[PROGRESS REPORT] The Developer's New Groove
Lemme just say it. I have 5 more scenes to shoot before Season 2 Episode 1 is done, content-wise.
"Whoa, where the hell did that come from? I thought this series was dead! There hasn't been an update since November! I want Nook back!"
Relax, relax. I admit, I got stuck. And I didn't realize what was happening. SEVERE burnout from piling way too many projects on myself. I ended up taking 2 weeks off of one of my work sites, which meant I only had to work my job on Fridays and Saturdays. And it was WONDERFUL. I realized that I was just going and going and going and... I dunno how many of you engage in self-pleasure, but you know how you gotta let yourself recharge in between sessions? Yeah, I wasn't letting my brain do that. I was not resting. So my creativity balls were just completely drained. And I was just a-beatin' and a-beatin' hoping something more would come out.
That's a really fucked up analogy and I hope you're laughing as hard as I am that I actually typed that shit.
But anyways, I had to teach myself how to rest. And it made a huge difference. Another big thing was dealing with my cousin's suicide over this past year, the one who I was spending all that time with and trying to help get back on his feet. My idol. My role model. Shook me to the core to find out how much he had been hiding, how this man I wanted to be like all my life had been deceiving me. He was there when my mom died, when I was 6, choosing to help my dad care for my sister and me instead of going to school. So him going out the same way as his dad did, my uncle, rocked me, and it rocked me HARD. It's taken this long just to come to terms with it. But I'm definitely on the upswing. Seeing a therapist, learning self care, etc. And with all of that, I find my passion for WCA coming back. I appreciate everyone's patience. I must seem like the world's unluckiest dev by now, huh? lol. But I'm not here for the sympathy or the pity. I want to make a game, dammit.
One of the biggest hurdles I had to face as far as the game itself was how to ORGANIZE everything for this new format. And I finally decided each girl would get her own separate folder. In the release notes, I'll detail which girls get new scenes every time I update the game like this:
Season 2 Episode 1
- New Main Story Episode PLUS
- New Galka scene
- New Wither scene
- New Harpy scene
- New Rukah scene
- New Mouse scene
- 5 New Characters introduced
- 1 Unlockable Secret Character
- New text conversations
THE PLAN is to have Season 2 Episodes 1 and 2 done by June, and WCA Season 2's Demo to be released on or before WCA's second birthday. That's right, this series is almost 2 years old! And it seems I now have a little bit of help with the brainstorming and writing, so I'm hoping burnout and writer's block don't hit me so hard this time around. I may have to take some rest breaks for a couple of weeks here and there, but I'm thinking that's gonna make for more consistent content over all. I think pushing myself too hard was actually LESS productive, so I'mma try this new, more relaxed approach to the game.
Oh, right. Previews. You probably want those.
Oh, and of course, what you've all been asking for...
Okay, alright, that's it. That's all you get for now. See you in the next update post!

I'm really happy to hear about all of this, especially you focusing on healing and getting into therapy. Watching you run yourself ragged in 60 million different places and freaking out over self-imposed content deadlines was hard to watch. I'm really proud of you.
Here's to your continued health and mental stability. Hope the upswing continues and you refind your groove.
I also really like that new chick with the fedora.
Glad you like her! She's a redesign of one of the characters on the banner. You can probably tell which one lol.
hee vic when is season 2 chapter 1 comming out do you have a rough estemate when it comes out
Am I missing something? Does the first season of this game really end with MC waiting for Serafina to turn up? It's a very bizarre and abrupt way to finish things.
It wasn't meant to end that way, but I was unaware I had a 2GB limit for games, or else they won't install on Android devices, which are 40% of my playerbase. I quite literally ran out of room lol
Any plans to restructure the story in order to have more satisyfing endings? Or possibly reduce the quality of the android version to save space?
I've had a lot of thoughts as to how to do that, but it would end up with me spending more time not putting out new content, and people don't really like paying for nothing. As it is, Season 1 will kind of act as the prologue to the "real" game, in which file sizes are lower and the game is structured in a way to where PC and MAC users should be able to add extra packages to the game nonstop. Still haven't figured out how Android users are gonna get DLC characters, though.
Fair enough - thanks for the reply
No worries. I absolutely hate that it went that way lol. I published that build and I started getting lit up with "THIS WON'T INSTALL ON MY PHONE!" Spent an entire night researching to find out Android has a 2GB limit on APK files. Anything bigger and it'll refuse to install.
whell the screenshot whit all the goblins lady's whas beautifull i whant them all in this novel its a shame that every time i whant to post a picture in here the site goes haywire saying there is a error
but atleast 3 off those goblin lady's are alrdy joining i see nice its the 3 on the right side off that screenshot he posted a while ago
nice going and victor take it easy you still have to take care off the problems around yourself and your family wise and whel its funny the birthday of this VN is falling in the same month as my birthday
which is June
HOLD UP A SECRET CHARACTER?! First nook is coming back, more gobbos, 5 new characters, and a secret one! Also its glad to see youre doing alright Vic
Glad your back and well
I want Nook back!
I gotchu fam
Were you surprised when Nook ended up with such a loyal following???
I dunno what I was expecting, but it wasn't THIS MUCH lol
Life's what happens when you make plans is something I like to say. Shit happens is another. I'm glad to hear you are doing better, never be afraid to admit when you need to take care of yourself! There is already to big of a stigma around men in general admitting when we have issues, and the impact is insane. It's why I have a zero-fucks attitude on people feeling the need to apologize for explaining what they are going through: Just let people know, and if they get butthurt, that's not your issue to apologize for!
That rant is done. Thanks for the update! This is the only place I can get the info due to finance stuff, and recently my discord getting shut due to inactivity... Looking forward to more news, and Second season starting when it does!
thank you for giving us an update and I'm just going to say this, thanks for making WCA cuz without this, I didn't know that I have a hidden fetish and I'm sure you can get through the problems you have right now.
A wise man once said, "you need to experience hardships to reach paradise"
So thanks.
P.S- I always say this the game devs when they post progress report,
always Health comes first, doesn't matter when your going to continue the game cause it's always going to be there, WE are going to be there and wait bated breath and besides it is never a bad thing to take a break once in a while.
also who are those three? New chara coming on S2?
Is it weird that I'm so happy I could legit cry right now!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
