I ran into a problem where a news article remained on screen after shutting my computer, now I can't minimize it and it lays over the entire screen even as the story progresses. Any known way to fix this? Otherwise I'll need to start my game over essentially (from a very early point). Very frustrating bug

Defending Lydia Collier Development Log


Hello everybody!

Sorry for not posting in a little while, there's been a lot I've been doing for the game this month that I can't really show you as it's not creating new content exactly.

So what have I been up to?

Firstly, I've been clearing the custom backlog, these will be out shortly over the weekend and any not requested by now will be created after v.0.16 (you can still tell me what you want if you've subbed at that tier, just it won't be worked on until then).

Secondly, I've done all the Accounting and Taxes for White Phantom Games for 2022/23. Incredibly boring and not exciting at all but it is something that I'm legally required to do now once a year as thanks to everybody's support this is now my full time job.

Thirdly, I've been working on loads of coding and changes for v.0.16, and this is getting near completion. I'm going to try and get the full v.0.16 update out in December, and this will add Ellie, Jenna and Lydia's final content plus all the coding changes for the social media and achievements. I've now got all the images and coding for achievements basically done, just will need testing at some point in December.

Fourthly, I've created a new unique hub location for the game that will be used quite extensively in the final two days. The Tube is quite a staple of London, and the reason why it hasn't really featured is simply I didn't have a good asset for it. Early this year I got one, and you may have seen it in quite a bland form with Ellie's evening. Now I've remade a lot of it and the MC will start using it near his house, I've changed a lot of things to make them fit in with DLC's universe, and also getting some audio for it, and now I'm done with this area. There's some images included, and you'll see quite a lot of it on Jenna's path, and having this premade, pre-lit and ready to go will speed things up a lot in future days.

Additionally a lot of people have spoken about the animations, or lack of, in the game. I tried reaching out to some very good NSFW animators I managed to find and whilst they had reasonable commission prices, none really wanted to work with the software I use, or use my character models. So I have been looking into this if this is your gripe with the game and will continue to do so, but I haven't found one person interested yet.

Finally, I've been continuing to make Jenna's content and a couple of previews from her day so far are attached.

Last year I did the Advent Calendar for Christmas which I think I'll do again this year, so keep an eye out for that on Twitter (@WhitePhantom18) or Discord ( )!

It will just be one image per day this year as I've got an update to focus on and finish, and I'll post the images in 4k for everybody at the Supporter Tier and above to keep on the 25th when it is all done.

Thanks for all the new and continued support!

I will just stop wasting my time here. But to your last question..If we list top 10 VNs of all time then it will be found that most of them were finished within 2 years..
For example,
Depraved Awekaning,
Treasure of Nadia
Acting Lessons
Leap of Faith
etc etc..
Have a nice day....
Treasure of Nadia ain't even a VN, bruv.

Load an earlier save (auto) from before using the laptop. Had this happen myself a couple of times and yes it is annoying. Make sure to not be skipping through when you hit this section as I've noticed that can cause it.

I'm actually looking forward to some plot development here, as well as the shagging. No idea how he's going to tie it up, should be fun.

Tie what up? The case is finished concirning Lidy - everyone is aware Titan is the culprit.
The relationships of MC are all wrapped up - main LI is tightly settled into him pretty wholsomely
The fate of Charly and all the other victims of Titan-including Tania- is the plot that is still ongoing,
with MC spearheadding the investigation into the sex slave blackmail girl trafficking ring Titan is running

No idea how he's going to tie it up, should be fun.
What are you looking out for in the future?

Hey just found this game and downloaded it, yet for some reason whenever I try to extract the files, the v18.base.rpa file (in the game folder) won't transfer, and without which the game doesn't work. Just keep getting a 0x80004005 error code. Anyone have any suggestions?

It is called corrupted download file --- get yourself another copy, change the DL host,
get a bigger space where you DL the file or a bigger space where you decompress it.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas have a joyful rest of the holiday season and a happy new year!
If you're eligible for wallpapers check the other post for all the Christmas renders in 4/8k to download!
As some of you may know from Twitter/Discord I'm still without proper internet at the moment and have only just got 4g back on some networks so sorry for being quiet!

The phone networks in my area decided to switch 3g off at the beginning of December, messed it up, took down 2g/4g/5g as well and still haven't fixed it. Two networks, O2 and Vodafone, neither of which are my usual providers (Three and EE were my main and my backup) have fixed their masts so I'm using PAYG Dongles with them atm to get back online but the speed and signal really isn't good with those two, which is causing a huge pain trying to download/upload and do a lot of the things I traditionally do and need the internet for, things you don't even think of like lightroom presets, downloading asset updates etc.

