[ACCESS] 1.4.8.0 Moving to T3 Early!

Hey all! We've had a good handful of signups on Patreon and SubscribeStar, so as thanks, the newest Main Story update is moving to T3 access early! Here's the new schedule:

• August 11th August 9th (Now): T3 Supporters ($10, found at SubscribeStar and Patreon)

• August 18th August 16th: T2 Supp...

[RELEASE] 1.4.8.0 Main Story Update

GOOD. LORD. This episode is massive, no two ways about it. We have about 60% of the full episode done, and we opted for a split release because of how huge it is.

I played through it on Auto mode, and it took me about 2 hours to get through if you include the side content. I know most people read faster than that, so I'm estimating about an hour and a half more playtime.

This Main Story update is resolving some of the longest running conflicts in the story. We spent a lot of time...

August 2025 Calendar with Birthdays + 4K Render

​Little late with this calendar, but I think you'll forgive me. Main game is higher priority than the extra content, and we do things like this when there's not something important to do in the main game.

Here's our August calendar! Unwatermarked version and 4K render attached at the bottom of this post!.

[PROGRESS REPORT] Pleasant Surprises Abound

​I wasn't expecting to have another update so soon, but it seems the things we were fixing ended up being fairly simple. Here's where we're at:

​

Lot to tackle in this one, so I'll try to keep it short.

First, we're in final testing phase for 1.4.8.0 which will be about 60% of Season 2 Episode 5. Soon as that's done, I'll submit it to Estrada for the Android port, then start the release cycle...

[PROGRESS REPORT] An Executive Decision

Hey, all! You're gonna notice the progress graphic looks a little different.

What is this "First Half" sorcery? Well, as I said in the last post, this episode is absolutely massive. Probably triple the size of any of the other S2 episodes, and that's without manually counting. We've gotten a ton done, and a lot of people have been expressing regret that they have to wait so long for a release....

[PROGRESS REPORT] Oh Boy, Here I Go Gobboposting Again

​You know the drill. Progress first.

​

Team's been working extra hard this period. Senia is 1 scene away from full release. Once we shoot and score that, then it's off to bugtesting her entire DLC, and then we release her to the public! Will probably take us another week or two. In the meantime, T5 and T4 Supporters will get Senia 0.9 shortly after I'm done posting this, where you can play every...

[GIVEAWAY] Thank You for 4 Years!

4 years. 4 years I've been making this game. Good god. 

Technically June was the 4 year anniversary of World's Crossing Academy's launch, but better late than never. We wanted to do something special for the community, specifically for those who can't support the game financially but still stuck with us this whole time. Most people know completed DLCs are locked to T3 or higher, or available for sale if you're not on the SubscribeStar or Patreon. So a lot of people just... are...

[PINUP PACK] 4th of July 2025!

Necro and I put our heads together and we have some NICE ones for you in this pack! 11 girls, 2 shots each (a third topless shot of each for Supporters), featuring a lot of girls who haven't gotten much time in the spotlight, or that maybe you haven't seen yet. A few favorites mixed in, of course. Here's a little teaser.

Supporter downloads are at the bottoms of the SubscribeStar and Patreon p...

[PROGRESS REPORT] Ideas Abound

Hey, all. Before I get to yapping, here's where we're at:

And a quick reminder of our roadmap:

Most of the work done on Season 2 Episode 5 was setup. We needed a ton of new models, made a couple of adjustments to existing models, and most of us worked on setting up scene cards to make the shooting of the scenes ea...

[PROGRESS REPORT] Beating Some Frog Monsters

Oh boy. This patch, man. This episode. I wish it could just be DONE and out for you all to play, 'cause after last episode, we need some things to go right. 

I've gotten a lot of questions about Nook lately. Do we get her back? Do we help her? When? The answer is yes, yes, and soon. To go into more detail, the beginning of this episode focuses on helping the Spirit Elves take back their kingdom from the Marbog, which involves beating some frog ass. Doing this gets you access t...

[Tied for First] Supporter Custom Pinup 1 - Aoibheann

Alrighty, folks! The first place tie on both Patreon AND SubscribeStar was Aoibheann, in her Freckled Fox outfit.

Since she was chosen on both platforms in first place, I did one shot for each platform and a third, bonus shot. You're getting all three :)

I was not expecting Aoibheann to be as popular as she is. She was one of the first models I made, and I feel like she's in need of some updates as far as textures, and making her freckles more pronounced. I have a few ideas, but I...

[Tied for First] Supporter Custom Pinup 1 - Tilai

Denizens of Patreon, your 2nd place choice was Princess Tilai, our Moss Goblin leader, in her Christmas outfit (made by Necro).

Tilai is a very special character. She was the second goblin I created after Nook, and I wanted her to have a more delicate approach. A lot of people don't know this, but "Tilai" isn't her real name. She took an Elven name because she thought it sounded more elegant and refined than her birth name, Gubgruz.

The Christmas obsession idea was an accident. I ...

[2nd Place] Supporter Custom Pinup 1

So I'm really good at mixing things up. You probably noticed I posted and quickly deleted a post, 'cause I got the order wrong. Tilai was tied for 1st, not 2nd. She'll be posted next.

Patreon peeps, you picked Saffryn in her Cowgirl outfit for 2nd place!

