The Wayhaven Chronicles—22/Jan/2021

Another great week where I'm going to praise the new routine yet again! :D

I don't know how I managed without it before! I'm getting so much more done. I'm still trying to catch up to where I want to be, but that actually seems do-able now that I'm really able to focus more on the writing/creative side of things.

And Nai is doing an AMAZING job at taking over so much social media for me. She has ideas and posts for it I could never even think of! Plus she's loving get involved with the community!

I'm wondering about adding a scene to Chapter 5, but Chapter 5 has been a bit never-ending, so I'm not sure if I want to. But now I've thought about it, it won't leave my head! Might finish Chapter 6 first and see how I feel then.

But I do still need to get that editing and playtesting done for Chapter 5, so I will be focusing on that next week.

I'm planning to get Chapter 5 over to SpunkyCat in February so as she can start edits, but mostly because I really want her reactions to the stuff in that chapter...It's always my favourite part of sending over the chapters to her :D

Me and Nai also recorded our first Q&A video for YouTube this week, ready to go out next week. Oh guys, it was AWESOME! It was so nice to have time to really go more in depth to the asks instead of keeping to a time limit. We did get rather excited talking about Wayhaven though, so we talk pretty fast at some points. Just hope you guys will be able to understand it, hehe!

But yeah, Chapter 6 opening is coming along. It's a pretty intense chapter due to immense amount of variations again, as Chapter 5 was. But it brings into play some skills as well as setting up some very important stuff for the rest of the story. Also it brings in some important moments for a couple of the romances, especially N's.

Like, Chapter 5 was more about personal stuff, and Chapter 6 is more focused on the action. But both obviously still heavily swing towards on romance and characters, just different themes for it.

It's gonna be a good ending for the last part of the demo though...hehehehe ;D

Curse of Creek Edge is getting back on its feet too. I’m trying to get back into drawing the love interests so as I’m more prepped for their sprites when I come to do them.

For Update+ this week, it was a fun moment after the team make proper introduction with Bobby...

$!{mason} snorts. "What an absolute fu—"

"Fundamental person to the newspaper ${bob_she} works for," ${nate} finishes in a flurry before ${mason} can. 

${mason} glares at ${n_him} as ${felix} chortles. 

"Oh, that was a quick one. Nicely done, ${natey}," the youngest vampire praises with a grin.

This is a very specific scene, as there's a ton of variations to this Bobby 'proper' introduction, especially if you thought that Bobby kiss was forgotten....

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