Just played the game. Story was good and renders are decent but does anybody else get very annoyed when POV is used on kissing and sex scenes? Imo it just ruins the renders so badly that they arent even hot anymore cuz cant see faces, etc and sometimes its just look so ridiculous. I mean not every POV sex angle is bad (i still prefer 3rd person tho) but what comes to kissing... ugh, that ruins them completely. Got enough of that crap on DMD game. :( Otherwise i dont mind POV that much. I cant be the only one who feels that way?

I think we all to some degree are conditioned to enjoy third person for sex due to porn (which is why we do have some third person in the sex scenes), but the general consensus in VN's is first person is king for immersion. Even for kissing and awkward angle sex. Same as not seeing the MC's face. At least that is what the polls often say. Many of which Cheeky did before deciding on such things. Of course not everyone feels the same and that's alright too.

You should see the kissing in WVM. It's a great game, but you better like a lot of duck face smooching. :)

Yeah man to be honest i fuckin' hate it that sex scene with Monica (which we waited for so long) with that 1st person angle and close ups, but then the scene with Katie came at the beach house and that was more 3rd person and wide angles and it was beautiful, i only hope he doesn't blow it with Elaine:love:

Did you replay the monica photo shoot sex in ep 15 after the beta (there were some changes)? There was some 3rd person angles, though it was a lot of closeups. The katie scene though did have some great angles.

Looking into it kamigan87. At least the base game works without phals mod right?

Phalzyr any more ideas phal?

Oh, and if anyone else uses Mac and phals walkthrough mod that may have had an issue. Please do chime in? :D

Awesome game!! I like the story and excited to see what happens!! Honestly hope there is some kind of harem ending or something because if not all the relationships are gonna go downhill XD. I really like Tommy's mom. I hope their is more with her. And that cliffhanger... So many games lately have been having them. Excited for next update!!!!

Oh, just throwing it out there, but Cheeky is offering a "gift" to someone who comes up with a nice trailer for WTHI if your interested. It could be a custom 4k wallpaper, it could be sweet nothings whispered over discord... Oh, and I imagine credit for it in the game.

Phew, well it took some time but I finally managed to revamp my bland and boring .txt only walkthrough into a proper looking one. Do yourself a favor and use this one from now on since we aint going back to that simple text file. This guide aims for a possible harem ending (Not confirmed for now), so most scenes will be viewable.

Also, don't let Lily's booty distract you ;)

* Update: Walkthrough has been update with Episode 16!

** I will only update the walkthrough when the FINAL version of each new build has been released by Cheeky since there is a possibility that some scenes may change after his team has gotten feedback from the BETA build. Also, I have a life too so don't expect the walkthrough to be updated instantly after a new release, of course I will get onto it right away when I have time to do so!

So here are my leading candidates for Ditzy:

- Bella: A good possibility given she is right under the nose of Elaine and the MC

- Angel: My leading candidate right now. The way she described dating an older man what connections. The timing seems far too close to to be be ignored.

- Jolina: Thee is something to Jo beyond the simple coffee shop owner she presents herself to be.

- Lily: I am only willing to admit its a possibility but I don't think its a secret Lily could keep unless she really is smarter than she lets on about. Also I cannot see her keeping something like that secret from Debbie and Katie.

- Theresa: A real long shot though I seriously doubt this one but the MC's father is a big enough asshole to call her religious convictions Ditzy.

It could be someone else entirely as well.

Clearly thee is someone manipulating the MC in some way. He would not have contacted Monica left to his own devices because by his own admission they were out of his life so long stopped thinking about them.

Dev Update
Hi All,

Just a quick update to let you know that work on Episode 17 is ongoing. We have two artists working on this episode with us (along with Ace and I in the writing department). I'll post some sample images straight after this post. I'll put some from me and some from the new artists (but I'm not telling who did what :) )
Very difficult to put a % readiness on episode 17 at the moment because of the previously mentioned artist search. However, as I mentioned in my last update, I'm not hitting the panic button yet.
Artwork:
At the moment, we have a completed scene rendered by me plus another scene that I'm working on. We have a scene being developed by one artist and another scene being developed by the other artist. And we have the other scenes mapped out but not rendered yet.
Writing:
We have a fully completed scene plus multiple other scenes in different stages of writing (some almost complete, some just in first draft and a couple yet to be started).
So based on all this and being a very disjointed, it's difficult to put a percentage readiness and an estimated release date at this stage. I know that'll be frustrating for some of you but I don't want to bullshit you with some random date that is not accurate.
We are just over 3 weeks into the Dev cycle (recently it's been 6-8 week dev cycles), so still plenty of time to pull it all together. And as per previous episodes, the length will match the Dev time. So if it takes us a bit longer to get something out, we'll try our best to make sure the episode length / play-time is increased to match -And I don't mean we'll just add in a lot more dramatic pauses :).
Also, Ace and I have been bandying around a few ideas for future additions (music, sound, effects, improve the quality of the earlier episodes, etc.) but I'll most more on that and on future goals at a later date (Let's concentrate on getting Ep17 complete first)
Let me know if any Qs or if you have any inputs.

And as always - thanks a lot for the support.
