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, that's my real name.)
Braindrop has hired me to be his community manager and it's nice to meet all of you.
I will be the one making all of the posts as well as answering any questions that ...
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 this out... the other 400 renders should be finished soon and it will be uploaded the minute it is ready.
It's been a long time since an update and I've done a shit ton of testing on things so I'...
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 month. I've finally started to get my mental right and things have honestly been good on that end but I've been struggling with a few things work wise.
I've definitely been trying to keep my menta...
A Day In The Life Of Harper taking place on Day 15.
Poll for the next ditlo will be sometime next month.
Windows
Anna, Aubrey, Blue & Orange, Eden, Emiko, Green, Hannah, Katie, Lauren, Talismah, Tia, Wendy, Yuki, and Zoe.
Next month is June and it's a short list. Margaret, Harper, and Natalie.
June's renders will be released on the 1st.

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 mind drop this time around since there's not a ton to share but I'll pad it up a bit.
But first the main important things.
Mind drops moving to Saturdays.<...
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 have touched up a few for this upcoming update.)
Renders made this prior week:
Days 31-35 (touchups) - 28 renders and 3 animations
Days 36-...
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, I'm fucking with the timeline of the game, let's also fuck with the timeline of the Mind Drops.
(Mind Drop #43 will still be posted a few days before the update drops)
So, let's talk about s...

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 well.
It's embarrassing to delay again but I know that I only have the intention of making a good update. There's no ulterior motive.
There are some other reasons that have delayed my progre...
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 than I thought it would be.
It's a brand new style for me as I'm used to cramming days as full as I could possibly make them.
I'm having to find my own style in the new style and like anything el...
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
Renders per day - 21.5 (Hit the 20/day goal even though I wasn't able to work yesterday so I'm very happy with this week.)
What's left for the update?
Scenes are all ...
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 and 1 animation
Renders per day - 19.4 (Ever so slightly missed my 20 a day goal but I'm still happy with it since it was a weird week and I didn't get to work for like a day and a half.)
&nb...
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 features of her face but I think that's the route that's required.
But, since I don't have those made and I'm hard at work on finishing the update, I don't want to pull myself away to make any m...

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.
Renders made this prior week:
New - 98 renders and 1 animation
Weeks 1-3 redo - 88 renders and 1 animation
Renders per day - 26.5 (Back to back 26 renders a day weeks. I'm definitely in a fl...
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.
Renders made this prior week:
New - 85 renders and 1 animation
Week 1 redo - 102 renders and 2 animations
Renders per day - 26.7 (Well past my 20 a day goal... but I did get helped by having an ...
(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.)
(And don't mind the makeup too much, I just went with it to give her a vibe.)
Your poll this week is to pick her eye color...

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.)
(Girls currently from August-December. January girls coming soon.)
(Birthday renders are not involved with the game at all. They're just a couple of fun renders of girls on their in-game birthdays.)
(Girls sorted alphabetically not by birthday)
(For girls birthdays, view the character sheet...
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 of other stuff so let's talk about some of it.
I'm not going to pause pledges
I'm going to be completely honest. I was 100% planning on pausing this month i...
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 between red and blonde but after thinking about it some more I want to include black)
(Using a blank model just to showcase the hair without any other factors influencing a choice.)
(There ...
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 many messages weekly where people exclaim they miss weeklys. So it was either a vocal minority or just players missing consistency. Which I understand.
I said in the mind drop I was going to re...
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 separate images in the game.)
(I would add more options in between but I don't think they're very feasible and I don't want to dilute the poll)
(Poll doesn't decide for me. I'm just gauging...
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 to ditch the old format for these. It was a little too difficult to write anything meaningful every week as sometimes there just wasn't anything to talk about and the format made me not want to expand...
(Image from Bailey's redone scene in Day 9 that hasn't been implemented yet)
First off, sorry for the late post. I meant to have this up way sooner in the day but I wasn't at home and I have a new phone that I haven't moved my authenticator over to yet so I couldn't log into my account.
I promised the next beta to be on the 30th and I promised that it absolutely wouldn't move again as it's ...
(Image from Jasmine's birthday render earlier this year)
Yo
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 everything in this post since I've gone over most of it already and I don't want it to sound like I'm making excuses so I'd rather wait until after the update to talk about these things.
But to put it r...
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.
Work week:
It was a solid week, I finished up two scenes and am currently working on starting the next big scene. I remade an animation that I thought looked a little too jerky and I...
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 additional future polls.
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.
I think it's sa...
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.
I've reached a point in it that requires a lot of custom materials and figures and assets. Which normally isn't too big of a problem but with things how they are right now and the holidays coming...
Yo!
(Reminder that this is a Norwegian Black Metal band's frontwoman with a rebellious personality type.)
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 colors.
I do have a character created already but I didn't want to show her for this post as we'll tweak her a bit and I kind of want the hair to influence the face more than I want the face to...
Sup'ge.
After the book earlier this week and since I feel I overshared... gonna keep it mostly short.
Game / Dev related stuff:
- I've been getting back into things after my little "break". After everything it's very refreshing to be back, I'm having a lot of fun and I'm full of ideas.
Renders made this prior week:
New - 49 renders and 0 animation
Week 1 redo - 58 renders and 1 animation
Renders per day - 17.8 ...
