Progress Report 2021-03-08

Hi friends,

The first week of March has been extremely busy on the game development front! I am pushing through new Chapter 1 content. I have completed just over one third of the Viridian Lady sequence and also drafted the Route B version of...

Rona (Setting Worldbuilding)

From the very beginning, I always envisioned the game starting in a “tutorial” area that was separate from the main setting. There were a few reasons for this:

1) I wanted a contained area for the player to explore where I could test my ...

Hi friends,

Happy March!

This past week has been a little strange—a lot of ups, a lot of downs. Not going to spend a lot of time on the downs. I spent a lot of time questioning the game’s UI design and came pretty close to scrappin...

The Hexade (Magic System WIP)

Magic is the art of harnessing of an individual's connection to the world's energies. It is a central part of life in all societies of the known world. The vast majority of the population, regardless of ancestry, is born with a natural affinity fo...

Hi friends,

Not too much going on this week. I’m focused on getting the Viridian Lady sequence finished, but since it’s more complex than the other areas the MC can explore, it’s taking some time. I’m about 12,000 words into it and o...

Building a Boss Fight

Spoilers for Chapter 1, Route A

One of the most challenging, yet rewarding, things to come out of Chapter 1’s development is the Route A boss fight. I have always intended Wayfarer to have a robust combat system�...

Hi friends,

I’m posting this update a little later than usual since I wanted to include today’s writing. This week was quite busy as I’m trying to find the right balance between Patreon content and new game content. I’m experimenting...

Balanced on the Edge (Aeran x F!MC)

Happy Valentine's Day, friends!

(Yes, I know I'm early, but I finished this sooner than expected and I thought I might as well stick to my Thursday bonus content schedule).

This week's bonus content is a bit of an experiment. I wasn't ...

Hi friends,

This past week has been both busy and not busy. I took a little bit of a break to unwind from releasing the Chapter 1 update but still got caught up with working on bits and pieces of things every day. While I did plan on startin...

The Genesis of a World Map

I LOVE MAPS.

I’m going to blame this one on The Hobbit and Narnia (my parents read me both when I was pretty little), but I have always loved maps. There’s something really fascinating about maps. I like to know where things are and I al...

Hello friends and welcome to Wayfarer’s first Weekly Update+!

Because this week has been so busy with the release of the new Chapter 1 content, there isn’t much to report. But I did want to give Patrons a brief run-down of my goals for F...

Alpha Build v 1.0.2.

Hello friends, 

Above is the link to the Alpha Build. Currently, the public and alpha builds are the same (this is due to timing not working out quite as intended - I wanted to get a new update out publicly, but I also didn't want to de...

Throwing Out Ideas & Seeing What Sticks

Long-time followers of my development blog will probably remember that Wayfarer began as a Dragon Age fan game. In fall 2019 I began transitioning the story and world into an original setting. During that process, I was taking an online narrative ...
