Chapter Six (Sneak Peeks)

Chapter Six is coming along. And it's time for a few sneak peeks. I'm done with sprite expressions but have to go back through the route to check placement and zoom levels as there are a few places where sprites aren't quite positioned the way I want.

This will also be my test run to make sure no missing attributes are causing issues. But the expressions themselves are coded in.

Here are just a few sneak peeks. I've said that this is a fairly chill chapter but it is laying some pl...

Kav Wallpaper (City Lights)

Just another character wallpaper - this time of Kav. I'll eventually get around to doing everyone in this series but it's just taking a while since I'm super busy with working on the game.

Got to finish this one since there're no CGs in Chapter 6. So that's helpful.

Thank you to everyone who supports this game here on Patreon. Without you I really wouldn't be able to keep making games.

I've had to push three small bug fixes sinc...

Game Guide (structure)

Okay everyone. So.

Here is the deal.

The Patreon guide for WSC is huge already at 78 pages and counting. It is only going to get longer. I've been wondering if it would be less unwieldy to break the guide up by route.

It's easily going to cross 100 pages by the end.

So my question is - would you prefer if I broke the PDF up into 7 individual PDFs (the 7th is for the no LI mini-path, which ends in Chapter 10) or would you prefer to keep the guide as a single behemoth?<...

April Q&A (Answers)

Hallo! Here are the questions from April and one from a while ago that I never got around to answering because my answers were eaten at some point (sorry Milo!)

1. What type(s) of music does each LI like to listen to (if they like to listen to music)? I know we chat with Asher about this a bit, but I'm curious about the others' interests, too.

Asher - Everything. Literally everything. There is no particular music he dislikes an...

Mini Check-in (WSC)

Hi everyone! Sorry for the missing devlog. Just had a busy weekend.

WSC Chapter 5 (Episode 3) is still in Early Access at the moment. I just finished up Yren's CG and will probably be pushing out that update in the next couple of days after I test it thoroughly.

I've already started doing some of the foundational work for Chapter 6 as well but I actually have a couple of small cut ins I'd like to do for Chapter 5 too. So now that I have time I'll be working on those too.
