I only managed to cross off two names from the most beautiful female cast poll, but I'll only count it for October, so November still has different wallpaper rewards.
Akemi and FMC are the 4K desktop wallpapers this month.
All that remains from the poll are Yukine, Hikari, Haru, and Miho.
As for the mobile wallpapers' outfit:
Underwear - 16 votes
Casual - 8 votes
The next mobile wallpaper poll will still include "Casual" in the choic...
Chapter 18 - My Time with Them
Too long, didn't read at the bottom
As usual, I'll address the paying supporters first so they can skip the parts they've already read. If you haven't played chapter 18 yet, play this one. The link to the walkthrough is also linked below.
The development calendar has been updated: I will do my best to stick to it, Chapters 19 and 20 aren't as big as this chapter. What's worrying is the execution, it's the succeeding chapters...
Chapter 18 - My Time with Them
Too long, didn't read at the bottom
Hi, it's finally up; this took 34 days by my count, but this time it really did need that much time. I was free the whole time I was doing this, as I said.
Normally, I'd pour in 4–8 hours every day for a chapter; this chapter came in at 8–12 hours a day. I even worked on it for ...
This is the first time I'm making an actual progress report, likely because our chapters are done w/in less than a month, so there never was any need for it and I have to think of something else to put on the exclusive release's post as well.
Don't get me wrong, we won't take that long either; as I stated before; "Dobby is free" to develop the game this mont...

A quick poll for the community:
I need help deciding what Kanehana will wear for an event in Chapter 18.
I'll be making the renders and animations for this event last, so y'all have enough time to answer.
The black T-shirt says, "Are you kitten me right meow?"
Poll ends on Nov. 3....
Let's keep this short and simple.
Sooooo, since our first and second sets of mobile wallpapers were well-received(I actually don't know if they were),
This is a poll for the next set of mobile wallpapers.
Kindly choose from the options below what our heroines would be wearing.
Only 1 choice per Patron this time and the poll ends at chapter 18's exclusive release.
Chapter 17 - Earworm
What's in this chapter? Well, we're hinting even more at something big.
Oh, and this chapter has 800+ Renders and 48 animations.
Patrons, let's address the new things first in the public update so you can stop reading immediately.
- There are scenes that have variations ranging from small to big depending on your choices throughout the game, the differences are now viewable in the gall...
The photo of Akemi above is a scrapped concept, I wanted to share it.
Here they are! The wallpapers for August and September. The mobile WPs were nearly ready last month but I didn't have enough time to apply the finishing touches and had to focus on chapter 17's development.
I managed to cross a few names off the MTWY's Most Beautiful Girl poll winner and runner-ups.
For the mobile wallpapers, there are 2 variations and I also noticed that they could be ...
Chapter 17 - Earworm
This is the first chapter that went over a month in developing, 33 days to be exact. I assure everyone this won't become a regular thing, I promise, even if I have to give one each of EO's arms and legs. We shouldn't nor do we need to take that long. As I said; I am free to work on MTWY for the rest of the month. I'll catch up on everythin...
Chapter 16 - No Secrets
For Patrons who still have not played the latest chapter, download this one.
Patrons read this part, I'll tell you when to stop.
We're at chapter 16, wow. While I was making this chapter I took a look at Kanehana's idol persona's first appearance in the game back in chapter 3 and compared it to how she looks in the latest chapter and I'm a bit stunned at how bad the initial ones were, even after retext...

We'll keep this as short and simple as possible.
This section is for the bronze tier and above.
Poll results for File Hosting Services:
1. Mega - 23 Votes
2. Google Drive - 22 Votes
3. Mediafire - 10 votes
As you may have seen from the used mirrors for Chapter 16's Exclusive Release, these three will be used for hosting the game's files. Still subject to change depending on the host's capacity and quality.
Chapter 16 - No Secrets
A pointer about the chapter. There are multiple choices in this chapter that are quite story-changing.
I'm not on board with the whole "point system" in a Visual Novel. I think it diminishes the narrative even if you adjust the points per choice. I went with the "making the decision" at the right moment way of storytelling. I've only seen 1 or 2 ...
We're changing the game's mouse pointer, and we couldn't agree on the color, so we turn to you; our beloved patrons, to d...

