S2 Episode 2 Supporter Release and Schedule

Download: https://www.patreon.com/posts/88173592

Hello, all! Here is the Big Large McHuge surprise I promised ya :)

I'm excited to bring you the SECOND major release in 2 months! Used to be, you'd have to wait at least 4 months between content drops and the rest of the time it would be pinup packs and the like. But NO MORE!

[PROGRESS REPORT] Interesting Little Vote

​With the help of my Discord community, I think I've figured out how I'd like to do these releases.

I recently did a poll in side the community Discord. I basically asked, "Do y'all want more frequent updates with less content in them, or do you wanna wait longer for more content?" And, well, here were the results:

I know. I was surprised, too. I thought everyone wanted us to get to monthly ...

I Dream of a Release Schedule - Feeling My Way Around

​Hey, all!

As you're no doubt aware, WCA Season 1 was plagued with real world issues that slowed and sometimes halted the release schedule. As a result, WCA typically only saw 3 updates per year. That's 4 months between updates.

That's way too long.

Now, with Boogle on the writing team, I have a ton more content. The onus is on me to shoot these scenes and insert them into the game. Bearing that in mind, the next content drop should hit the SubscribeStar and Patreon within...

Surgery Needed - Future Plans

​​Hey all! I wanted to discuss a couple of things.

CHANGES TO SEASON 1

With all the work going towards WCA S2 right now, I haven't really had time to go back and shore up Season 1. I'm going to have to make some changes to the story in order to better serve Season 2.

  • All the variables need to be converted YET AGAIN to the style that I'm using in Season 2 so that you can load your game from Season 1 and have it play in Season 2 with all of your choices.

Demo Updated: Side Story Mouse Scene A Added!

Hey all! Small update with some fixes, Mouse Scene A now selectable, and the option to start a new game at the first Free Time section in the Debug menu!

I updated the file in the Google Drive, so the same download should work for it if you wanna access this content, or feel free to wait until I drop a couple more Side Story updates.

Side Story Priority - Core Characters

Hello, Supporters! 

First, thank you so much for sticking with me throughout this rough time in the game's life. The transition to a sequel can often feel like there's a content drought, especially since you all can't see all the work that's going on behind the scenes. 

But today, I'm seeking some feedback from all of you. This is a Supporter-Only poll. Core Characters are non-DLC characters whom everyone will get to play with, and whom you'll probably have to solve an i...

Hello, all! VERY exciting news!

The biggest barrier to progress has been squashed. Nearly all of the game's back-end systems are working perfectly now. Both the Free Time segments and the drop-in DLC systems are working flawlessly. I had to sacrifice the gallery for it, though, but for now I'm okay with that.

[PROGRESS REPORT] Nitty Gritty Behind the Scenes Stuff

Hello, all!

Alright, so I had this devlog written on my laptop all nice and neat like, and I forgot to PUBLISH the damn thing. So here we go again.

First, life stuff. Remember how my landlords are selling this place out from under me and moving to England? Well, I got together with my sis, her spouse, and two good friends of ours, and we all went in on a 6 bedroom house for rent. And we GOT IT. So most of May has been focused on moving all my stuff over there, slowly but sure...

[PROGRESS REPORT] The Developer's New Groove

​Lemme just say it. I have 5 more scenes to shoot before Season 2 Episode 1 is done, content-wise.

"Whoa, where the hell did that come from? I thought this series was dead! There hasn't been an update since November! I want Nook back!"

Relax, relax. I admit, I got stuck. And I didn't realize what was happening. SEVERE burnout from piling way too many projects on myself. I ended up taking 2 weeks off of one of my work sites, which meant I only had to work my job on Fridays a...

Small Rough Patch/ Getting Back on Track

​Hoo boy. How do I start this one out?

First, let me allay any fears, since I haven't posted one of these in far too long. I intended to be a dev who communicated with their community at least once a week, and I'm still fairly active on the official WCA Discord, but that doesn't help those of you who get your updates here. Also, I may have gone on a Goblin-creating spree, and... well...

Two thousand of you. Holy shit.

