I have both of your games. I am really enjoying WS a lot. I like it more than BM. It is a lot of fun. It has a really interesting story arch. the dialogue is great, and the visuals pull the story and dialogue together very well. You really should be working on this first, and finishing it. BM can wait.
BM is the main project, the big one with the great visuals, the eye-candy and serious story, which also makes some money, this one here is a small side project just for fun that I started when I had a lot of time. Now I simply don't have that much time anymore, and I don't want to start crunching. I already have a lot of other stuff to do and the quality would suffer a lot.
Let me preface this by saying I am a harem builder lover, it's what drew me to your stories.
A great AVN requires more than amazing visuals. Sure the visual quality is better on BM, but I am about 5 or 6 hours in, and the story isn't nearly as engaging. It's just a dude building a harem without a real reason. I am enjoying it, but not nearly as much as WS. As I state in a lot of my reviews, a great AVN requires 3 things. 1. A story that engages the reader, the more epic the better. 2. Dialogue that is not only grammatically correct, but it has to be written so that each character is portrayed through it's manner of speech. 3. Visuals that portray the telling of the story and the dialogue. Honestly, the visuals are the least important of the three. Yes, the better they are, the better they help tell the story. But relying on visuals only doesn't make a great AVN. BM has amazing visuals. And I feel the emotion and personalities of each of the characters through the dialogue and the visuals. You have done amazing in that regard. And while I see the point in the story, (guy wrestling with being who he is through remembering buried memories and trying to justify his current existence), it honestly just feels like an excuse to have sex with a bunch of women, including his family members, all at the same time. If you had included the visuals for the repressed memories too, it would have made the telling of it more dramatic, and a lot more engaging. I get why you didn't, but I believe it would have been better for the story. WS might seem to you to be a side project. Just something you were fooling around with. You just collected some thoughts in the form of short stories, and added them to a sum that made up an over arching story. Turns out that it turned into an amazing story. Hannah woke up! What a fucking cliff hanger. The dynamic between all the different girls and their personalities. Travelling to another world and fighting monsters. The mystery that is the MC's grandfather, AND his grandmother. Unravelling the tapestry that is his extended family, and figuring out how take care of all of them and maybe help a whole other world. Dude, this is an epic in the making. Plus, it is a lot easier to avoid having sex with immediate family members than it is in BM, which makes those of us who are not into incest feel a lot better. Don't get me wrong, I am liking BM a lot. I just feel you are missing the fact that WS is a more potentially epic tale that could be a masterpiece. The story is the important part here. Too many authors rely on visuals and lewd scenes to make an AVN. And those types of AVNs are fine if that's all you're into. But to me, you feel more like a story teller. Tell your stories. Go with what you think is right. I'm here for all of it. But I'm here more for WS. Just my two cents.
While I agree with most of what you said, you have to remember that a) BM was there long before I started playing around with WS, it's the main project. B) The fan base for WS is a lot smaller than for BM and C) WS makes no money and I'll never be able to sell it officially because the software (engine) license doesn't allow it.
Let me be honest with you, I might prefer WS a bit more than BM myself. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it's fun, and I will definitely come back to it, but BM has priority at the moment.
Someone recommended this as an example of your work cause I said I wouldn't buy a game without a demo for bad memories. Amazing story my only issue is I'm super irritated this game was abandoned. So I bought your other game and hope it lives up to the first one. I hope my money goes to help you decide to pick this game back up in the future.
Thanks a lot. This one isn't abandoned, but it's a side project. At the moment I'm focused at finishing my other game, after that's done, I'll come back to do some weird shit ;)
why is the 4k versions window smaller than my 4k monitor? it's still significantly higher res than every other game vn I've played which is cool but it's confusing. is it this just a thing with renpy or is it just not quite actual 4k?
cool it's just weird that a 4k window doesn't fill a 4k screen, other games that have opened or accidentally switched to windowed tend to spill over to my other monitors, I guess renpy just forces it to be smaller than the screen it's on
wait wait wait, almost 2yrs without an update and you're telling me it's not abandoned???
would it be a waste of time to dl it now? cause it looks like you normally update roughly yearly so the next update shouldn't be too far off, unless something irl happened and has massively slowed development
lol I love see players bitch about a game that was free. At least make subjective criticism or point out mistakes that need to be fixed. Well Dev I don’t know if you got burned out on this story or not. I’ll check back in a few months. Take care
Hi Dev is it possible to update this page with your Patreon link. You may want to place on each game page a description of your other game and a link to that game page. Please don’t assume they will find your other games on their own. lol you know what assume means.😂
Here is an old saying you may like. Friends may come, Friends may go, Friends may peter out, you know, But we’ll be friends through thick or thin, Peter out or peter in.🤪
okay yeah this game is so bad...im sorry at first it was good..mc seemed smart..but as you play you relise just how stupid he is...and now hes trying keep everyone in the same room...i to hell with this trash...i mean how stupid did you make the mc??? most humans are not this dumb...u see your dead mother and be like oh its normal...sorry but you made this so unrealistic is pathetic..hes got 2 brain cells max
Apparently you didn't actually read the story, or you would know what's going on. Either that, or you just don't like how the story is playing out. Either way, it's your choice on if you want to stick around or not. Insulting someone else simply because what they make isn't for you isn't the best mindset to have, and I hope that you don't act the same way when actually interacting with people in real life.
Do what you gotta do BM Rec.. I enjoy both games and I look forward to any update you release because I am sure you are putting your best quality into each update. The pressure got to you on BM and you had to put out a patch from 0.90 to 0.91 cause folks RUSHED YOU!! Pssst.... (whispering.... "don't keep me waiting too long on either one...." Wink Wink ;<P )
I'm currently working on my other game. Usually I switch after each update, but this time I keep working on BM to get some things done. I'll come back to this one, but it will take a while.
This is why I dont watch series on Netflix, I get into a show, they end with a cliffhanger and then cancel the show. I was really enjoying "Shit is Going to Happen" and you end it with a cliffhanger and never follow upl most of the games i play have regular up dates but you put that game "Bad Memories" before "Shit is Going to Happen", why, it doesnt even compare "Shit is Going to Happen" is a really fun game that is funny, and the characters are well written, the last scene I played was when Hannah came into the dining room and fell down, what the fuck, that was years ago, i am waiting to see what happens, this is soooooo fucked up. I would pay the full price of the game if you finished it, but you just want to tell everyone that invested their time playing your game to kiss your ass. I hope you have a successful life but because you are a selfish ass I will no longer be part of your taunting adventure.
Hey. So, leafing through comments, first one was the obvious that I noted (BM over WS). While I understand updates probably aren't released at the same rate, I have BM on Steam, and haven't seen any major updates there since May '23. So, a while. There's also menu options available, that have no reason being there since they won't work til the game is finished in it's entirety, apparently. While I understand these things take time, and your game has some absolutely fantastic images, it's still a big gap. Since v0.8.0 was April '23 and v0.8.5 was May '23, and it's now April of the following year with nothing new added to my knowledge.
Which brings me to WS. Needs editing for typos, and proper marking of who is speaking in some areas. Agreeing with another comment, it's far more of a fun game. Mostly lighthearted, doesn't take itself too seriously, but still doesn't conform to everything else and is fairly original. I think it would do well with an update, and that cliffhanger was...tense (honestly more wondering about the sandwich from Lil than the girl, since I guessed the who-but-not-when of the situation when I first saw the lab).
This isn't a criticism, but more of a "more updates needed regularly", and on both games, not just one.
Even though this was released more recently, and it's a side-gig, I enjoy it far more.
Thanks a lot for this comment, yes, WS is a bit rough around the edges, but that's because I don't spend as much time to flesh things out, and double check everything, like I do in BM. It's also a bit of a fun ride for myself when I work on it, I can integrate all the crazy, and sometimes even stupid ideas, that I'd never use for BM.
I agree, updates are slow, but that comes with being a single developer. I have a lot of stuff going on in real life, I have a wife that wants attention, a house that needs renovation, etc.. In short, I'm pretty busy, and can't spend as much time as I want to on development anymore, but I'm still working on bith games regularly.
you are still doing an amazing job. I love small developers because i feel like they put their heart and soul into making the games because they can and not pump it out like big companies for a cash grab. i love to support the games that you can see them put their heart and soul because they can, and they enjoy it. keep up the amazing work.

