Don´t know what you mean, because that saying states exactly the opposite of what you´ve written. ;-)



You and the other dude obviously missed in what context i wrote that and -WHAT- exactly i wrote. I simply meant that even if the "parent" is disappointed in you (rightfully so), you still wouldn´t like to see your "parent" mocked.

But whatever, the discussion is going nowhere really, so i guess we´ll leave it at that...
They may be referring to "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", to say that there are bonds stronger than familial bonds. I've seen that repeated before as a kind of "lost meaning" of the phrase.

Thing is, according to Wikipedia anyway, those who originally claimed this to be its lost, original meaning apparently can't cite a source for this claim. Similarly, there is afaik no known instance the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none, is certainly better than a master of one" predating just "Jack of all trades". The other two bits were added later, despite people claiming otherwise.

Still makes no sense in context to anything i´ve written.

Hi everybody.
I hope you're all feeling well and are ready to enjoy the weekend.
Poll results:
1636776974972.png

Last week we concluded a poll that asked Best Friend and Close Friend tier patrons to decide the name of a new character, and as you can see below, he will be called Jebediah.

Thank you to all of you who voted, and I hope you like the results.

Weekly report:
Chestnut:
Chestnut worked mostly on cutscenes, doing several artworks simultaneously and moving from one image to another. One of those cutscenes included an image featuring several women, and you can see the creation of that picture (we will probably share one more video from this artwork at a later stage of its creation since we're finding it difficult to record/share images that are not too spoilery from the earlier parts of the story).
Pistachio:
I focused exclusively on the story, writing the dialogues, and making several changes to improve the flow. I'm happy to say that I'm done with the first draft of all of the main writing.
What's next:
I will spend the next few days going through everything I've written and coded to make sure that the game works correctly and there are no major bugs. Although the dialogues are written, they need a great deal of polish before they're presentable, so I also intend to do the first round of editing. Aside from that, I will create a list of additional hands and facial expressions for Chestnut to work on so that once the editing is done, I can begin doing posing tasks.
Chestnut will continue her work on the cutscenes and the sprites. Rose's character needs many new facial features and hands, and ideally, Chestnut will have some of those necessary additions ready before we begin to pose the introductory scenes in the updates.

0.7 content poll
Next week, we plan to post the poll deciding the focus of 0.7. That will probably be the most important poll published in the next few months, and Best Friend and Close Friend tier patrons will be able to participate in it. So if you're interested in the future direction of WaL, stay tuned for that post.

That's all we have.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers

It's one of those completely baseless retroactive explanations. Like the whole "akshually the army salute comes from knights lifting their visor" bs.

Myrtle as the Protagonist's Sister??

So, does this mean that in the future...
Will Gretta be our stand-in Mother?
And Celestine our stand-in Grandmother?
No, I just joke about having an incest mod for this game in-development. There will not be any actual incest in this game, unless we get threesomes with Serana + Lana or similar pairings.
