The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 12/March/2021
🕑 Added 2021-03-12 14:00:00 +0000 UTCSuper busy but amazing week this week!
So I finally caught up on Chapter 5 edits instead of just indulging in writing, hehe :D
Spunkycat's comments during the edits kept me so pumped, and now I'm even more excited for you guys to try out Chapter 5 in the demo!! There's a lot of variation that I hope people will love and enjoy exploring through different replays!
I will send her Chapter 6 next week (want to make sure she has a nice break over the weekend after the intensity of chap 5!), and then we'll really be bumping along towards the demo release.
But even with the edits, and playing through to check they all work, I continued writing Chapter 7! I'm loving it :D Even if I did put in separate variations and choices where I wasn't supposed to, lol. It seriously suits the scene though (this is what I mean when I say about letting the writing happen organically, even when I have a plan), it actually also lends itself to the next branch for Book Three so much better than I actually had planned! It just means the simple opening scene turned a bit more complicated...so worth it though!
I don't know how to explain it but I feel in such a major zone with Wayhaven at the moment! It's why I just wanna write, write, write! It seems to be flowing so smoothly and things are coming to me as I write that I know I have to put in but that I wouldn't have thought of before!
It's also been fun to start bringing in and explaining a bit about the lore that's gonna feature for Book Three. Been waiting a loooong time to write Birdman, so it's really nice to get to go into more detail on him.

For Update+ this week, I thought I'd share two snippets, as I couldn't decide which one I liked best (plus they're both from the 'fail' version of the opening scene, so I'm not sure if many people will actually see them in game, hehe :D)!

Sneak peek #1:
#Sigh. "Wonderful. So now I'm facing the condescending birdman alone?"
--
Sneak peek #2:
I groan and lean my head back from the sheer strength of my eye roll. "If I have to convince one more person that I'm fine, then I'm leaving."
*if (romance = "mason")
"Good," ${mason} spouts, drawing a frown from me. "Maybe if you leave, you'll finally go see the medics like you should have when we first got here."
I throw ${m_him} a withered stare.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and I'll talk to you all soon! <3

Seraphinite Games
I'm loving bringing out the M soft side more, hehe :D
Seraphinite Games
Aah, thank you so much much! Wayhaven is my everything, and I am more than happy to pour my all into it <3
Seraphinite Games
Aah, I'm so happy to hear this! I know exactly how you feel, which is why I've made Wayhaven as it is! I really want people to just be able to play and get into the story, rather than pulled out because of stats :)

The detective's grumpy Sunshine grumpily fussing over them is my favorite thing 🥺 Meanwhile F is inwardly fist pumping and N is doing that mountain_man_smiles_and_nods.gif

I love the M sneak peek. Thank you for all your hard work. I did not start reading Wayhaven until the second book was released. Playing the Book 3 demo so many time has really shown me how much work you put into this series. I appreciate your attention to detail and how each playthough gives me a unique experience.

The way u do stat checks is one of my favorite ways. Alot of other choice games make it kinda vague what stat belongs to what choice and it becomes frustrating when i pick something that seems to be one stat only to have the scene play out completely differently than the choice implied. I really appreciate that i dont have to take myself out of the immersion to try and figure out which choice fits my stats.
Seraphinite Games
LOL!! Now I'm trying to imagine how he'd react to that :D
Seraphinite Games
Aah, thank you so much! It's always nice when things flow so amazingly well :D

Great to hear that writing is going well. Also, Birdman is the canon reference now? I totally want my stubborn and genuine detective to call him pigeon boy as an insult.
Amber Foster
It’s so awesome that everything is going smoothly for you!!! That’s so exciting! I’m so pumped for you!!!
Seraphinite Games
There's so much in Book Three I've been waiting a long time to write, and 'eager' doesn't cover how much I want to get to it all, hehe! :D
Mewsly
Book 3 really wants to get out of your brain and into being so bad! :D I can't wait to be able to read it myself! Also, awww, M be careful, your caring is showing
Seraphinite Games
She definitely deserves a massive cheer after the intensity of chapter 5!! <3
Seraphinite Games
Always good fun to see how new antagonist can make you hurt real good, hehe :D
Seraphinite Games
Wow...he sounds kinda arrogant when put that way, which is not wrong, but still...lol!! :D

yaaay, spunkyninjacat! exciting week. i love that we've got you calling him Birdman afgkljg he has such range 😌💞 also m killed me with that snippet thanks

Can’t wait to get beat up by a bird man

Aw, M is already so protective. Btw, I’m positive birdman is some kind of supernatural angel. He thinks everyone is babies because he’s a millennia old and nothing can touch him because he can only be killed in a specific way. I’m right and I should say it.
