The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update 18/Sept/2020 (Patreon)

Busy one this week where I got more done than anticipated.

I finished my edits and playthroughs for chapter 3, which did take longer than expected. I forget just how many variables are going into these chapters now and I want to try and test for them all, so the testing/editing stage after each chapter will start to take longer.

To give you an idea, this is what a couple of pages from my checklist looks like:

I actually had 6 of these pages, lol.

Some of these are only small variations, but I think it really is adding so much depth to the scenes now and hopefully making your MC act more like your MC should, even outside of choice sets.

Chapter 3 is now with the amazing @spunkycatninja, who already sent me back her initial thoughts on the chapter, and I am SO encouraged by the excited responses she had!

After chapter 3, the word count is totalling: 133,419. A larger total than I was anticipating...

And then I started on chapter 4, which I've got further along on than I expected I'd manage this week.

I've just done the LT route starter (I've finished all the other romance openers) and...oof, guys, it stings, especially on one choice...

For Curse of Creek Edge I finally finished the last needed background for the demo.

For Update+ this week, I thought I'd share the pain of the LT route with this snippet:

My gut tightens with guilt, the sensation so intense that I can't even look to ${adam} as we head out of the room.

$!{nate} doesn't say goodbye.

There are other versions of this scene (some just as painful, and one that's actually...not too tugging on the heart strings).

Hope you all have a lovely weekend, and I'll talk to you next week! <3

(I'm still waiting for A LOT of replies about rewards. So if you're still waiting, then you may have an email, possibly in your junk folder, from me about it. If not, then please do get in contact and I'll sort that ASAP! It's never too late to get in touch!

I won't be around on the weekend, as I take a break from internet, but I'll send out rewards/messages ASAP!)
