Monthly Bonus Content #4 — 'That was a little corny...' (Adam Version)

Adam 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 his gaze as a smile plays at the corner of my lips. “I’ll make sure to let them know their...

An Extra Glimpse—Some exciting stuff!

So I've been talking about the marketing things Nai has been doing for Book Three, and I'm SO excited that I managed to convince her to give you a sneak peek before it's ready, hehe! :D

Here is the making of just one of the trailers she's coming up with!! An actual trailer!! Ahhhh!!!!

Here's the link to watch it if the video post doesn't work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k5...

TFW you just gotta bring up Murphy again because of that sweet angst...

[GIF Description: Person very excitedly fist pumping and saying, 'I can't help myself']

It's only a small line that most people might not even get, but it just really gives a nice emotional, angsty moment between characters for a moment, so I just couldn't resist adding it in! :D

That Bit Extra—Is that jealousy I see...?

"Maybe your tastes have changed," Bobby suggests, the smile dropping as he/she scoffs out a breath. "Though I guess we all know that's true from your current company."

--

If Friendly or Genuine

"You're not exactly in a position to be jealous, Bobby," I reply with a sigh.

Otherwise

"Seriously? You're going to act jealous?" I shake my head with an incredulous laugh.

"Why not?" he/she asks, turning to me. "You think i...

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 21/Oct/2022

So, Chapter 19 was finished...

Now anyone who knows me or has been following me for a while will instantly know what I'm going to say next, hehe! ;D

Yes, I am now adding more to it! 

Writing for Chapter 19 was done-I was super excited because I was a day ahead, but as I was going through it and making sure I hadn't missed anything off the plan, etc, I came to this one section and I just realised that—as a player—there was another option at this point as wel...

Monthly Bonus Content #3—'Through Fog and Smoke...' (Morgan Version)

Wayhaven’s lighthouse stands sentinel at the edge of town. It shines its beam across the midnight depths of the lake before turning its eye on the town with a softer watch. Nothing stirs that night except the usual patrol that also keeps guard over the town.

The lighthouse seems to slow, allowing the team of two more light for a moment to maze their way through the thicket of trees at the edge of town.

“I didn’t think lighthouses turned their light on the actual houses. Don�...

TFW you're writing an intense climactic scene, but a pun would fit in the middle of it so perfectly...

[GIF Description: Person hesitating before saying 'I probably shouldn't']

I didn't but oh, ohhhh...it was seriously tempting, hehe! :D

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 14/Oct/2022

So I got back from my break this week, and I had a wonderful time seeing my friend! We talked about Wayhaven A LOT, so I had to be super careful not to let spoilers slip, hehe! :D

But I was seriously craving writing by the time I got back on Wednesday! 

Had to jump back in with social media days first though, which was a good way of getting myself back into the groove. Writing the Patreon Spooky Specials helped curb some of my built up writing needs, lol!

Monthly Bonus Content #2— Skeletons in the Closet... (Nat Version)

Hollow’s Peak feels far from hollow tonight. With a full moon beaming an eerie corn-coloured light down on the clearing, it adds a naturally terrifying ambience to the decorations strewn about the trees and glade.

Plastic skeletons hang limply from trees, their rubber hands swinging in the breeze as though ushering guests further along the temporary gravel path that winds through the grass. Faux-spider webs add a hazy gauze to the surrounding area, backlit by the glow of purple and gr...

I really, really enjoyed writing this particular line, hehe! Can't wait to which of you guys get it :D

Book Two Save System NOW UP and Update +

Hello! It's Naomi here, posting on behalf of Mishka whilst she's off as she wanted to make sure you were all aware that the Book Two save system is now up and ready for you to utilise for your many play throughs!

Monthly Bonus Content #1—'On a Moonlit Night…' (Felix Special)

The chill not only coats my clothes in a damp layer of cold but seems to penetrate all the way down into my bones. I tug my knees into my chest as my teeth clack together, hoping wiggling my toes in my boots will be enough to stop them getting frostbite.

“Why is it I always get sent out here to do this stuff when they others get to stay tucked up in the warm room at the Warehouse doing research?” I huff.

Felix smiles over at me. “At least you’re not alone.” His slow spre...

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 30/Sept/2022

Chapter 19 was certainly off to an interesting start...hehehe! :D

So I was hammering through the openings, really pleased as there wasn't too much split at the beginning before it all came together. Then I was sitting with Nai one lunchtime, staring at the table as I was thinking over what I wrote, and was like, 'I'm gonna have to rewrite what I've done for Chapter 12'. 

