Coding and Hoo Ha
Version 1.25 of WHI is out, featuring a bunch of bugfixes including some all-important crash fixes. There’s still a bunch of small things to go for the JP translation but we’re on it.
I’m also now working on the Chapter 1 Goodies Update! It will feature a new “bad end”, some new sprites and a new NPC, and some multi-colored slime costumes! I am essentially clearing up my backlog of stuff and will post that as an update. After that, it will be the Chapter 5 Goodies Update which is mostly Urimas’ idle animations.
Budget Report
I make these budget reports periodically so you know where the money is going. Nobody reads them but if you did, you’d know it goes mostly to the artists. To draw. Art.
WHI Future Reveal?
Yep. Don’t know if this will be out this year, but it’s on my to-do list. There are two more free updates planned for WHI, and this is one of them.
When they will happen depends on how my schedule looks. If the next chapter 2 update comes out in like November I might spend the remaining time on making a WHI update before I have to move over to working on Witches of Ravenbrook. If it comes out in like June then I’d prefer to try to get two updates out in 2025 for RoP.
