Dev Blog#10 (v0.3) Post v0.2 Debrief

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd make this post since a bunch of you became members! My sincerest thanks for showing enough enthusiasm to pledge! I know how it goes and that a lot of you pledged with the intention of it being a one time purchase for the early access and that's totally fine! I'd do the same ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). But before you completely cancel, consider staying at Sapphire ($2). If you're enjoying Brain Rot so far and its direction, the pledge will get me closer to quitting one of my jobs and being able to focus more time on Brain Rot and future projects. But I understand times are tough and scraping together every dollar where you can find matters. If that's the case, instead, consider spreading the word or leaving an honest review or comment on another forum/website that's showcasing Brain Rot. There's also just only a couple hundred members here on Patreon, both pledged and free, and a good chunk of our goal has already been achieved. Our goal could even be accomplished with just 1,000 members! Either way, big thanks to all of you guys ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

Some stuff on 0.2: Believe it or not, when I was doing my initial writing of Brain Rot, 0.2 was supposed to be the tail end of 0.1. 0.1 was supposed to be larger. However, I wanted to get the project off the ground faster and see if there was any interest/promise in it in the first place.

I was in a bit of a peculiar situation with 0.2 because I was really looking at my time horizon and vision for Brain Rot and future projects. Essentially, I decided to speed things up for us. No waiting a ridiculous amount of time for something to happen with blue balls. Don't get me wrong - Tension is good. Build up is good. Suspense is good. But waiting for 1+ years for a tuggy is not, for me and for you. That's why I decided to have April and Will at a point in their relationship where they're already established and trusting of each other. Trying to show you guys that while they also explore their boundaries is a bit tricky, but worth the time saver of having to see their relationship from the very beginning.

That being said, expect some solid stuff in 0.3. If you know what I mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). I will be adding some time skips of a few days here and there to make sure you guys understand their progression into NTS isn't over night. But let's be real. I've been through it and I'm sure you guys have too. It's fatiguing having to show or see things progress step by step by step by step by step. I say, let's get to the meat and potatoes. I also feel like people's attention spans, myself included, are getting shorter and shorter. While on the other hand, fatigue of projects being dropped is getting higher and higher.

Fuck the hyper realistic scenarios and snail pace progression and cue what I'm sure most of us are here for - Entertainment ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). This is not to say I'll be making things stupid, too nonsensical, sloppy, or just have April hop into gangbangs or orgies. I'm saying, let's take the first physical, solid step in 0.3 towards that while at a faster pace ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). There are SO many scenarios and scenes I have stored up that I want to share with you guys on a magical college campus! I hope you guys can understand my view and vision for Brain Rot and future projects. I basically don't want one project to be going on for years. It's not realistic for nonprofessional creators like myself and what I believe contributes to projects being dropped. I refuse to be one of them.

I'm in the midst of the writing for 0.3! All is going well. I've got 3-4 nice scenes lined up, especially the last one ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). If you didn't catch it in my last post, 0.3 will be very plot heavy compared to 0.2. I spoiled you guys in 0.2. I'll be doing my best to add in some diagrams/visuals, so it's not just walls and walls walls of text.

One last time, my sincerest thanks to everyone! Don't forget, pledging isn't the only way to support! Give me feedback or spread the word!
