The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 25/Nov/2022
🕑 Added 2022-11-25 14:16:00 +0000 UTCAs some of you may have seen...THE BASE WRITING FOR BOOK THREE IS COMPLETE!!!
Aahhhh!!!
I'm still intensely buzzed about that if you couldn't tell, hehe! :D
I finished it way earlier than I expected on Wednesday, so I did take Thursday for myself because I was pretty exhausted (slept nearly 11 hours that night, lol!).
And having that rest was good because now comes to the intense part of really knuckling down to get everything done before submission!
I'll be starting with adding in some edits I already know need to go in, then doing the quick testing bugs. After I've done all that, I will be reading through the entire script (don't get to play it quite yet)—including coding—to pick up any errors in there as well as rewriting and adding any extra bits as I go. So that's a lot of reading considering it's well over 900,000 words!
There was one line I already edited in for one of N’s scenes that gave me serious chills! N is only comfortable enough with one other vampire to make the admission they do in that particular BFF scene, so it should be interesting to see who finds that…
Then is the fun and intense part of playtesting...over and over and over and over... :D
But I'm already seriously eager to get that first full playthrough in of the whole game as a complete story!!
As I go, I will be sending off chapters to the sensitivity readers and getting it up together for more editing. Then it'll move onto the beta testers!
Also, the poll for the Winter/Christmas Patreon Scenarios finished yesterday so I can reveal the results of the top 4 that I will be writing in December:
Ice skating
Stuck in the snow (with a whopping 40% of the votes)
Winter stargazing
Gingerbread House Decorating Competition
-
I'm not sure which love interest will be getting what scenario yet, but I do know for sure that Adam/Ava will be getting the Gingerbread Decorating Competition because there's no way I can resist having fun with their competitive streak for that, hehe! :D
So yeah, it's a busy time ahead!
It's really crunch time now, guys!!

For Update+ this week, a fun moment where Tina’s cooking is not quite up to N’s refined palette…
Nate/Nat slides one hand back out to take a small pastry and pop it into his/her mouth.
"Good?" I ask.
His/Her nose wrinkles. "It's…interesting."

Hope you all have an amazing weekend! We'll be offline as usual, so I'll talk to you all soon <3
...I'm getting SO EXCITED!!!

Holy crap! I'm going to need the lifespan of an actual vampire to cover everything in book 3!
Seraphinite Games
Oh, it's such a major tick off my checklist to have the writing done, for sure! :D
Seraphinite Games
There's A LOT more branching and variations in this book for sure. Hope everyone has fun discovering them! :D
Mewsly
Congratulations again!! Even though there is a lot of work still to do I’m sure just having that much done is nice! And I’m not surprised you needed so much sleep after all that!! 🤣 Have a good Weekend!

900,000 words I’m pretty sure that’s double the length of the first book lmao. Just makes me more eager to read it though 👀
Seraphinite Games
I'll try and get a wordcount for the average playthrough once I've edited some, but yeah, there is a lot of variation to discover in this one, hehe! :D
Jason Bond
Understandable LOL
Jacob Dominguez
Wow 900,000 words?! With your awesome writing I could probably read them all in 15 minutes. Not really but it'll feel over too soon!
Seraphinite Games
In one scene, she definitely does cater. In this other one, she didn't think many people would be eating... :D Wow, I just realised how food-orientated my writing is...think that says a lot about where my thoughts lay, LOL! 🤣
Jason Bond
I am also in the same camp as Mar. Should be interesting if we are correct. And I chose the "I've tasted your cooking" response so I understand N's reaction. But I thought Tina would cater it instead LOL
Seraphinite Games
It seems a likely assumption that N is most comfortable around A at this point in their very looooong friendship! :D
Dakota
I know I will!
Seraphinite Games
It was just a combination for A I couldn't resist, hehe! :D
Seraphinite Games
I really hope you enjoy it! :D
Seraphinite Games
I'm surprised it's not radiating out through the internet with how pumped I am, hehe! :D
Mar
Congratulations! So excited and proud of you! Assuming N is comfortable around A which validates my choice of bff for my detective hehe Oh N … how awful can that pastry be?
Jaime Ford
Omg. This is so exciting! Congrats on being done with the main writing! The thought of A doing the gingerbread decorating is cracking me up. I just can't shake the feeling they're gonna break something again.
Dakota
Can't wait to read all of your hard work
AC
Your excitement is contagious! Congrats and hope the next step goes smoothly
