for you guys so I've been pausing my pledges and being transparent about what is happening so I can't throw too many punches at myself over it. And you guys are about to get a 1000+ render update dropped on your head so while the situation has been shitty, I'm in a great place in my life and I'm excited about this update.
And I'm a super lucky fellow to have a community like this one that has had my back through it all. π
Yep, that's it for this week. Should have more concrete info for you guys next week.
I'll talk to you all then, love you and thank you guys <3
POLL: Not to spoil anything but there are many girl-girl relationships planned for WVM. (all optional) So, are you one who is down to share between the girls or are you one to keep them all for yourself? (there isn't a wrong answer)
Comments
I have no problem with the girls exploring each-other. As long as I'm the only man in the mix.

2021-08-17 16:07:05 +0000 UTCI dont share , My fave girl is Cedey.Cedar/Willow. Was from the day I saw her. this need to be on Subscribestar not patreon lol

2021-04-26 19:25:42 +0000 UTCi dont share
javik
2021-04-24 22:43:00 +0000 UTCBut with our two T-girls I can only see Penny getting involved with more then just the MC kind of hard to use it if you're trying to hide it.
james theberge
2021-04-19 01:48:02 +0000 UTCWell the MC already had a foursome with the cheerleaders, so why shouldn't he eventually get the whole harem into a reverse gangbang.
james theberge
2021-04-19 01:45:05 +0000 UTCShare?Β Yes, but you have to be able to choose for each girl. Currently, I classify the girls into 3 groups. 1. Jamie and Shauna (donβt touch, they are mine). I don't share (except during groupe sex with me and only girls; p). Shanna can have fun with Jamie, Jamie with Shauna. 2. Girls I have a relationship with (Stacy, Bailey, Natalie, Penelope, etc...). I share (but not all ;p). They can do whatever they want with each other. Some may have a respectful girlfriend or boyfriend. Prohibited from doing with their boyfriend what they donβt do with me (if they donβt have sex with me, they wonβt have sex with their boyfriend). 3. Sex only (Katie, Yen, etc...). I share with everyone. And why not threesomes, gangbang, etc... let's be crazy ... lol

2021-04-19 00:32:17 +0000 UTCDoes this chicken salad resemble the chicken salad that Azel made for the MC in any way?

2021-04-17 23:21:18 +0000 UTCthat salad sounds good.
Need_some
2021-04-17 00:14:46 +0000 UTCYeah I can give you an update on myself. I'm currently sitting at my desk eating a chicken salad. Taking a quick break after working the past 10 hours on the actual update. 'bout to get back to work. π

2021-04-16 18:40:19 +0000 UTCAs long AS its optional to share them i ain't seeing no Problem 2 Paths are better then 1 :)
FJSS
2021-04-16 11:53:59 +0000 UTCI do not mind sharing with the other girls, as long as everyone is consenting and one to enjoying, whom else should care.
Maknzy
2021-04-16 03:10:08 +0000 UTCSame here. I had figured I missed the notice of her hair style change. It is not that I dislike the new one, I just really liked the old style.
Maknzy
2021-04-16 03:06:55 +0000 UTCSo as long as content isn't forced upon and is optional then it's welcomed even if a particular fetish isn't your cup of tea? I love games that give you options if you want to pursue a particular path, or not. I agree when it's forced upon, it gets a bit annoying. I love when the main character can be seduced into something wrong, and I dislike when I always have to chose the right path. Sometimes, I want to be used by woman, and others times I want to make the right choice. Having that option makes it so much more fun.
Mike V
2021-04-15 18:35:02 +0000 UTCThank you so very, very much for planning to make such things optional. I'm happy others get that content if they want it, but so many games force it on players like me and practically ruin it. I was terrified that would happen with this amazing game too (cuddling and the like is perfectly fine, the emotional connection makes sense, just when it turns into non-optional sex the games loses it for me).
davidr6
2021-04-15 14:43:49 +0000 UTCI 100% agree. I've often felt more like I was taking advantage of BD than I've ever felt the other way around. Though not the baby picture. As someone who never wanted pictures of themselves out there, I am an advocate of not sharing pictures of kids publicly.
Advent Anunna
2021-04-14 19:16:46 +0000 UTClol I'm down to share as long as they are all mine and are sharing between each other :P