It's not abandoned, it's just on hold until bm is done.

Good to know, I guess I'll have to wait a bit. Thanks!
why is the 4k versions window smaller than my 4k monitor? it's still significantly higher res than every other game vn I've played which is cool but it's confusing. is it this just a thing with renpy or is it just not quite actual 4k?
It's actual 4k, but the game is in windowed mode by default. Most people prefer it that way, but you can change it in the settings.
cool it's just weird that a 4k window doesn't fill a 4k screen, other games that have opened or accidentally switched to windowed tend to spill over to my other monitors, I guess renpy just forces it to be smaller than the screen it's on
Yeah, I've made the same observation, it's actually pretty hard to get a renpy game to stretch to the full screen by hand 😅
spoil alert？well i don't know where to report the wrong text(or name)
the name is wrong i guess, it make sense if said by MC
I have that fixed internally already, thanks 🙂
wait wait wait, almost 2yrs without an update and you're telling me it's not abandoned???
would it be a waste of time to dl it now? cause it looks like you normally update roughly yearly so the next update shouldn't be too far off, unless something irl happened and has massively slowed development
I paused development here for a while to finish my other project, so yeah, it's not abandoned, but it will take a while longer until the next update.
i really like that game it fun...
lol I love see players bitch about a game that was free. At least make subjective criticism or point out mistakes that need to be fixed. Well Dev I don’t know if you got burned out on this story or not. I’ll check back in a few months. Take care
Not burned out, just prioritising my other game at the moment, got to finish things there first 😅

your comment was free, so i'm here to bitch about it
lol what is free in this life when we only have a very limited time here. And the only thing ever free is the crabs you get from your next fling 🥰
Here is an old saying you may like. Friends may come, Friends may go, Friends may peter out, you know, But we’ll be friends through thick or thin, Peter out or peter in.🤪
what an amazing poem about Peter..
i'll put you in the Peter File
okay yeah this game is so bad...im sorry at first it was good..mc seemed smart..but as you play you relise just how stupid he is...and now hes trying keep everyone in the same room...i to hell with this trash...i mean how stupid did you make the mc??? most humans are not this dumb...u see your dead mother and be like oh its normal...sorry but you made this so unrealistic is pathetic..hes got 2 brain cells max

this game is awesome, and mc is far smarter than you
Oh man, can't wait to see this game completed. Once I see work start on this again, I'll hop on Patreon and give you support.
Do what you gotta do BM Rec.. I enjoy both games and I look forward to any update you release because I am sure you are putting your best quality into each update. The pressure got to you on BM and you had to put out a patch from 0.90 to 0.91 cause folks RUSHED YOU!! Pssst.... (whispering.... "don't keep me waiting too long on either one...." Wink Wink ;<P )
when will this be updated?

Hi
I love your work and the story!
Any Updates on the development or any new content?
I can't wait!
the next update will take a while, I'm currently working on my other game.
Hi
I guess is Bad Memories.
Ho is the first work I saw form you and loved it, so I can't wait for it too.
