WVM S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 13 B5 + DITLO Harper Rus/Eng (2020) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android] [Braindrop]

I apologize for the lack of posts or communication here on Patreon / SS this month.
I ended up coming down with the flu and while I was struggling through that I had a surprise party being organized by my organs. By that I mean I had an appendicitis.
Got the operation, spent a few days in the hospital, went home and ended up having to go back the same night due to some complications.
Also ended up with pneumonia and I was held in the hospital for a long time while I was recovering. It was by far the sickest I've ever been and it lasted forever.
I've been home for about a week now, still recovering but finally getting noticeably better. Finally able to move around for more than 20 seconds at a time.

I don't have access to the patreon / SS on my phone and I was stuck in the hospital so I was unable to post anything here. Due to me being sick I told Mackenzie to stay with her family through the holidays so she was also unavailable to update you guys. (She will be back on the 29th or 30th)

But anyways, I'm back.
I'm doing what I can right now, my energy levels are still garbage and I'm still bed-ridden for most of the day but everyday has been better.
The update will be out the moment it is finished, luck has been in the dumps lately but this will not be a repeat of this year.
Due to everything that happened, all of my holiday plans were scrapped so I'll just be spending Christmas with my immediate family so there won't be any big slow down for the holidays outside of the 25th.

I know things aren't going very well right now but trust me, I didn't want it to go down like this either. Recent events were out of my control but it wouldn't be as bad if I got the update out before. Due to the sickness and also knowing a lot of people are upset, definitely not feeling too great right now and kind of just want to lay in bed but I'm not going to go down that rabbit hole.
The only "solution" is to get this update out and then follow through on my goals for 2023.
I'd like to speak more about what those goals are but it feels pretty trash to talk about the future when the present is late.
There's been more text in these posts this year than text added to the game and that can't continue.
Going to get back to work now, I may post a client poll or something else soon but I'm going to get this update out as soon as I can without killing myself.
There may be a post like a day before the update comes out just so there's at least a little bit of a heads up.

Sorry for the delays.
Hope everyone has a good end of the year.

out I did have the flu and got pneumonia, coughing a lot and it fucking hurts.
I'm finally starting to feel better but my ass got kicked.

Didn't mean to go dark and intended to update as soon as I felt better but things got fucked and I didn't want to say anything until things got better.
There's always people that assume I'm evil and lying and gotta say the last thing I wanted to do was read that shit while laying here feeling like this.
Told Mackenzie to go ahead and take the rest of the year off since she had plans to go back to her family for Christmas.

Not sure how much longer I'll be here, my vitals still aren't where they need to be but it hopefully won't be much longer.
Really bad timing all things considered but it is what it is, just focused on getting healthy and the update will be out very soon after.

Sorry again for not saying anything, I would make a post on patreon/SS but I only have access to those from my PC. I messaged Mackenzie asking her to post something just now but I'm not sure when she'll see it.

должна была бы присутствовать, хотя бы одна машина, на случай чего-то вышеописанного.
2. Мама конечно круто появилась, но ГГ - хлебушек, у него в руках была бита, все враги кто на коленях, кто на земле, несколько взмахов что-бы уложить тех кто покрепче, а потом вызвать полицию и до их приезда контролировать чтобы никто не встал(броситься на кого-то сидя или лёжа на земле сложнее чем стоя), и всё победа!
3. То есть мама все телодвижения этих утырков видела, видела как они избивают того парня и ничего не сделала? Не вызвала полицию, не попыталась позвать кого-нибудь на помощь, и стала действовать только тогда когда стали бить её сына? Я конечно понимаю что в ВН все события крутятся вокруг ГГ, и на какого-то безымянного парня в маске(а мы все помним что безликие и безымянные персонажи в играх это статисты чья единственная цель умирать первыми)) ) всем насрать, но не делать же это настолько откровенно!

P.S. Фу-у-х выговорился и прям полегчало! Несмотря на вышесказанное игра вполне норм, не знаю были ли в ней ранее по сюжету тупые моменты, но если и были то я просто не обратил на них внимание. А тут прям один за другим, вот у меня этот крик души и вырвался. ))
P.P.S. Да я понимаю что зачастую внезапная тупость персонажей нужна автору чтобы конкретные события могли произойти, и многие современные фильмы тому яркий пример.

