Well, I discovered a plugin that allows me to use MMD motion data and just... PLAY it in the scene, so making these may end up being FAR simpler than I thought it might be. I just have to find motion data that matches what I'm looking to shoot.

That's pretty damn creative. Kageshini isn't bound to a single mirror, though; she just uses reflective surfaces to interact with our world. That was showcased when she appeared in a window at the school.

Still, love the idea! 

That's really interesting. I had a similar issue when I was building a demo in TyranoBuilder, before I picked up Ren'py. When fullscreened and while video was playing, the text would not appear on the screen. 

I'll do my next bugtests in fullscreen to see what happens. Some applications behave really weird when fullscreened and when you alt tab out and back in. Lot of my Steam games do weird things so I usually use Borderless Windowed mode. 

That's a new one. Do you have it fullscreened? Maybe try windowed mode with it maximized? Also are your graphics drivers updated? This game has been available for 4 and a half years and this is the first time I've heard of this kind of issue, so my best guess is it's something in your system that might be causing it. Feel free to get at me in Discord; I respond much faster there.

Something in your antivirus might be removing critical files. See if you can whitelist whatever directory you're saving WCA to in your antivirus. Or check the antivirus first and see which files it's quarantining. 

It's because the guy who ports it for me can't work with Ren'py 8.4.0. Something about what they did messes with the way Ren'py detects archives, so his external save location and the method for using DLC on Android is completely ruined. We had to do it in Ren'py 8.3.7, and we'll have to stick to that until Estrada can figure out what's going on, or until the creator of Ren'py fixes it.

We previously used Ren'py 7. Unfortunately, 7.8.7 had a massive memory leak issue with video files, leaving the entire dev team unable to playtest any scene with video in it without filling up memory and eventually crashing the computer. We were forced to update to 8.4.0, and only then did we learn that Estrada's porting utility didn't jive with this new version. We can't roll back to Ren'py 7 because Tom says there will never be another update, and 7 uses Python 2 where 8 uses Python 3. 

So unfortunately... it's either this or no Android version. It needs access to your media because Estrada's external save location will be in your phone's Documents folder in Renpy_Saves. That's how it manages the files, and that's where you put DLC if you get it.

Hi! None of us are fluent in anything but English (and barely at that), but I've heard there might be fan translations out there. I wouldn't know where to find them, though. I only know of one person in my Discord server who is doing a Chinese translation, and another who messaged me wanting to do an Italian translation

Glad you like them! Currently there's not a way to replay them within the game, but each girl will have a Chapter Select once their side story is finished that allows you to replay any scene, including the voicemails.

I do have them posted in the Discord, though, so you can always play them or even download the audio if you want through there.

Awesome! If you have any more questions, I'm much easier to reach on Discord, so feel free to pop in. There are some goodies posted in there as well. 

Is your game up to date? All builds after 1.4.0.1 I think should have that in the Options menu if you scroll down. Newest version is 1.4.8.2, just released a few days ago, so if you don't have that, be sure to update.

Be sure you're playing an official version as well, from Itch, F95, Patreon, or SubscribeStar. If you got the game anywhere else, it's not an official version and they may have messed with my code.

Yup. Just update the game and it should work. The reason that happens is because the new version of the game and the DLCs are all built with Ren'py 8, which uses Python 3. The old version of the game was built with Ren'py 7, which uses Python 2, an older version of the coding language. We were forced to update to Ren'py 8 because Ren'py 7 had a horrid memory leak issue that stopped letting the dev team playtest any scene that had videos in them. An unfortunate, but necessary move. Ren'py 7 support has completely ended, so this is an issue that will never be fixed.

Lemme know if you have any more issues. I'm far more responsive on Discord, so don't be afraid to get at me there!

Hey! In the Options menu, there's a Walkthrough option you can tick on that will show you all the right answers. Tick that on and it'll highlight the correct answers in green.

For a detailed explanation:

Each answer involves either protecting Ashley or telling the truth about how horrible she was to Cecilia. The lesson in this trial is to stop protecting people who are actively harming you, because if you keep doing that, you're only going to waste your second chance. You'll keep protecting people who are hurting you, and that'll get you killed again. Kageshini doesn't want that. 

You can tell if the answer you selected is in Ashley's favor or against Ashley by your body language in the answer. 

If you're leaning forward, you said something in Ashley's favor.

If you have your arms crossed, you said something that doesn't make Ashley look good.

You just need enough of the ones that don't make Ashley look good, rather than the ones that protect her, and you'll get through it. You don't have to have every answer perfect. 

Drop the RPA files into the "game" folder. You can revisit the download pages for detailed instructions.

The bottom left is River, and the second to left is the Harpy girl. That indicates that you've chosen to opt into their content, but they don't have any additional content at the moment. You didn't miss anything :)

Hi! The only one you're "missing" is Petra. You unlock her by repeatedly pestering Yuka when you first meet her, when you have the option to keep going back into the book or to text Gillie. Keep going back in until the special scene plays. 

The other two are in 1.4.8.2, albeit briefly in the case of Shoo :)

Read my Discord messages again. I told you I'd give you the DLC in Discord DMs if you signed up on T2 once, since that's the same price as Senia. Meaning I would send you the direct download link directly in Discord DMs, not that you would follow the Download links on SubscribeStar. 

I also told you that T3 gets all DLCs for free. Senia ($5), the Fantasies Collection ($10), both Pandora's Box packs ($5 each), and all of the pinup packs, all for $10. You can sign up for it once, download all of it, and then cancel so you don't get billed a second time, if you want.

You will be very happy with the next update, then :)

The fixes should mostly be related to compatibility with the Fantasies Collection and how it detects the DLC. If there's something going wrong, get at me in Discord again and we'll troubleshoot it.

