Mind Drop #21 (05/03/2021) (Not quite yet)
🕑 Added 2021-05-03 23:25:12 +0000 UTC
'Sup.
Really didn't want to make a post until the update is done as I'm sure there are people that will see that there was a new post and get hype that it was the update only for it to be an update on the update. But I didn't want to seem like I was ghosting either.
Sadly there isn't much to update on exactly. Update is close and I'm still grinding away on it, I just need more time.
Not trying to make excuses but it's been a rough few weeks where I've dealt with multiple PC issues (PSUs are lame) as well as a slight setback with my eyes. (nothing too bad though, just a few days of pain because I took one day off to have a cookout at my new place with friends / family and I spent a little too long in the sun. Though I'm not sure if it was because of the sun or allergies, but either way they're better now)
I don't want this to be a completely devoid post so I'll include something I didn't plan on making a big deal about.
This update will be the largest one I've ever put out. (previously mentioned it was north of 1k) but it's 1500+ renders and 30+ animations. I fudged some of the earlier numbers so it would be a surprise and I've also added a few scenes.
I don't remember exact numbers but I believe the previous largest update I put out was the 1200 render update for the end of day 7.
So yeah, I'm pumped for the release and I promise it will be out ASAP. No exact date but just continue to check around 7pm EST, if it isn't out then know in that moment I'm working away at it and check again the next day. π
(Also there are many posts planned for after the release. Such as polls for fav girl in Days 8-9, client polls, monthly render set, FAQ, detailed plan for the future, etc)
Sorry for the lacking and somewhat low effort post. Just wanted to let you guys know what's up.
The wait is almost over, though I know these posts can cause some anxiousness. So I'll drop my usual promise that I will pause pledges again if the update isn't out in a reasonable timeframe from now as well as the other stuff I've promised this month. π
Thank you guys so much for the support and your patience. This will be the last post until the update (for real this time).
I'll talk to you all soon. Love you guys. <3

LMAO. Wrong dev. No, really. That's Mr. Dots.
Nick
Wrong developer. Think you'r looking for MrDots Games on Subscribestar.
B.C.Chmielewski
are you going to finish Melody and DmD any time soon?????
Kenneth Campbell
Especially if it is a mates with benefits, I thought it might have happened in the jail cell. Though I would have like to see him get it on with the wet Lawyer in the interview room.
james theberge
Hot + Toned, hell with giant Man thighs like his it more Hot + Scary, think Dolph Lundgren "I must crush you" is it wrong I find that kind of hot... Hope the MC does too.
Mando81
Then you were lucky as fuck in Hs Joshua, mine looked a bit more like the female Penny sweetest person I've ever met though
FosterGail
1500 renders.. your computer is going to kill you in your sleep π€£
Firinity
When it's ready?

Damn I was hoping today would be the day. Nice start to my weekend.
Dipper Pines
I gotcha, and thanks for responding btw, appreciate you taking the time. You should give lessons on being a quality developer.
Star Marrowin
Skye should absolutely be one of the "girlfriend" possibilities. hot + toned to that degree is always a win.
james theberge
Damn thats true. How could I forget that she looked just like Diamond Jackson in that scene... I can't wait for the update so I can play through and refresh my memory.
james theberge
Credit where due man... You and the game are worth it.
Braindrop
While logical, it's not how I do things.
Braindrop
Skye does have a romantic path planned. π
Braindrop
There was also an anal scene with Keyana. π And trust me, she won't be the last. π
Braindrop
In this case the added scenes weren't entirely new scenes with new plot. Just large additions to scenes to make the scenes that were already there more lively and just overall better. And yes sadly it does contribute to delays. But with my current mindset a better update is worth the extra time. And thank you for the kind words and the patience. π
Joshua Entrekin
No offense but Skye looks like my HS girlfriend, Short cute haircut and big tits. I can appreciate what she is supposed to be, that said, i'd still make her mine as that is not what i see. She's a tall hot chick!
Mando81
I don't know if you have anything planned with Skye? but I'd really like something to develop there, he did say he was attracted to personality traits.....and anyway if you can have a girlfriend with a cock, why not a boyfriend with a vagina
Mando81
I very much agree, but Jamie hinted she's up for it at the butt plug reveal.......so fingers crossed
james theberge
Just wanted to say you are so right as far as Dev's go BD is head & shoulders above the others. With the exception of the past few months for health reasons he had always been consistent with his updates and drops.... For a VN with this level of quality plus storyline with arcs DAMN.
james theberge
But if its not asking to much, with the exception of one VERY lucky pen only the MCs T-girls have given up the chocolate starfish this must change WHO'S WITH ME??!!
james theberge
Ok BD you've heard from so many you don't need to pause the pledges, so you just do what you feel is right just remember we all love the quality content you've always dropped on us so take your time do it right and give us your best as always.
William Duckett
No payment pause necessary imo
Josua
On my opinion you donΒ΄t need to pause the pledges because you do a shitload of work all this time.
Ryu123
maybe you should just finish what you have so far instead of adding more and more story it will only push you back further.
Nathan Blanchard
Has there been a new update since 9.4??
Steele76
It's good to take a day off with friends to recharge batteries. Take your time.
Thomas J
Great game, the only thing missing for me is music to bring the scenes alive :)
roemello
Take your time, don't rush it. π
ElamStor
All is good, all is fine, we can wait as long as we need, to get next update. But there is one important question i need to ask : WHERE IS THE FROG????
Durok187
Shut up and take my money π°!
Hugh
Don't worry about taking longer than you expected, shit happens in everyones life, besides I know this update will be worth the wait
Echo CT-1409
To give you an example, Icstor hasn't updated Milfy City in over 2 years and still has never paused pledges... stop being ridiculous
Echo CT-1409
Braindrop has paused pledges for the last 2-3 months I'm not sure how you can complain.
cykel
I have no problem waiting, better wait bit longer then rush it βjust bscβ and health are always most important
Malcolm Hudson
Man update can wait, your health comes first
Markus Hlastec
hey where is the problem.personal health always will and should be top priority. and is not a big deal anyway because he not takes money,that my friend is very,very rare in this buisness.there is literally no one else that had paused payment like BD does if he has personal issues. so give him a break,i am "grumpy" too becuse the lack of updates,but it is good because he is fair and paused the payments.
cameronhoodman .
Family time is important my guy, just be safe and well. The update will come no rush its all good

Glad your eyes are doing better, for the most part, and hope they will continue to keep getting better. I want to say that I'm here for the long haul, you're game is amazing and you are one of the best Dev's out there in terms of communicating what is happening. As others have talked about above, when you don't feel like your living up to your end of the deal you pause donations. You are literally the only dev I have been subscribed to who has done that. So thanks. I do have an honest question though, seriously not criticizing in any way. You mentioned that you added some scenes, I'm assuming that means they weren't originally planned for this update. My question is when you add scenes to an update like that, that is already delayed, isn't is making the delay longer? Again, just an honest question I had after reading your update post. Thanks for you great work and I can't wait for the new update.
Standingwolf37
yes take your time i know all about pc problems as mine keeps resetting where to look for the OS hard drive lol this STORY IS WELL WORTH THE WAIT :D :D
JAS
Braindrop has been pausing pledges where other developers have not while not releasing updates or the updates were lacking in substance. BD has been upfront about everything, so I am content with waiting for the update and I do not think the next update will disappoint.
AlphaEcho
After replaying and adding Jasmine to the harem.... Can't wait.
AlphaEcho
There's the door (points), you can show yourself out. No one is going to give you a hero's parade or anything. I have seen this often enough in non-AVNs games to not really give a crap. If you're gonna leave, then leave. No one wants to hear about your mis-guided reasons.
Phillip Gosson
Take your time (and yes pc are a pain in the ass)Just put in 5900x so yeah understand and your health my friend take care of it we can wait,(but not to long).
DeadMan
I'm of two thoughts, one I want it as fast as possible, but then I do really enjoy the game and that part says take whatever time you need to make yourself happy with it. So take care of yourself and do what you can when you can. You update, keep us informed and deliver far more content than to most other devs.
Ohhiimfox
It's a bit sad.. i was looking every day after the last minddrop for the update... :( BUT i understand you. and i hope that you are doing better.!
Englen
Sorry to hear about the setbacks but glad to hear you're doing better now. Really looking forward to the update, its gonna be a great one!
Jose De La Cruz
I rather be patient by waiting for a good game and story then something that rushed with many errors and problems. So take your time and look after your well being that is what's important. Also I can't wait on the next update.
Mitsuru
"And I suggest others do the same." ....As other have said we got 2 free months. But, yeah keep talking i'm sure i'll care someday.
james theberge
Waiting for this coming update, I've been play through all my fave VNs from the beginning and realized you just don't remember everything when you wait a month to a few months between updates, so with the changes to week 1 hopefully my brain won't explode.
Englen
You do realize that he has been pausing pledges right? Hes done that 9 times out of the last 14 months, 3 out of the first 5 months this year, you literally have not been charged a single dollar since Feb 1st. so pls get down from your high horse and stop acting so entitled.
Firinity
Talking about canceling but BD hasn't even charged for the last 2 months...
Juan Vasquez
This is getting ridiculous. If it continues, I'm going to cancel my subscription. And I suggest others do the same. I've already cut off 4 subscriptions for doing similar stuff.
james theberge
Since he's making changes to the first week good idea.
Jameskai
This image and the banner are magical.
Karolis Kupetys
Damn 1500+ thats gonna be BIG one :D
Grizzly Williams
glad your eyes are doing better but damn this update is gonna be lit

UncleLoco
Hey man take the time you need. Sure we are excited for the update, but I would rather you be happy with it then for you to rush it. Looking forward to the pool party.
Firinity
Can't wait to dive into this update. Time to start another play through I think.
Beautiful Duwang
This update bout to be ππ
