The Wayhaven Chronicles - Update+ 28/July/2023
🕑 Added 2023-07-28 13:30:01 +0000 UTCOh, it was a good one this week! It had a little dip but really picked up later!
The dip was just me feeling a majorly overwhelmed at one point. There’s SO much I want to do in the world of Wayhaven, as well as Book Four (Curse of Creek Edge, Book One and Two spruce-up, plenty of other ideas…). But time seems to be against me, and the main series will always be my focus as I write it.
I’ve still not worked out how I’m going to fit it all in, if I can, but I’ve been focused on Book Four’s plans at the moment, and that is just going seriously smoothly! The amount of scenes I’m already bursting with excitement to write is…a lot, hehe!
I was also SUPER happy as I managed to come up with this awesome idea to fill in a gap where I wasn’t sure what to put. I just had ‘Something here’ written in the plan, but as I was typing it up it came to me, and I love what it’s going to be!
Well, actually, what it might be depending on what you pick, hehe! The scene has the same feel to it whichever version as it’s something to help the player start deciding where they want to go on the new Agency stats being introduced, but depending on which characters you choose to be with in that scene should add a very different feel to it and give some very different viewpoints!
One of the other things I’ve been tackling this week is deciding whether to add a certain big thing into Book Four. Vague, I know, but I don’t want to mention it in case I can’t end up doing what I’d like.
It would only be a Book Four thing, so it’s not as if I really have to worry about it exploding into major branching in later books but…I’m still not sure… It would be a very indulgent thing for me, hehe! :D
Think I will see how planning goes, but I’ll talk more about that if I decide to add it or not!
As you might be able to tell, a lot of big and small decisions happen within these early planning stages. But it’s better to make those decisions now rather than try to adjust anything major once I get to writing! That’s definitely the plan for going forward with Book Four this time—a much more intensely detailed plan so as writing will hopefully go smoother and quicker!

For Update+ this week, I did have something fun I wanted to share that isn’t spoilery but just made me smile as I was writing it and thought you guys might like to see.
Got to make sure those not-so-eager-about-magic-or-missions MCs are catered for too, hehe! ;D

Hope you all have the most amazing weekend! We’ll be offline as usual, so I’ll talk to you all again on Monday! <3

A couple of members of UB are exactly like that too, M certainly isn't overly loyal to The Agency but is to Rebecca and A so works with them, but there is definitely a separation between being loyal to friends in UB and what The Agency is asking!
Seraphinite Games
Agreed as well hehe! N certainly has all kinds of effects on the MC... ;D

Thank you so much, it's all projects I'm excited about so it's not burn-out I'm worried about, it's just finding the time hehe! :D

The way book four is coming together has me so excited and motivated! I'm already so eager for you guys to play it :D

Aah, thank you so much, I live and breathe Wayhaven and have no regrets about it! :D

I think Jason would be loyal to UB but not sure of the Agency as well Tonya.

Oh man. I’m SO excited for The Agency stat and how it’s going to work because, personally, I trust UB but not necessarily the Agency. So, I’m wondering just how difficult it will be to make certain choices regarding loyalty since UB is closely associated with the Agency. And, as an Adam/Ava simp but Rebellious/Jail or Police backstory detective, my MC would likely obey any order coming directly from Adam/Ava but be reluctant to do so with the Agency LOL. So, I’m eager to see how the loyalty system will work in that regard—or if I’ll need to make difficult choices involving the Agency just to satisfy UB. Of course, it’s totally ok if UB loyalty and loyalty to the agency are completely separate and never intersect. Whatever works! Still looking forward to it! Really looking forward to it all! But also remember to take breaks from time to time. There’s definitely a lot happening, and you deserve and need the rest. â¤ï¸

Nat seems to have good effects on all things detective/agent oriented! 😄
Jason Bond
As Spock would say, "Fascinating!" Can't wait to see what effect Nat has on the scene with Jason.

Nothing wrong with little self indulgence I think 😉 Just make sure not to burn yourself out! Have a nice relaxing weekend â¤ï¸

Pace yourself 😉 I think I can safely talk on behalf of all your fans, we do not want a burnt out or overwhelmed author. However, as always it is invigorating to see the passion with which you create.
