Hey! Was it her last scene? I've heard this comment a couple of times and I'm having trouble finding where that might be.

We're aiming to resolve Ms. Clements' story in S2E7!

The DLC girls are all going to eventually be made available for purchase. Different Supporter tiers get different benefits regarding these DLCs.

T4 and up get Early Access and get to play them as they're being developed
T3 gets free DLCs when they're finished
T2 gets 50% off DLCs when they're finished

We WILL be doing DLC giveaways in the Discord here and there as well, and we may do community freebies as well, so people who are unable to support financially can have chances to enjoy them too. 

Where are you seeing a rabbit?

That shouldn't be happening... contact me on Discord and we'll figure out what's going on.

Thank you so much! There's a lot of discussion in the Discord and we're very responsive there, if you feel like joining. Also do DLC giveaways here and there :

Thank you! I was really worried with how heavy and different this episode was but I'm getting some surprisingly positive sentiment about it. Please be sure to fill out that survey!

That shouldn't be happening. Can you pop into the Discord and let me know where that's happening in the #wca-bugs-typos channel? I'd like to know whose story that's happening in so I can check the code. 

Looking forward to your thoughts and survey response if you have the time :)

Then there would be no reason to sign up. Most of the people who sign up do so for exclusive content,  and that includes the pinups and HMVs we put out.  If I was giving all of that away for free, there'd be no reason to sign up.

People canceling support would mean I'd have to work more.

Working more would mean I have less time to work on WCA.

Less time to work on WCA means content drops would slow to a crawl. And I don't think you want that.

The income is necessary for the game to stay alive. I have to keep some things for the paying supporters, bud, or this whole thing falls apart. Sorry.

Well I don't write the code for itch.io so I can't make the website behave like that. Sorry.

If you want any of the screenshots in any of my posts, you can always right click and hit Save Image As in your web browser :)

We have to make some progress in the main story before we can get to Ms. Clements' story. We'll get there.

Ahh that must be before I did the fix, then. Should be fine in 1.4.0.1. Look in the Game folder for a file called FantasiesCollection.rpa. Should be 0KB. Delete it if you have it and that button shouldn't show up anymore.

Alright, I'm now confused lol. I just unpacked the 1.4.0.1 version of the game, and I'm not seeing a "Replay Gallery" button anywhere. The only button should be "Fantasies Collection," and that should be in the main menu without the game running, and only if the DLC was purchased and added to the game. Where are you seeing a "Replay Gallery" button? Are you on version 1.4.0.1? Or do you have the current free version?

Hmm that means a blank FantasiesCollection.rpa may have still made it into the files. The replay gallery is a paid DLC feature so the standard version shouldn't have it. I'll have to check the files and see where the issue is.

You will, however, be able to see which girls you're unlocking once you get partway into Season 2 and gain access to the Free Time system :)

Glad you like it! Sound and music design is super important to me. You'll hear the music evolve over the course of the story as I come into possession of more and more music packs, and include some sneaky references and easter eggs here and there as well :P

I dedicate an entire development step to scoring a scene, so the fact that it's noticed is appreciated!

Yeah that version shipped with an empty FantasiesCollection.rpa file in the Game folder. That's a paid feature and the presence of the RPA unlocks it, but without any data in the RPA it doesn't work. That's fixed in 1.4.0.0, which also includes a whole new Main Story episode. 

Hey I appreciate it but what I tend to need the most help with is the posing and shooting stage. I have a pretty distinct render style I have to teach people that differentiates us from most other AVNs that either use sprites or reuse the same angles over and over again. 

I'd be open to chatting over Discord about it, but I keep bringing on new people and they keep either not being able to emulate my style or not being able to do scenes I need within the time period I need them, and I keep ending up doing them myself. If you feel like you can pose and capture 27 screenshots in an hour like I can, feel free to hit me up. @victorseven on Discord.

