Mr devs for player to more see your game in f95, i suggest you to creat banner to put in the down of the post... Use the people who like your game to have it and make you publicity, it get you some visibility even in another game forum, and nearly all the devs do this. I think there are post in general forum for this specialy.
When a li look nice i usually clic on the banner to see what game it is. And i see you don t have this in yours.

That's a great idea! I'll have to figure out how to make banners and GIF banners especially. If you have any resources you can point me at, I'd appreciate it!

So I just discovered rage developing is a thing. Had a shit day and now Mouse has 3 new side scenes for the next update. Should channel this energy like this more often. Though the last scene took me 4 goddamn hours because I was experiencing a disparity in the amount of bounce that was in the editor and the amount of bounce that was in the generated video clip.

[PROGRESS REPORT] Slight Change in Side Story Philosophy​

Hey, all.

Not only is the main story segment of the next build finished, but I also have 7 out of the 9 scenes I'd planned for the Side Story content finished. However, rather than stop at just those two scenes and release it, I kind of stumbled upon another method of thinking when it comes to side story content.



What I'd been doing previously is selecting a batch of girls and doing 1 scene for each of them. I recently had a bit of a shit day and went into Rage Dev mode, and now Mouse has a chunk of 3 new scenes in her side story. Thought to myself, "Huh. You know what? People are probably gonna enjoy a smaller number of characters having scene batches delivered like this rather than a bunch of characters getting 1 scene at a time."



So I think I'm going to adjust to this more happy medium in regards to developing character side stories. Probably not gonna pick 10 characters per patch anymore, but the 4 or 5 we do pick are probably gonna get 3 to 4 scenes apiece. This next build is gonna be a mix of the two philosophies, as there are a few characters who get one scene, and there will be a few characters that get 3 or 4.

I'd like to do this with at least 2 more characters for this next build, 4 scenes each. And one of them is the secret character you unlock for pestering Yuka too much, so you'll finally get to see that in action.

And with that being said, this next build is definitely releasing in March for supporters and April for the public. 4 main story scenes, and 15 side story scenes instead of 9 if I get my way. Excited to bring you more WCA soon!

Impressive work as usual, liking the girls and what you made out of them in this log, kinda interested how this already solid plot progresses as certainly there a quite a few questions hanging around. Also as you mentioned about rage developing glad you found a optimistic release of it via channeling it into your work, definitely if it gets built on an overwhelming amount would certainly suggest politely to take some relaxation too, as eventually think as the creator one needs to preserve their energy and well being even if it makes the release a bit delayed, which is fine as one's well being certainly takes an higher priority. Take car there!

Thanks for reading Dev, best wishes for ahead

Seeing that pic makes me wanna ask........

Will we be able to get Nook back to her normal younger self soon?
She deserves a full happy life with the MC, not a shortened lifespan thanks to her emergency teleportation.

Absolutely. We need access to something in the main story first, and then Nook's side story will become available. She's a fan favorite character; I can't abandon her to her fate or I'd get lynched lol

So what did these past few months go into?

Well, about 30% of the dev time was spent on backend systems and building out the rest of existing features. Now, there are two sides to this coin. The bad side is, this means there are new variables. THAT MEANS YOU WILL NEED TO START A NEW SAVE OR YOU WILL ENCOUNTER ERRORS. The good side is, this should be the last time you have to do this for Season 2 content until Season 1 is rewritten and combined into one game with Season 2. I hope.

Speaking of the S1 rewrite, that took up about 30% of this period's dev time as well. I wanted to make some real headway on it because frankly, I've been holding off on advertising the series while it's still in a state that has a high chance to turn away new players due to the overwhelming negativity the story starts of with. It was a huge mistake to try to write it as a novel, and it'll take a lot of work to undo. But there has been significant progress. I've detailed a bunch of what's been done and what's still to do in the #updates channel of the WCA Discord server.

