New NP Choices 👀

As promised, here are two of the new NP choices in Chapter 4 where you can let your twin or friends finally talk back against Tita Steph. I had a lot of fun writing them 😄

Take note that picking these options will increase Wayne's Silliness and Roselyna's Emotional stats respectively (plus a bunch of other things), so you might not want to pick them if you don't want them to act like that later.

I've also expanded the scene where MC talks back to Tita Steph, so there will now be a new Intimidation stat check (which will grant you a new achievement if you succeed) if you pick that option.

I might share Heart/Star Twin, Lily, and JM's scenes later, but that's all for now!

To celebrate Rosie's (of @ddwcaph-game) birthday, I drew her and my MC, Agnes Madrigal in a fairytale-ish setting.

Happy Birthday, Rosie!

[ddwcaph-game]

Awwie. 😊❤️

Well, of course you can't just draw one of them without the other twin getting jealous. 😛

Anyway, thank you for sharing him! I might make an emoji for him too but it'll have to wait for now.

Oh, and a note about the lockets: I already had someone tell me that they preferred the silver lockets, so at this point I just need to find a way to seamlessly include the gold/silver option for both lockets. :3

not me clowning @ 3 pm in the afternoon, after my classes just bc he called to be drawn but. here I am :) anyways HE!!!!!

Julieandmaggie'schildhoodjulie andmaggie'schildhood JULIE AND MAGGIE'S CHILDHOOD!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I WOULD LOOOVVEE TO SEE THE "original(previous)" TWINS!!!!!!! I've always wondered what how much trouble they got theirselves into compared to the DDWCAPH twins🤭

Yes yes yes!!! Maggie and julie's childhood story!!!! I'm so looking forward to it!!! The wayne and rosie traveling alone and all the other stories are very interesting too tho!!!!

Hehe. Okay, I'm a little surprised that people are excited to learn more about Maggie and Julie's backstory, although it's unlikely to be one of the stories I'll write first (mostly because the other ones are more developed). I'm not sure which POV I'll write it in, but with Maggie being the MC I'm leaning a bit more towards Julie since I find that perspective more interesting.

Although I'd say that Wayne and Roselyna are actually the original twins, since Maggie and Julie being twins is more of a recent development.

Speaking of, I've actually already kinda outlined Wayne and Rosie's perspective of the cursed fieldtrip and their Samar adventure, but it probably won't come out anytime soon.

I'm excited to write everything though! I actually haven't written from Maggie's perspective before (or much of the other adults really 😅).

[ddwcaph-game]

Happy Birthday Wayne and Roselyna!*

Oh look, another year, another birthday where I don't have a present for my favorite goobers. I know this is a bit late*, but I'm still chugging along with the update, and I wanna finish that first before I get back into drawing again.

But instead of beating myself up again for not having done anything special, I want to take this moment instead to reminisce a bit about my early days with these two gremlins.

This was buried in the very first post I made on the blog, but if you haven't seen it yet, this is the first drawing I have of Wayne and Roselyna together, back when they were still 8 year old twins!

You can tell it's really old because they still had black hair, Rosie still has the (amethyst) heart locket, and Rosie's nowhere near as huggable as she is now. Hehe.

And this is the very first drawing I had of Roselyna. Minor spoiler, but that is supposed to be Wilboar, back when he was still named Waddles. He obviously has a different design now, and as you can see from the tiny scribble on the sign above, she was celebrating her birthday at the inn/tavern of Cordelia's parents.

(Please ignore the ferret, it's a joke character from one of my old RPs back in the day)

