Update on the update
Added 2024-05-17 06:16:07 +0000 UTCYo.
Apologies for the lack of posts, I've talked a small amount in the comments and in discord but I didn't intend on making another official post until I had this release out.
This is just a quick post to let you guys know what the hold up has been.
In the last post I said things would be out early in May, and in the comments I said this last Monday or Tuesday and both dates have come and gone.
The reasons for these delays are personal matters. I've been dealing with a lot of things both with finishing the update but mostly outside of developing the game.
I'm not trying to make excuses though, I haven't handled things well and I take full responsibility for the fact that this update should have been out months ago.
I do apologize for the wait and I apologize for any frustrations I've caused. I'm making a lot of the same mistakes I made last year but I'm not freaking out.
The update is very close to being done. I am working as much as I can and it will be out as soon as it possibly can be.
I do not think it will take this long at all but just to put it out there, if this update isn't out by the end of the month then pledges will be paused again.
And once again the update will be released to all tiers and former patrons at the same time.
I don't mean to look ahead, I'm fully focused on getting this update out but I do want to say that I intend to return to smaller but more frequent updates after this one.
I'm going to lock back in and that means I'll be silent until the update is out, so if you have any questions or anything then those will be answered afterwards.
Once again thank you all for your patience and understanding. I don't really deserve it right now but I truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful week and I'll talk to all of you soon!

2024-06-29 18:21:46 +0000 UTCI could be wrong but i'm sure we were also promised a sizeable update in the past and when it finally happend (way after the date promised) it was only a fraction of the size he said. Hard to believe much anymore

2024-06-29 13:20:43 +0000 UTCdidnt he say that before? and then turn around and claim he needed more time like i said before i'll belive it when i see it
Aj Whitacre
2024-06-28 16:01:35 +0000 UTCsupposedly the update will release Jun 29/30th and be bigger than the 800 renders but who knows

2024-06-26 12:57:33 +0000 UTCSo: no teaser, no info about the update and most probably no update this month... "Keep the good work 🙃"

2024-06-23 03:31:07 +0000 UTCWe should start an update release pool. Pick a month. I choose August 2025.

Eric V
2024-06-21 20:57:17 +0000 UTCIt's strange that every time i read a BD update i get a severe Deja Vu! At this stage he could just copy & paste previous updates as they are pretty much the same old story, suppose it is an update so can't complain too bad.
TheOneWhoKnocks
2024-06-21 11:10:21 +0000 UTCThanks for the update. I do know about discord and that you keep updating on it, but i honestly got no clue how to get it from this website + i don't really ever use it :P
Greens93
2024-06-20 18:23:02 +0000 UTCI'll expect the release the day its actually released cause as sad as is it to say i've heard this from BD before so i'll believe it when i see it
Aj Whitacre
2024-06-20 02:18:20 +0000 UTCquick tip: just because you haven't put a specific date for release. stating that "I'm on track to release before the end of this month, though no release date will be stated until things are ready." is effectively putting a date on it, people will now be execting it by the end of the month. So if you want to continue to not date your updates, don't do this.

2024-06-19 18:08:15 +0000 UTCI have commented on this before, his communcation is poor, when he does communicate he is upfront and frank about what is happening, i just wish the updates were a bit more frequent, he used to do dev reports every week, they don't seem to happen anymore. I'm not saying every update has got to be an essay, it could be 1 or 2 sentences, you could do that whilst on the shitter.
GD88
2024-06-19 17:58:06 +0000 UTCAppreciate all the work you put in and I hope you are doing well. You have been very transparent and your choice to not take money is very kind. I hope people are respectful of that kindness. Life can be difficult, I wish you all the best.

2024-06-19 17:53:16 +0000 UTCSorry guys, I've posted a few times in the discord but haven't been keeping all of you here up to date. Essentially, life stuff continued for a while but I kept progressing things with WVM every chance I got. Made me re-align some goals. Sometime this week I'll have an official post showing off around 10 new teasers from scenes I haven't teased already and that post will include new info about the size of the update. I'm on track to release before the end of this month, though no release date will be stated until things are ready. I once again apologize for the continued wait, life stuff is getting out of the way and it's going to be a good summer. Thanks for sticking around everyone, means a ton.

2024-06-19 15:49:04 +0000 UTCHmmm…I am very literate. I think you need to understand the basics of social interactions and quit perpetuating a lack of communication. All I am saying is even a few sentences stating the current state is enough to satiate many people supporting
TwistedLemonz
2024-06-19 12:58:37 +0000 UTC@Nic i dont see any questions on that comments... maybe the one who cant read its you.... Also, stop being a fanboy. I thing all of us have the right by now to complain about the update having a delay of 4 months. Btw, not all of us agree with this "going silent" method he has, its fucking bullshit and annoying since it tooks like 5-10 min per 2-3 days or even a week to write a single comment with a simple update.
Jonatan
2024-06-19 09:42:26 +0000 UTCCan't you read? Perhaps you need a tl;dr? "I'm going to lock back in and that means *I'll be silent until the update is out*, so if you have any questions or anything then those will be answered afterwards."
Nic
2024-06-19 08:11:15 +0000 UTCIt's become a constant theme now it seems
Aj Whitacre
2024-06-19 03:36:48 +0000 UTCAnd another month with no update...

