The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update 30/April/2021
🕑 Added 2021-04-30 13:36:01 +0000 UTCSo, it was all focus on the final demo this week! And it paid off!
The beta testers were FANTASTIC, and I have to give them yet another massive thank you, because it was quite the task to go through it! I got all their edits in during this week, as well as focusing on playtests myself to check for any final niggles. It's pretty big, so going through it is quite the task to check for big as well as small variations, but it was really encouraging to hear how much the testers appreciated the amount of variations and loved how they played out!
The word count for the final demo is over 310,000 words. Obviously you don't get that all in one playthrough! So I'm hoping that's a lot of content for people to have fun with :D
But the demo is now ready to go! As is the merchandise! It's all been very hectic and full steam ahead, but we managed to push for it to be released close like we wanted!
The final demo will be released on Patreon on Sunday 2nd May.
Merchandise on Redbubble will be available on Tuesday 4th May.
The public release of the final demo will then be out on Thursday 6th May.
Phew! So there we go! An exciting week that will be leading to a very exciting week ahead! :D
I seriously hope you guys enjoy it so much!! Book Three is quite the undertaking, but it's really a culmination of everything I've ever wanted to do in interactive stories! The variations and branches and romance and side character stories...it's just a dream to be able to finally bring this all into play!!

For Update+ this week, I thought I would share a slightly spoilery moment because I loved introducing a new Unit!
--
"Oh please, as if that's what anyone cares about," [Redacted] barks. In contrast with the others, he has a melodic [redcated] accent. "Is it true you've melted Du Mortain's cold unbeating heart?"
I blink as the words process.
Tapeesa wrinkles her nose. "Who is Du Mortain?" She then slides her wide gaze over to me with a horrified pallor to her cheeks. "And why are you melting ${a_him}?"
"Oh, sugarsnap," [Redcated#2] coos, resting a hand on her shoulder and squeezing. "You seriously need to get out in the world more."
Tapeesa brightens. "I would enjoy that."
--
So you won't get this if you're romancing someone else, obviously. Tapeesa will have something to say about all the love interests depending on what [Redacted] says about the LI when asking the question.
You'll also get different comments if you end up getting someone other than Tapeesa in this scene.
You also may not get it if you trigger the completely other variation of this scene either :D But still, I hope you enjoyed it, hehe!
It's a bank holiday here in the UK on Monday, so I'll be back to it on Tuesday! Talk to you all then! <3