Anyway, time really flies, huh? I can't believe my little goobers are already 17 years old. They've been living inside my head for almost a decade now, but I'll have to wait until November for that. Maybe I'll have time to draw them as teens by then.

~~~

Speaking of Wayne and Roselyna, I'll be posting some more sneak peeks on the new update about them later today/tomorrow! If you have any presents/messages for either of them, I'll be sure to let them know too!

[ddwcaph-game]

Happy Birthday Wayne and Roselyna!

It's hard to believe that it's Rosie's 16th birthday already (and Wayne's 4th birthday tomorrow), and that they've been living in my head for more than a third of my life now.

I feel bad not having any present for my little goobers again (especially because tomorrow is extra-special for Wayne), but since I basically lost all my art files, I decided to finally share this old 3D animation of Wayne and Roselyna (please read the video description for more details):

This is obviously non-canon, of course. 😛

[ddwcaph-game]

I'm still alive

Hello everyone! I'm still chugging along with the next update. I know that's like the 99th time I've said that already, but I've added a lot of new stuff to Chapter 4 and the previous chapters since the beta, that even the beta feels outdated already.

Anyway, I'm making good progress again, and I'm currently finishing writing Roselyna's diary. Except I have no idea how many people are even going to read them 😅 so here's a poll:

(Please note that there'll be a choice where Rosie will willingly let you read her diary if you choose her as your bestfriend, but that's a different question entirely.)

[ddwcaph-game]

Omg I just received a couple of very cute Roselyna fanart from @steadyenemypersona! 💖

Thank you so much for letting me share them on the blog! This was a very nice surprise. 😊 I wasn't really planning to make more character art until maybe next year, but seeing this kinda makes me want to now. I know I need to update Rosie's character art in her uniform, but I don't mind in the slightest.

I like your art style and I love all the details, especially Rosie's wonderfully messy hair, hehe. Roselyna is very much flattered you picked her out of everyone in F6E—which is funny, because I can see her flattered pose just like the one on the right. 😄

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the update! Here's some koala hugs from Rosie: 🤗🤗🤗

[ddwcaph-game]

I wanna get back to drawing again once I'm finally done with Chapter 5, but for now I just wanna reblog Mermaid Rosie before Mermay ends! 🧜‍♀️

Mermaid Roselyna

I'm done with all the character art for the next update!

I've never done anything for Mermay before, but one of the scenes in Chapter 4 inspired me to draw Roselyna as a mermaid/selkie, so I finally took the opportunity!

Rosie would prefer to be a selkie of course, but that wouldn't make much sense, so I drew her tail fin to be a little more like seal flippers instead.

And yup, you actually get to see this in Chapter 4 if you pick a certain choice. Hehe. 😊

[ddwcaph-game]

Hello everyone! The next update isn't close to being finished yet, since as usual I keep adding in new stuff, but before I respond to the asks for Roselyna's Matchmaking Service, I thought I'd update/recap everyone on all the big changes and new stuff that's coming:

New Nickname Changes/Options

MC's Pet Backstory

More Details about MC's Dad

Revamped Twin Fight Scene

New Secret About Julie & Maggie

JM's Mansion Sleepover Branch

Ancestry and Heritage Passives

Character Class, Trait, and Stat Adjustments

New Locket Stat and Intimidation Stat Rework

Missing Choices

Read below for more details:

New Nickname Changes/Options

You will now be able to change MC & Twin's nicknames anytime once you unlock the diary!

In addition, you will now also be able to choose/change the nickname you use for each F6E member (even if you aren't bestfriends), and change what you call Maggie/MC's Dad/Julie/Robert via the diary.

Speaking of nicknames, Wayne's diary entry will now mention that his middle name (and Mary's maiden name) is Hart! Of course, it's very much on brand for him to say that that's his middle name. 😄

MC's Pet Backstory

MC's pet will now have a prosthetic (I'm thinking one of their hind legs).

Okay, it's not an actual backstory, but this opens up new backstory opportunities (you'll know if you read IAC), about why Julie and Robert adopted them in the first place.

More Details about MC's Dad

In the next update, I will be updating the prologue to mention the job of MC's Dad, along with finally giving the option to choose where MC's Dad is from (if your MC is Half-Filipino).

Revamped Twin Fight Scene

I haven't actually played through DDWCaPH! since I finished Chapter 2, and when I finally did last month, I noticed a ton of typos, confusing lines, and awkward scenes, which I'll be working to address.

The twin fight scene in Chapter 1 is definitely a big offender, so I'll try to rewrite it so it has a bit more build up.

New Secret About Julie & Maggie

The last conversation you have with Paddy in Chapter 5 will have new details about Julie's laptop. Technically I've already kinda spoiled this secret before in one of the older versions, but here's a related hint featuring a new choice in Chapter 3:

I've also changed a few details in the conversation about how Tita Josie met Kuya Popoy, but you're not supposed to know that secret until Chapter 6 in the new branch. 😉 Speaking of...

JM's Mansion Sleepover Branch

Since I'll be skipping the Investigation Branch for now, I figured adding this branch is a good middle ground. It also lets me move the unfinished party conversation with Tita Steph/Yaya Connie/Kuya Popoy to that branch instead, since the party scene is overloaded already. Plus, it's also the only chance you'll have to visit his mansion.

