Weekly Update #3

Great week! I finally beat Starling's section!! It took two weeks and four days of a fever but was finally done! I am very proud of it too, I had a lot of fun!

Now, I want to take just a week to update the plotting in my notes, make sure to go over some coding that was a bit iffy and dialogue options that were being a nuisance within the link.

So, plan for later:

  • To get the scoop on Clare Buckley's life and Luke.

  • Get back to the cottage FINALLY, its ...

Early Access: Chapter 1.5 Release

Chapter 1! It ends around the halfway mark of the entire chapter, with way more to come. There is the start to the Witch's investigation, leading them out to find Luke's one remaining family to talk. The Grimoire has been added, a Reputation page, and a quick start for those who want to skip the prologue and the origins.

Simply download and launch in browser!

Update on Early Access!

So, for those on the highest tier, they get to play Chapter 1 at the half way point (which sits around 82k words). Right now, my beta testers are busy finding any last minute bugs and typos which might take a few hours for it to be done thoroughly, since in that time I also want to finish the last quarter of the arranged marriage origin!!

So, hopefully, Monday or Tuesday, it will be up and ready to play! I'm very excited! Thank you for your patience!

Starling, You Problem Child.

Look, I NEED to show you all a prime example why FOR SOME REASON, Starling took me... Over a week. God. SO- V's section is only 6336 words. S' section shall be shorter, given that they cannot come out during the day so their actual set up is shorter while finding out more about them.

Starling?

Starling has just finished at 14,517 words.

Playing the WIP

Heyo! Just wanted to give a few options about getting to play so far! We're about halfway through chapter 1 now (more like a quarter kinda), Starling and V are done, and S will be done quicker than Starling's section, SO, if you guys want, you can play the WIP when chapter 1 reaches the halfway point, and that can be taken into the further chapters, always getting to play at the half way mark! But if not, that's A-Okay!

Art Update!

My good friend, Undead Merman, has finished the art I commissioned from him for the origins!

Weekly Update #2

On time this time around!

  • Starling has been such a problem child for me. Their section has become a very fun hub of powers, origins (two especially) getting to shine a nice amount while another origin means you're sitting in the Mortuary with absolutely mad levels of anxiety.

  • Also the player gets rewarded if they choose more than one way to get past Nurse Caroline! Some lore stuff, some fun interactions, including the reveal that Starling has an appalling bedsid...

Previews: Chapter 1 (Starling and V De Winters)

Some previews picked out by the beloved Beta Testers! So far what's been done of Chapter 1, which is reaching halfway point.

ID: You finally arrived on Harehill Mount, your feet aching a bit from the uneven cobblestones. All that work on St. De Lyones' building and no time spent on fixing the perpetrator of most of the broken soles in South Hollow. You made your way to the fron...

TA: Passed on Traits

letstalktea asks: If the RO had a kid with their beloved witch (assuming there is a child regardless of actual ability to procreate) what would be that one trait they see in their kid and go "they have your _____"

L Rawlins- I'd say their mouth. it has a natural downturn, on L it looks like they're constantly annoyed, but on your kid? A lil pout that is quite charming.

S Della Rovere- Their kid would inherit their their lustrous hair...

TA: Difference between Demons and Devils

anon asks: I've read the lore and the magic system but can I ask what's the difference between demons and devils ? Also, is the difference between witches and warlocks is that warlocks don't have magic but can make a deal with a devil to gain magic powers ? Or are witches and warlocks the same only that one has a demon familiar and the other makes a deal with a devil ?

Demons are like the unholy version of little siblings to Devils. Devils are demons that have reached a ce...

TA: In a PTA meeting

setgriefaside asks: Follow up to my last ask, how are the ROs in PTA meetings 🧸

L Rawlins- Completely silent, arms crossed, frowning. Will give you a look every 10 minutes, as if saying, "See? I told you we should home school". Will start fights with Moms who their kid doesn't like.

S Della Rovere- Bored. Picking at their nails, sighing loudly, tapping their feet, spending half their time flirting with you as if the two of you hav...

