1. The twist is: if only those paying are allowed to criticize it, then...nobody is - nobody "paid for" anything, that is the very premise of "donations" - charity. Nobody "buys" anything, so nobody "is owed" anything. There is a reason developers providing refunds on Patreon not only erase hefty chunks of negativity, but sometimes even gain a credit of trust should they get back to work.

2. Whilst I can buy things like "I got COVID" or even "my house burned down", the tipping point for this particular developer was the "car accident". Irphaeus lied [about reasons for yet another delay] and was promptly exposed. Ever since, people have found it difficult to believe anything coming out of that mouth regardless of actual validity. Hence my earlier mention of Shepherd & Wolf. "Slow work" itself has nothing to do with this, WA is hardly the only game suffering from slow/erratic development process.

3. These "monthly expenses" you speak of...well: firstly, the money is provided in good faith that it would fund game development, not improve personal wellbeing of whoever is working on it, and thus, secondly, if Patreon is your lifeline, then frankly "rape does not even BEGIN to describe how fucked you are". Find a job that DOES pay enough to support you, put the game on hold, get back to it when you can afford it. Instead, Irph started working on another game in parallel.


Bottom line is, the game itself is actually fine thus far - granted, not the best out there (sorry, storytelling), but [in my experience, at least] FAR from worst -, I enjoyed playing through whatever is available, but the person behind it is a procrastinator and a confirmed liar. The developer has proven to misplace trust, so the only metric left is development of further content-to-be-added. And that process is horrendously slow. Probably why people are so focused on it - there is literally nothing else to judge/evaluate.


P.S. there is no such thing as "rights", only "privileges".

I suddenly wanted a constructive conversation on the plot of the game. in the last scene where there was a choice of who to get pregnant, who did you choose? Elizabeth or Katherine? I really wanted Elizabeth, but chose Katherine. I really wanted Catherine to get a real reason to divorce her husband ... so to speak, replenish the harem with such a woman who would not run away. well, if you think about it, not a single woman has yet escaped from a dick of the MC of her own free will, but it was so hot that the neighbor's wife began to walk around the house like an airship.

on the other hand, it would be hot too if the pregnant Elizabeth went to school and the whole class saw her tummy. and if Yoko had knocked (after online execution of Caramella) at the same time - it would have been ... I don’t even have words - Otaku-kun with his delight about the "honey bee" - would be pathetic compared to what I personally would feel =)

What are your thoughts on Elizabeth and Katherine? what choice did you make and why?

The announcement said Irph is going to hire someone to do what you say is lacking right now.
Oh, this guy can announce a lot. Please accept that I only believe in the actions of a person and not in the words.At least as long as I don't know this person personally and can't judge otherwise.
So, what are you complaining about?
I don't complain. I've explained why I don't trust this dude and why I laugh about his simps.



This is exactly what I'm talking about:

I couldn't say it in a better way. This game is good because of the story. The story makes me overlook how incredibly poor the graphics are. But the story isn't good enough to ignore what the dev does. If there will be new content (and I mean more content than just five scenes) I will re-evaluate my opinion. That's what I always do when a new version/chapter/part/etc. in a VN is released. With all the lies the dev telled his patrons he has to publish a very good update.

I personally stand by my point of view: I only pay what a VN is worth to me in the actual moment and nothing more. I paid my dues. Irphaeus got money from me but I'll never give him money before he deliver something. His actual lowest tier is 3 US$ + VAT. So his update (if there will ever be an update) has to be a worth of 3 US$+VAT. Than I pledge him for one month. If it's more worth I give him more. But I have this feeling he will continue disappointing his customers.

Are we playing the same game? sure people are entitled to their opinions about porn games, but this is far from poor compared to other HS games lol.

100% lol

Say what you want about his lies, ethics, delays whatever but he does make quality renders compared to other HS devs.

The only one I know of that actually ups him is Cardibis (Eternum)

Edit: solution found; see

More common than one would think. And an example of why "other games work fine" is not a valid argument. ;) Here you go.


My usual laptop that I game on is in the repair shop right now, so I'm playing on a slightly older desktop that I'm less familiar with. I've played at least a dozen ren'py based games without any issues, but when I went to play Waifu Academy, all of the in-game text is blurred out? Both on menu screens and in-game dialogue text. I have never experienced this before, in this game or others. Is this a problem with the game itself, or a problem with the PC I'm playing on? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Game also seems to crash when I try to view any of the in-game animations, the following are the details from the "crash report":

Kinda confused why this one game would have problems when many others have seemed to function without issue. I stand humbly corrected.

when i played this game it was fine, its likely the PC.

And this developer is not slow, he's just working enough to get one update per year. this is a borderline scam.

What are your thoughts on Elizabeth and Katherine? what choice did you make and why?
In the pregnancy option, although it may also be that neither of us is pregnant, it was simply to see who ended up, but if that were the case, the truth is, I would go for Elizabeth because of the wait, apart from she feels a lot for the protagonist, but better Caterine , but I would not do it to make guarara, because there would be no reason to have to assure Caterine since she betrayed her husband because she did not pay attention to him, etc. because of work, Caterine already did it, she betrayed him and the attitude that Caterine has, that is, when we get caught or later on the train that he wouldn't mind if we were with his daughter or the scene in the bathhouse where he teases the mother shows that he doesn't mind sharing rather he wants to do it so he doesn't have to hide his relationship with the protagonist and can enjoy at any time.
I'm not saying that Caterine doesn't mind jogging, in fact she wants to have it, that's why the part when she jokes that she's going to have a baby to see her reaction, in conclusion, the husband doesn't pay attention to her because of work, he won't change and Caterine knows this, that is why she has already made the decision to deceive, she is almost assured, but she would have to be careful that the husband does not change, because the main character told her the first time about the deception that he will change the ring for a chain around her neck, she Keep using the ring, you have to be careful and decide why she should choose to get pregnant, why she could take care of the baby for a while, why if you realize when Caterine makes the baby joke, the protagonist was worried and changed his plans to
get a job in the zaibatsu, etc. on the subject of revenge, then I would change it and to continue now imagine that with Elizabeth, that is, almost the end of the game, but with Caterine she could hide if she has a child and cheats on her husband by saying that it is his to give the protagonist time for revenge and ensure a better future for the harem, even if her husband discovered her, she is an adult, she has the mother of the protagonist to help, etc., while with Elizabeth that would be more complicated since she is young, so better if it was Caterine at that time.
Sorry for so much text I wanted to be as detailed as to why make that decision between Elizabeth and Caterine, later I have other opinions about Sheila and Minami about why they would help in the harem but better just there xdxd

I better tell you after the update because as he showed in the advances and that a part of Sheila is coming and I would like to draw more conclusions with that, because it could show the position that she is taking more strongly if we make her win the contest