2021-04-14 16:44:09 +0000 UTCI think you have paused pledges more than any other Patreon I am aware of - and I appreciate your commitment to trying to keep your word and pausing pledges when you feel you have not. Please consider giving yourself a little more leeway in what you do before you pause pledges beyond your current commitment. The cost of hardware, assets, power, music/sounds as you choose to add them all add up, and this does not include your living expenses. I'm happy to be part of the community resourcing you as you create and I don't want you to be shorted the resources you need to best tell the WVM story. Please take care of your eyes, your growing family and, perhaps a year from now, share a baby picture of your newest family member wearing a WVM onesie :)
Pax
2021-04-14 08:55:59 +0000 UTCtry talking that way to most poly groups and find out how much they will tell you that even you SETTING it up that way is WRONG. but hey you do you.
Freki
2021-04-14 08:01:37 +0000 UTCI'm not going to get involved in the whole NTR thing... but if I lay out the conditions I don't want someone involved with anybody but me and they agree to it, then if they break with that it's on them. That's so far how the game plays out, so it's not really a matter of respect. Nobody forces them to enter the harem relationship, they're free to bow out.
Will
2021-04-14 07:48:23 +0000 UTCThis is a really delayed response but I'm totally with you. I loved her old hair.
Dipper Pines
2021-04-14 07:00:52 +0000 UTCAs long as the MC can stay the meat in a F-F taco salad I'm down! Been wanting Rainn to join Bailey with the MC along for the ride for a while now. No NTR though!
Hg0
2021-04-14 06:14:22 +0000 UTCI was thinking the same thing. I'd rather have the choice be optional as sometimes I just don't wanna' share, but then again, sometimes seeing Shauna and Jamie, or Bailey and Zoe together would be pretty nice, but then I'd also feel jealous, which is why I also chose the above "no sharing" option on the poll. Mine is mine.
Jeff Sandau
2021-04-14 05:59:17 +0000 UTCalright lets put it this way. you do that in a real live poly relationship and you will soon find you a very very lonely guy. most poly groups don't like it when they are denied what you "GET". it's just selfish. here in the game you are correct every girl except jasmin is single apparently. so no it doesn't qualify NTR. the key with NTR is the idea of cheating AND rubbing it in the other's face. the one pp club is just selfish and not my cup of tea if others let me see other ladies then who am I to deny them the ability to do the same? it's called respect.
Freki
2021-04-14 05:46:39 +0000 UTCI was saying I don't like other guys involved at all even if it's just implied. As far as I've seen in WVM all the girls are single when they get with the MC
gamersglory
2021-04-14 05:25:52 +0000 UTCI appreciate you keeping the girl-on-girl optional. I may be in the minority, but it's definitely something I feel is too often a "standard mandatory feature" in this genre. Nice to have a choice. And of course, I support different strokes for different folks.
Will
2021-04-14 05:17:59 +0000 UTCHopefully trans Shauna can have some fun with Jaimie the current threesome is pretty boring. Still lovely but.
Smoolio
2021-04-14 04:48:32 +0000 UTCCrimsonfiend, that is what i am saying NTR is not anywhere close to this situation. so many use NTR to make it about the ONE PP RULE and that is a very awful way to be. now how ever I feel that the MC wouldn't even mind if the girls had b/f's as well, and as long as it was discussed. This is how I see the personality of the MC to be.
Freki
2021-04-14 03:29:17 +0000 UTCBut it's specifically not NTR, as you (MC) would give your blessing for only a girl-girl relationship to occur simultaneously with the existing one going on with the MC and those same girls. As I understand it, you're aren't losing them to each other, they're still a part of the harem, just not dependent on the MC for love and affection.
Crimsonfiend76
2021-04-14 03:07:09 +0000 UTCOrdinarily I'm not one to share but given the size the harem has grown into, its not possible to devote enough time to them all...so sure why not, plus it's optional. My only question is it yes for all or can you allow specific girl-girl relationships to occur?
Crimsonfiend76
2021-04-14 03:02:47 +0000 UTCThey did and that's their choice. And you are well within your rights to allow or not allow them to fool around outside of the group, so to say. For me, I just find it hypocritical to ask someone to follow a different set of rules than I do. Just a personal preference, I guess.
tinmoosel
2021-04-14 00:55:30 +0000 UTCHow is it dickish to have your own interests and tastes? The girls knew what they were getting into. It's not like they're lying to each other.
Zyrus
2021-04-14 00:14:06 +0000 UTCI'm good with only sharing between girls but at the same time I really like spit roasting and I kind of hope one way or another I was able to achieve that with Penelope or trap Shawna but I don't know if that will ever happen
DeadRaven492
2021-04-14 00:00:24 +0000 UTCThing is NTR is not just oh the girl is with another guy. this is what ticks me off... this is a thing called the ONE PP Rule. and it's BS. NTR is a non-consentual, demoralizing act to go out and do other guys when it's not an explicit "you can see other guys" and then flaunting it in front of them. the idea that NTR is any other guy in the harem or in a relationship with a character you want to boff is not NTR what so ever.
Freki
2021-04-13 23:13:14 +0000 UTCIt's fine to share but all the girls are still MC's!
Rebelyon
2021-04-13 23:07:06 +0000 UTCMost people only care about NTR if there is another guy if it's just the girls and the MC is the only guy then normally it's fine
gamersglory
2021-04-13 22:28:37 +0000 UTCI don't want to sound like a dick or anything, but am i the only one that prefer Nathalie old look...especially her hair?
Mitsuru
2021-04-13 22:02:07 +0000 UTC@braindrop the idea of NTR has not been introduced in your game and you have specifically made it so that it wouldn't be. NTR means intentionally seeing others when there was no agreement to do so basically cheating, but usually in such a way to make it demoralizing to the one it's being done too. so honestly if the mc says they can see who ever they want to, that could be male or female and it wouldn't be NTR. sigh so many just want the girls for themselves so they create the idea that seeing any male outside of the relationship if it's allowed is NTR when it isn't. sigh