It's been more than a year since MTWY was first published, and I'm a little baffled as to how much the cast has grown and how much I have designed, regardless of the participation of each one.
With that in m...
The first set of mobile wallpapers will be based on this poll.
The resolution for the mobile wallpapers will be 320x568 (9:16), but if you want a different resolution, feel free to comment or pm me, but keep it strictly for mobile devices.
So I actually made several outfit designs throughout the span of MTWY, five of which are uniforms only. Pick your favorites and we'll use the...
Chapter 15 - Wallflower's Bloom
Once again, if you're a patron that hasn't played the latest chapter, download this one instead .
Also, skip the wall of text if you have already read it.
Man, this took a while; but as I said, it should've been split into two. We went the other way.
Chapter 15's total: 33 Animations, 1029 Renders.
Regarding the new chapter, you just gotta see it for yourself but honestly, I'm unsure if I'm entirely done wi...
2022-08-25 16:22:34 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a poll for all Tiers because it affects a technical issue, not game-related queries.
Download speed is affected by so many factors, mainly the ISP's actual speed, the downloader, and the host's geographical location. With that in mind, I propose a few alternative hosting sites that we're capable of using to host the game's files.
This is also done in anticipation of the game's future size because even with compression, the game would still be massive, but I will keep EO l...
A bit late for July's batch, it's the 4th week of August, but we didn't have a poll yet for this, along with the mobile wallpapers. It occurred to me a couple of days ago while I was working on it that the Patrons should have played Chapter 15 to clearly vote on the poll. So, polls will be posted after the public release.
I only need to apply the finishing touches anyway for our first set of mobile wallpapers that will be based on voting.
Oh, and here is Hime train...
We're adding a closer view of our schedule and the pace at which we work on MTWY. It will be at least 2 chapters ahead every time. It will be shown via Google Calendar and sent through email, but it will also be posted on Discord for those who want to opt-out.
I believe it is only right that our paying supporters know what's going on with our schedule and how it's handled. This is for all paying supporters.
Adjustments to voting power:

Chapter 15's total - 33 Animations, 1029 Renders.
Regarding the new chapter, you just gotta see it for yourself but honestly, I'm unsure if I'm entirely done with it, might poke at it here and there while developing other chapters; just small details that I believe need adjustments. Oh, and I hate working with skirts. Skirt ph...

Good day, everyone! This is not the update you've been waiting for.
It's fun, mixing all kinds of emotions into a single chapter. Chapter 15 has been going as smoothly as I envisioned, but we couldn't meet the designated date. I've been working on Chapter 15 with every time that I could spend on it.
Adjusted date of release for chapter 15: Aug 5. >> Aug 12-13.

Chapter 14 - Quid Pro Quo
IMPORTANT: IF YOU'RE A PATRON THAT HASN'T PLAYED CH14 YET, DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION INSTEAD.
Kanehana is in the title card, but this chapter is mostly balanced with everyone developing their stories alongside each other.
The floodgates are open, metaphorically speaking. In this chapter, I did some experimenting on the visual a...

Chapter 14 - Quid Pro Quo
Chapter 14! Kanehana is in the title card, but this chapter is mostly balanced with everyone developing their stories alongside each other.
This chapter confused EO since the paths already began to branch but it's not even that complex yet, although the documentation and flowcharts that I'm handling are partly to blame for that. Why am I saying...
Camisole weather, end of summer!
In honor of the top 2 best girls in Book 1, the wallpapers for this month are of them! The two breathtaking ladies of MTWY are enjoying(sort of) the last remaining days of summer and the heat that comes along with it so they decided to wear a little less than usual.
The next wallpapers will be poll-based.
Founder tiers and above are entitled to request 4k logoless versions of any commercial break renders in-game, the one that says "MTWY"...
Chapter 13 - How much do you love me?
Patrons who have played and read the exclusive release, kindly read until the release schedule part.
For paid users who haven't played chapter 13 yet, download this one instead. Little changes; only gallery and typo fixes were done.
I'm sure everyone is excited to play this chapter due to that dreadful cliffhanger the devs left us with in chapter 12 so here it is! This is going to be ...

What? 2 polls simultaneously? It's too good to be true!
Well, it is. This is just a poll to ask all our paid users on which device they play our game since they're all affected by this.
This will affect the release schedule of our android version. Everyone is aware that our Android version coincides with the release of our Public version due to EO processing and compressing that separately, but I have been made aware that we may have Patrons that prefer to play on that device. S...
Now that book 1's over, we'll be asking the Patrons, which of the lovely main heroines has captured your heart the most during their screentime!
We're looking for the best girl in book 1 and she will have an additional spot on our main menu slide show and more! We know they're all extraordinarily amazing, but I'm sure one stands out for you more than the others, so you have to decide who!
It's time to cast your vote to make sure your favorite(s) wins!
Poll ends before ch...

As the graphics for book 2 have been improving as we progress through the story, as we improve ourselves as well, as developers, we felt that book 1's visuals were lacking. So we did what we could to keep it up to par with book 2.
Book 1's renders and animations have been re-shaded and retextured, to enhance the experience for newer audiences as well as people who want to run another playt...
