About Chapter 23

Going well, I should be able to release it within this month, not much to say yet though other than I'm in the scripting process but have dropped at least the first tease for Gold+ Tier. Working on miscellaneous stuff at the moment and will work on the wallpapers while I'm doing research for the 23rd Chapter.

Silver+ and above that have read the preceding post, skip to the download links if you want to play the polished version.

Technical Updates

-Added a rename feature on the settings menu, this is mostly added for users whose in-game name in MTWY gets turned into none.

-Removed the Franklin Gothic Font from the fonts used in MTWY and added the Din Font.

-Added a new Akemi main menu slide as per poll suggestion.

Chapter Update

Around 1560 Renders and 31 animations
5k+ lines of code

This is essentially almost 2 chapters long, cause I, wanted to convey what I needed to in said chapter and not wanting to leave anything out. Big-big update, as I've stated, the majority of MTWY's cast will appear in this new chapter along with the introduction of an extremely important one. I had to design, re-design and edit a lot of models, maps, and scenes. Apart from the usual writing, rendering, and animating. It was a fun chapter to make but highly exhausting. It was just one group scene(not that kind of scene) after another, along with the recent GPU mishap I've encountered. I've noticed a few clippings during the final edit that I couldn't address, but this release is long overdue so I will address those later on. Likely be in a few days along with the wallpapers I need to follow up on.

Anyway, this is the first chapter I've had in a while that I've released that I didn't have any doubts about what I did, the last time was at ch13. I just had this nagging feeling every release since then if I had done all I could or should have I done it in another way. Also, this is the the first chapter since chapter 8 that I didn't have a clear favorite scene. It's 5 am and I'm rambling, also there was this one particular scene that I wanted to make sure I made as best as  I could.

Random Rant

Feel free to skip this, but it's been one crap after the other.

-GPU gave out, most of you know this.

-Next, our withdrawal of MTWY money via Payoneer is marked as completed, but the payment never came to us. It's been under review for so long now. They keep saying we're in high priority but other than that, no reply. If anyone has a similar experience with this that can help us, please do. We did the withdrawal on July 6th. UPDATE: We received the funds on the 19th but that took way too long, For 2 years we've been using Payoneer and it has always been within the day.

Please note that this rant below was made on the 17th of July:

-Our internet modem crapped out today when we were supposed to upload. Well, it's been crapping on us since Friday so that's part of bad luck. The onsite visit by the ISP was postponed because it's the weekend.

The initial plan was, to finish the final edit which is fast, then upload before going to the cinema to watch Inisidious, We had no internet connection from 10am to 6pm, huzzah! I'm supposed to be done with releasing this chapter hours ago with most of you surely having sped through it by now, but our ISP apparently had a plan on keeping me awake til the sun rises and I'd probably be asleep when they arrive later.

Just a crappy experience altogether this past month, we will be able to get over it. Cheers!