It's no secret that Saffryn is my all-time favorite. I struggle not to give her too much spotlight and be fair to the rest of the girls. It's tough. It's really tough.

Saffryn is one of the outliers in WCA. Most of the gi...

[3rd Place] Supporter Custom Pinup 1

Denizens of Patreon, your 3rd place choice was everyone's favorite little mud goblin, Inphyy, in her Regalia outfit.

Inphyy's story is something I've been thinking about for a while now, and those of you who have played Senia's DLC may know some tidbits of it. The Regalia outfit is sort of a look into the past. Before the Moss Tribe took power. Before Inphyy was aman-gehek to Senia.

I got the name "Inphyy" from a game called Ninety Nine Nights, an old Xbox 360 title. I al...

[RESULTS] Supporter Custom Pinup 1

Thanks for voting, everyone! I spent some time doing the shots over the past couple of days when I couldn't seem to write for WCA, and I think these turned out great.

Patreon picks were:
Aoibheann and Tilai tied for 1st place
Saffryn in 2nd
Inphyy in 3rd

SubscribeStar picks were:
Aoibheann and Cerros tied for 1st
Ember and Lirum tied for 2nd

Aoibheann was tied for 1st on both platforms, and that surprised the hell outta me. So I did extra shots of her.

Supporter Custom Pinup Poll 1

Hey, all! As you know, I've been practicing with Volumetric Lighting lately, and the more I do it, the better I get at it. Attached is a more recent example. This is Ashira (Expeditioner):

I thought it might be fun to let all of you who are supporting us have some fun with this! So each of you can comment on this post with a pinup request. I'll present a list of girls and outfits for a 2 day p...

Some Volumetric Lighting Practice

I'll take any excuse to show off the girls. This time, it happens to be demoing a new Volumetric Lighting system. Was a BITCH to get working, but it ended up turning out pretty nice. Thought I'd share some of my test shots.

Featured:
- Aoibheann
- Eshtel
- Druthari
- Ember
- Wither
- Mouse

Figured it might be nice for our Free supporters to get a little glimpse behind the curtain at what paying supporters get to see :) Enjoy!

[PROGRESS REPORT] Windows Can Eat Me

Hi. Progress report. Do I sound angry? 'cause I'm angry.

Alright, we woulda had more progress except that one scene took me all goddamn night and part of the next day. And that's because it had 112 shots, some of which ended up as video loops. Oh, but that's not the kicker. While renaming the default names of the images, I realized I'd screwed up and needed to undo that. So I did what any sensible perso...

What Are Your Favorite Supporter Benefits?

Hey, all! I really wanted to do a pulse check on which features our Supporters love the most. This'll help give us a sense of what things you feel are valuable and worth your subscription to us. Check everything that makes you feel like you're getting your money's worth from us.

​​​Hey, all.

[PANDORA'S BOX] Pack 2 - Oops! All Goblins! and End of Exclusivity

Hey, all!

Over the past couple of months, we've heard some feedback from you all regarding our ultra-spicy Pandora's Box packs. For those of you who don't recognize this name, Pandora's Box packs are similar to our Pinup Packs, but MUCH spicier. They're typically 10 high res shots with excellent lighting plus a full length HMV (Hentai Music Video).

Up until recently, we've only offered Pandora's Box to our T4 Supporters and up, with no way for anyone else to get their hands on t...

Also, some news! I just finished editing the HMV for our next Pandora's Box pack, "Oops! All Goblins!" Necro did a fantastic spread of 10 shots that must have been absolute hell to pose and do the lighting for. For the HMV, I chose a song in Kazakh because the langu...

[RELEASE] 1.4.5.0 - To Release or Not To Release

I love Blossom to death but she's a pain in the ass. Here's where we are:

AS YOU CAN SEE, this build is ready for release... all but Blossom's last two scenes. And I hate to say it, but I'm stuck on her. This happens more often than you'd think, but every idea we come up with, my gut feeling tells me just isn't quite right. And I don't write an idea until it feels right.

So the question is, do I...

[PROGRESS REPORT/PINUP PACK] Easter Mini Pinup Pack by Necro

Hey, all! Bit of a dual post here. First, progress report on 1.4.5.0:

Slow but steady. We've had some adjustments in the team as well. Ischwhit has left the team, and we wish him luck, as he's taken over the main development of Stray Incubus. We've got a couple of other people interested in learning the posing and shooting process, so we're exploring those avenues as we work.

Hey all! I've been promising this for a while, so here it is:

The patches with the numbers below them are Side Story patches, and they show the girls for whom we'll be bringing the scene count to 5 total. The patches with the numbers above are Main Story Episodes, and the thumbnails showcase the antagonist we'll be taking down in that patch. I've left the last one a surprise. And finally,...

[PINUP PACK] Sexy Spring Pack, Free to All!

Since I've made so many outfits lately, what better way to show them off than a brand new pinup pack? 25 shots, mixing clothed and topless shots, with 5 extra special renders mixed in. And the best part? This is a public pack, with nothing held back. And you folks said you liked the "Skins" approach to character outfits, so I kept with that. This pack features:

• Princess Tilai (Sexy)

• Aoibheann (Freckled Fox)

Also, on suggestion from the Discord, I changed the format of the birthdays. Since the month is obvious, and different parts of the world write dates in different formats, I just listed the day instead of month/day. Less angry Europeans this way.
