2022-12-12 12:37:01 +0000 UTC View PostWe're in full swing with the testing!
It's amazing getting comments back from people actually playing the game!!
It's also nice as the fixes coming back to me now are mostly all spelling or grammar issues rather than bug fixes. That's always a good turning point in the testing process!
I did realise as I was going through that I did miss out one variable! It meant I had to go through for all the 'bold/shy' flags and add the separate flags that trigger in the love trian...

Why is it snow can be so wonderfully beautiful but also so aggravatingly hindering?
The carpet of pure white fluffiness blankets the world outside of the SUV, winking and twinkling at us as the moonlight brushes soft silver kisses against it.
“At least the view is beautiful,” Nat comments through a tense smile.
The engine coughs out a splutter sending a plume of disgusting grey smoke to coat the windshield before us.
She sighs.

So it might not have made sense out of context, but I loved it waaaay too much not to share it with someone at least, hehehe! :D

2022-12-05 12:24:01 +0000 UTC View PostEdit, edits, rewrites, and testing! It's been a full week :D
But when I did my first playthrough, I suddenly realised just how much is in Book Three! I was choosing options and realising what scenes I would miss this time around and how much left there will be to see, and that was only doing one love interest!
Like, I was a bit overwhelmed and freaked out about how we're gonna test it all, but I was also so immensely proud of myself. This is exactly the type of game I've alw...

AAAAHHHHH!!! Oh guys...I'm like on the edge of intense nervousness but also intense excitement going through the game! :D I'm actually gonna get to go through it as a full game today for the first time!!!!
2022-12-01 12:03:06 +0000 UTC View PostAs some of you may have seen...THE BASE WRITING FOR BOOK THREE IS COMPLETE!!!
Aahhhh!!!
I'm still intensely buzzed about that if you couldn't tell, hehe! :D
I finished it way earlier than I expected on Wednesday, so I did take Thursday for myself because I was pretty exhausted (slept nearly 11 hours that night, lol!).
And having that rest was good because now comes to the intense part of really knuckling down to get everything done...

A blast of cinnamon, pumpkin, and spices slams into my senses as soon as we walk through the shop’s doors. It’s enough to make me stumble back and wrinkle my nose. It’s not unpleasant, it’s just a lot.
I turn to Nat with a concerned gaze, knowing that if I’m struggling then she might not even manage to make it past the threshold.
Instead, what I find is a vampire with eyes gleaming brightly as she stares over the interior of the homeware store with mouth opening...

Something deeper than I imagined stirs within me in that silent embrace of ours then. I'm not sure what it is…or maybe I'm just not sure I want to know.

2022-11-21 12:11:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo I started this week determined to get Chapter 20 done.
I knew it was gonna be a serious push, but I was pumped to get it finished.
And I did!
The base writing for Chapter 20 is completed already!!
Not only am I over the moon with getting it finished earlier than expected, but I actually managed to add in an extra scene for each LI scene that varies depending on a certain choice made the MC! And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE them!!
Part of my push was also due to intense e...

Leaves in shades of burnt oranges, mustard yellows, and crimson reds fall like droplets of liquid gems from the trees. The air is crisper than the ripest apple and just as sweet.
I hold out my hand to catch one of the leaves, holding it gently as it settles against my palm. It’s so beautiful but so fragile, one gust of strong wind and the whole thing might crumble, its golden veins turning to dust.

2022-11-14 12:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostSo I was trying to tidy up my notes a bit, and found my old notebook from when I was planning things between Book One and Two!
I think the thing that stands out to me most is how few branches there were back then, lol! :D
It's so strange to think about how far the characters and story has come since Book One!
2022-11-12 13:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostBusy, busy week!
Hammering on with Chapter 20! It really is a long one to write because of the split openings (that have some doozy choices to them, or a worrying revelation depending one which branch you're on!), the split love interest scenes and another split scene/variation scene for a big choice, but it's also exciting to think this is the last major chapter to write! (Chapter 21 is a nice, fun short-ish epilogue!)
I also decided to change and add a bit to Chapter 11...

Autumn. It’s crisp, it’s golden, it’s perfect. It’s impossible not to make the most of the days when they’re as bright as this. The ideal day for making memories.
The thought explodes from my mind as a pink-red fruit projectile comes hurtling towards me. I duck out of the way, narrowly avoiding it before it connects with my shoulder.

Flames crackle at the autumn night. Licking and spitting at the chill which keeps them at bay. But the warmth of the campfire still encases us in in its heated embrace.
Though I don’t think even being in the hottest part of it would warm me the way Farah’s body curled up against mine offers.
I relax against her and smile, watching as one rebellious flame manages to reach even higher than the others. “Are you sure this is ok?”

Ava leans over the kitchen table, a map of Wayhaven spread across its surface with pen marks dotted and scratched over the paper like a treasure map.
Unfortunately, it’s not anywhere near as exciting as a treasure map.
The team leader’s face pinches into an annoyed scowl. “Your town’s celebrations are interfering with my mission.”
I glance up from the map to meet her gaze as a smile plays at the corner of my lips. “I’ll make sure to let them know their ...
