Results are in, and you guys chose a route-based game going forwards!
Always an interesting type of game to create, and it’s been quite some time since I’ve planned out a route-based story, so it should be fun to dabble in it with this one.
So now we’re starting to get a seriously solid base to our story: 2023-10-24 14:15:20 +0000 UTC View Post
So the plan for the beginning of this week was to get back to working on all the preparation coding that comes before the game even starts…but the writing was calling to me! A siren song I just couldn’t resist, hehe :D
But I did behave and got back to the coding mid-week after working on more of the opening, as it s...

At this point in my life, I'm not sure how many times I've come to consciousness with my body wracked by intense pain.
But I'm pretty sure it's way more than most normal people have had to suffer through.
As my limbs begin to tingle with f...

We've got a fun new twist to our beloved community asks! Brace yourselves for the first-ever "ask of the month"!

We're dying to know!
It's World Boss Day, so let's take a moment to collate all of the bosses in the World of Wayhaven.
- Rebecca
- Captain Sung
- Mayor Friedman
- Commanding Agent Du Mortain
- Lesedi Koela
- Alima Malki

Who would you most like as your Boss?
Honestly, it's like some kind of addiction or euphoria for me to get back to writing this series, hehe!
Especially with Book Four just flowing so easy...at least so far! :D
Though I really do have to get back to that codi...
2023-10-16 11:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostI finally got to write the opening I’ve been waiting soooo long to write! And I LOVE IT! I’m more of a writer that likes to get right into the action at the start, and this certainly accomplishes that!
It’s actually a kind of opening I haven’t used yet in Wayhaven, so that made it doubl...

Spreading out from the cemetery is Hollow’s Peak, its neighbouring graveyard already giving it a rather eerie feel even before you step into the moody shadows that brood down from the guard of trees that surround this clearing.
But even with its spooky atmosphere, the large open space so near town makes for the perfec...

“Three bags of caramel popcorn, please,” Maaka asks with a large grin before looking at me.

But it is on the way, just a bit late - thanks for waiting.

Mishka just dropped this absolute corker about the Book 4 villain! 😱 with Mishka starting the writing for Book 4, I’m hoping there’ll be more sneaky peeks to help you ride out the wait. In the meantime, how excited are you for Book 4?

The kitchen is a cloud of steam, blowing hot air across my skin and misting it up. But that air is tinged with the scent of cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin, so I inhale deep and smile as the aroma settles through me.
“Haley?” I call into the bakery’s kitchen. Flour-stained machines dot the wooden countertops, the mid...
