Hey Folks,
Don't use this thread for pointless off-topic talks. I have to ban you if you continue this behavior.​
Please and thank you! I'm sick of our relevant discussions - like posting rankers of our WAL waifus, or fun speculation about upcoming plot events - being constantly derailed by an endless stream of new-account whiners who logged in just to cry that high quality free porn is taking too long. :rolleyes:

Well, a forum is there to discuss things. So if members chime in and say "Hey, I think they could need some help, progress seems to happen slow given the amount of money they get pledged", then that's a legit topic to discuss.

And what I often see here, is that others users who feel like their personal very own project just got attacked jump in, defending the developers in their absence, suggesting that everything they do is perfect - the best it could be - and that there's no room for improvement. According to these posts no dev ever is relaxing on the huge loads of money they make through Patreon each month, and they all strive to end that great time of their life asap by finishing their project.

So this discussion wasn't about if they're doing it "wrong", or if they're secretly evil, or scamming their audience. It was about whether they use the 90k they got in the past 10 months efficiently enough to speed up development, or if they take it to make themselves a good life and just work slow and enjoy the trust and patience from their audience.

If it works for them, it works. People are pledging by free will. I didn't judge that, I never made a statement whether that's ethically correct or not. The only thing I stated is that given they didn't release anything for 90k in the past 10 months, they could certainly benefit from some help to speed up things.

Maybe I or you or another user would also do things slow with this amount of money and enjoy all the free time. In the end, if people are willing to fund it that way, you're lucky.

But people who read this thread are still potential customers / pledgers, so their opinion is valid, even if this is a pirate website. And their concerns are also legit. For some it works this way, for others it's too slow, it's fine to express or discuss that.
That's the post i'm looking for. And if you say this on their discord, they simply fire your ass. As you said, and imho the amount of cash they make with months is crazy. At least they can hire someone and speed up things.. having child or patrons are vote for the longer updates bs is not an excuse. Sad that boot lickers from discord are also here too like mf tf you even defending them for? you get the shit free from here so what. Or they probably those who paid for it and pretend to be they don't waste their money and act proud of it lol. Otherwise i can't see any reason, they must be having a blank life.

If you've played the game then you are sure to have noticed that the artwork is awesome. Really good work.
If you've played the game then you are also sure to have noticed that it consists of the same 2 -3 scenes which are recycled.
Same scenes but with different characters over and over again.
Same uninspired story with no plot which makes no sense.

Why would they hire someone? There is no need to.

Glad to see the thread wipe from last week and the mod warning got people to think ....... Oh wait
Downloaded WaL recently, and getting a bug, hoping I can find the solution here. I'm at the part where you steal the runestone and Lana goes back to the Cursed Mansion with you. Just as things get going, it crashes. How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.
What crashes how ? The game does nothing ? It crashes to Windows with no log ? You get a traceback screen ? It tries to format itself ? Try the 0.6.02 bugfix, if not, give less details and hope some1 can provide more help

Sorry, you're right, should've put more detail into it. Now, it's not doing it, so....yeah. Didn't do anything different either. Sorry for the bother.

Weekly report 156
Hi, everybody.
I hope you're all doing well. Here's a summary of our work since the last report:
Chestnut:
She finished the looping artwork and then spent two days working on various images for cutscenes that she had already started -- I posted a video from one of them earlier today -- before beginning work on a new background.
Pistachio:
I worked on the big event from the end of Gomira's last quest. It involves several characters and has a lot of dialogue and action sequences, so to change things a little, I also wrote some convos and posed them. Another thing that I worked on, which is not unusual for the posing job, was editing the text and tweaking the events to ensure they worked well.
Next week's plan:
Chestnut wants to finish the background she has started and begin a new one. I have given her a small list of new sprite additions I need, so if she has the time, she'll also work on those.
I plan to focus entirely on the big event I have at hand and pose as many of its scenes as possible.

That's all.
Have a great weekend!
Cheers

P.S. A question for everyone: which of the towns shown on the World map would you like to see next? We added Cin Town in 0.6 as part of Rose's quest and would love to know what towns you look most forward to visiting (I plan to make a poll out of it later).

I was going to ask someone to summarize what's been happening because this update has been unusually long then read a bit, they had a kid? And someone said - but not confirmed - this might be a longer update on top of that? No wonder.

Welp. My dick is a little sad, but it is what it is. Hope they're managing to not get overwhelmed with taking care of a child and balancing working on the game. I'm a leech so I can't really comment with any real weight to it but I think maybe split updates would be wise, but eh, I'm just excited 'cause this is my favourite porn game. I'll check back in a month or two.

To the devs (though doubt they'll see it): Congratulations and hoping the best for you. I know a new kid is exhausting without worrying about disappointing patrons.


...really hope I didn't read wrong and am totally off-base on all this, oh boy I'd look silly.

They did have a baby and also Pistachio underwent a leg surgery that went slightly wrong and had to be repeated. About the update length, he said last week on Discord that
it has more words than the previous update, but that doesn't necessarily mean more content since it has several action events that are more fast paced and I imagine will be played quickly, but are complex to make

Understandable! Thanks for filling me in on more detail!

I work a job where I basically do motion graphics for documentaries, right now, so I know how long things can take to make versus how long to experience. It's brutal. Think hours of work for less than a minute of footage. I can't imagine they won't get more complaints but I appreciate them taking their time and making something they'll be proud of.
