Welcome!

I'm WaifuFanOne and I make various adult stuff, but mostly comics and games. 

Before games, I used to make comics. Go check 'em out! :)

___________________________________

Hourglass Magic is a "Create Your Own Adventure" with a sprinkle of breast expansion. 

Based on Waifuverse comic series, Hourglass Magic is a small comic-based game featuring multiple choises with various endings.

___________________________________

Generally, each Waifuverse episode consists of multiple chapters, so the game will be updated weekly until reaching the release at around the end of May 2024.

___________________________________

 This little thingie will be updated on whenever I have time, as my main focus is making an actual big visual novel. However, I do my best to always keep an extra Patreon update in case it's hard for you to wait for the next chapter to go public. Which is why I'd appreciate if you...

Support the Game on Patreon!

Anyways, hope you enjoy the art style of my comics! Feel free to have fun!

Love,
WFO ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

My sincere apologies for being so slow with the HM development! I've made this game as a taste-test for a more ambitious project i've been working on for the past several months.

I'm aiming to drop a bunch of updates for both HM and that new project in August.

Thank you for your patience! ๐Ÿ’›

ok

what ai do use pls reply the link

Hey, sorry for missing out.

I use Anything v.3.0 Stable Diffusion model and paint over the images. About 20-40% of what you see here (i.e. eyes, hands, hair, some minor background details) are painted by hand.

The visuals are basically a Frankenstein abomination :D

Hope that clarifies things.

ok

Whooooooo, new update for non subscribers

All things regarding Waifuverse will be 100% free. It'll just take a lil' while :)

Ok

These procedurally-generated images that you used a bot to compile from stolen artwork give me some serious uncanny valley. The writing is so full of typos and bad English that it can't make up for it like the stories G-U-C writes. I don't get why the eco-destruction is worth it unless you're trying to get rich quick through grifting.

Hey there,

First thing - ouch. The worst thing one can do to a creator is to compare their work to the other one straight in their face. While I do value your opinion, I would much rather appreciate a more constructive feedback, featuring typos and bad English so that I could implement improvements making the overall story better. What you're doing here is just dumping onto a person for trying to entertain people completely for free.  I never charged anyone to pay for any of the Waifuverse stories since I do know that they're not mine visual works and that will never change. I also started learning how to draw and published multiple self-made artworks because of that, because I want to deliver things that are my own.

Second thing - I do know that I'm a piece of shit that in terms of skill is not even remotely close to what people in the industry are capable of which is why I'm spending 9-12 hrs daily working on improving my drawing writing & gamedev skills.

This lil' thingie was intended to be a test post to understand how itch game distribution works as I'm currently working on a bigger project and don't want to mess things up with an improper launch.

In the end, I truly believe that you've evaluated the weight of your words and thought them through before posting this, as they did hurt my feelings of not being able to meet expectations. If you were aiming for that - there you have it - huge success.

But probably, it's for my own good that you guys exist, as it pushes me forward in terms of delivering better stuff. Sorry for the disappointment.

Regards,
WFO

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, and I apologize for that. But yes, I truly did think this through before saying it. I wasn't saying it purely to try and cause harm. It was my genuine reaction to reading your comic here.

The uncanny valley of the bot-stolen artwork made the art unenjoyable to me despite my BE fetish. The writing also couldn't make up for the uncanny valley and guilt of being an accessory to eco-terrorism and art theft because it was so full of typos and poor grammar. Those are my genuine thoughts after giving your comic a fair shot and doing my best to come at it in good faith.

I've found writing that was good enough that I could enjoy the story even if I couldn't enjoy the art, but I couldn't apply that exception here. I'm sorry that I couldn't enjoy your comic despite trying my best.

But even if you're not charging for it, I have to question why that makes theft okay. If I steal someone's lawn ornament and gift it to someone else, I still stole it. None of the artists that had their art stolen to feed into the machine-learning algorith to procedurally generate the images were paid, credited, or asked for permission to have their art used and the anti-environmentalist destruction that the image generator uses doesn't seem worth it.

