The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 10/July/2020
Added 2020-07-10 12:59:01 +0000 UTCI'm still on fire from my break, apparently :D
Got through editing Chapter One on Moday and Tuesday! Playing it as a whole chapter seriously spurred me on. It's been quite broken up as I've been writing as there was SO much variation and split scenes that I was worried it wouldn't flow. But playing it through, I am beyond happy with how it's come out!!
I also managed to catch a few annoying bugs, mostly to do with the love triangle friend subroutine (now fixed) and the way I had done some stuff with the pre-made characters (also now fixed!).
I'm going to get it up together properly today or over the weekend and then send it off to the wonderful spunkycatninja to be properly edited (as well as get her comments, which is the highlight of the process, hehe :D I'll ask if I can share some of them after she sends them through!).
But I also got started on Chapter Two. Well, not only started but powering through it! It's much lighter then Chapter One, but even so I have managed to get nearly all of the first scene done, which included three different split scenes in it, each with their own large choice set!
Creek Edge is still on hold for the moment, but won't be for long. I'm currently in the middle of sorting out my office space. It had got so cramped with folders and notes that I was struggling to keep on top of the space for working! So it was time for an overhaul :D It's in my bedroom, so there's not much space to work with, but a new desk and some more storage will make the world of difference!
Once that's finished, I will have my graphics tablet set up all the time instead of having to get it out of the box, plug it all up, and set it up every time I want to work on it. So working on it will be much, much easier after that is done.
Also when I get back on my graphics tablet properly, I can finally get on with some exciting stuff for you guys on Patreon...
So, a seriously good week this week, and hopefully a really productive one next week too!
--
For Update+ this week, I thought I'd share a bit of dialogue from a returning character.
-
"I quite enjoyed the ignorance," he replies without humour. "I'm not afraid of the dark, Detective. It hides the things we fear the most."
-
Things might be a bit tense for some Detectives...
Hope you all have an amazing weekend, and I'll talk to you on Monday! <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 on Monday!)
Comments
Verda and Tina's reactions were great fun to write! It's so awesome to be able to write these different variations based on the how those individual characters would react instead of just having to pick one of them! :D

2020-07-13 09:56:00 +0000 UTCCertainly not mad at the MC, though maybe not so happy about the whole situation...

2020-07-13 09:55:37 +0000 UTCOohh, I'm with everyone else in assuming that sneak peek comes from Verda. He's the one my MC told the secret to, so I'm already craving the angst and tension. :D Love that he and Tina already had very different reactions based on their personalities and life (obvs the man with kids and a husband would factor that into how he feels). But I'm excited and happy to hear that the writing process has been going smoothly for you :D

2020-07-10 16:08:43 +0000 UTCSounds like you're on fire! Just make sure to take some time to relax when you can! And Ohhh... Yeah, I'll willing to bet thats Verda and! I mean! He can't be THAT mad at us, he was the one poking into it we just... didn't stop him.

2020-07-10 15:34:37 +0000 UTCHmmMMMMmmm. I'm not ENTIRELY sure I like that either... (This is a lie. I am very excited! But also, I love Verda with all of my heart and I would kill everyone in this room and then myself if anything happens to him and his delightful family.)
2020-07-10 15:26:21 +0000 UTCWell, he was pretty upset before he left...

2020-07-10 15:07:31 +0000 UTCI am, yes!! I can't believe there's something like that happening about Wayhaven :D
Seraphinite Games
2020-07-10 15:07:24 +0000 UTCDepends on future choices you might make concerning it too...
Seraphinite Games
2020-07-10 15:06:59 +0000 UTCI think that's a very good guess to make ;D
Seraphinite Games
2020-07-10 15:06:42 +0000 UTCHehehehe ;D
Seraphinite Games
2020-07-10 15:06:28 +0000 UTCHe was pretty uncertain about the whole thing...
Seraphinite Games
2020-07-10 15:06:22 +0000 UTCThat's so kind! Thank you so much <3

2020-07-10 15:06:06 +0000 UTCHaha why do I get the feeling that Verda is saying thag

2020-07-10 14:29:01 +0000 UTCOh man, it's Friday already. Are you excited for upcoming Wayhaven Week on tumblr? ;)

2020-07-10 13:48:25 +0000 UTC....that snippet definitely makes me think of Verda if you let him find out about the supernatural. Oh dear, I am going to regret my choices, aren't I?
2020-07-10 13:38:26 +0000 UTCOh boy... That returning character is Verda isn't it? I feel like he would be rather upset about learning about the supernatural since he came to Wayhaven to keep his family as safe from danger as he could.

2020-07-10 13:21:58 +0000 UTCI dont know, sounds like Verda, since he go away when you choose him to know the secret! D:
