Mind Drop #48 (08/24/2022)
Hello all!
There has been a lot happening behind the scenes and I'm here to tell you about some of it.
First off, let me introduce myself.
I'm Mackenzie. (Actually, ...
Braindrop activity
WVM (S2-C1-E1) release! (359 renders 10-ish animations)
For those that aren't in the know.
The poll was in favor of combining the chunks but due to the backlash I intended to just put the first bit of the chunk out on the 29th... but I mental boomed pretty hard and I left the internet for a few days.
I'm back, I'm deciding to go ahead and put th...
Mind Drop #47
Yo
I have a few things to share about how things have been going on my end but first let me apologize for not posting or even reading comments as of late.
It's been a bit of a frustrating ...

Mind Drop #46 (04/17/2022)
Hey everyone!
Happy Easter to anyone that celebrates it.
Sharing one of the shorter and simpler animations from the update this time around instead of an image just to mix things up a bit. (Animation is lower quality here than it will be in the game.)
It's going to be a short min...
Mind Drop #45 (04/09/22)
Oops, thought yesterday was Thursday and today was Friday...
Waking up in the middle of the night for a crying baby and taking naps mid day has made it difficult to track days internally. My fault. 😁
(I have continued working on render work for the update after this one, though I hav...
Mind Drop #44 (04/03/2022) (Not #43, the update isn't ready for that yet)
Admittedly not the best decision to skip a mind drop on the date that matches the next Mind drop number (43, 04/03)
But here we are. A good number of people mentioned that communication has really broken down as of late and I want to remedy that by starting the Mind drops back up.
And hey,...
Update will be in April and I do not plan on pausing, please adjust pledges accordingly
Hey guys, just a quick update to let you guys know that I won't be able to finish the update this month.
To put it frank, working on the timeline has been a much harder process than I thought it would be.
I've also added a few more animations to fluff up some of the shorter scenes as w...
No news is good news... and this is news
Sup.
This is my 4th attempt at this post. My previous ones I rambled and tried to explain myself way too much and ended up deleting.
Long story short... reworking the timeline has been harder t...
Not a Mind Drop... again
Yo!
I'm going to keep this (Not a) Mind Drop short and sweet this week since there's some important stuff about the update to share.
Renders made this prior week:
New - 109 renders and 0 animations
Weeks 1-3 redo - 42 renders and 0 animations

Not a Mind Drop
Yo, I'm saving MD #43 for right before the update since it's my favorite number. 😁
So besides everything but the title this will be a normal mind drop.
Renders made this prior week:
New - 75 renders and 0 animations
Weeks 1-3 redo - 61 renders a...
Ingrid Client Poll (Height)
I'm calling a mulligan on the bone structure poll that was planned because I'm looking over the options I made and it's too many small changes that I don't think should be made at once. Some things are too hard to notice in the format that I can show here.
I didn't want to do individual fe...

Mind Drop #42 (02/18/2022)
Yo!
Yet another solid week that has gone smoothly.
In this mind drop I want to update you guys on what's left and what could change with the upcoming update as well as some more info on the Weeks 1-3 redo and when you may can expect it to be released.

Mind Drop #41 (02/11/2022)
Yo!
It's been a solid week and this will be a normal mind drop. No books this time around.
I'm going to go into a little bit of detail about what I have left to accomplish for Days 10-14... but first I'mma talk about this week's render count.

(This is a very early version of Ingrid. She will be changed through polls, she is far from finished. I went with pale skin and strong facial features to start with.)(Think of this more as the starting template you work from like a video game character creation.)

Birthday Renders (62 total renders... so far)
This is the post that I will upload and post all of the past and future birthday renders. (There will be a separate post monthly with all of the new ones but they'll also be uploaded here.)

Mind Drop #40 (01/31/2022) (Talking about changes and not much more)
Yo!
Hope you're all doing well, I'm going to do my best to not type a book this time. 😁
I mainly just want to talk about what I asked in recent polls and how I'll handle some upcoming stuff.
It's been a strange week where I've planned out a ton of future stuff and also a whole bunch ...
Ingrid Client Poll (Hair color)
So we currently have a Norwegian Black Metal band's frontwoman that has a rebellious personality type and a totally on the nose viking-esque hairstyle... and her name is Ingrid.
Before picking her name we picked her hairstyle and now it's time to pick a color.
(I initially said I'd pick...
How do you feel I should handle this upcoming release?
Okay, so I know it's never a great idea to let others decide how you're gonna do something and that's not what I'm doing here.
These times are also not promises. They're what I currently have planned as options.
The results of the prior poll were a little bit shocking to me. I receive ...
Preferred update method?
Apologies for double posting on the same day. I do my best to avoid that since I hate spamming emails.
But I am planning out my schedule for the year ahead of time and was curious as to how you guys prefer your update patterns?
(Renders are just images in the game. So 200 renders is 200...
Mind Drop #39 (01/25/2022)
Woah, a mind drop on a Tuesday?
Well, today was supposed to be the next client poll but I want to make a change to it before posting it so it will be tomorrow and I have some updates so I figured I might as well put this out there today.
I think I'm going ...

I'm gonna just say it how it is, I need to move the release date to the 30th.
It will not move again.
I won't go into every...
Mind Drop #38 (12/17/2021)
Yo
This isn't going to be a normal mind drop. My child has been a handful today and truth be told I don't feel like typing a lot right now and kind of just want to hop in bed. I'm currently half asleep and very low energy. 😎
So some quick word vomit on a few things.
Client Poll (Name for Norwegian frontwoman)
Okay so last week I said I'd be showcasing the model... but while looking at her right now I'm having second thoughts and want to tweak some things.
My thought is to tweak a bit and post in discord and get some feedback before posting a "final" version of the base we're going to tweak with ad...
Mind Drop #37 (12/11/2021)
Yo!
Pretty standard week which is a miracle considering the new changes in my life. A lot of that is in thanks to the large amounts of support I have from family / friends.
Game / Dev related stuff:
- I'm taking a short break from working on the week 1 remake...

Simple poll where we will pick out a hairstyle. Do not concern yourself too much with the color as I just alternated between a red/blonde as I know I will be picking between those c...

Sup'ge.
After the book earlier this week and since I feel I overshared... gonna keep it mostly short.
Game / Dev related stuff:
