How've you been? I hope everyone's doing well and that you all had an amazing month.
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone here for your support. I really appreciate it. I didn't expect Wild Cats would be received this well. It hasn't been even a month yet, and I have so many of you here supporting me already. And I, for one, feel extremely lucky.
Next, I'd like to announce a couple features I'm planning to implement in the game:
Named saves
Character screen/bio as well as to show the current points and relationship you have with the girls.
A better main menu (animated)
Scene gallery
If there are any more features you'd like to see aside from the ones above, let me know. I'm open to ideas. My DMs are open for all of you (both on Discord and here).
With that out of the way, next is the progress status of Chapter 2 so far:
250 renders
2 animations
4.5k words
1.4K lines of code
Yep... As soon as I put out the first chapter... I immediately jumped in to work on Chapter 2. I'll be ramping up these numbers soon. I honestly suck with estimates, so if I had to guess, this should be around 15-20% of Chapter 2 already.
There is something I'm debating for Chapter 2, however. And that's whether or not I will cut it into two parts. The reason is because the planned content for Chapter 2 is about the same length as Chapter 1 currently has. While the length is fine and all, the amount of effort I'll be exerting in Chapter 2 would be twice as much. But I understand that more releases mean more exposure. And more exposure means more growth. I'll announce it here in public once I've made a decision. But if there's something I CAN promise, it's that I'll be releasing something this year.
Lastly, I'll be using all of the donations you've all given me this month to upgrade my PC. Believe it or not, I made chapter 1 with a PC comparable to that of a toaster. So having a more powerful one means better quality renders (I plan to render in 8k and downscale it to 2k size) and faster setup time.
That's all for today.
To all of you once again, thank you. You guys have no idea how much motivation you are giving me. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a DM.
Access to monthly 4k wallpapers (NSFW) are usually only for Snow Leopards and above. But as a token of my appreciation for all of your support, and since this is my first ever monthly wallpaper, I decided to give this out to Snow Leopards too for this month.

An Android version has been released. Apologies, it took so long. There were some issues, such as removing the side overlay in the main menu and the phone messaging app, where the text messages weren't showing up. It's fixed now. If you encounter any issues, feel free to let me know on Discord.
How's it goin'? Just wanna say thank you all for the support. I had one person who was crazy enough to sub to me even before the game was released, and now I have 13! I don't know if that's a high number or not in a span of 4 days after the game's release, but to me, it sure is! Seriously, thank you!
Wild Cats is basically a first for a lot of things for me, including writing, directing, programming, working with 3D graphics, etc. You may have noticed while playing that the level of quality was constantly increasing as you play throughout the game, and I can assure you that it's only going to get better from here.
Now that we've managed to tame the Snow Leopard in Chapter 1, let's talk about Chapter 2, where much more fiercer cats awaits.
Chapter 1 took me around 8 months to make. It'd probably be a lot shorter than that if I worked on this full-time, but alas, I gotta eat and pay rent :< . In any case, I've already finished the planning phase for Chapter 2. It actually might just be the same length, or even more than chapter 1 so depending on how much time it's going to take to complete, there's a possibility that I might need to split the chapter into two parts/releases. But as much as possible, I want to give you the full experience. I'll make sure to update you guys on the progress here.
Originally, I was going to take a break for a week or two and go back to Lands Between to beat the crap out of Messmer, but it looks like he's going to have to wait. Seeing my subs go up like this just got me more motivated to work on the game.
Next, the Wild Cats Discord Channel is finally up! I welcome you all to join. Feel free to chat with me. I don't bite (Get it lol). Just click the link below: https://discord.gg/uYA3RZzBaF
Lastly, here's a 4K wallpaper of Fiona inspired by a certain hunters game.
Once again, thank you all for supporting this game.
Hello everyone. For the few that have followed and supported me, thank you very much for waiting. Wild Cats first release is now available for download!
The update contains:
36k words
9000 Lines of code
1200+ Renders
150 Sound effects
35 Music tracks
13 Animations
I never realized developing something like this would be this hard. Definitely one of the harder things I've done in life. Every minute of it was a challenge, but enjoyable at the same time.
This is the first game I've ever done, but if you can find the time and give it a chance, that'd be amazing and you will have my eternal gratitude.
The game's free and will always be. Just go and click the download links below.
Hey friends. Quick update since it's nearing the deadline. Good news and bad news.
The good news is, I've just finished the first build of the game! 100% of the story, renders, sound effects, and animations have been coded in Ren'Py and are ready to play. I'm already excited to share it with you guys. The bad news is that I'm still working on putting music in the game and fixing the main menu. It's also being proofread again.
Apologies that I couldn't hold up to my promise, I'm afraid I'm going to need to push the release for another week. But after that, everything should be ready.
Hey friends. Now that I've completed the previews of the six main LIs of the game, it's time to post a dev log.
Where do I start? On my previous dev log, I've said that the game's 85% done with renders, sound effects, and script coded in. I didn't expect the lewd scene to take me 3 weeks to finish. But it has been done regardless. Now, the first release is at 95% completion. I'm pretty much wrapping up now and hope I can push it out, as I said before, at the end of June.
Now here's the thing: I still need to do a couple things before I'm able to push this out. This includes finding suitable BGMS for scenes, creating logos for the college teams and mine, editing the main menu (I am not a coder, so I'll be learning it as I do it), and lastly, setting up a good UI.
Nevertheless, I will still try to push to release it by the end of June. And for those who still have doubts about whether this is a real game or not, see the short video above.
Thank you! Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
For the few of you that are here, just wanted to give you an update on the game. Everything's been going smoothly and if all goes well, I should be able to release the first release of the game by end of June. Supposedly, my planned release was May, but I decided to add more content in the game to get the full experience. With the first release alone, you can expect 2.5 - 3 hours of content already.
85% of the story, renders and sound effects are already now coded into the game AND proof readed. Please just bear with me a bit more. In this first release, I plan to put you guys on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and I hope that after you're done reading it, you'll go in again for a second ride.
I'll be creating a Discord server very soon and will make sure to inform you guys once it's done. For now, here's an in-game render of one of the Love Interests.
Hello and welcome to my patreon page! I'm LopaPhi. You can call me "Phi". I aim to craft visual novels that resonate deeply with fans of the genre.
Introducing the current project I'm working on right now. "WILD CATS".
And sadly no, it's not a furry game lol.
You are a highly anticipated up and coming volleyball star. Or rather, you were up until you destroyed your shoulder and your prospects along with it by overworking yourself. Now you're just a nobody who drowned your sorrows away with a series of poor life choices.
This story takes place after a wake up call following a year of wallowing in despair with a life that spiraled downhill under the shadow of the star volleyball prospect you once were. You have just received a vague invitation for a meeting from the Dean of Baskerville State University, a highly prestigious university, regarding a potential scholarship when no other universities would give the current you a second glance.
The condition of this scholarship however would turn out to be facing your demons as you return to the sport you turned your back on in a new role, becoming the coach of the school's women's volleyball team. But little did you know that facing your demons would be the easiest part of this task as the team is riddled with fatal problems, each threatening to end your scholarship left, right, and centre!
Yet by earnestly facing these girls and their issues with your eyes wide open, you might just end up growing in a way you never thought you would. Are you ready to coach the BSU Wild Cats and lead them to victory?
The story itself is now 70% done. After that I just need to customize the main menu, UI, fonts and character menus which should just be done really quick.
Follow my page to keep track of the updates. If you like what I'm trying to do, please consider to support my work! By doing so, this would keep me motivated as I can see there are people out there that loves what I put out! Best help you can provide - sharing this game!