I also have to question why someone eager to improve as a writer, artist, and game developer would willingly want to be associated with data hacking, uncanny valley, art theft, "exaggerated cartoon communist meme" thinking where everything belongs to everyone, con artist tech bros who jumped to "AI images" as the "the future" after the NFT bubble birst, eco-terrorism almost on the level of cryptomining, con marks who are too stupid to understand how AI images work via art theft, the attempt from corporations to replace artists so they don't have to pay them, and wanting to side against the many, many, many starving artists who worked hard for years to gain their skills only to have their work stolen by machine-learning algorithms to replace them with procedural generation. It just seems incredibly self-contradictory to me that you would want to improve as an artist while supporting the replacement of artists using machines stealing their work. AI images have no soul. I may not be an artist, but I'm a writer and I can never see the appeal in procedurally-generated stories like ChatGPT when they lack any soul or heart and steal from writers such as myself.

I made an account purely because I saw this disgusting cunty behaviour being met with such kindness only for it to continue.

waifu fan one, you're fantastic and clearly kind and should ignore this uninformed cunt fully.

to above commenter, the fact you'd not only write your first comment but then react to such an overly nice reply to your unbelievable cruelty shows you SERIOUSLY need to put down your crusade and activism as a way to feel it justifies your hatred and you're a good person, go get therapy and fix yourself before even THINKING about having the right to criticise others. If Waifu fan had done wrong, which they hadn't, you'd still be unbelievably nasty and full of hatred as a person.

Given the reply you got being SO MUCH BETTER than you deserved, yet you continued to attack with your stupid informed braindead spoonfed takes on ai art without really thinking about any of what they'd said just shows you're so obsessed with 'doing good' with your opinions being forced onto others that I bet you don't even notice how awfully you are acting: you're not saving the world or helping people you're spewing cruelty and malice onto people you don't know. That is NOT a good person: that is a person desperate to be and stay miserable and avoid dealing with their life but instead take out their anger by spewing hatred on others.


I truly don't care if you accept this or not: if you do and learn to look inwards you've just seriously started down the path to happiness. If not, you'll continue being awful and realise eventually the venom was poisoning you. Either way I don't give a shit as I know someone like you is unlikely to even CONSIDER that it's not a normal, nice, healthy (and in fact sick and cruel) thing to do to put random people down so viciously and personally as you felt entitled to do.

This post is for waifu fan to say don't give this cunt the time of day, you're not stealing as he implies and in fact it is art to create the stories you have and learn the skill of ai image artistry as you have.

He has no concept of how ai works and if learning from a database of millions of images to create something new is stealing, then all artists ever are stealing as they are all inspired and learn from those before.

He's just salty that yes, new technology like this is a threat to artists and that Is an issue. But to take that out on you and throw around words like ecoterrorism is disgusting.


I'm sure he's never taken a plane, driven a car, owned clothes made in sweatshops, bought an iphone or jesus better not have bought anything made in china. and CERTAIN he's never pirated a single thing. Any of these would make him a MASSIVE HYPOCRITE. You are to blame for using an amazing new technology that allows you to create the art you want and put it out FOR FREE just because you weren't born naturally extremely artistically gifted. Be a good person like above and create NOTHING but go around spreading genuine cruelty on your righteous ignorant crusade towards innocent people. Imagine a world with more of him and less of you. It would be Horrific. Seriously you have to be pretty sick to spend your time genuinely writing out comments like that designed to actually hurt and demotivate you. Take comfort in knowing your response showed (too much) kindness and character and he will absolutely ignore everything in this post other than to defend himself, which will never be seen.People like him poison their lives and ignore the truth of why, instead blaming others, and its truly sad in the end. I'd hope he considers it and becomes happy by doing the work, but if he doesn't hell get what he deserves: nobody. Absolutely nobody. I've seen it plenty and it's astounding some people's inability to look at themselves and work, instead living unhappy rage filled lives to the end. He doesn't need punishment he's doing that himself. This post was for you because FUCK HIM and if on the internet you need to learn to not look at them and understand there's a lot of sad activists on here tryjng to justify their random cruelty.


You DON'T want to take a word of advice from them and replying with kindness just gives them a chance to make you feel worse. 

I say that because you're creating and what's more you're good. So you'll get a lot of fans and with it come the cunts. Never reply again and understand nobody has the right to treat you like that so should immediately be cut out. I don't want to see you demotivated. 