The other 40% of dev time went directly to Season 2 content. As stated in earlier updates, this update focused more on Side Stories than Main Story content. That being said, this build contains:

• 4 new Main Story scenes and the end of Season 2 Episode 2.
• 15 new Side Story scenes if my count is correct (I may be wrong)
• New Time of Day system and display on the map screen
• FINALLY, the unlock for the first secret character works, and she currently has one scene, which you must view at night.
• A reorganization of the character roster. Cecilia and River have been moved to the Secret category, and other characters have been moved into the Core category for you to look forward to.
• A system that now compares the quest variable for each character to a "maxquest" variable (how many total scenes the character has) and if they match (meaning if you've seen all their scenes) the character's portrait will be GREYED OUT AND UNSELECTABLE. That means no more having to read that you've seen all their scenes!
• Access to 2 more Core characters than last build

2 scenes for a second secret unlockable character were written and shot, but we failed to find a good place in the story to place her unlock condition, so we're saving her for potentially next build. I know there's more I did in this damn build but I can't seem to recall it. Next build will be heavily Main Story focused and contain fewer Side Story scenes. I'm estimating a release in June for the game's 3 year anniversary, hopefully.



More to come soon! The build will be updated as the high tier supporters deliver their feedback, and as we make our way through the release schedule, the build will be more and more fine-tuned. Excited to bring you more WCA!

Nice to hear. But you forgot image descriptions so I'll add those.

1. Best Christmas present ever! MC nude and chained to the bed.
2. Are you sure you want me to take your virginity. You're quite small.

[PROGRESS REPORT] Not Me, Just Casually Writing Half an Episode in One Week​

You know, typically I take a little bit of a breather because getting a build ready for the release pipeline is super stressful. But this time it wasn't. Might be because I'm doing a lot less by the seat of my pants these days, with a ton more planning. Not to mention brainstorming with Necromedes, which is making things a TON easier.

So I ended up writing over half of the next episode before this last build made it to Tier 4 supporters. And it's not stressful, more like I have momentum and I'm in the groove. We have the characters picked out for side story development (2 Core and 1 DLC), and we're currently in planning phase for each to have 3 scenes added.



Which means, if I have my way, I'll have finished writing and shooting the entire Season 2 Episode 3 before the public even has access to the end of Season 2 Episode 2. And if everything works out the way I want it to, that means when the newest build releases to the public, I'll already have ANOTHER one in the pipeline for Supporters.

Monthly updates. That means monthly updates. From 3 updates a year to 12.

It's been a long time since the game and its creation has been in this good of a state, and it feels GOOD. The one thing I COULD use is another poser, someone to pose models and shoot scenes here and there for me, who has knowledge of HS2/Ai Shoujo and StudioNEO. That's the only thing that could help speed things up even more.

Honestly, I'm super excited. If I can even get updates to every other month, for 6 updates a year, I'll be happy. But the fact that this is going so EASILY makes me hope for monthly updates. We've had quite a few people signing up to the SubscribeStar lately, and a couple hopping onto the Patreon, so I've been able to ease back my work schedule a little and work on the game more. Plus, I cleared it with my boss to take my laptop with me on my Sunday shift, which is where I got 75% of the aforementioned work done.

Things are looking up for WCA.



So here's the plan for the next few months. Yes, the Season 1 Rewrite is a big priority, but the story in Season 2 is reaching a point where I may have to let my foot off the gas on that rewrite just for a bit. 0.2.3.0 is currently in the release pipeline and is available for T4 Supporters. The next release should be 0.2.4.0, which will contain an ENTIRE episode of Main Story content, Episode 3. Because of where Episode 3 ends, the update after that should be 0.2.5.0, which will contain the full Episode 4 of Main Story content. That's right, 2 Main Story updates in a row. Typically I would do a Side Story update in between these two, but because of what's going on in the story, that may not be possible. But after we get through Episodes 3 and 4 and start getting into Episode 5 and have a big event there, we should get back to Side Stories.

Thank you all for your patience, feedback, and love. You make this game possible.
