The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 22/July/2022
🕑 Added 2022-07-22 14:26:45 +0000 UTCChapter 15 is finished, and I'm powering through Chapter 16!
It's been quite the motivating week, hehe! :D
Chapter 15 actually took longer than I expected, as I added in some extra scenes. Where as Chapter 14 was the date chapter with the LIs, I wanted 15 to be more of a sort of 'catch-up' chapter with the other characters. I was going to leave out a couple of characters who may pop up later depending on player choices, but decided to have them in there.
So I wrote extra scenes for them, and I'm SO glad I did, as it fit in really perfectly. Kind of sets things up too for later events...
But I did go back and forth on if I wanted it. When I thought I didn't, I deleted the scene I was working on, then one night I was led in bed realising I really did want it, so the next day I had to rewrite about 2000 words worth of stuff I'd already done, lol. Normally I do save scenes I cut, just in case they can be used later, but from some reason I didn't this time. But you live and learn, right?
After 15 was done, I was going to start some editing that I really need to catch up on...but I dove right into Chapter 16 instead! :D I'm glad I did because I'll be able to finish the first section of it today!
Next week, I will have to take a couple of days for editing. Not my favourite thing to do, but definitely a very important task that can't get left behind. But it does mean I get to play through the game again, which always gets me super excited, so I'm looking forward to that already!
Still, I'm hoping even with those days out of writing that I can really push through Chapter 16. It has split scenes, but they're nice and flowing ones. 15 and 16 are the set up scenes for the endings, so there's no branching or anything, which obviously means things progress much quicker with writing them!
Unfortunately, Nai and her family came down with covid this week. They're all okay, just feeling super unwell and having to stay at home. I've made sure to tell her not to do anything but focus on recovering, so there won't be much social media until she's fully well and feeling up to it.

For Update+ this week, a hint at how some major moments don't always have to be brought on by big things...

Who knew that such a small card could cause a wave of fear so intense that it could infect a whole room?
But that's exactly what's happening now as all of us—including my mother—converge around the coffee table, where I placed the black piece of paper.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We'll be offline as usual, so I'll talk to you all next week! <3

I cannot even express how excited I am for DA: Dreadwolf! Like, I'm already so hyped and it's still so long away, lol! :D

It has everyone nervous...though N did notice how expensive a piece of stationary it felt, because, you know, it's N, hehe! :D
Seraphinite Games
Me too! I can really see the end now, and it's getting me even more hyped! :D

I tried to think of it as just rewriting the scene, which helped a little, lol! :D

It really feels like you're in the final strech, thank you for working so hard. I am as equally excited for book 3 as I am for hogwarts legacy and da4 to drop. 😤

Oh no! Send Nai and her family all our love! I hope they all feel better soon!! Also Date Chapter you say 👀👀👀👀 Consider me Hyped. But that black card has me nervous!
OMG I'm so excited for the release of the game!!! Lot of love for Nia and her family, hope they will get well soon 🥰

Deleting stuff and then regretting it is sooo relatable. I'm glad you had it in you to power through rewriting 2000 words, because I know I would've just let the whole thing go probably. Wishing Nai a speedy recovery and the both of you a great weekend! ❤️🌼

I will say what's on the card is written in lovely swirling gold font (this is the moment the colour theme of the Book Three logo makes sense ;D)

DMB coated scissors might be enough for this card, hehe! :D