We do apologize in the delay for this Mind Drop. We've spent some of these past few weeks dealing with an issue that we sadly can't speak on publicly.

Just to give the insight that we can give, it was an issue with Patreon but everything has been handled and it was all essentially a misunderstanding.

This did cause us to lose some time on development but we still fully intend to have the release out on the 19th.

Let's talk some about that upcoming release.

WVM Season 2, Chapter 1, Episode 4:
(Expected release date of November 19th)

As you all know, this next update will include the first basketball game (Even if it's just an exhibition.)
Though that's not all it will include, there's a few scenes leading up to the game and there will be a few scenes after. The update will go until they are boarding their flight to Florida for the charity event.

We do not have an exact render amount for the update as it's not fully finished yet. There's 2 scenes that are near finished and there are a few transition renders to be made.
Our estimation is that it will be slightly over 1000 renders long. (The exhibition game itself is around 350)

We will be talking more about what to expect for the future basketball games after this update is out and we can reference things for context without spoiling anything.

We'd also like to take this moment to say that due to there being a crowd for the game, there will technically be 100's of women introduced in this update, we're aware that the "roster" is already crowded so we want to make it clear that any girl that is not explicitly named will not be a "Main" character and for the vast majority of them, they will not even be considered as side characters.

Though due to this being a power fantasy sex game (This will be a bit controversial we think), we do intend on using a lot of the girls as quick hook ups.
Days are about to speed up quite a bit and we want to include a good amount of optional casual sex but it's not very feasible to include long sex scenes for minor characters.
So our plan is to use some of these girls as hookups for when the MC has free time. Think along the lines of a quick 15 render scenes with a few animations.
And as Braindrop likes to say, one of his optional paths planned for WVM is to become the "Consensual Genghis Khan".
So yes, "Finishing" inside will always be an option.

Side Content:
Birthday Renders (Bench Warmer+):
They will be out on the 21st and will include July-November.
We do apologize for the hold up, due to a variety of things these had to be put on the backburner for a bit but Braindrop intends to finish them in the days following the update.
(Will be including a spicier one at the bottom of this post as a peace offering.)

DITLO Poll (Sixth Man+):
We also apologize for this being a few days late but we weren't able to post for a bit, this first one will be held tomorrow the 12th.
The options will include Eden, Emiko, Jasmine, Kimmy, Mackenzie, Moon, Rachael, and Tia.
The first poll will be to select the top 4 options and then there will be a second poll on the 19th to select between the remaining 4.

Rachael Client Poll (All Star+):
Our next client will be from the country of Colombia.
This first one will be to select her age and it will be held on the 14th.
The next poll will be held on the 21st and we'll be selecting a name. (We're doing name early on just so it's a little less confusing than always referring to it as just "Client polls")
(Please message or comment any name suggestions you may have, thank you.)

MVP Beta Updates (MVP+):
We intended to have our first beta already but due to the issues we once again were unable to push anything out.
Due to the time between the update and now, we will be making this release larger than initially planned and it will include everything up until the start of the exhibition game. (Exact render and animation count will be posted in the post's title.)

Our planned date for these beta builds are Thursdays but due to the situation this will be posted on a Wednesday. The 16th.

Additional information post after the update (All tiers):
This should be posted on the 20th or 21st.
It will just be a post about how the update went and detailing some of our plans moving forward. Mainly about how the Mind Drops will be formatted in the future as well as our plans to keep you guys informed on how far along we are in the overall chapter.

Apologies for the small interruption in our plans, it was out of our hands and we dealt with it as quickly as we could.
Our focus is solely on the first beta build and the overall update.
We're excited to see how you all like it, Braindrop has been working his butt off and we hope the effort put in will equal you all having a fun time. That's always the goal.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask, we'll both be around for a bit after this post to answer.

Thanks for reading and thanks for playing. We appreciate the hell out of you.
See you all soon.

- Braindrop and Mackenzie.