Cue Nai looking at me like:

Monthly Bonus Content #2—Ava Version

Being the end of October, it’s far too late for the Harvest moon. Yet there’s a rich golden hue to the bright moon this night that I wonder if it held out just for the people celebrating Halloween. It certainly adds an eerie ambience as the shadow of the trees sway in front of it like shadows of ghosts set free for the night.

I try to press that spooky thought to the back of my mind, especially considering I have to actually go outside tonight and be amongst those potential ghosts.<...

That Bit Extra— When you took a sneak peek at those files... (SPOILERY!)

THIS COULD BE VERY SPOILERY ABOUT THE REACTIONS OF THE LI'S TO THE SNEAK PEEK THING (not totally, because this isn't their 'main' reaction to it, and more their reaction when they've known about it a while), SO DON'T READ AHEAD IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING BOOK THREE THAT COULD SPOIL THINGS!

TFW you thought you accidently deleted a load of your work but find you've pasted it into another file...

[GIF Description: Person looking like they're having a heart attack]

I'm not sure I've ever felt so panicked, lol! Took at least ten minutes to calm myself down after that scare :D But the scene is all safe and sound, I'd just had to pull it out to add another scene in before it and didn't want to get the two confused as I wrote!

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 23/Sept/2022

Chapter 18 is done!! Oh yeah! 

Though saying that, I think there is actually a bit I want to add to it in rewriting, hehe! :D But I won't be doing that until I come to edit it, and my focus was on editing earlier chapters after I finished Chapter 18 this week (even though I may also have gotten a little more done towards the opening for Chapter 19 too...)

Along with feeling a major sense of achievement at that and realising just how close I am to the end(!!), I also figured o...

Unseen Scene—Book Three, Chapter Six (Mason PoV)

Adrenaline pumps through Mason. It burns through his veins with as much force as his fury. His hands are clenched at his sides, wanting to force his way through the barrier before them but knowing it’s no use.

Being denied his target when he’s so close is almost agony.

At least, that’s what Mason thought was agony until the Anunnaki says his next words.

“Your attempts to save the human are admirable, but they are pointless.”

Mason stiffens at the sudden reali...

An Extra Glimpse—To drink or not to drink....

So working on those major additions to Chapter 11 has meant I've pulled these stats back out...

This is for the 'Neither Know' branch of Chapter 11, and each LI has their own ending variations whether you're drunk or not...and I had SUCH intense fun writing those scenes—both versions, including times where you're just a bit tipsy, hehe! :D

TFW your MC messes up their distraction attempt in a rather spectacular way...

[GIF Description: Guy looking at disaster scene saying, 'My bad'.]

I do love writing the triumphant (often slightly smug) moments the MC can have when they pass a check for a choice, but oh my word do I have some fun with the 'fail' versions too, hehehe! :D

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 16/Sept/2022

A very straight forward week this week, which is always nice!

Chapter 18B is coming along very nicely! I may have had waaay too much fun with one particular choice set, which I won't spoil (a first for me, lol!), but I can't wait for you guys to reach it :D

Though I did have one eye-opening coding realisation this week. It's a super simple thing, and I have no idea why I hadn't thought of it already, but it's going make one variation a whole lot easier and quicker to writ...

Monthly Bonus Content #1—Training Room Layout

Once again, Nai has taken my scratchy sketch and made it into something beautiful! :D No joke, this is what it looked like before...

You guys seemed to enjoy the layout so much last time, I thought I'd share another. The training room/gym is a room that I actually have a very firm and definite idea on ...

TFW the MC takes the antagonist's elaborately prepared scene in stride, so the antagonist is just like...

Annoyed? Angry? Disappointed? Yeah, the antagonist is feeling all of those in this moment...hehehe! :D

It's getting soooo much harder now not to spoil things, even with these small posts, lol! 

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 09/Sept/2022

Short one this week as I'm super in the zone on the majorly emotional scene I'm working on!

Chapter 18A is coming excitingly well! I've added in a couple of extra choice sets, but they were definitely worth it as I want more opportunity for the MC to make their opinion known in that scene. Especially as it's such a seriously dramatically intense moment!

Social media days went super smoothly too this week! Had a lot of Mason/Morgan asks this month, so they were fun to answer :D

October Scenario Specials—Change of Plans!

So...change of plans on the October Scenarios Specials as you can tell by the title! :D

There was still quite a lot of people wanting the cosy autumn theme, and I thought, why not do both?

So, in October I will be doing the spooky themed scenarios, and in November I will be doing the cosy autumnal ones (then obviously the Christmas/Winter scenarios in December, so quite the end to the year, hehe)!

Obviously it's quite a bit more work, but I really want to sh...