Anyway, it looks like the majority want to have the sleepover at JM's instead! (Although I have a hunch that some of you are just more interested in having the chance to talk to B again 😛) I had a bit of trouble adapting some of the Chapter 6 scenes I've planned, but I figured it out eventually.

Ancestry and Heritage Passives

You will now be able to select your MC's Ancestry Trait regardless of your chosen favorite genre! You can check out this post for details about all the new passives.

Character Class, Trait, and Stat Adjustments

Character Class Buffs

Class Bonuses will be increased from 5/10/20% to 10/20/30% to make them more impactful. Class Passives will now also give +25/50/100% EXP from successful stat checks of the same stat as the Class Bonus (since the coding for it is already there).

Vocabulary Trait Changes

Someone pointed out that it's weird that inputting a custom swear word always censors it, so now I'm making it so that only the 🐤[Young at Heart] and 🐣[Child at Heart] Traits will censor your input and most of the swear words.

In addition, the above traits will now grant bonus EXP when increasing your Naive Personality, while the other two vocabulary traits 🦅[Mini-Adult] / 🦆[Childhood Graduate] will grant bonus EXP when increasing your Precocious Personality to make them a bit more immersive.

Gender Traits

As mentioned in the last poll, I was considering including the gender-related options (specifically Trans/Non-binary/Genderfluid/Questioning) to the list of Traits.

The majority seemed in agreement, so I'll go ahead with the change (unless someone has a good argument against it). I think adding it to the list of traits better communicates to the player that it's not just a cosmetic choice that gets forgotten.

Other Trait Adjustments

The 🥇[Top 5] and 🥈[Top 10] Trait Requirements have been lowered significantly (and now takes MC's Knowledge Stat into consideration). To make the EXP Penalty make more sense, it now only applies to EXP gained from Knowledge Stat checks.

This also applies to the 😎[Self-Confident] EXP Penalty (it now only applies to EXP gained from Charm Stat checks).

There are a bunch of other Trait adjustments, but these are the biggest ones.

New Locket Stat and Intimidation Stat Rework

Now that you've discovered one of your locket's powers, I've decided to add a new main stat alongside your HP. This will function like mana or energy in other games, and if you've read IAC, you probably have an idea of what this will be used for in the future. 😉

Your maximum HP will now also be increased to 1,000, and each point of Vigor will now increase it by 10. This was done to make chip damage (like being whacked with a stuffed toy) less threatening.

The Intimidation Stat will now be based on your Vigor Stat, and is increased by 50% of both of your Cold and Composed Personality Stats. Certain Traits/Passives will still increase/decrease Intimidation, but this makes the stat less dependent on your personality stats.

For example: A Tall MC with 30 Vigor, 70% Cold, and 50% Composed will have an Intimidation Stat of 54.

Missing Choices

This includes:

Valentine's Entry in Roselyna's Diary

Karaoke party scene with Paddy, Wayne, and Roselyna

Pinoy Henyo party scene with Lily, JM, Yaya Connie, Kuya Popoy, and Mayari

Sari-sari Store Trinket

Chapter 3 Bike Choice (This was already coded actually, I just forgot to make it selectable 😅)

The 3rd Phone Game (Honestly I procrastinated doing this one because I wanted to make the name different according to your favorite genre. Yup.)

I'm also aware that the background music isn't playing, so I'll try to fix that as well (no idea how that happened)

That's not everything in the next update, but yup, that's why it's taking so long again.

Feel free to ask me questions about the next update! I'm still currently deep in the coding mines, so apologies if it takes me a while to respond to the asks for Roselyna's Matchmaking Service!

[ddwcaph-game]

idk if this goes on the iac blog or not but do u have any random(/unconnected) facts abt the story worlds . they seem so interesting

Yup, this is more fitting for the IAC blog! I could share some random facts, but I'm honestly overdue for cleaning up all my old worldbuilding notes, and I don't wanna mention something that's likely to be outdated with all the new developments since then.

But until I've done that (I wanna finish the update first), you can browse through my previous worldbuilding posts for now:

This post (in the IAC blog) has a list of characters in Wayne's story world! The post also contains links to other 4 worldbuilding posts related to his story world. Here's another post with more info about the different settings in Escheria.

This sneak peek also has some info about the characters in Roselyna's story world.

If you're willing to dig through, you can also browse the tags list (I fixed the links so they work on mobile now), but these tags are probably the most relevant for you:

This isn't exhaustive, but hopefully I can share more information in the near future! I've also been brainstorming in the spoilers channel in the Discord, but nothing there is concrete for now.

[ddwcaph-game]

SUPERR invested in the story after i came after playing IAC (the change in POV is so cute and i cannot help but wonder how we're going to address the. redacted cliffhanger at the end of the game because i was full on YELLING??) but i just had to wonder - since we had the opportunity to have some of our characters be ~romantics~ and have crushes on a few characters (which i will be doing in a later playthrough with jm and lil and the rest wahooo - and that reminds me!! despite playing a completely platonic run the game is still. so enjoyable which is so great and really speaks to the world building),, do any of the characters have crushes on mc (even if not encouraged by the game)? I know some of the characters (spoilers ahead) like rosy canonically think others like brandon are handsome so.... i was wondering if that's the same for us :3 have a great day!

