Waifu Wonderland v0.4.0 Release

After a lot of difficulties, Waifu Wonderland v0.4 is finally here!

For this release I rushed through a lot since I thought I wouldn't be able to add more to the game there for a while and then ended up getting injured (I'm fine now), and couldn't do as much testing as I would have liked. Normally I test with an ongoing save and then again with a new save, but I didn't have time to test with a new save this time. I also tried converting the project to MZ. Mainly because it's just way mo...

That's Disappointing

Someone decided to share paid content. So that's really disappointing. I figured it would happen eventually if the game got big enough, but it's really disappointing that it happened with the game being so small. It's not like the game is super successful and making tons of money. It's currently at $34 a month. Which I am very thankful for. It's just not very much compared to most other games. Sharing content before it goes public is extremely damaging to small projects like this. If the game...

WW Poll #9 - What Artwork Should Be Done Next?

With the newest version of Waifu Wonderland having a lot of placeholder artwork, I thought that this month's poll could decide which artwork gets made next! I wont be able to work on the game much this month, so it will help give some direction once I sit back down and start working again.

Not included are the lab scenes, since those are priority #1 and will be included in the next update no matter what. The Working Girls also aren't included since the scene is basically done, I just ne...

March Update - The Big Move, Waifu Wonderland 3D details, and 3D Poll Results #1

First off, I hope everyone has been enjoying the newest version of Waifu Wonderland! I'll be getting to working on the artwork as soon as I can!

Strap in everyone, this is gonna be a long boi. First we'll talk about the move and everything. This bit was the part I accidentally publishes a couple months ago :clown:, so it may not be new. The last part is though, as I'll be detailing how artwork patches are going to work. After that I'll be revealing some of the specifics of Waifu Wonderl...

Waifu Wonderland v0.4 Waifu Fan Release

After a lot of difficulties, Waifu Wonderland v0.4 is finally here!

This release is going to be a bit different than usual. The game is up with placeholder artwork, but I'm going to try to continue working on artwork and add in new pieces as it goes through early access. I had considered holding the artwork to the next release, or even delaying this release until some of the artwork was done, but decided to do it this way instead. Mainly because of the move coming up next month.

I...

Waifu Wonderland will continue development!

I am very happy to report that I've finally got RPG Maker MV working on my laptop! So development of Waifu Wonderland will continue! First I'll talk about what happened, and then how it's changed current plans. I'll still be doing a release this month as planned. Here we go!

How!? -
First, how did I suddenly fix the issue? Well, it's a somewhat long story. I've been working on transferring what I can to my laptop for a while now, and recently I picked up some HDD doc...

WW3D - Character Poll #1 - Superstars

Okay everyone, we have our very first poll to decide which characters get scenes in Waifu Wonderland 3D!

For this poll, we'll be looking at existing characters to include! I'll be taking the top 2 characters and putting them into the game.

I decided to make this first poll the "superstars" poll. Taking who I think are among the most popular characters and pitting them against each other. I feel like if I included any of them in another poll it would be too much of a blowout. It's ...

February Progress Update and A Change In Patron Tiers

Posting this a little early because I'll be busy most of the week and then all weekend helping a family member move to a different state.

First off, I wanted to give the monthly progress update. Here's the current to-do list.

Add final lab character (done)
Do lab ending (done)
Finish Angela's storyline (done)
Add pregnancy and new scene for working girls (done)
Add new scenes and outfits for Rinko, Freya, and Aoyagi (in progress)
Add 4 more rare women (done)
Add ...

Early Update - Progress and Announcing Waifu Wonderland 3D!

Well, anyone reading this probably knows I kind of messed up and accidentally published a draft of the March update lol :clown: It's deleted now, but anyone with email notifications could have read it. So to pull back the veil a bit, I normally do create drafts of these posts early, then update them and add information as needed. That's one of the reasons they're usually fairly big. With my move coming up, I've been working on making and scheduling posts as far ahead as possible. And I've got...

WIP Rare Women Introductions

I've slowly been working on porting over the models for the ghosts/rare women over to Blender so I can put them into the game. Been a while since I've done a real WIP post, so I thought it would be fun to do a short one real quick introducing them. They haven't been completely finished, posed, or properly lit yet. No optimization or rigging or anything yet, the models are just in Blender so far. But this is what they look like.

I've already introduced Raven and Aviva, as well as talked ...

Jan Update - Release Date and A Waifu Wonderland "Retrospective"

Happy New Year everyone!

I didn't have time to do a full retrospective look at the year of development of Waifu Wonderland in the last post, so I wanted to talk a little more in-depth about the history and my thoughts on how development has gone this first year. If you'd just like to see the progress, then feel free to jump down.

Some of this I've talked a little bit about before, but here it goes. When I first started Waifu Wonderland, it was actually much much different. It was ...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays - Waifu Wonderland 1 Year In

Merry Christmas everyone!

Today marks exactly a year since I started this Patreon. Thank you everyone who has supported Waifu Wonderland over the last year! It's become my most successful project and I'm glad so many people have been enjoying it!

I was going to do a special illustration in celebration, but I just didn't have time. Instead, I put together a special render for the season, I hope everyone likes it.

Waifu Wonderland Patron Exclusive Release

It's finally here, the long awaited Patron Exclusive release of Waifu Wonderland!

Due to only being able to work on the game sporadically and for very short periods of time, I forgot to keep detailed notes on everything I was changing. The patch notes still give a solid overview of what's changed, but there may be some minor things that I missed. I did my best to test, but please let me know if you run into any bugs!

With this update the game has gone over the file number limit fo...

