[PROGRESS REPORT] 1.3.5.0 Progress​

Hey all! I hate intros, so let's go.



Boom. There it is. I put a glow around the stuff that I made progress on this week. Going to ATTEMPT to do these more often, but with my chaotic life and many jobs, I make no promises.

Something that's NOT mentioned is that I'm still working on the DLC system and learning how Ren'py builds packages. I also gave the title menu a facelift with the new logo and way more images in the slideshow that actually show almost all of the Core girls instead of essentially just the DLC ones like previously. From 15 images to 37. Ye.

Another thing I added in S2E2 was changing it so that the shop attendant gives you her name when you go there with River. Tilai's B scene has been edited to not allow you to view it until you've completed that first shop scene, so that way you're not calling her by name before she's introduced herself. Wither's C scene will be the same.

Speaking of which... Wither has been an absolute delight to work on. This is one of the better side stories we've come up with, and I think most will enjoy it. Which is good, since she's the most popular character. You'll get to see a hidden clever side she has as she begins to gain confidence in herself.



We've got some really fun stuff in mind for all the listed characters, but we're gonna keep ya in the dark for now. Until next time!

[NIGHTBLIND] Looking Elsewhere​

Been a little while since the last one of these, so here's another one. Big thanks to you all for the support. Currently looking at distribution to try to get this stuff on Spotify for any of you who use the service. Anyways, here's the song.


Never let someone treat you as a silver medal, a backup plan. Be a priority or a memory.

Written for the same person "The Favorite" was written for.

"Looking Elsewhere"
Nightblind

Lyrics:

Back when we first met, I assured you
You were perfectly built all along
Over the next months, I'd implore you
But you wouldn't stay mine for long

You needed to hear it
From more than just me
You needed to feel
Just how wanted you'd be
Couldn't keep to yourself
You just had to be free

You’re sharing your smiles
Like you’re sharing yourself
You were never just mine
You’re sharing your body
With everyone else
And now I don’t want it

And I would proclaim how I loved you
I wrote you a song then for proof
But that didn't satisfy your needs
You kept looking elsewhere for truth

You needed to hear it
From more than just me
You needed to feel
Just how wanted you could be
Couldn't keep to yourself
You just had to be free

You’re sharing your smiles
Like you’re sharing yourself
You were never just mine
You’re sharing your body
With everyone else
And now I don’t want it
The tables will turn
When you crash and you burn
Don’t come crawling back to me

I know all your secrets now
I know what you were hiding from me
I know what you did behind my back
Why you got so defensive with me
You’re not worth taking back

You’re not worth taking back

You were sharing your smiles
Like you were sharing yourself
You were never just mine
You were sharing your body
With everyone else
And now I don’t want it
I’ll have zero concern
While you crash and you burn
Don’t come crawling back to me
You’re not worth taking back

[PROGRESS REPORT] 1.3.5.0 Has Some Surprises​

Hey! Here's what's changed since last week:



That's right. Galka is up to 5 scenes total now. Got some pretty good work in on Serafina, too. Ember is proving a little confounding, with a couple of kinks to work out and her sort of catch-and-release teasing making writing her opening up a tad difficult. Girl has thick walls, and I want to showcase them crumbling in a way that makes sense. For her, a slow and steady approach only feeds into her defense mechanism; Aurum is gonna have to do something fairly drastic to kind of shock her into understanding how capable he is, and how serious he is. That's the part I'm putting the final details on, and also making a realistic, believable reaction to such a thing while staying true to the genre of WCA.

That means Wither and Serafina will likely be finished before Ember, but that's okay. I want to take my time writing and posing Ember, as I believe she is one of the more unique, quirky characters out there that will really benefit from some hard focus and attention to detail.

That being said, this next patch has a couple of huge surprises for you all, as I figured out how to get a certain type of content to work finally. One is in Galka's questline, and one is for a girl that's not on this list, that people have been begging, no demanding, to see more of. And while you won't necessarily SEE her, I'm sure you'll be happy nonetheless.

Anyways, that's it for today. As always Discord is the best way to reach me, though I DO try to check this at least once a day. Thank you all for your patience and support. Previews in the supporter only section of the Discord

- Vic

 

[shitass1001]

Very excited for more Ember content, she is really cute and I like her personality.

Also super excited for more Wither scenes, I like her story a lot.

and one is for a girl that's not on this list, that people have been begging, no demanding, to see more of. And while you won't necessarily SEE her, I'm sure you'll be happy nonetheless.

My guess is the night guard, we wont SEE her so maybe she will contact MC over text, cause she goes coocoo when she sees a man (still curious as to what she is). Or maybe its the ghost, although I guess it wouldn't be too hard for the MC to see her he just has to look in a reflection.

 

[Excra]

Aha! New month, new income. I've joined support on SS and *desperately* hope others move over to there. I wonder if you could post a message on Pt, or if that would just make things worse...? They've already ruined so many other artists out there, I'd hate to see this beautiful piece warped by their "morals" as well.

