[PUBLIC RELEASE] 0.2.3.14 is Live!

TL;DR: New version public release! THIS BUILD HAS NEW VARIABLES, so until I figure out how to add previously undefined variables to the data of a save file after you load it, YOU WILL NEED TO START A NEW SEASON 2 PLAYTHROUGH OR YOU WILL GET AN ERROR ON THE MAP SCREEN!

Download 0.2.3.14 here: WCA Season 2 Homepage

Now, for those who wanna read what's up:

Thanks to more people signing up on the support sites, we're doing public release a day early! As Bruce Buffer would say... "IiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIT'S TIME!" This new build finishes Season 2 Episode 2 and introduces a batch of side story scenes each for a few of your favorite girls.

Excited to get this update out, and you may notice a fancy ".14" on the end instead of the 0.2.3.0 that the Supporters got. Well, thanks to their feedback, a couple of changes were made.

In 0.2.3.1

A couple of typos were corrected
Blossom's unlock tag was placed too late to be able to play her second scene, as that scene was only available during Lunchtime. Her unlock tag was moved to the beginning of S2E2 so that way both of her scenes can be played
Debug Menu was accidentally left on, and it's now turned off
New Season 1 Playthrough was accidentally left on, and it's now turned off

In 0.2.3.13

Bugfix to Blossom's B scene
Bugfix to the secret character still being selectable after her A scene

In 0.2.3.14

Bugfix to the nighttime map not showing up

A MASSIVE thank-you to everyone who has been signing up to the support sites, as well. Makes a huge difference. For those who want to support and help us get updates out even faster, the links are here:

If you know of any other support services you'd like to see us add to this list, let us know! Been considering Ko-fi and a couple of others. There's one with a Japanese name that's meant specifically for AVNs I think, but I can't find it again for the life of me. If anyone knows it, lemme know!

Also, feel free to hop into the Discord to chat with me and the community directly, as I have that on my phone and typically respond a lot more often than on here. Bug reports and requests get handled a LOT quicker on Discord. There are also lots of previews and animation tests I share here and there, and a nice and spicy art section!

Anyways, enjoy the new build! While you're on this, we're hard at work on S2E3!

[PROGRESS REPORT] A Blessing in Disguise

Hoo boy. This has been a BUSY month, y'all.

What I THOUGHT was going to be a crisis in the house we're renting pushed me out of my comfort zone and got me job hunting for a second job, and this crisis has turned into an opportunity. I ended up landing a job, a VERY good job, which I'll only have to work for 3 days a week if that's all the time I want. I can shift my security job to the other two days, which will leave a day for streaming and a day off from everything. And that's if I don't quit security altogether.

What was this crisis, you ask? Well, we've had a problem with a roommate over the past year that they've been here, and they are moving out. Great person, great friend, just didn't work out as a roommate. The problem is, we haven't quite gotten anyone to fill their spot, and the lease renews on May 1st. So rent goes up for the rest of us for May at the very least since we're splitting it between less people. Does that sound scary? Yeah it was scary. But then I landed this job.

I was dreading the way this might end up making me neglect the game, but it did the opposite. Though yes, I'm taking a break from WCA's actual coding development for just a few weeks while I train and get settled into this new job, Necro and I haven't stopped brainstorming and planning and creating new models for future episodes and writing side character scene plans, etc. And the icing on the cake? I've already confirmed that this new job would like me to bring something like my laptop to these overnight shifts, as in their minds, anything to keep me awake during shift is a good thing.

And that means at least 3 nights a week I can work on WCA in a comfy ass chair getting paid $5 an hour more than my security job working one 8 hour shift and two 12 hour shifts.

This is massive not only for my quality of life, but for WCA as well. Not only have we gotten WAY more done for the next build than is typical following a public release, if all goes well with this job, my money stresses will stop impacting my ability to write and we can settle into a nice, smooth update schedule. Up until now, I've been forced to rely on the income from WCA to pay things like rent and groceries, which as made writing stressful because of the perceived "need to get something good out." Y'all have been wonderfully patient with me and all the shit that's happened over the past few years and into the present.

THAT BEING SAID... Necro and I are currently the only remaining members of Team EmberWings at this point. Boogle's life, unfortunately, got a bit busy, and his priorities are elsewhere. We wish him luck in his future endeavors.

This means we are looking for a poser. Lemme pull up the job posting in the Discord:

If that sounds like you, do send me a message.
That's all for now! Fingers crossed the good luck continues and trickles down to WCA!

-Vic

[NIGHTBLIND] Toy On A Shelf

For those of you who enjoy the Nightblind music, a new song has just released. Absolutely floored because this song has had nearly 1.3k plays in a week. I have NEVER released a song that's gotten that much attention. Heck, I don't even think the chorus is that good; I was contemplating redoing it. So I'd like to share it with you, in case it's something you end up liking, or needing in your own life if you're going through something similar with the one you love.

I can't seem to embed the Soundcloud player here, so the song page is here:
https://soundcloud.com/nightblindband/toy-on-a-shelf

Lyrics in the description of the song page. Enjoy.

[PROGRESS REPORT] Not Me, Just Casually Writing Half an Episode in One Week

You know, typically I take a little bit of a breather because getting a build ready for the release pipeline is super stressful. But this time it wasn't. Might be because I'm doing a lot less by the seat of my pants these days, with a ton more planning. Not to mention brainstorming with Necromedes, which is making things a TON easier.

So I ended up writing over half of the next episode before this last build made it to Tier 4 supporters. And it's not stressful, more like I have momentum and I'm in the groove. We have the characters picked out for side story development (2 Core and 1 DLC), and we're currently in planning phase for each to have 3 scenes added.

Which means, if I have my way, I'll have finished writing and shooting the entire Season 2 Episode 3 before the public even has access to the end of Season 2 Episode 2. And if everything works out the way I want it to, that means when the newest build releases to the public, I'll already have ANOTHER one in the pipeline for Supporters.

Monthly updates. That means monthly updates. From 3 updates a year to 12.

It's been a long time since the game and its creation has been in this good of a state, and it feels GOOD. The one thing I COULD use is another poser, someone to pose models and shoot scenes here and there for me, who has knowledge of HS2/Ai Shoujo and StudioNEO. That's the only thing that could help speed things up even more.

Honestly, I'm super excited. If I can even get updates to every other month, for 6 updates a year, I'll be happy. But the fact that this is going so EASILY makes me hope for monthly updates. We've had quite a few people signing up to the SubscribeStar lately, and a couple hopping onto the Patreon, so I've been able to ease back my work schedule a little and work on the game more. Plus, I cleared it with my boss to take my laptop with me on my Sunday shift, which is where I got 75% of the aforementioned work done.

Things are looking up for WCA.

So here's the plan for the next few months. Yes, the Season 1 Rewrite is a big priority, but the story in Season 2 is reaching a point where I may have to let my foot off the gas on that rewrite just for a bit. 0.2.3.0 is currently in the release pipeline and is available for T4 Supporters. The next release should be 0.2.4.0, which will contain an ENTIRE episode of Main Story content, Episode 3. Because of where Episode 3 ends, the update after that should be 0.2.5.0, which will contain the full Episode 4 of Main Story content. That's right, 2 Main Story updates in a row. Typically I would do a Side Story update in between these two, but because of what's going on in the story, that may not be possible. But after we get through Episodes 3 and 4 and start getting into Episode 5 and have a big event there, we should get back to Side Stories.

Thank you all for your patience, feedback, and love. You make this game possible.

-Vic