I personally hadn't noticed bad grammar but isn't a bad thing to work on improving your writing as I'm sure you do - we all should.

His comment WAS NOT how you helpfully raise that and if he didn't mean to hurt your feelings he's actually got so so much work to do as he has no idea he's being a toxic cunt. Far more likely Is he was lying, probably to himself too, as he doesn't want to think of himself as a bad person. he is.

Hope you see this but don't bother replying I don't intend to be back to read whatever he cooks up. If he still replies should show you how strongly he has to defend his ego and make every true thing I've said invalid. Can guarantee he wouldn't address some parts though; inescapable that it's sad, cruel and sick to treat a stranger that way. Wont have occurred to him but that's precisely the point. They put others down to feel they're advancing a cause and never think that they're actually just spending their time casually making the world worse. It's truly fucked when someone thinks that's not just normal, but acceptable and righteous. How about he didn't write that and instead focussed on helping artists. That's what he'd do if he cared, this is just s vehicle for his 'righteous' casual cruelty.


Sincerely,

Distinction Masters in AI from imperial college London 2021-22 and currently finally launching my own ai startup that this clown would find some problem with when it's designed to automate free money and money saving to extreme levels, mainly because the younger generation in Britain are f****d without some financial help for housing. But because ai bad I'm probably a thief for web scraping deals and coupon codes and cashback etc.

Don't care: I'm helping the world. so are you. he's making it worse. yet he lectures you on morality. truly the plague of our generation: people like him. Don't you dare quit and that means understanding these people are broken and you will always be able to be hurt by something. But don't give these hateful strangers the ability to do so. Constructive criticism great.

Hateful fuck you? stop reading asap, block and report. nobody has a right to come be a cunt to you and why on earth would you listen to what they have to say? don't stop and that means stay kind but not to these freaks, just starve them of attention And knowing they impacted you x


(Also a youtuber, its why people quit. learn this so you don't please x)

Hey there,

I appreciate such a strong commentary (Ka-freakin-boom baby!).

However, whatever your thoughts on the topic are, The best appreciation is staying kind to one another. There's already enough hate in this world, no need to spread more.

I do believe that people have all rights in the world to say anything they want about the quality of work. What was related to the person though - has been addressed enough.

Whatever your thoughts are - please refrain from insulting other people. Neither of us knows why did this comment came out in the first place, which is why the best we can do is to filter the unnecessary and stick to what's necessary. And by necessary I mean the quality of "Hourglass Magic".

In conclusion - again, thank you so much for the support. It means a ton.

Second, you made a sockpuppet account purely to harass someone who the dev was chill with.

Perhaps you should look in a mirror before you try things like this.

Especially when you resort to petty insults and defense of unethical art theft scams that you claim (without evidence) to have gotten a masters in so you could replace artists and destroy the environment.

I question your intellectual honesty and suspect you of bad actor status when you claim to be such an expert in AI tech but show ignorance of basic information about its use of art theft, as this implies that you don't know how machine-learning algorithms work despite all your time at college studying them.

I never expected to see you on here after following you almost a year ago with your initial comic for Haruka.

Yeah I'm getting slowly ready for a major game release so this is a tiny test setup I made for publishing practice. You can learn more about the game development process on my Patreon! :)

Hey wait a moment, I recognize you from Reddit! Good to see you branching out! You've done some great stuff, love the hyper preg in particular.

Edit: that said, it isn't letting me scroll down properly, I have to zoom out to see the full image and advance to the next page.

Hey, glad to see ya around! 

What device are you using for the thing? If it's mobile - there might be some issues with the way Twine framework builds its stories. 

Or, if you're using a specific desktop browser, there might also be an issue, as I've only tested it in Chrome and locally. 

Anyways, let me know what's your setup & I'll try to fix it.

(1 edit)

Desktop, Windows 10, Chrome. I don't think there's anything special about my machine that could be affecting it, but let me know if there's any other information I can provide that would be helpful.

Edit: Actually now it's not having that issue, so IDK what the problem was, sorry

yeah I've applied a small fix this morning. Glad it worked! Enjoy ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
