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

Aaaaahhhhh Mishka, your enthusiasm is just so contagious! The energy you put into these updates only makes my excitement for Book Three grow! Please take care, and I hope you have the best weekend! &lt;3

Well I mean first it starts with late fees... Isn't murder the next logical step? 🤔 Happy to hear the books is going in a direction you're excited about. Looking forward to reading the finished product over and over and over again. 😍

Chapter 10 already, whoa! You're sprinting through that book, Sera! I'm obviously very excited for the release but your creative process is so fascinating it's a journey on its own. Thank you for another update!

I don’t know how you do, but the work, variations, and love you put into your writing is so palpable! You’re amazing!!! We love you!!!

Maybe they need to look into the librarian. She seems like she has bodies in her basement.

Is A moonlighting as a librarian?

Having alternative 'fail' choices which feel rewarding in their own way and are not simply a fail screen, is something I really appreciate. Not many games do this and when they do, they are often too penalising (though some degree of penalisation is, of course, necessary :p). As always, I hope you are doing well and thanks for sharing your insights on the writing process!

I know you probably have plenty of patreon story ideas and get ideas from others alot but you seemed sorta surprised when people wanted the sick MC stories and that was something I wanted for a while. So, if you like the idea id love to see it but obviously if u don’t then don’t. I’ve never been skiing but I’ve seen in shows and movies that resorts and stuff have shacks with supplies along the mountain that people can take refuge in in case of a storm, avalanche, or just getting lost. Id love to see how the LI’s react to getting stuck in one of those with the MC. Rushing to hide in there, soaking wet, wooden stove. Of course humans are very susceptible to frostbite and the safest and fastest way to combat it is body heat… not to mention who knows how long until rescue comes

Do the social media days feel overwhelming ever? It seems like you get sooooo many asks and mentions-I wouldn't know how to navigate that

There's been some great fun scenes in Chap9! I'm seriously hoping people will enjoy exploring them :D

Hehehe! I'm struggling more and more with not spoiling anything, 'cause I just want you guys to be able to enjoy it with me!! :D

Aah, thank you so much! What a lovely thing to say! One of the things I love most about writing and creating is that you're always learning and adapting! You never plateau, which makes it such an amazing journey! :D

I'm so glad you feel this way! It's exactly why I want Wayhaven to have rewarding paths, no matter which way you end up going. I'm really not a fan of games which punish you for not stat-checking or point-watching every other scene, lol! :D Obviously it works for some games, because they're supposed to be like that and work brilliantly. But definitely not where I want Wayhaven to go.

Oh, I do love the trope of a couple getting trapped together...hehehe! Thank you so much for the suggestion! &lt;3

F always makes my heart happy, but this particular time just really warmed me all the way through! :D

They used to, but we have a MUCH better schedule for it now (having Nai on reblogs and Instagram has helped a bunch). The new routine was actually suggested by the counsellor who did our bias training. Instead of doing bits every day where you can't really focus because you're trying to fit it all in so fast, actually dedicate proper time to it. Quality over quantity! And it's so much better now! It's nice having proper time put aside instead of rushing through it!