So because of this I've just been rendering this month as that's all I can really do at the moment. I'm going to be releasing v.0.16 in January which will have all the remaining content for Sunday for both Jenna and Ellie.
Unfortunately I can't even put an eta on the coding changes because I need to get them uploaded/thoroughly bug tested and still need to access a lot of my online references/guides to finish things off, but I struggle to even buffer a video at the moment, so this is just postponed at the moment until they fix the internet in my area. If any of you are a really high level guy at Three Mobile or EE, please fix the 5g!
Going into 2024 should see the completion of DLC, but I'm going to be making some changes to tiers as some of the current rewards I'm not doing and to make them a bit more worthwhile, there are no changes to access to updates, just the additional rewards.
There will still be occasional polls and other things I'll do, this is just what will be guaranteed each and every month for each tier in addition to your current update early access.
Changes to $5 and below:
None.
Changes to $10 (including Solicitor & Trainee Solicitor):
Monthly renders and votes aren't being done so this will be removed as a reward.

Will be making a new 4k e-calendar featuring a different girl each month and will have access to this.
Changes to $25:
Customs are going to be removed, simply put they take up a monstrous amount of my time and I want to focus this on development instead.
If you already signed up as $25 before now and haven't claimed your custom but you want it, don't worry, I will still absolutely 100% honour your custom and make it (custom queue has now been cleared so new ones will be made after v.0.16's release) when you request it, this is just for new sign ups going forward in the new year.
Monthly renders and votes aren't being done so this will be removed.
Will be making a new 4k e-calendar featuring a different girl each month and will have access to this.
Alpha Testing access for v.0.17 onwards provided you have been signed up for more than 3 consecutive months at this tier and request it.
Reason for the time factor here is that I don't want somebody signing up at this tier, getting alpha access and then sharing a bugged build before I can fix it, you also don't have to do this, just if you want to. Current people will continue to do this as well, this is additional people if they want, not replacements for you guys.
Monthly vote for a group custom render (that will also serve as an in-game collectible image) and a suggestion room in Discord where you can put your ideas and I'll add suitable ones to the next month's poll.
These changes will go live tomorrow or the day either so you can edit pledges/cancel/downgrade/upgrade as you wish prior to January's billing cycle.
Thanks for all the new and continued support, and look out for v.0.16's release date which I'll post after the New Year!

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't every girl except (Vanessa , Steph) being a weird bitch?

Well ... there are very encompassing reasons why these girls are the way they are:
Ellie lives with her mom who is totally working the wellfare system to keep her family afloat, her sisters are all acting gold diggers, her best friend is trying to make her a gang banged escort slut, she even tried to turn MC into her ”daddy” - Ellie is all kinds of stresse outta her mind trying to make it doing honorable job despite the easy whoring route or wellfare state ... Chloe and Sam all want to buy sluty clothes and sell their bodies, Chloe gets to do it and even somehow gets the praise from Ellie, even tho she is precisely doing what her BFF wanted Ellie to get into - sell her virginity. anal, gangbang to the Titan Owner who is blackmailing half of London with his Titan handlers and is using his suggar daughter who is the bff of Ellie to buy deals with overseas parties.
Vanessa is a chief inspector who is running the squad in charge of investigating Lydia, she is not de facto pulling the strings, she is the chief police officer who is giving the orders in the field, b ut the whole case is run by that bitchy detective and the prosecutor she answers to. MC has no reason to hold anything back from Vanessa, as everything is pointing to Titan, so MC and Vanessa is MC pursues her is the power couple able and working tirelessly to bring Titan down, at that point Vanessa has no bone to pick with Lydia as she even gets released from arrest. If you go deeper into the lore of this game, you would find out MI5 is actively fighting Titan to make sure they do not kill MC or Lydia, to which MC becomes a willing collaborator in snuffing out traitors to UK wanting to leak/sell/export overseas national secrets. MC is working with Vanessa and everything he holds out on her she already knows to be irrelevant or outside the scope of her enquiry, she is not invested in finding the actual culprit, but she wants to know the truth and is aiding MC in finding the truth - how deep is Titan involved.

Yeah i get it about Vanessa , but for me at first she just takes the hall trust thing up a notch where everything is not a truth will result in her trust being 0.
Ellie however

Vanessa has a very realistically portrayed flaw every police woman has - they have to lie to keep the secrets about their cases, you do not see Steph or Vanessa spilling to the press and MC is not using the exposure of his titan victim former employer and actual present client at all - that would mean real writing chops to make that work.

The dynamic every policewoman has with her peers and the lawyers is precisely the same - they will hold out and only show hands after they have won, any and all in between talks about the case are overly complicated cat and mouse lying games where they throw false informations at the other side to ”catch” them lying or throw them off course from what they are really thinking.

Just watched a police investigation movie where the MI5 officer is de facto running the investigation using policemen she treats like inept neanderthallian underdevelloped pupils she can scold and treat like garbage while barking her orders at them and putting them on the spot all the time. She never discusses actual case files or data the whole movie, only after the vilain is coerced/tricked/swindled into confessing does she show him and us the evidence - the audience is held hostage the whole movie while this authoritarian knowitall lying secret agent manipulates everyone - her suspects, her peers and anyone stupid enough to get in her pressence - only to show them all she is the top dog shitting on their stupid infantile work the whole time.
but for me at first she just takes the hall trust thing up a notch where everything is not a truth will result in her trust being 0
The game turns the tides on Lydia from sure suspect with incomprehensible motives and weak alibies to sure victim of a very deadly bigger foe who is actively fighting the police, the MI5 and Charles and Lydia and winning all the way - Titan
