Waifu Wonderland v0.4 Waifu Fan Release

After a lot of difficulties, Waifu Wonderland v0.4 is finally here!

This release is going to be a bit different than usual. The game is up with placeholder artwork, but I'm going to try to continue working on artwork and add in new pieces as it goes through early access. I had considered holding the artwork to the next release, or even delaying this release until some of the artwork was done, but decided to do it this way instead. Mainly because of the move coming up next month.

If I were to delay this release to at least put in artwork for the lab scenes, it likely would have gone into early access around March 1st, when is around when it's currently scheduled to release to the public. Which means the public release would have been on the 15th, which is just a few days before I leave. Giving zero time for me to fix any bugs that people find until after I've moved and everything. Since most bug reports come after the public release, and I'm going to be busy with moving and training and all that fun stuff. So to ensure that the release gets to the public March 1st, which should give me the time to fix any bugs and do another release, I'm just going to update the game as I complete artwork throughout early access. I will say that I'm only going to update the lab artwork. Everything else will come in the next real update.

EDIT - I'll update this section of the post when I add new artwork.
Juno - 
Juno's scene and sprite are done and are attached as a hot patch.

Just copy the www folder into the Waifu Wonderland folder and it should pop up asking to overwrite files, click yes and the artwork will be in the game. I'll be updating the web version as soon as I can, I just wont have time today.

Still planning on finishing up Hikari's scene and adding it before I move too. I'll update as soon as it's done.

For this release I tried converting the project to MZ as well. Mainly because it's just way more convenient since it just works natively on my laptop. It works perfectly fine making the game and testing, but for some reason it doesn't export with the MV scripts still activated. Luckily I was able to just open the project with all of the changes in MV and export that way. So that's how I plan on doing releases for now.

Lastly, since I had to delay the release due to an injury (I'm fine, just gonna take time to heal), I wasn't able to do proper testing. There's very likely to be major bugs, especially in Freya's questline. Be sure to save frequently in case something happens! That was the primary section I didn't get to test, but I'm sure there's still some stuff I missed. Please let me know if you run into any major bugs, and I'll fix them as soon as I can!

Anyway, on to the patch notes! I also included notes on what I added to the patron only release, for those that didn't play that version. I also separated out which characters got new artwork and which ones have placeholder artwork.