Hello there, I'm glad you liked reading DDWCaPH! after playing IAC! 😊 Which is a good thing, because the two stories won't converge until Volume 4, hehe.

But to answer your question: Currently, only Wayne and Roselyna can have a secret crush on MC (if you meet their chemistry requirements).

Your chemistry score with each character depends on a lot of factors, such as your appearance, traits, personality stats, and choices. (Send me another ask if you want specifics for each character!) If your confession results in a "Mutual Crush Established!", that means they were already having a crush on MC. But if not, you will still have several opportunities to win them over the course of the story.

The easiest way to know if Wayne or Roselyna has a crush on MC without confessing, is if they're waiting for you to wake up after the Chapter 5 incident (unless they're your bestfriend, since your BFF will always be there). You can also discover if Wayne/Roselyna has a crush on MC if you read the Valentine's entry in Roselyna's diary if you sneak inside her room (although I haven't written that entry yet).

But for JM, Lily, and B, they won't have a crush on MC until later, and they will never develop the crush even if you meet their chemistry requirements, unless MC shows interest first.

(And if anyone's curious, it's possible for Cordelia to have a secret crush on MC too if you meet her requirements, but Cham is the most oblivious, so there will be no progress with her until MC confesses first.)

That said, I want to make it clear that you won't be missing any scenes at all if you decide to just be friends with everyone. Thank you so much for the ask! 😄

[ddwcaph-game]

I feel a little bad not having done anything special for the blog for a while now, so I thought I'd bring back Roselyna's Chocolyna's Matchmaking Service. 😛

I don't want this to take too much focus from the update, so I'll limit it to just one MC per ask this time (and sorry in advance if I take a while to respond or if I don't respond in-character).

Send away! 😊

Omg hello hiii! It's Valentine's Day! ❤️

*hugs* I don't really have anyone to celebrate it with, so I thought it'd be fun to do a little matchmaking for my schoolmates! Just send me a description (appearance/traits/personality) of your MC and I'll tell you which of my friends will like them the best! If you have any cards or messages, I'll give it to them too! (I'll tell you what their reactions are too, heehee 😊) P.S. i'll take any flowers or chocolates if you don't want them 🍫🌹

[ddwcaph-game]

Hey....so i'm back again (i'm anon who ask you about MC carry Rosie at the end) sorry if i being grumpy

So this time my other MC who is tall and average build try to run after Rosie at the end but she don't be there just in time. I try so hard to play MC but she still can't run after Rosie and for some reason her grace just 26% and ber grace and knowledge just random lower for no reason i don't know what to do anymore and i going to cry now (sorry for being dramatic)

Also it that option for MC to wear a hat? I want my little guy (my small MC) to wear his hat, i headcanon his big sister (star twin) buy it for him so he wear it anytime.

Hi, hello again!

Sorry if you're having trouble with it, but the achievement for saving Roselyna is supposed to be hard to get, as you're not actually supposed to save her. Even if you do manage to save her, you still get the bus choice (as the bus will now head towards Wayne and Paddy instead).

Like I said, it might be a little easier to save Rosie in the next update because of the new traits. And if you've finished a playthrough, please send me your playthrough codes via the survey! The game is still a work-in-progress, and the codes you send will help me balance and determine the appropriate difficulty for the stat checks.

Anyway, that seems like a fun thing to headcanon! Unfortunately, I can't promise I'll add anything like that, especially because I will be turning DDWCaPH! into a visual novel. There is a TON of customization stuff to draw already, and if I add one hat, I also need to include other types of hats, and then I'll have to comb through and edit all the chapters just to include that one line where the hat gets mentioned.

I could simply just add it to the list of accessories, but there's a lot of other things to consider: Does MC take it off whenever they go indoors? What would the characters say when they see it? Does it get blown off by the wind? What happens to the hat in the scene where MC faints? It's a whole new layer of customization that I am not willing to deal with.

I'm sorry for the ramble, but I'd rather not add an option, than add it but never mention it again. I hope you understand. 😅

[ddwcaph-game]

I just realized something about Roselyna and Little B...

I know Rosie can be too childish sometimes (especially since I aged her up to 12 when she still mostly has her 8-9 yo personality), but when Little B or kids younger than her are around, she tends to dial it back quite a bit. She loves playing with little kids, but she knows when to be stern (or manipulative) when they're being naughty or too playful so they don't get hurt.

So I rewrote the scene where Little B steals some candy from Rosie, and now she channels a bit of her "inner Ma'am Bianes" to make Little B give the candies back. Yaya Connie then jokingly asks Tito Mariano if she can borrow Rosie for a bit since she's clearly better at getting Little B to behave.

Rosie wants to be a teacher and have lots of siblings/a big family, so I think it makes sense that side of her shows up whenever she's not the youngest in the group (except JM because he's much more mature than her). I guess she's more afraid with the concept of growing up, than the responsibilities it entails (she loves being babied, but she's not fussy with doing chores at all).