2024-06-18 13:13:15 +0000 UTCHaving family issues sucks but the lack of communication is what really gets to me.

David Mitcham
2024-06-16 02:59:22 +0000 UTCWas it ''almost ready'' though? at this stage it's hard to keep believing the endless excuses. Shame because his product isn't half bad.
TheOneWhoKnocks
2024-06-15 19:06:54 +0000 UTCLo peor es que las actualización ni siquiera son largas, son muy cortas para que le tomen medio año, si me dijeras que es como otros creadores que toman 6meses/1 año pero están haciendo 2 juegos o sacan parches largos pues te lo entiendo, pero aquí ni parches largos ni nada
andy roberto pech valdez
2024-06-14 05:55:31 +0000 UTCI dont understand why he always delay a lot the releases, i could if he tell us almost ready AND take a month, cause bugs or Little last changes, but 2 or 3 months of delay when It was "almost ready" its ilogic
andy roberto pech valdez
2024-06-14 05:51:24 +0000 UTCthe real issue is he can't stop over thinking and stay out of his own head thats why he keeps delaying cause he keeps changing things with the update its just as it was last year. if he'd stay out of his mind and just try and not be perfect which is impossible to do no one is perfect this will keep on going and nothing will change
Aj Whitacre
2024-06-13 21:53:20 +0000 UTCI agree that we should def give him leeway if its family issues but the problem is that he has said this SO MANY TIMES that now it just sounds like an excuse, Would a job allow him to use this so many times without getting fired? I don't think so. Also It is fully possible to work even if you are having some personal issues. Work can even distract sometimes.
Filip
2024-06-12 19:44:54 +0000 UTCNever put a deadline on an artist? What world are you living in? :-D If they have a job that they're getting paid for, you can bet your bottom they have a deadline just as everyone else. That being said, BD disappearing for weeks at a time is something we're all used to by now (though I'm certainly not a fan of it). He hinted at family issues or some such last time he wrote so he deserves some leeway. Hoping we'll get some news soon though.
Knoddy Toddas
2024-06-11 20:41:02 +0000 UTCJust wondering how you are doing. Remember to take care of your self. Remember you are an artist, you never put a deadline on artist because then they have to rush and then they will never be happy with theyr work.

2024-06-11 14:58:54 +0000 UTCI just turned 55, I'd love the game to be done before I'm dead, with 5 months and counting since the last update, I'm starting to wonder...

2024-06-10 15:13:19 +0000 UTC"But he probably have other obligations that is more important atm that he has to deal with before he can actually focus on the game" I mean, this is his job... I wish we all had more important obligations than going to work every day. If you dont believe this and you are in this group of people that believes this product its a "hobby" and "he doesnt have responsibilities", please refer to patreon ToS: " What you create and share via Patreon is your product. Your community members are your customers. Your work is your product. You are not working for Patreon: rather, you’re working for you. We hope to make that as easy and as profitable for you as possible. You’re running your own business on a platform created and supported by Patreon. We want to help in any way we can, and at a high level, we can work to resolve a lot, but things eventually devolve back to you.

2024-06-10 07:28:02 +0000 UTCwell that's you're opinion's.
AlphaXNeganFWVM😈
2024-06-10 03:55:48 +0000 UTCYe i was wondering about the same thing. But he probably have other obligations that is more important atm that he has to deal with before he can actually focus on the game. Who knows really, but either way the update will be sick when it finally comes out^^

2024-06-10 02:12:28 +0000 UTChe may just stay silent till he drops the update really who knows?
Aj Whitacre
2024-06-09 00:24:19 +0000 UTCSo...when are we going to have new news about the update.¿?
AlphaXNeganFWVM😈
2024-06-08 03:56:53 +0000 UTCNo problem bruv, you've made an enjoyable game with a great storyline. It's worth a little wait.
StraightGhost
2024-06-02 22:04:20 +0000 UTCIt takes as long as it takes ;) You put out a good story line with good art and sometimes RL just takes a big bite out of our side gigs.

