All right, first and foremost I want to give my thanks to Kashikari for making this thread and to everyone that played and enjoyed Witches & Woodlands.
But there's a lot I want to discuss in this thread.
Before I forget I'll put here a link to Kinjo's guide on how to make your own fangame using onscripter and the umineko script. I received a lot of requests about that, so I think it would be useful to put all the necessary resources in the first page, so if anyone asks, redirect them to the first page of the fanfic thread:
Kinjo's latest onscripter guide:

Onscriper command reference:

If you plan to start your own project I suggest you to use the script from Episode8, do not use mine, since I have removed a lot of script lines that weren't used in my story (you can still extract it to use as reference).
A lot of people prefer to use the most popular Ren'py
http://renpy.org/
The pro of Ren'py is that it's a lot easier to use, the con is that you need to start from scratch and need to convert all the graphic you need.
I'm not familiar with the program, but maybe Renall can fill in the details, since he's using that for his "Witch Hunters Abroad".
And since I'm on the subject, I really enjoyed the first part of Renall's fan game, I want to read how it ends, and I want to see the fable sprites of the witch hunters, when will you finish it, Renall?!
Also you might want to check Kinjo's fangames as well, he created a specific thread here:

As for the rest... well it's just easier to give the link to a list on TVTropes:

There are a few that are missing though...
Now I'll take this chance to talk about the secret riddle hidden in the latest patch of witches & woodlands.
For those who haven't noticed there is an "extra.rar" file included in the patch and you get the password as soon as you finish the Tea party
for the lazy and forgetful the password is:
lower case.
however once you extract this file, you can see there's another rar named "treasure chest.rar". In order to open it you need to solve my riddle!
There is a hint included among the images in the extra.rar, you can start from that.
Kinjo and Anon-kun (and another anon) are trying to solve it but they are stuck.
If you wish to know how much they progressed:
Spoiler for W&W riddle:
This is what they sent me
basically the file messaggio.png was printed, cut in many little squares and then recomposed.
I can testify that the reconostruction is correct. Now it's only a matter of deciphering what is written. And this is a riddle so it probably also needs to be interpreted. But how?
Let me hear your reasonings! But don't forget to put use spoiler tags for those who wish to solve it by themselves.
