The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 05/Nov/2021

What a week!! Chapter Nine has been SO MUCH FUN!!

And even better, I should be able to finish one of the endings by tomorrow, which means I should finish Chapter 9 early next week!!! Aaahhh!!

But seriously, Chapter 9 has been a blast to write! :D There are 'fail' and 'pass' versions (the stats to pass them something a bit different than just the usual), but the fail ones are just as fun as the pass ones, so I really hope people will enjoy them! 

Again, as I've said so many times, it's not really a fail. It's just a different path. It's just this time you may not be as successful in your plan as you'd hoped, but that might lead to some unexpected consequences that may not be as bad as you think.

I really like to create balance in the games I write! So please don't think you always have to be choosing the exact choices that relate to your stats and things. Always just choose what works for your MC in the moment!

So yeah, tomorrow I'm seriously hoping to blast through one of the endings, which means there is only one ending version left. 

I will do my best to go straight into editing and playtesting after that, as it's a very important part of the process...but I may sneak in some Chapter 10 too ;D

And it shouldn't come as a surprise by now, but Chapter 10 has two versions of it as well, lol! 

I really have been so excited for all these versions and branches though! Book Three really feels like where things are starting—not just for the story, but for me. I want to make games that are super involved and immersive with all these details and bigger side stories for people to explore!

Okay, I'll stop getting all buzzed now :D I'm just really excited about Chapter 9, and how it's fitting in, hehe!

I'm actually really surprised I got along so far because Monday and Tuesday were social media days. Had amazing fun writing the scenarios for Patreon (F taking care of a sick MC made me so warm and fuzzy inside!), as well answering the asks on Tumblr for the month ahead!
I've actually put some asks aside in the hopes me and Nai can find some time on an evening to make, even a short, Youtube Q&A. I've missed those! But it's difficult finding time with Nai and her Little One, and I often work on Wayhaven or Creek Edge on an evening. But I'm hoping we can find time to just relax and have fun with a vid again soon!

For Update+ this week, one of the fun moments I got to write for one of the choices in the second version of Chapter 9...

-

"What genre do you read?" Tina asks.

"Crime mostly," Edna answers with a shrug of her thin shoulders. 

"So you can work out how to commit it?" the librarian snorts.

I roll my eyes and shake my head. "Calm down. She just has some late fees. She hasn't murdered anyone."

The librarian folds her arms. "Not yet."

Edna's wrinkles etch even further over her weathered features as she glowers at the woman.

Hope you all have the most fantastic weekend! We'll be offline as usual, so I'll talk to you all soon! <3