Poll Results - How Development Will Go For Now

To keep from stalling too long and taking away from dev time, I've made a decision on how to move forward with development.

Thank you to everyone who liked, commented, voted in the poll, and for those that became paid patrons. It was really motivating to see people involved and it's clear that people want to see more of the game.

The vast majority of people voted for the Finish It Later option, but the Good Enough option was a respectable second place. It made it clear that peopl...

Opinion Poll - How do you want development to go?

After thinking about it a bit, I wanted to get people's opinions on how to proceed with Waifu Wonderland. For full context, you can read the Dec update.

Basically, I wont be able to develop the game after I move in March because RPG Maker MV doesn't work on my laptop, and that's what the game is built with. So I have a few options I'm considering with what to do with the game. Here they are.

The Risky Option -  
Do as much as possible before I move, t...

Dec Monthly Update - An Unmitigated Disaster

It's time once again for the monthly update!

Like the title suggests, last month was pretty terrible, and there was a lot of bad stuff that happened. I'll go into all that first, then talk about progress. If you don't want context, you can jump down.

To start, my part time job that was supposed to be a maximum of 20 hours a week, has had me working forced overtime every week since the start of Nov. I've been working 12+ hour days almost every single day. I only had 3 days off in t...

Nov Update - Dev Status and Collectables Post Launch

It's once again time for the monthly update!

I'm sure it's been odd with me saying that I wont be posting to focus on development, and then having a lot of posts lol. I just wanted to be sure to release all of the promised content here. Which is why the posts were just quickly thrown up rather than on any set schedule. I may do other quick little posts like that for the outfits from the last poll as I finish them. Not really sure yet though. At the very least, I'll still be doing monthl...

Aunt Cass and Nyl's Widowmaker Animations + Ifalna Renders

Finished up all of the 3D poll collectables! Now all of the content for the patron release of WW is basically done. Just need to do the color variations for the working girls and then resize everything for the game. Then it's on to the programming. I've already gotten rid of all of the old collectables and setup a new system, as well as remade the gallery. I just need to do placements and testing, and then implement the new scenes for Ayako, Kaori, Shiori, and the working girls.

Anyway...

Blackfire Animation + Collectable Renders + Other 3D Set Previews

Ended up doing the Blackfire set first, since I thought it fit best with the spooky season. Here's a link to the animation, and below are the renders that are being added as collectables.

As a side note, collectables will only have a white guy. I don't have textures made for a black guy yet and I want to get these done as soon as possible. The 3D ghosts are planned to have a black guy for the blacked version though.

Poll #8 Results and Discussing Full Development

I'll get to the poll results farther down, but I wanted to discuss a change in development first.

I was starting to put together the next poll when I realized something is holding back development on Waifu Wonderland considerably. It's causing there to be delays and is making it so that less content gets added. It's even limiting what I can do with the game. I'll explain.

The next poll was going to be an opinion poll seeing what kind of update schedule people liked the most. The o...

Poll #8 - Which "side" characters get a new scene and second outfit?

For this poll, we're going to be deciding which existing side characters not only get a new scene, but also get a second outfit!

The idea is that the side character will appear in a different area than they usually do, and will be wearing a different outfit. I'll go into detail about what the secondary outfit would be when I post each of the options, because it will vary depending on the character. I had considered doing sketches of the new outfits, but there's a lot of options, and si...

Oct Monthly Update and Poll Results

Another month has gone by and we finally saw the release of v0.2.1! I hope everyone is enjoying it!

Good news everyone - 

First, I wanted to mention some good news for Waifu Wonderland. Basically, I'm going to have more time than I thought, and may be able to add more than originally planned to v0.3.

I finally got a more solid date for when I'll be moving to Japan. Up until now, I heard it would be anywhere from January to March. But recently the compan...

Patron Post - Implementing Pregnancy and "Random"/Area Order

For this month's patron only post, I wanted to show off some future plans, talk about plans for implementing pregnancy, and how I'm figuring out how to implement pregnancy for as many characters as possible.

I've been working primarily on making scenes for existing characters that had to be cut from v0.2.1, so no new character intro this week.

When I started developing Waifu Wonderland for a public release, I had wanted pregnancy, but didn't build it with pregnancy entirely in min...

Waifu Wonderland v0.2.1 Release

It's finally here! v0.2.1 of Waifu Wonderland!

I did my best to thoroughly test, but I'm sure there's still some stuff I missed. Please let me know if you run into any problems and I'll fix it as soon as I can.

To make things easier, all the downloads are on the itch page.

Poll #7 - Which 3D Character Gets A Collectable Set?

Since 3D Collectables got both the popular vote AND the most weighted votes in the recent poll, I thought I'd do a poll letting everyone decide on a character to get their own set!

I was originally going to just do one set, but since the option was so popular, I'll be doing up to 4! That's right, 4 sets! These sets will be put into the game in different updates throughout the year. I'll detail how they get picked below.

I have a few options l...

Poll #6 Results and Meet Aviva!

To get the next poll started as quickly as possible, I'm doing this week's update a little early.

Alright, so poll #6 has come to an end, and the results ended up being pretty surprising. Here's where everything landed.

WIP - Lazy, Creative, or Efficient?

This week I've been working on finishing out v0.2.1 for release, and have been working on finishing up Madison's sex scene. And it made me think of something that I struggle with a lot.

What is the difference between being lazy, being creative, and being efficient?

This is something I struggle with a lot, because there is no clear answer here. I have my own take, but you can argue that coming up with a creative way to do something quicker is both being creative and efficient, but ...