Sure! Get at me on Discord! Send me a message, and I'll help ya out.

Yup got your message. Just woke up lol

Of course. Itch, Steam, and several other storefronts are suffering because some prudes started raging at payment processors, and none of that is your fault or any other consumer's fault. It's only fair you get something if you spend money, right?

Sorry, that's the only way I can think of to get you the goodies via DM. I don't think it's fair that you paid and you're getting cucked by this whole Collective Shout thing, so I aim to fix that. 

The alternative is, you can sign up on Patreon or SubscribeStar on the Free tier, and those sites have messaging systems. Could send me a message there, and I can do the same thing I'd do on Discord. 

What you get depends on where you paid. Supporters on SubscribeStar and Patreon get early access and a bunch of other stuff. I used to be able to do that on Itch, but due to Collective Shout and the payment processors being bullied, I had to remove the "0 or Donate" option just to get reindexed on Itch. So I can't do early access on Itch anymore. If you paid here, I'm sorry, but there's no way I could have foreseen a bunch of uppity prudes ruining everything for us. 

However, if you can get at me on Discord, I can help ya out. Send me a friend request or a message request, and let me know the email you use on Itch, and once I've verified your purchase, I'll send you some stuff :)

Oh shit, did I forget to remove that? lmao I may have to look back. I may have just forgotten to remove it.
Glad you're enjoying it!

If you play Druthari's side story (Season 2, after you unlock the Free Time menu), there is an explanation of what the ogres were doing in her village, and who came to help.

Unfortunately, that's not possible due to Steam's Terms of Service. They don't allow games that are made using intellectual property that belongs to someone else. We use Ai Shoujo for our visuals which, like Honey Select 2 and Koikatsu, is owned by IllusionSoft. So sadly, we'd never be able to get WCA onto Steam.

We're still keeping our eyes out for platforms other than Itch, F95, SubscribeStar, and Patreon, but for now, these are the only official places to get it. If you're unable to purchase DLC, we do giveaways in our Discord fairly often. That might be the best way to go until we can figure out a good non-credit card platform.

Thank you!

I see you signed up on the Patreon! I'll respond there :)

Yup. You get your Critical Decision with Cecilia in this build.

Eyyyy thanks for listing us! One of our Patreon supporters is collecting AVNs in this collection so people will have something to browse:
https://itch.io/c/6089350/find-all-the-avns-i-could-save-links-to 

Yup! This post has been duplicated across F95, Patreon, and SubscribeStar

We have lots of goodies in there, and we like to do giveaways of our paid content there as well :)

I think it's about to backfire spectacularly. Several countries are levying some aggressive sanctions against the payment processors that are being influenced by Collective Shout. Enough that this may see-saw the other way. Here's hoping.

And glad to have ya! 

Yup! We've posted that in the Discord and I'll be including it in the next Progress Report. Thank you!

Brother this was free for the last 2 weeks. I even announced it in a post. And you already asked that. 6 months ago. Scroll down.

Backend systems, yes, but the main story isn't fully complete yet. Neither are the Core and Secret side stories. One sec, lemme pull up my roadmap and character select screens...

Here's our roadmap. The game is currently at 1.4.5.0, which means the side story patch after Season 2 Episode 4. Next patch will be 1.5.0.0, or Main Story Season 2 Episode 5. We alternate Main Story episodes and Side Story patches. In Main Story patches, we drop an entire episode of the main story. The Side Stories are where you actually hang out with the girls and advance their romance stories. That's where all the H-content is. We intend for each girl to have at least 20 scenes in her Side Story. For a Side Story patch, we choose 4 girls and try to add 5 scenes to each of them.

Once we hit 1.8.0.0 (which we will probably call 2.0), the Main Story will be complete. From there on out, we'll be working to complete all the Core and Secret girls' side stories, while working in a few of the DLC ones we'll offer for purchase and do giveaways for here and there. 

We have something we call the Free Time screen where, at certain points in the story, you get to choose either to go straight back to the main story or to take a break and hang out with some of the girls. 

Hope that helps clarify things. I started working on WCA over 4 years ago, and recently put together a team to help me. We're nearing the completion of the Main Story but we're not quite there yet, so I'd definitely still consider WCA "in development."

Lemme know if I can answer anymore questions. I'm a lot more active in Discord, so feel free to pop in there and ask stuff if you like!

Yes, the 21 extra stories are paid DLC. 

Unlike a lot of AVN devs, We decided not to go the typical route and lock the main game behind a paywall once the main story is finished. The base game has 21 Core characters and 7 Secret characters. We decided to keep the base game free forever, and the supporters kept asking for more characters (mainly goblins), so we decided to offer those as paid extra romance routes to add to your playthrough. 

That being said, we're pretty fond of giveaways, 'cause we don't wanna just lock out people who can't or won't support an AVN financially. We've done quite a few giveaways. In fact, there's one active right now. The Fantasies Collection Add-on, which is the H-gallery addition to the game, is normally $10. But if you go to the link below, you'll see we're giving it away for free until the 24th:

https://itch.io/s/153331/wca-4th-anniversary-giveaway

So yeah. DLC means paid extra romance routes, typically not very closely tied to the main game's story like the Core characters and some of the Secret characters are. But that doesn't automatically mean nobody can ever get them for free, 'cause we like our giveaways.

Hope that helped clarify things :)

Hi! We're still working on them. Senia is close to finished, and we'll have her out hopefully within the next month or two. Each character has at least 20 scenes, and they take a long time, sadly. But if you're following me here on Itch, you'll get notified when I post a new project, which is what I intend to do with all the bonus characters' romance routes.

No, sadly I have to update it manually.

Oh the harpy has had a name this whole time. It's just been secret :)
