[PUBLIC RELEASE] 1.3.5.1 Free to the Public
🕑 Added 2024-12-20 22:36:42 +0000 UTCWe've gotten a handful of signups over the past few days, so as promised, here's 1.3.5.1 a couple of days early!
PUBLIC DOWNLOAD LINK: https://victorseven.itch.io/wca (or if you're reading this from Itch, the right version is attached to this post)
This is a Side Story patch that adds scenes for Wither, Galka, Ember, and Serafina. It brings them up to a total of 5 Side Story scenes in each respective story, and 3 of these girls gained an H-scene. I solved a physics issue with the tatas, and you're gonna see the results. Eventually I'll go back and fix Mouse's H-scene, 'cause she was supposed to have a LOT more bounce than she ended up having.
So what's different between the 1.3.5.0 that Supporters played and 1.3.5.1? Well, the last digit of my version numbers are bugfix patches. There were a couple of minor typos and one minor bug in Serafina's text scene where it didn't swap to her conversation history correctly, but was able to progress as normal. Only one bugfix is... well, that's new. There are typically 3 or 4 of em. Maybe I'm finally getting good at this. Watch me jinx myself. Watch.
Got some other news, too. Senia has 8/20 scenes finished, and she's ready for deployment for T4 and T5 Supporters. I figured how to get the package built by itself. Now I just gotta test it with an actual build and make sure it works when you drop the files in your "game" folder. Our new scene shooter, Ischwhit, shot the majority of these scenes, and I did a couple of them myself. Once everything is tested and good to go, you'll see a separate Itch project pop up for Senia's DLC, and another for each DLC character going forward.
Speaking of DLC, don't think I'm not paying attention to the popularity of these characters. Eyleth and my girl Saffryn are apparently in very high demand. Though I probably should have clarified that Ikani Medira, Felis, and Nekokin are all.. y'know... different kinds of catgirl... There IS one thing I worry about, though. Eyleth's story might not be what a lot of people are expecting, and I wonder if that might make them enjoy it less. In every side story thus far, and in probably every other side story in the game, you're playing as Aurum. But in Eyleth's, for the first 5 to 10 scenes, you're gonna be playing AS Eyleth. Then after that arc is finished, you'll swap back to Aurum and play as normal. Because of this, Eyleth's story is gonna be a little longer. All the girls are planned around a 20 scene model, give or take depending on what feels best for the character. The part of the arc where you play as Eyleth will not count towards that. She'll still get her 20 or so scenes where you interact with her as Aurum. So in total, her story may end up being 25 or 30 total scenes.
Lastly, organization has become a bit of an issue on the support sites, so rather than just pinning the most recent PUBLIC RELEASE post, I'm gonna make an informational post for SubscribeStar and Patreon, to be pinned at all times with links to the public build, supporter builds, and all of the Pinup Packs and Pandora's Box packs we put out, all conveniently in one place and pinned to the top.
Boosty, on the other hand, doesn't support pinned posts. We've had it for a few months and only have 1 paying subscriber at the lowest tier. Boosty has turned out to be a massive pain in the ass to mirror posts to, as it doesn't preserve images or even line breaks when copy/pasting from another site. The effort just isn't worth the $2 a month we're getting from it, so we're considering dropping Boosty. We're open to exploring other support sites for AVN creators or that allow AVNs, if anyone has any ideas.
That's it for now. I'mma get to work on those info posts for SubscribeStar and Patreon. Hope y'all enjoy the new content. We're busting our asses on 1.4.0.0 and didn't take our customary month off after releasing 1.3.5.0 to supporters, so there's been progress being made through this entire release cycle as opposed to what usually happens. We're gonna see how it works out. Hopefully, we'll have another build in the Supporter Pipeline soon. Doing my damnedest to see what it takes to get us up to monthly updates.
Until then!
