Witches & Woodlands Part 3




Warning for Umineko Chiru Episode 6 spoiler












You've been waiting for this for a LONG time!
And now... it's here! Finally!

Witches & Woodlands - Part 3

The breathtaking fantasy saga that sees
our favorite Umineko characters as protagonists
is finally reaching a conclusion!

Will our heroes survive the last four trials?
Will they finally meet Beatrice?
And what will the plot twist that
was promised 6 months ago be?

All the questions will be answered in this
last patch! So what are you waiting for?
Download it from here:

IMPORTANT

There is a more recent version of Witches & Woodlands you can find here:

http://janpoolab.blogspot.it/2011/12/witches-woodlands-35.html

Only download the previous if you don't possess
Umineko Episode8 and don't plan to buy it.


This patch is compatible with EP6, EP7 and EP8
(Part 1 and Part 2 are included)

Just install it the way you always did for
the "witch hunt" patches, or the past W&W patch,
you shouldn't have any problem.

And now a few screenshots from the game, which
of course won't reveal anything relevant.

















Jessica: Okay mom, this isn't hard to play. You just need to click the mouse.
Natsuhi: Why am I doing this...
Jessica: Because it's great! The ending's my favorite part!
Erika: Wait a sec... you said that I'd tell Battler that I loved him, when does that happen?!
Jessica: What are you talking about? You did that in Part 2 already!
Erika: When?!
Jessica: I feel a little sorry for you... Battler will break your heart in Part 3 when he'll refuse to kiss you...
Erika: I never asked him to do so!
Jessica: But then you'll finally find your soul mate during the final showdown!
Erika: I'm seriously going to kill you...
Dlanor: Miss Erika perhaps you need a HINT.
Erika: I don't need to reason about Jessica's delusions!
Jessica: Hey Dlanor, so when will you pay for that fourth wall? I'm still waiting for the money...
Kinzo: Aaaaaaah!!! It's here! It's here! It's finally here!
Beatrice: Are you happy now?
Kinzo: No... where's Duke Nukem Forever?! Why it hasn't been released yet?!
Beatrice: ............
Battler: At least we have a release date now...
Erika: In before: "sorry the release date will be postponed".
Kinzo: Aaaaah! Duke Nukem Forever! Why you keep on escaping meeeee?!!! Duke Nukem Foreveeeeeer!!!
Jessica: Let's just play W&W... okay...?

Update on the work in progress




I thought it was time to give you an update on the
current situation of W&W part 3, since it's also been
a long time from the last time I made a post, and this
was supposed to be finished a lot earlier. To think I
originally planned to release the whole thing before EP7...
what the hell was I thinking?!
To be honest I didn't expect at all that this would become
this long. It was supposed to be more or less like part 1...
the mere idea makes me laugh now...
Anyway! Current progress:


Belphegor's trial: FINISHED
Satan's trial: FINISHED
Leviathan's "trial": FINISHED
Lucifer's trial: FINISHED

Final Showdown: FINISHED
Epilogue: FINISHED

Compatibility Testing: FINISHED
Bugfix: FINISHED

Proofreading: FINISHED


DIE! DIE! DIE!
DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!

DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE
DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE

Die The death!

Sentence to death!

Great equalizer is The Death!!


I'll take this chance to inform everyone that I made
a youtube channel for Witches & Woodlands.
Of course, if you are here, you probably don't need to watch
those videos (it's a lot better to play the game directly), but
if you care about it, I wrote some comments that might
interest you. Also you might want to watch this one:




It shows two easter eggs that you probably missed (5:33 and 5:47).
Oh and if you like W&W rate up the videos! Maybe if the rate
is high enough youtube will feature them or something.
There is no better reward for me than to know that my story is
being read and enjoyed by a lot of people.

So I'll take the chance to thanks everyone that helped
me to spread my works to the umineko fans community.

THANK YOU!

I cannot name everyone but I want to mention at least these sites:

Animesuki Forum - The whole USO DA series simply wouldn't exist
without it. This is also the place from where most people pass through
before getting here.

Animeraku - It was the first blog (that I know of) that made a review
about my yonkoma. And one year later it's still being read!

The visual novel database - Seriously, I feel out of place! I particularly thank
Roger Pepitone, who made the entry on this site. Roger Pepitone is also
the one who introduced me to the onscripter program. If I sticked
to mere graphic edits I could have never made W&W.

TV tropes - Lot of nice stuff there, it's cool to see my site has been listed.
Thanx Xellos08

TahYllis youtube channel - I actually made a link to his site as soon
as I created this blog. TahYllis has been a source of inspiration
for me and for many other umineko parodies.
But this time I'm thanking him for mentioning W&W in one
of his last videos! I was really happy when I saw that.

Witches & Woodlands Part 2




Warning for Umineko Chiru Episode 5 spoiler












Rejoice! Witches & Woodlands - Part 2 is here!
Unfortunately this is only the first half of what I originally intended to release.
But look at the bright side, it's still longer than Part 1
and there will be a Part 3 in the future!

The reason I decided to split this patch is due to the fact
I realized I couldn't finish the whole thing in the nearest future.
Saturday I'm going on a vacation and then I'll be glued to my PC
trying to translate EP7.
That means you won't see me for a long while. This is also
why I decided to release W&W2 on this unusual day.
In case there are some real bad bugs that prevent the game
from working, I want to be here to fix them. So if you
notice something like that, be sure to tell me asap because
from the 7 to the 17 you'll be on your own.

But I guess you just want to download the stuff, okay, okay!
you can download it from here:

EDIT: get the updated patch instead



Note that this is only compatible with EP6.
That's because while I was working on it, I realized that without
noticing I made the characters act in certain ways that remind
things that they have only done in EP6. So I don't recommend
to play this game if you haven't played EP6 first. Even though
there isn't really any direct spoiler regarding that.

For non windows users: be sure to get an updated interpreter
since I've been told that some texts do not display correctly
with older versions.

As for the installation, if you install this patch the way you
always did for the "witch hunt" patches, you should have no
problems.

And now a few screenshots from the game, so you can
get a (wrong) idea of what you should expect!













Will the six heroes survive this first part
of the trial of the seven sisters of Purgatory?
If you have a doubt you are probably not a great detective.

I mean, come on, I already told you there's going to be a Part 3!