On a side note, is there any chance of a relationship with River where she stsys as she is as an optional route? It'd be nice to have even one "alternative" relationship option in there, aside from hetero. Nothing wrong with hetero, just be nice to have a little more variety, and River is perfect as she is.

No, River wants to be a woman because he doesn't feel comfortable, you saying that he likes the way he is is technically rejecting his comfort for your own tastes.

 

[VictorSeven]

No, River wants to be a woman because he doesn't feel comfortable, you saying that he likes the way he is is technically rejecting his comfort for your own tastes.

This pretty much hits the nail on the head. I know a lot of adult games put a lot of power into the players' hands as far as what happens in their world, but in this story, the focus is a little bit more on learning about these characters and their struggles and seeing how you can help. River was indeed written with this in mind, and to become fully biologically female is what she wants more than anything. As the player here, your choice is less geared towards what happens with her and more towards how you can support her and make her dream come true.

Now, Dwel is a different story. Dwel is a femboy and is quite comfortable as he is, and more than happy to flirt with and do stuff in his current form. He's on the DLC list and we should start his story before the year is out.

 

[MikieB]

I have plenty of ideas for other games (Goblin Roommates, anyone?)

Goblin Roommates, yes please Love me some shortstacks.

[PINUP PACK] Light and Dark​

Good
Lord
Y'all

Necro has outdone himself. We had a fun idea of doing a pack that could work for Halloween but wasn't solely Halloween-themed. We ended up with the Light and Dark pack, and this is perhaps the best Pinup Pack we've ever put out. I wanted to try a sort of MOBA approach with this, where I envisioned the girls in different "skins" like you might see in League of Legends or SMITE or any of the other popular MOBAs out there, and it worked out pretty well. We sort of... got carried away. This pack is massive. 11 girls. 6 shots each. 2 bonus shots at the end.

Yeah, you're reading that right. 68 shots for Supporters.

Here are some teasers:

Spoiler: Pinup Pack 12 - Light and Dark Teasers

"Yeah, yeah, blah blah blah, GIMME!"

Fine, fine. For the free Public version, if you're on Itch, you'll find the pack attached to the bottom of this post. F95Zone folks, head to the Itch link.

Also, we'd love your feedback on this pack once you've checked it out! Feedback form is here, and will influence how we do Pinup Packs in the future.

We have more Supporter benefits to announce soon, including a new style of image pack and a small WCA side project you Gallery Lovers will enjoy. Stay tuned, don't forget to leave us a nice review on Itch and F95Zone, and don't be afraid to pop into Discord and let Necro know what an amazing job he did! Until next time!

[PROGRESS REPORT] New Benefits, More on the Way​

Hey, all. Here's where WCA's next update is standing.



I know. Not nearly as much progress this time. Unfortunately, I had to spend 9 days out of state. Half of that on a train, and half of that was spent in Southern California helping my family sort through my late uncle's stuff and trying to clear the house out for sale. I... had no idea how bad his retail therapy and hoarding had gotten before he passed. We filled an entire one of those Uhaul U-Boxes with stuff to get it outta there, and we could have filled 6 more. And that's after an entire year of my family working on this place. My sis and I worked from sunup past sundown for 4 days in a row and it was... exhausting. I'm happy to be back.

But yeah, that's why there's so little progress. For a period of about 9 days, I was unable to work on WCA. But I do have good news. We'll get to that.

First, I promised I'd let you know about two new benefits, and one of them is ready to unveil. These will both be Supporter Only benefits, as we really don't have much that's exclusive these days. That's about to change.



We're excited to introduce Pandora's Box, which will be another style of pinup pack that is heavily focused on kinks and sex play, and will be primarily handled by Necromedes. These noncanon shots will be just as high quality as the rest of our pinups, but we're gonna be a lot less shy about the nudity and sex in these ones. We'll begin production on the first Pandora's Box pack soon.

Now, onto the good news. Well, mixed news, but ending up good. The previous person we took on for renders, which is our biggest bottleneck, has thus far been unable to fit working on WCA into his schedule. So we're trying out yet another person with significantly better availability and no game of his own to work on, which means nearly all of his rendering time can be spent on WCA. We'll see how this works out, because I know y'all are anxious for more content after that preview.

There's more to announce, but I have more work to do on the other benefit, so I'm gonna keep that under my hat for the moment. Thank you all for your patience and support.

That is fantastic to hear as a supporter, have been thinking about WCA constantly, especially after that big cliffhanger so think it'll be a certain treat to savour, so overall good news there and glad you are back and able to work again.

Thanks for reading Dev, best wishes for ahead

Makes all the sense, and yea as you said expect it works out for the better. The idea is seriously good and trust with how good you have made WCA the execution would be great too, so indeed am happy to be a supporter!

Thanks for replying back Dev, best wishes for ahead