tyrm
2021-04-13 21:16:39 +0000 UTCI don't share and I won't for any of them I made an exception with Bailey and Rainn since they're my 2 favorite girls but only after a very long convo with you. Even then I might change my minds once it happens.
KryptAngel
2021-04-13 20:06:14 +0000 UTCThats what I'm hoping for Rainn is the original character I most want to see adult content with, Jasmine or Harper next followed by Skye or Veronica for some we've been waiting from the beginning others like Skye are exciting and new... I think speak for everyone when I if you pardon the sayin "GOTTA DO THEM ALL"
james theberge
2021-04-13 19:42:04 +0000 UTCBrain, Soon you will be a member of sleepless nights club (babies need feeding every 3-4 hours). And I too would like to see more Skye involvement
Solstorm
2021-04-13 19:29:07 +0000 UTCIt doesn't matter to me im good with anything and I am glad the girl and girl will be optional and not required because I would like to be able to choose if I want to share or keep them all to myself :)
Aaron Bishop
2021-04-13 19:26:50 +0000 UTCYes l hope the Skye participation in the storyline increases.
HotRod1227
2021-04-13 18:52:28 +0000 UTCI already pictured Bailey/Rain, Shauna/Jaimie, Zoe/bailey + others and Skye with with one of the girls and the MC. I like to think of Skye becoming the MC's other best friend after Shauna.
DeadMan
2021-04-13 18:46:29 +0000 UTCyes
Braindrop
2021-04-13 18:36:28 +0000 UTCwill this be optional? I wouldn't mind on multiple playthrus or something but I would want to have it case by case or at least a hard option to allow or not allow.
Cjewels
2021-04-13 18:33:56 +0000 UTCI'm fine with girls in the harem having fun with each other. I don't even mind them having fun with girls who aren't in the harem if it leads to them joining.
Wild Bill
2021-04-13 18:31:33 +0000 UTCNTR is NTR whether it's with a girl or a guy. That being said, given that you have a harem, it would be a little dickish of you to demand that the girls in the relationships are also only faithful to you. This is more of a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.
tinmoosel
2021-04-13 18:15:43 +0000 UTCI fully agree
JΓΌrgen Kellner
2021-04-13 18:11:47 +0000 UTCYes. it specifically says girl-girl.
Braindrop
2021-04-13 18:09:11 +0000 UTCYou were meaning girl/girl not ntr stuff, RIGHT?
SkinnGames
2021-04-13 18:04:28 +0000 UTCSharing between the girls will probably be a case by case situation for me, some im fine with sharing, others i want for myself, at least that's my initial feeling right now.
Englen
2021-04-13 18:01:47 +0000 UTCWe'd of course have to share Bailey with Rainn.
Hunter
2021-04-13 17:49:02 +0000 UTCI'm all for sharing every single girl... Except Bailey... She be mine.
SeethingMonkey
2021-04-13 17:41:30 +0000 UTCHave you checked if you may need glasses? Because if your eyes aren't fine anymore and they constantly try to compensate that, it's really exhausting for them and they start to hurt and you get headache.
Josua
2021-04-13 17:34:31 +0000 UTCI figured that i just stated i like the idea of the girls have relationships with the other girls in the harem but it leads to threesomes between the mc and and the girls
AceAssassinValley
2021-04-13 17:32:05 +0000 UTCWell from past events it certainly seems like Bailey doesn't mind group activities so anything is possible. π
Braindrop
2021-04-13 17:29:07 +0000 UTCI can confirm there will be absolutely no other guys involved at all. I hate that shit in games and would never put it in my own. π

2021-04-13 17:23:54 +0000 UTCYup, that's also my line of thinking
Mitsuru
2021-04-13 17:23:52 +0000 UTCI dont mind the sharing as long as its between girls in the harm and no other guys
AceAssassinValley
2021-04-13 17:23:40 +0000 UTCBlue light blocking glasses are a crock. Our eyes are designed for the blue of the outdoors and the screens do not provide nearly the same scale of blue light as the sun. I had the coating done to my prescription glasses, and as cool as they look when you see the blue light reflections in certain angles, I will not be getting them again as they are useless for my needs. I can sleep fine thank-you very much. (Blue light can affect circadian rhythm.) - I don't use screens in the bedroom so it is a non-issue. https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/are-computer-glasses-worth-it Everyone is better off getting a good monitor with excellent light response and color quality and use it in a properly lit room and taking a eye strain break every hour for a few minutes.

2021-04-13 17:21:12 +0000 UTCDon't like to share, but it's fine as long as it's optional π€·ββοΈ

2021-04-13 17:19:39 +0000 UTCI guess sharing not sure tho, but I'll be playing the game over and over, honestly I'm planning to do many runs see how it changes when the game's done
Anival
2021-04-13 17:16:45 +0000 UTCSharing is fine but hopefully after Bailey & Rainn hook up Bailey talks her into a threesome.