Donghammer
2024-06-01 20:16:21 +0000 UTCI mean, it's kinda normal see people asking for the next release in the latests posts since as i said before, release was planned for end of february... Just imagine how a recently subscribed user must feel if he started supporting BD and release has a 3 months delay...
Jonatan
2024-05-30 10:59:33 +0000 UTCliterally read the comments. People complain about everything. He gives deadlines because morons spam WhEEn Is tHe NeXt ReLeAsE and he feels like he needs to. This game updates significantly more frequently than others. go look at Icstor with milfy city. get off the dudes back about missed "deadlines"
Shawn T
2024-05-29 03:18:04 +0000 UTCPeople don't complain about waiting, people complain about he is never accurate with release dates. That's 2 different things. Also, not being accurate by 2-3 days its ok, but this last delay was more than 2-3 months since if im not wrong update was planned for end of February. Solution its simple, and many people already tell him: "Dont set exact release dates". Just give us a estimate progress report, and dont say anything about a release date until you are 100% sure you can handle it.
Jonatan
2024-05-28 09:53:30 +0000 UTCJust here to let you know we appreciate the work you do and have been thrilled with the result. People complaining about the wait would be 10 times worse if the product was rushed and lacking. Take your time, do not pause pledges and hopefully we get a group scene and some more side characters soon!

2024-05-28 04:09:14 +0000 UTCNo se, el porque se toma tanto tiempo en retocarlo y nunca suelta la update.. tienes razon Leon

2024-05-20 17:38:02 +0000 UTCWhatever you're going through obviously takes a toll on you and it is absolutly ok to concentrate on that. I don't think you need to apologise for that. At least you update the community and tell them that you need more time, instead of just staying silent like other creators do. Communication is key and you're doing it great!

2024-05-17 17:17:47 +0000 UTCGood afternoon, I don't know what you're going through, but know that even if you're repeating the same mistakes it doesn't mean you're getting worse, when we ask GOD for PEACE he puts us through trials that we have to go through to have peace, so what are you? passing does not mean that it is getting worse again, this shows that with small steps you will get far, take care of your longing and know that we are with you always
wesley fitness
2024-05-17 16:58:05 +0000 UTCThis would be nice if true. I've seen to many devs take 6 month or more to put out an update that had only an hour of play at best. Not setting an exact date is more common and 99% would never pause pledges. Very few have ever done this and Brain has done it more than any other.
DeadMan
2024-05-17 16:55:46 +0000 UTCSpeak for yourself settiing reasonable goals and expectations then meeting them is part of overcoming poor work ethic. Pausing pledges is a great way to show that he can hold himself accountable. Devs who take 8+ months release based on chapters and have much more content I would say hes around average in terms of volume per year.
RuarZ
2024-05-17 16:38:30 +0000 UTCKeep up the good work! Can’t wait!
Florida Man
2024-05-17 16:16:01 +0000 UTCYou gotta take care of you. There are a lot of other developers that only get updates out once or twice a year...some even longer. But you keep us in the loop and suspend changing us because you feel you've you've missed some obligation. You are putting out great work so don't feel like you need you suspend anything. Thing happen we all realize that...you take care of you and the update will come. We've got your back regardless.
RicoSwavey
2024-05-17 15:53:32 +0000 UTCYour well being is more important than the release. Please take care of yourself first. We are in it for the long haul
Kelltown
2024-05-17 12:43:21 +0000 UTCHow many times do we need to say, don't set dates or pause pledges. Life happens and even with delays you put out far more content than most. Actually games with this style of art are lucky to put out two or three a year and you do more than than that. So keep the pledges and get it done when you can.
DeadMan
2024-05-17 12:14:30 +0000 UTCBD you have an amazing game here i am happy to wait till the update is finished to 100% satisfied even if it takes ages and i will be staying here as a loyal patron no matter what, take all the time you need and i know you feel bad about pausing the pledges but thats not fair on you you do need to think of yourself too <3

2024-05-17 11:37:46 +0000 UTCDude, it's just a game. You're allowed to be human. You're allowed to have things happen to you and allowed to take time to process and deal with those things. Anybody that bitches about it ain't worth your time, and their money is worthless.

2024-05-17 07:48:17 +0000 UTCI used to stress over not getting a regular dose of WVM as you once managed. However, the 'game' is no longer that simple and I'm far more patient. Thanks for training me and I look forward to whatever comes out when it comes out, because I know it will be well worth the wait. Thanks BD.
Nic
2024-05-17 07:46:46 +0000 UTCTake the time to make it right! I'm still here and waiting as patiently as i can.... i was hoping to have it for while i convalesced but i'll take it when it comes out! :)
Freki
2024-05-17 06:55:54 +0000 UTCI always thought it was self first, family first or second and the rest comes after. You have to take care of any stress and come back to work after you have mind, body, and spirit on track as you need.
Colt50
2024-05-17 06:39:23 +0000 UTCYou absolutely do deserve the patience and understanding from the community you've built around this game. Personal matters always come first and most,if not all of us understand that. You're making something amazing and if that means we have to wait a bit longer for it,so be it,I personally don't care how long it takes between updates because I know it's all gonna be awesome when it's released. You're doing great,keep up the good work!
