Semryu wasn’t intended as a RO?
Nope, not originally. My initial plan for WWU was for there to be a love triangle between the MC, Jun and Ay’cyre (a), with the MC being interested in Jun (doomed) or Ay’cure(a) (complicated because of the Jun thing). But when WWU came out and the reviews came in as well as the forum reactions, I knew I had to make adjustments to allow for Sem to be a romance character. (As well as make more options in general, since tbh I’d been a bit limited in my thinking with the original love triangle) This is also the direct reason I chose to have Semryu be “oblivious” to the MC when it came to the actual dance/dating, as a bit of a cheeky retort to my readers. XD.
I’ve also always found the whole thing particularly funny when I comes to certain reviews of the games; there’s been several for WWU that claim I was “shoving the romance with Sem down the readers throat” to which u can only laugh my head off, cause it was NEVER there in the first game XD

Honestly, I like romantic Sem a lot too. He’s very dashing but genuine. Though I’m also partial to Kess’s interactions as well. Honestly, every one of my RO has things I like

As anyone who has read my previous comments would know, my favorite RO is Kess, followed up by Shelly

In all honesty I mentally tend to put the MC with Kess, though i will never officially name a canon RO simply because it will break too many hearts lol

I’m now hoping for a, “And you have my axe” reference. I like these achievements, are you going to make some of them secrets so that you don’t give away accidental spoilers? Like some of these can be interpreted to give ideal builds away.
2 Likes
I’d love that reference too!
Hurm, I might do that in 3 if there’s room. I’m actually lacking the WWU2 canon achievements cause I’m not sure if they will give away too much: I’m too keen on secret achieve ments either, cause that defeats the purpose of trying to find then XD though I do think I leave a good mix of hinting where things might be without being too spolierific

So, been doing some thinking as i go through working on WWU3 as well as the updates to 1&2, and was wondering still about all the things i’d have liked to do for the first two games and couldn’t justify adding in because it’s a lot of extra work for no extra income. (the updates alone for 1&2 have taken months of my life, and there’s only a few new scenes) SO, thinking on these two things i put this question to you: sometime in the future (definitely after the newest update) would you my fine readers be open to having in-app chances to purchase additional options in WW:U?
Direct example: the #1 thing ppl ask me for in WW:U is to play as a non-human character, and the reason i’ve never done it is because the non-human races would open up far, far too many *choice possibilities for me to incorporate throughout the game-- literally dozens of new content (just fights alone when you can phase through stuff as a Muilan or shape-shift into a freaking DRAGON as a Tazu) and dang, its just too much to add-in for free. But what if you could buy a ‘pack’ to unlock all the non-human options at once? So, when you’d get the first choice in the game to pick your country, there’d be a new *choice that reads something to the tune of: #“i want to purchase the ‘non-human pack’ and play as a non-human race, pay $.99.” And when you click on that and purchase, you’ve now unlocked ALL the three non-human races. Then, from there-on in the game(s), anytime there’s a race =! “human” you’re getting new content and *choices.
Thoughts?
