Happy October!
It is now the autumn season for me, and work on Episode 3 continues. I am nearing the branch spent September on, with three more splits to cover and some funky new gameplay options. I have also finished overhauling my social media, and I’m very pleased with where things are sitting. My Insta...

Hi all!
I hope you all have been having a good month. I don’t have much to share in terms of an update, other than I have been very busy writing and getting through this next section of the finale. The new character interactions are a lot of fun to write, but there is a lot of cross-referencing that has to be done in order to bottleneck properly and keep the continuity straight. S...

It’s been three years since Wayfarer’s launch.
I would like to thank everyone who has joined for the journey so far. When I started making this game I never thought it would grow this much and reach so many people. The players are the ones who make the game what it is. I would never have been able to get it this far without you. There is still so much to come, and I hope you enjoy al...

Hello friends!
The past two weeks have been very busy. Work on the Episode 3 Finale is progressing smoothly; because of the characters involved in the finale, this part of the episode feels like a breath of fresh air as the MC finally, finally has someone to interact with other than Aeran (I love Aeran very much, but I have spent a year of primarily Aeran + MC interact...

Hi all,
I hope you are all having a great August! I am back from holiday. The trip was very relaxing, and I got to see a lot of family I don’t get to visit regularly. Having a reset was very good for me since I feel less burned out and ready and excited to work on Wayfarer. I did catch a cold on the plane ride back and I’m recovering from that, but otherwise I am feeling pretty ...

Hi all,
I hope you have all had a fantastic June! I do apologize for the silence this month; I have been trying my best to get this next update done, but as the current section is very complex in terms of cross-referencing previous events and continuity states, t...

I hope you are all having a good June! This month has been very busy as I’ve been prepping the next update. I’m not sure when it will be released, but I am hoping for sometime next weekend. I am slowly getting back my inspiration and energy, and for the first time in a really long time I am excited to work on this episode. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it is e...

An update to Episode 3 Part 3 has been released. This update adds 11,800 words to the end of the existing material, and acts as the bridge between Route 1 and the finale. Another update that adds a coda to this should be coming in a couple of weeks.
As with the update last April, some routes are under construction. To play this update you must have a save fil...

I hope you have all had a fantastic month!
To close out May, I am releasing a small update to the alpha build. This is not exactly what I wanted to release this month (as per usually I am overestimating what I want to get done; feeling optimistic about the direction does not necessarily match up with what is actually possible). I am still working on finishing the...

Happy May! I hope you are all having a good month.
Just a few quick updates from the past two weeks:

Hi friends,
A few updates before we head into May!
An update to the alpha build was released last Friday for the Recruit tier and above. This update picks up where the last update left off and includes around 80,000 words of new content.
The route is accessible only by playing either one of Aeran or Veyer’s endin...

Episode 3 Part 3 Route 1 has been released! This is a 80,000 word update that adds new exclusive content to the alpha build. This update continues where the last update left off and allows the player to explore Diradan Tower.
Because this episode is in development, some routes are under construction. Therefore, to play this update you must have a save file th...
2024-04-26 20:12:06 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Sorry for the lack of a progress report on Friday! Last week was a bit of a blur since I had several long days coding the new Episode 3 material. The good news is that all of it finished; the playtester build was updated on Friday and the new material is currently being tested. I am giving it a couple of weeks so the team has time to go through everything, and I have time to...
2024-04-16 00:27:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I’m sorry for missing last Friday’s sneak peek. To be honest, I wasn’t entirely sure what to share since without revealing even more spoilers for the next update. Coding is coming along, but it is a slow process since there are a lot of finnicky things I have to re-learn. Last September was the last time I did any major work on the build; it’s funny how easily skills...
2024-04-08 22:24:41 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I’m wrapping things up for March here. After a struggling with the Episode 3 Route 1 document for months (I believe I started work on it in July last year), it is finally done, coming in just shy of 70,000 words. I have started edits, and I’m hoping to smooth out some of the issues over the next week as I start coding.
If I’m honest, I’m not very happy wi...

Today's sneak peek contains major spoilers and background lore for a possible route in Episode 3. As always,. there are variations in how this can go. The MC here has the Child of the Fields background and a high relationship with Aeran.

This month I am rolling ahead with Episode 3 Part 3 Route 2! I should be starting this on Monday. I have a few more dialogue branches to finish up with the other route, but I am momentarily pausing it so I can get moving on other things. February was extremely bumpy due to unexpected personal and family reasons, so I am about a month behind my projected sche...

This week has been very busy as I wrap up Episode 3 Part 3 Route 1 (maybe I should make up short hands for these ahaha). The conclusion of the route is approaching fast, although I still have a few dialogue branches to close off.
I am two weeks behind schedule now, but I am working as fast as I can to get it complete. I have cut some planned events since Route 1 already ...
2024-02-16 23:05:09 +0000 UTC View PostA continuation of the last sneak peek! This week has been a struggle in terms of writing, this section feels very stuck since there are threads/ideas that need to be dropped, but dropped in a specific way. Some of this may get lost or moved around in editing, but that's the nature of it.
For context: there are six floors for the player character to climb here and there is something ...
