Follow up question though... who the heck is THIS character from the promotional image?? I've gone through the whole game so far, but cannot recall ever meeting this person...

Mine is exactly the same. I'm thinking nothing has been released for them yet maybe?
it's a question that's actually already been answered, but no one ever uses search... It's the Harpy and River, them still being a question mark is an error assuming you're on their paths.

As TigerWolfe said, the left one is River and the right one is the Harpy. River is waiting on Main Story events for her stuff to be written, and the Harpy has only 2 scenes so far.

This is a DLC character, Ashira, a djinni. Her story is closely tied to Serafina's. She's one of the characters whose story is pretty independent of the main story, so there was no reason to show her. Her story

I don't mind answering this repeatedly if necessary. F95 doesn't exactly have a FAQ sidebar or Known Issues sidebar or anything that stays persistent on the side of the page no matter what page you're on. Which would be REALLY useful.

If it helps, I've seen some pages where the Developer's Notes section was used as an FAQ.
It isn't ideal, but at least it's something, and people could simply use it as a reference rather than having to type the response each time.

What Amy did to Cecilia is absolutely disgusting. What makes a person torture their younger sister to that extent? I felt physically ill when that scene was shown, and it felt like part of my soul died.

Yeah Amy is a pretty disturbed character that's for certain. Here's hoping that they can eventually help Cecilia in the future.

I still question that scene to this day. That was written back when I was in Novel Mode, and I like to generate hatred for antagonists to make the emotional payoff of finally dealing with them sweeter. I've learned a lot about the AVN genre of storytelling since then, and I think about that scene often and wonder if maybe the rig was too much. I think I felt I needed something extreme enough to inform Cecilia's equally extreme behavior once her crush began distancing himself from her. I also wanted to give Aurum a reason to spring into action, accidentally exacerbating what Ashley was doing with Cecilia's crush/obsession instead of alleviating it. But knowing who Aurum is as a character, I really felt that was exactly what he should have done.

Ashley is a piece of shit, though, you're right. Like Cecilia, her problem behaviors stem from a reason, but it only explains her actions. It does not excuse them. And this story is about resolving issues, not glorifying them and letting them run unchecked, so this will come to a close in the future.

I don't think it was too much, and it certainly does the job of making Cecilia's sister, Ashley, a hated character. For me at least it's her and Willy that are the villains of the story. Those blob creatures that attacked Nook and are currently on the Spirit Elves homeworld might be a threat, but I don't actually see them as villains; more like the equivalent of locusts.

As I've said, loved the fight with Willy, as a start to the beatdown he has coming, and I'm looking forward to him getting the rest of his comeuppance. It might be a bit dark, but my semi twisted mind came up with a future event where Wither is set loose on Ashley so we can watch her decay and dissolve. Oooo, or they could find a way to take the life essence from Ashley and transplant it into Nook to restore her; turning Ashley into a decrepit crone. Perhaps they can also transform Willy into a footstool for Mrs. Clements, or a roll of toilet paper on a wednesday after taco tuesday.
Sorry, I'm just feeling a little vindictive against the antagonists, I want to see them punished, and it appears my filter is broken. :sneaky:

There is a little oversight in -to not spoiler anything- the blue secret character.
When you look for her the second time the protagonist says she is nowhere to be seen and decides to go swimming...but in the background images she is still lying in the same spot you found her the first time ;)

Yeah that's being fixed. Thank you though!

New Supporter Benefits! Helping Fellow AVN Creators

Hey, all!

So over the 4 years that I've been doing this, I've been getting more and more questions from fellow writers and AVN creators. And since I do manuscript formatting and book coaching as a side gig, I thought it might be useful for some if I included my knowledge in the support tiers for WCA. That way, people who want writing advice can sign up for it at the level they desire.

AurumBook (4).png

So first things first, I will be making and releasing at least 1 video per month covering various writing topics, but mostly focusing on character crafting and story depth, as those are my strong suits. I aim to release more once I have more time and work less, but 1 video a month I feel I can commit to and deliver consistently.

Supporters at Tier 4 and above will instantly get access to the entire archive of writing help videos upon signing up, and will continue to receive new videos each month while signed up.

Supporters at Tier 5, however... you'll get me, via Discord DMs or elsewhere, to personally help you with writing questions about your project, tailored to your individual project, characters, and storylines rather than only general advice. I'll come up with character quirks, plot twists, you name it. And anything I come up with in relation to your characters, you own. This can be for AVNs, books, games, anything that requires writing, I gotchu. These benefits are now live on , , and ! So if you've been looking for some writing help, consider either of these options! The monthly prices for these services are a fraction of what a typical book coach costs (I paid my book coach $10,000 USD for her help publishing my first book, just to give you a comparison), and I hope the value of my 24 years of writing experience can help some of you elevate and supercharge your stories and characters!

I will be in the process of making the first video this week. I still have to figure out a release schedule, but as soon as I nail something down, you'll know.

Thanks for your time, and looking forward to helping some of you with your writing projects!

- Vic

So I'm just starting this game and maybe I'm just blind but how do I start the game at Season 1? Because hitting start is clearly dropping me into the middle of a plot. I mean I guess it could be an in media res intro, but it doesn't quite feel like it.

Your game is out of date. You can either redownload the game or you can visit my Discord (link in my signature), navigate to the #wca-known-issues channel, and get the Quick Fix file there.