It's been a wild ride. Lot of obstacles, not of reasons I could have shut this project down. This game is a VERY lucky survivor of a lot of tragic events. But it pulled through, and so have you. I want to thank all of you for your support over these past couple of years, both financial and emotional. It hasn't been easy. I've lost a lot of people, and have piled my plate so h...

[PROGRESS REPORT] Season 2 Framework Complete

Hey all!

Little bit of a gap in communication over the holidays, and I apologize for that. Rather than things getting smoother, they got more complicated. But I do have a progress report for you.

As the title says, the framework for Season 2 is complete. I have a semi-fresh Ren'Py project ready to go that still contains all of the H-scenes from Season 1 so that the Gallery will still be full and you won't have to go back to the other game to view them. That being said, they stil...

Data Doesn't Lie: WCA Season 2 Decisions

Hello, all!

It's been a while since the last update, and I've had a lot on my plate. 2 book formatting and cover design jobs, internet and power outages due to winter storms, and even a Twitch sponsorship. It was the ideal time to let the survey I posted simmer and gather results. And after 120 submissions, I felt I had a pretty good sample size to determine how the community at large would like the next WCA season to go. Allow me to share some of that data with you.

SURVEY with Exclusive Pinup Pack - The Future of WCA

Hey all! If you're not in the Discord, I'd love to have you fill out this feedback form. It's mainly about gameplay mechanics I've seen in other games, and whether or not you think they'd work/you would want them in WCA. This is perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT feedback form I've ever penned, so I included an exclusive Pinup Pack at the end that you won't be able to get anywhere else, with a few nice shots of a lot of the newcomers you'll meet in Season 2.

Thank you in advance!

Supporter Benefits UPGRADE!

Hello, all! Supporter benefits are changing, and I wanted to make a post detailing exactly what you're getting over the next few minutes as I revamp the Supporter tiers. As we approach WCA Season 2, the Security Arc, the needs of the game are changing. I've opted for a DLC content system, which means we will be able to add characters and stories to the game indefinitely.

PROGRESS REPORT: Major Rewrite/Early Release

​​​Alright, I know many of you will be a little bit confused by the title. So let me explain.

I realized that the last major scene on Friday was a bust. I wrote myself into a corner, and the major challenge for these last 17 days since the last devlog was figuring out how to salvage it. Ultimately, after talking to a couple of my consultants (bless them, really), I decided to scrap the scene and replace it with a much more believable and true-to-form scene.

Okay, that probably wasn't the most tasteful title (hue hue hue) but I quite literally have 2 scenes left to write, shoot, and score, and 2 scenes left to shoot and score. Total of 4 scenes. Thursday is finished except for the H-scene, and I'm almost done shooting that. Friday has a HUGE scene that needs to be shot and scored. After that, I have to finish writing the last two scenes before shooting and scoring THEM, and I was considering adding another H-scene, even though those take an immen...

Halloween 2022 Pinup Pack Voting!

Last year, we released our very first pinup pack, which was a Halloween pack, and those of you who got it loved it. For those who didn't, I'm attaching it here for you to download. It featured Princess Tilai, Jade, Nook, and Aoibheann.

So now, a year later, who would you like to see in this next pinup pack? I'm looking to choose probably 4 to 7 girls depending on what costume ideas I have for them. 

Pick as many as you like, and feel free to suggest costumes for them!

Progress Report: ALMOST THERE!

​Hello ya darn cuties, you.

As the title suggests, the next update is nearly ready. This update will be SUPER heavy on story, but light on H-content. So if you're here for the sexy bits, this might be the update you skip, as there is only one planned H-scene right now. I may get inspired and add a second one, if it makes sense.

Onto the actual progress:

Progress Report: The Hardest Part of Creating AVNs (For Me)

What a week. I've finally gotten through the TWO scenes that were giving me the most grief.

Usually, shooting scenes is relatively easy. I load up a scene I've already constructed, add the characters I need, and get to work. But for this coming Thursday, I had to construct 5 new locales from scratch. 3 were almost identical, so they were a breeze, but for the other two, I had to dig through StudioNEO's cache of maps (WHICH HAS NO SEARCH FUNCTION, BY THE BY) and suffer analysis paralysis...