So Oid is the brainchild of my buddy DioGinrochi (Oid is just Dio backwards) and was inspired by the T-Dot Goon Scrap DVD videos on YouTube. Dio suggested making an opposite version of himself that spoke only in Toronto slang and I was all for it lol

He's also a streamer, and the artist behind Goat Meat Mafia (the song that plays during the Eshtel video call)

I'm sending this to Oid's creator, the guy who helps me write him lmao
And thanks for the input!

Yeah, after this release, I'm thinking once every 2 months might be the sweet spot, but I wanna see the data first. I appreciate the concern :)

I'm already exponentially better so far. Just kicking the last of it as we knock out the rest of these remaining scenes.

Here's Rukah and Wither, one of our Dryad characters.

Is it Orcs specifically that you're looking for, or do you like muscular girls in general? 'cause we have more of those that aren't Orcs. For instance, here's Galka, our goliath character:

There is. Her name is Rukah. Though she's very different from what you'd expect from your typical Orc.

Hey, the 2 leftmost Secret characters don't have any content yet. They're waiting on some main story stuff but I had to make sure to put the unlock flags in when you made the choices that included them in your game.

The ones on the left or right of Galka are also waiting on Main Story stuff, so I think you got everything! I may have thrown unlock flags in to prepare them for future patches. Sorry for the confusion :

Yes, it's just a gallery for H-scenes. But it doesn't require you to have played the H-scenes, so people who are looking for that kind of content can enjoy that if they're not interested in the story. It will also feature H-scenes that we dream up and make that are NOT in the main game. 

And I understand your concern... for someone whose brain functions normally. I unfortunately have severe unmedicated ADHD. My version demands that I cycle my interests. So before all this, when I got stuck on WCA, I had to cycle to something else for a while, like music, or my book series, or writing for my tabletop campaign. But recently, with the Senia DLC and the Fantasies Collection, I've been able to cycle WITHIN WCA projects, which has just about tripled my productivity. We're not even a week out from having released this last Side Story patch to the public, and we're already close to halfway done with the next Main Story episode patch. That has NEVER happened before. 

So while I understand your concern if you were dealing with someone who was neurotypical, it's had sort of the opposite effect. I've gotten more done in the past couple of weeks during this cycle than I have in the past in a 3 month period. I burn out when I lose my momentum. Being able to cycle through WCA tasks and get that dopamine rush of making progress and finishing things has helped me conserve that momentum, which I have channeled into S2E4's progress. If this keeps up, you might see a new Main Story drop within a month.

Hey I'm always open to suggestions! And as far as voice acting goes... be sure you get through every Side Story. You'll find a surprise in someone's 5th scene :)

I dunno how I'd do that. Any changes to a character, and I'd have to shoot a whole new version of the same scene with that customization on. So 1 customization would double the workload, as I'd have to shoot each scene twice. 2 customizations would force us to shoot 3 versions of each scene, etc. So unfortunately that's not realistic unless we dial back to like 2 updates per year, and I'm trying to get us down to monthly updates.

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I'll be pushing an update soon that smooths out some of the admittedly rough first few episodes of the game and also adds DLC and Fantasies Collection functionality, as well as QoL updates like the ability to turn off the jumpscares. 

The T1 limit thing is an old holdover that I completely forgot about. Lemme revisit that lol

We are HAMMERING away on this, trust me! Trying to get S2E4 out as fast as possible!

Hey! Thank you for the kind words, and the helpful feedback.

I've just gone through and fixed all the issues you listed. Appreciate you taking the time to list them. And super glad you like Galka; she's one of my favorite characters to write, as she flips the script on you. She's the only one who you're not trying to solve a problem for. She's solving YOURS. And I don't see that a lot in this genre.

No virus, bud. Make sure your 7Zip is updated if you're using that; there's a vulnerability in older versions.

Hey! Appreciate the feedback!

Yeah, the double-explains were pointed out and need to be shored up. Even though Season 1 got a rework, it's still in need of some heavy polishing. The early renders are garbage and as the story progresses, I become less and less happy with the writing.

As far as the girls go... Are you still playing the build, or have you finished it? I don't wanna say too much because of spoilers, but I went with a very Something For Everyone approach. I don't cover quite everything, but there are a couple of thicker girls like Kanako and Saffryn in there.

