The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 05/Feb/2021 (Patreon)

Was a long week this week, but I got a lot of accomplished so it makes it worth it!

Finished off the final test playthroughs for Chapter 5, which I did during the evenings this week so it didn't eat into writing time. Though on one of them, I accidently clicked the wrong Detective for the LI, and it was really weird playing through with the wrong LI for him :D I usually use Kingsley to test out a stoic MC x Ava, but I ended up with Farah, and it was strange playing this A-romancer with bubbly Farah, hehe! It brought up some different paths though, which is what playtesting is all about!

But it's finally gone! Chapter 5 is finally out of my hands and has been sent to SpunkyCat for editing.

I then focused on N's scene for Chapter 6 after finishing the opening section, which has been a blast (as some of you may have already seen from my gif post earlier this week :D). It's a very different scene for N and the romance, and I've been waiting a very long time to get some angst into this romance, hehe!

Not that it has to be angst, it all depends on how your MC reacts, or even if your MC reacts one way and then changes their mind in the choice set that comes after.

But guys, I was loving it, I was actually vibrating I was SO into it!

There's actually more I have to write to it, but there's a big choice set to do first (each of the romances have their own scene and big choice set on how to deal with what's happening, but those differ obviously as each LI will deal with stuff differently, leading to different choices for the MC to pick from), after that though is the fall out of what your MC did and how N feels about what they did!

So...that was pretty vague :D I seriously don't want to spoil anything (even though I've spoiled the fact that the angsty moment is coming up...), but I can't wait to see how all you N-mancers react when it's released in the final demo!

I also wrote the Valentine's scenarios for Patreon and scheduled those up. And 'cause I totally forgot to list them with the dates like I normally do, and people were asking if I could, here's the list of the upcoming Valentine's Patreon Scenario Specials!

February 4th (Already released) - 'Awash in Roses...' (Mason/Morgan)

February 11th - 'Not the one they want...' (Adam/Ava)

February 18th - 'Hand drawn Heart...' (Felix/Farah)

February 25th - 'A Little Pick Me Up...' (Nate/Nat)

For Update+ this week, I thought I would give a little snippet of the MC's thoughts on Adam/Ava's...underwhelming pep talks :D

-

$!{adam} finally gives a nod. "All right. Watch your backs, watch your flanks, and don't die."

*if ((sarcastic >= 75)or(charming >= 75))

          "Quite the pep talk," I mumble through a breath.

          *goto chap6_apep

*elseif ((friendly <= 35)or(charming <= 35))

          "You don't have a better plan than that?" I counter with a frown.

         *goto chap6_apep

*else

          "That's not as much of a plan as I was hoping for," I mumble through a breath.

          *goto chap6_apep

This isn't what they'll say on their romance...there's a lot more emotion going on in their romance scene!

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