Shifting Benefits - Your Thoughts?

Hi, all. I was looking at my Tier Benefits, and I noticed something. 

CURRENT BENEFITS:

T5 - Creator gets to create an in-game character AND gets access to the game 2 weeks early.

T4 - Tester gets access to the game 1 week early.

T3 - Supporter gets access to the game a few days early.

And T2 - Player... gets to participate in polls. But doesn't get early access.

I've been thinking about shifting things around so that people who are paying $5 a month g...

[RELEASE] Chapter 5 Days 1 and 2 + Quality of Life Fixes

Here we go! The first actual update to the game!

The two days of Chapter 5 that you'll be able to play at this point include:

• Over 360 images
• Nearly 2000 lines of code
• 1 Lewd Scene with 21 video clips
• Character Story Progression for 2 girls
• Small Relationship progression with 3 girls
• Visible teases for 3 new characters
• In-dialogue hints for 3 more new characters

This build also includes a TON of Quality o...

A Decision About Releases

Alrighty folks. Time to make a decision. 

Build 2 comes with tons of quality of life improvements, script changes, and an overall smoother experience for the player. What I have so far are the first two days of Chapter 5.

So the decision is thus: Split Release or Full Release?

Split Release: Release the first 2 days and QoL improvements so that new players don't have to deal with issues that have been fixed for nearly a month. Have a second release near the end of Augus...

(Preview) One of the Most Requested Things

Hi, all! Just wanted to thank you for your patience while I'm learning my workflow. I've gotten to the point where I almost have 2 of the 6 days for Build 2 done, and one of the things that has been most requested in my Google Forms feedback is Cecilia's backstory.

Many people have commented that they want to see why Cecilia became the obsessive, murderous psychopath I've shown her to be in the game so far. Seeing the opportunity to dive into another flashback, I took it. Chapter 5 will...

The Discord is Important!

If you're supporting the game, you should absolutely be in the Discord! I'm much more active there than I am here or on any other posting-style site. It's there that you get all the juicy lewd previews that show where I'm at on the next build, and get to see your favorite girls in new situations before the builds are released! 

Make sure your Patreon account is linked to your Discord by going to Settings here on Patreon, then the Apps tab, and connect to Discord! Doing this will en...

Game Direction and Release Window

Now that I've gotten a handle on exactly how much time I can spend on the game in my current work and life situation, I have a much better idea of how long each update will end up taking. Let's get the important bit out of the way and not clickbait you: I hope to release Build 2 with Chapter 5, which will be 6 in-game days of content, by the end of August. 

Also coming in the next build is a Phone Messaging system if my feature coder can finish it in time for me to write a specific...

Leftovers from a New System

I was taking shots for a new system the feature coder is making, and I had some leftover extras. So I threw them in the #previews channel in the Discord and I'm throwing them here 'cause I figure y'all might enjoy seeing a couple of the upcoming characters. 

Enjoy!

Remnants of the Past - Devlog

Just posted a devlog on Itch that those of you who like to know the history of a game might be interested in!

However, I DID note in the devlog that I was saving the spicer stuff for y'all... so I uploaded some test H screens to the Discord in the Supporters Only section. Make sure you link your Patreon account with your Discord account so you can see them!

Update Schedule Poll - How often do you want game updates?

Hey, all. With the inclusion of a new coder into the mix, the subject of a release schedule for updates has been heavy on my mind. I've had a couple of options rolling around in my head, and estimated times for all of them. If given the choice, how would you prefer updates for World's Crossing Academy be delivered?

New Character Poll

Hey all! First off, thank you so much for your support! I promised you a chance to influence the game, and here's the first one. 

Let's put it bluntly. The Goblins, Nook and Tilai, are VERY popular. So much so that I'm considering creating a third Goblin with a wildly different personality.

On another scale, most of the petite characters are also pretty popular. 

Bearing in mind that there are still LOTS of characters you have not met yet, if I were to spend a coup...

Build 2 Progress Report!

Check out the current progress of Build 2!

Pinup - Group 1 (Nook, Cecilia, Jade)

I'm not a booty guy, but some of you are, and my philosophy is "Something For Everyone." 

So here you go.

Pinup - Cecilia

For my yandere loving friends, here's Cecilia in all her crazed glory. 

Pinup - Nook

Everyone's favorite Goblin girl is out on the beach in next to nothing... what more can you ask for?

Pinup - Jade

It occurred to me that most of you who are signing up are doing so near the end of the month, meaning that you've paid for June and have gotten no real benefit from it. 

So I decided to post some super high resolution pinups of some of the game's most popular characters over the next few days that you can save and use for wallpapers or whatever you like! Here's the first one!

Compressed Versions!

Hello, all! Up to now, the biggest request was to have compressed versions of the game. I had no idea compression was a thing. So I went through and reformatted all the .png files to .webp and renamed them as .pngs so I didn't have to change the code. This shaved about 3 gigs off the download weight. Here ya go!

Private Alpha/Demo Version Out Now!

Hello all! VictorSeven from Team EmberWings. 

Over the past few months, lots of things have been changing. This was originally designed to be a team of three people. However, it seems "Team" EmberWings ended up being just me doing the majority of the work. 

That being said, I took the time to learn a bit of Ren'Py on my own, and took the framework Rimulex created to remake World's Crossing Academy from a sandbox style game into more of a linear visual novel. Since this i...

What is World's Crossing Academy?

WCA is a lewd/adult/erotic/ecchi visual novel that places a heavy focus on character depth and quality, quality of story, and memorable interactions.

The Setting

The game is set in a world where fantasy races exist, but in separate dimensions. Through the development of Goblin technology, these dimensions were able to be bridged, and the World's Crossing Academies were c...
