The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 05/April/2024
🕑 Added 2024-04-05 16:14:59 +0000 UTCA really successful week this week!
After some suggestions about multiple choices on the same screen from a few amazing patrons, I looked into how to do that and if it would work for the character creation.
And it really has! I could cry it feels like there’s finally a solution, lol! :D
It does mean I had to completely start over, but with how it looks now, I think I have found how I want it to be for all the future books. It means I should just be able to copy everything I’m doing to the next book’s character creation screen and then just add the last book’s stats.
That’s going to save SO much time in the future!
Starting over also meant I could put in the new body part selection choice for those who want to specify, though there is also the option to pass it. It was a selection suggested by one of my sensitivity readers to help hopefully make intimate scenes much easier to write, as well as much clearer to read for everyone!
That selection will pop up in the actual narrative for those that import characters, so you’ll still have that choice if you want to specify it for your character, but it means for people creating characters they can go into the story already that choice in place for the intimate scenes (if you want the detailed scenes).
Here’s a glimpse at what the character creator screens are looking like now:
So much cleaner and neater, as well as a WHOLE lot quicker! I’m just not sure how it will pop up on phones yet—hoping not too much scrolling!
The character creation is the last thing I need to finish before the demo section can finally go to the editor and first readers. It’s been worth the time to get it finally sorted though, especially as it means it’s also already set for future books, and I don’t have to spend this much time on it again, or melt my brain with figuring out coding, lol! :D
I’m not keen on the ‘Select a’ bit, but that’s how it shows up automatically, so I’m doing my best to work around that.
So yeah, it was so nice to finally get somewhere on this character creator after so many different tries. I really hope it’ll be so, so much quicker and easier for not just you guys to go through but also me and my readers for testing, hehe!

"Do you always listen to gossip?" Mason/Morgan chides.
Farah/Felix grins. "Oh yeah. Always. What else is there to do for fun down in this place?"

Hope you all have the most amazing weekend! I’m going to be working this weekend to get this completely finished so the demo section can go to the editor next week, but will be offline as usual, so I’ll talk to you on Monday! <3

I'm really hoping it will make it more immersive! That's the whole point of Wayhaven hehe!

So happy about the body part selection. The generalization and vagueness really ruins the immersion for me so this is AMAZING 😭

I play on my phone and I don't ever mind scrolling - when it comes to The Wayhaven Chronicles, I am far too invested to ever even notice the scrolling, lol. And the body part option is so exciting! I will say I was a little thrown off when it sort of specified exactly what part of my detective N was, um, paying attention to, LOL, during one of their intimate scenes, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing! Just caught me by surprise after some of M's intimate scenes had been more vague. So getting the option to choose the parts here will be a good thing for a lot of people. Happy to see that it looks like everyone overwhelmingly supports it!
