Ahoy again!

Alright, so between planning for funerals and having someone walk out on our jobsite, forcing the rest of us to work overtime, there has been less time to work on WCA than I'm used to. That being said, I've made significant progress on our last little hangup.

All of my relevant files are now on a brand new external SSD. And I discovered I had made another dumbshit mistake. Regardless of the hardware failure, I would have had to reshoot Saturday's scenes anyways. Why? You ask?

I had Aurum in his fucking work uniform instead of his weekend/casual outfit, despite the morning scene clearly showing him changing into his casual outfit. Sure, I probably could have just written another shift into the story now that I think about it. But the reshooting has already started, and I intend to finish it. I like to stay true to my story rather than cover up errors. So, 118 frames and... what, 20 video clips or so? I'm working on reshooting all of that. And by that I mean posing the models all over again and taking screenshots. So unfortunately, it looks like I'll miss the October goal I had set for myself. But to compensate, I've been working on some extras for you all.

Not too long ago, I introduced the first Patreon Pinup Pack. This ended up being Nook, Tilai, Aoibheann, River, and Jade in sexy Halloween costumes. Normally available only on Patreon, one of you had the brilliant idea of making them available here for a small fee. 

These are VERY high quality images which are run through the DHH lighting engine rather than the GraphicsMod engine I use for normal screenshots. That, coupled with a lot of lighting work, really emphasizes the shadows and the texture of the skin of each model. In short, they're HD images with a hefty file size. 

The only PROBLEM is... Itch doesn't allow sale of individual DLCs. When someone pays for something, they're paying for the whole game project. If, say, I made each Pinup Pack $5 for the non-nude stuff and had 4 or 5 Pinup Packs available, all you'd have to do is spend $5 on the project and you'd get ALL of the $5 tier pinup packs. Since each pack is gonna have different girls and different themes as designated by either a Patron vote or a request from one of our T5 Creator Patrons, I wanted every fan to be able to pick and choose which Pinup Packs they wanted to purchase. 

The good news is, for you fellow Goblin lovers out there, Pinup Pack 2 will be a Duos pack with Nook and Princess Tilai, and the theme is Lingerie. The bad news is I'm still racking my brains on how to offer these to the public, since some of you are unable to use Patreon to support due to your country of residence. My current ideas include looking into Subscribestar and other alternate platforms, as well as perhaps making an Etsy shop and just selling the Pinup Packs there. Kind of counterintuitive since I'd much rather just keep everything on Itch. But currently, the only way to sell the Pinup Packs individually is to create an entirely new game for each pack, which... I dunno if that's a good idea. Let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas as to how I could offer these packs to those of you who can't or prefer not to interact with Patreon!

Anyways, there's a lot to come in the near future. And I'll be honest, I'm worried this next update may be a bit short compared to how long y'all have waited for it. I'm considering releasing Wed/Thu/Fri as an update of its own like... now while I keep working on Saturday and Sunday. I worry that might cheapen the experience, since you'd have less to play all at once, but at this point, you've been waiting so long, and I have at least those 3 days playable and ready to go. 

Again, lemme know what you think. I'll likely do a Patreon vote to see how they want the release handled. Thank you all for reading this fuggin novel of an update, and thank you all for your patience. You shall be duly rewarded. I plan to upload Pinup Pack 1 for absolutely free once the next update is live, so all of you can enjoy some HD images of the girls!

See you soon!