TA: Their Child's Education

setgriefaside asks: đź‘€ out of sheer curiosity. How would the ROs prefer for their child to receive education.

L Rawlins- Homeschooled with the rest of the pack pups. Werewolves believe that most human education is completely useless for them, so... L firmly won't allow anything else.

S Della Rovere- Private tutoring. Preferably back in Italy. Their child would already count as an abomination, so prefers to...

V De Winters- The Market

They couldn’t bear being in the house another moment. Their fingers dug into their palms, so hard that it left fingernail imprints, deep and dark, when they forced themselves to unfurl them. Their spouse was in their own room, angrily needling a doctor about… Their aggressively lowered libido. They hated it. Their spouse had few pleasures and being deprived of just one had lit a fire under them. 

But it wasn’t just them. The maids couldn’t stop staring at V, whispering. The...

Game Length #1

I'd usually post how many words the game is so far, but there is... SO much coding that it wouldn't be a good measure at this point. But, why not? We're currently at 62,219 words including code, and we have 244 passages and counting!

Anyway, shout out beloved Beta Tester, Contributor and Ducky, Lili from Tumblr and the Discord! She finally played all the way through from Prologue to the Current Starling Holding Point and timed how long it took, making sure to read everything!

V De Winters Alphabet

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

They love to quietly sit, cheek on your back and draw patterns into your skin, usually humming softly. Does have something to drink brought up, but mostly quiet, fully relaxed against you.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

They vaguely register that they are quite attractive. They rather like their beauty mark by their eye. But they do feel quite disconnected from their body at times, a...

Weekly Update

Hello! A tiny bit late, but was more busy on the weekend that I thought I'd be, but we're making really good progress!

  • V's introduction section is all done! With a little bow tied around it and everything. Featuring two potential cameos from Z whose keeping a firm eye on the situation, you're sure to feel like you're being watched. Good luck.

Patreon on iOS

So, I'm sure you all already know, but Apple rolled out a new 30% app store fee if you purchase a membership through the app specifically. No fees if you do it on desktop instead, so I do fully recommend any newcomers who want to join the tiers to do it through a browser.

So instead of ÂŁ6, you'd be paying ÂŁ7.80, or instead of ÂŁ10, it's ÂŁ13. Honestly, hate that.

I am thinking about letting that amount come out of my own payouts, but things are a bit tight right now, so will o...

What's Being Worked On!

Hello, hello! I just wanted to let everyone know that the next Rot of Witchwood Update is nearly among us!

Instead of just releasing the arranged marriage origin, it'll be released along with a general menu update and drumroll Chapter 1! Other things that have been finished:

  • A new menu opening for you guys to enjoy (as much as you could enjoy a menu)

Solid father for the first time in the backgrounds. Means a lot.

Z Chambers- Last Day

They were standing above their own body. 

Z sometimes had dreams like that, standing by their sleeping form and wandering around. Sometimes they actually went somewhere, like when they woke up ankle deep in the surf, seaweed tangled around their feet. It wasn’t anything demonic or witchy, like their grandmother on their father’s side thought and wailed about. Just lucid dreams and sleepwalking, which apparently everyone on their mother’s side had anyway. 

But this ...

Seir NSFW Alphabet

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

They seem lazy, but that’s a trick. They’re utterly energised, lying on their stomach and smirking at you, wanting to drink in your afterglow. They almost seem drunk off of it. Is going to sense if you’re tired, or uncomfortable, or thirsty, or hungry, and wander off to get a new blanket for you, to fill the ancient clawfoot tub, get a drink or make an easy meal on the chipped plate.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of the...

Sorry!

So sorry for the silence, was working overtime most of December and then my internet crapped out on the 25th so couldn't do any of what i had planned for patreon. Going to get right back on track!

Hopeful!

Some good news! Pretty soon I will be fully finished with all Uni stuff so I am super excited to get that out of the way since its the main reason I haven't been able to switch off and enjoy myself to write and code! Soon I can focus fully on my game again without hindrance!

Thank you for the continued support during this quiet time, I legitimately am so excited to continue to code and make extra content!