And as far as Kageshini goes, the next patch is a Main Story patch that features her VERY heavily. I'd love to have all the girls get some spotlight on a rotation, but I also have to consider what makes sense in the story, and given her limitations, I felt it was better to leave her more of a mystery for now until you actually get to meet her face-to-face.

Again thanks for the feedback! Making notes on the double-explains so I can go back and shore those up.

Pinup Packs are just special folders full of HD images of the girls, since people want to see more of them and ask for more constantly. You can use them as wallpapers or banners or whatever you like. They don't affect the game or get installed into the game at all.

We're alternating Main Story and Side Story updates. Next one will be the full Season 2 Episode 4. Glad you enjoyed it!

Appreciate the kind words. I hope my logic sort of makes sense. 

I feel you on the scheduling thing. Dunno if you watch TTRPG content, but I do have an ongoing game that's preserved in my Twitch Collections if ever ya want something extra to watch. https://www.twitch.tv/collections/V__T1BiR9hfcow

Mystery is a very tough subgenre to write. You have to balance the intrigue of what's going on but also leave room for the reader to come to the conclusions, because the draw of mystery is figuring things out before they're directly stated in the work. I should probably mention I don't specialize in mystery, so the gaps I left in characters mentioning things so that the reader could put the pieces together without being outright TOLD what the answer is may not have presented as well as I'd hoped. Most of my experience is in the Fantasy genre for my 24 years of writing experience, and though I've been a professional Dungeon Master before and have run plenty of tabletop games over the past 6 years, writing a mystery for tabletop players and for an AVN like this are two very different things. 

What I was HOPING to do was set up all the details and let YOU, the player, connect the dots before they came together in the story. If that made Aurum seem a little dumb or oblivious, I suppose that's a side effect of leaving that sort of room for the player. In having had many, many different TRPG players, readers of my series, and players of WCA, I've learned that everyone figures things out at a different pace, if at all in some cases. Someone like you, cursed with a fast pace, is going to figure things out much quicker than someone who takes a while to connect the dots. And I can't write for only one type of reader, so I did what I felt would make sense to the majority of readers.

That being said, hope you enjoy the rest of the game :) I do appreciate the feedback, as it will help inform how I do things in the future.

The plan is to alternate builds. Main Story patch, Side Story patch, rinse and repeat.

我正在使用谷歌翻译来回复此内容，所以我希望一切都表达正确。

非常感谢您的好意！我真的希望在这个类型中做些不同的事情。我从小就玩这些精彩的 SquareEnix RPG，这些角色写得很漂亮，很仔细，但他们从来没有给你机会去探索你与这些角色的联系意味着什么。同样，在成人游戏类型中，“故事”总是这些可笑的借口，让你转向下一个顽皮的场景。我想弥合这两种类型的故事之间的差距，并包括两个世界中最好的部分，同时丢弃两者中最糟糕的部分，如果这有意义的话。

我很高兴你喜欢这个故事，因为这是我做这个项目的首要任务。我是一位出版过两本书的奇幻作家，有近 25 年的写作经验，我的专长是角色。我觉得我可以利用这项技能，真正提高成人游戏中情感联系和故事深度的标准。我很高兴看到它产生了预期的效果。

我试图让一些内容尽可能真实。我当了 12 年的保安，还教过跆拳道，所以写出我所知道的内容意味着每个场景的细节都是可信的。尤其是那场打斗场景。我真的想奖励那些恰好拥有这种打斗知识的人，我很高兴它能跨风格翻译。我很好奇你练习的是什么武术。我祖父年轻时是洪拳的学生，这也是我最初接触武术的原因。

我没有任何语言的官方翻译计划，但如果中国市场对这样的项目有很高的需求，我肯定会考虑。我很高兴你玩得很开心，谢谢你提出在中国互联网上推广它。我以前在 italki.com 教英语的时候有很多中国学生，我对这个地区及其各种文化情有独钟。

再次感谢您的赞美！
