Apologies if this (or anything similar) has been asked before, but how long did Wayfarer take to plan/write/etc before you started posting about it on tumblr or actually.. writing the game?

I'm currently in the very early planning stages of my own IF and I don't want to rush on making the worldbuilding. I imagine lots of planning went into Wayfarer (?) before you started to actually write the game or promote it on tumblr, and I suppose I'm just curious to know? Again, my apologies if this is a weird question or one you don't want to answer.

Oh that's a good question!

To be honest, I wouldn't use what I did as a good example of what to do. 😅 As some of you know, Wayfarer has its roots as a Dragon Age fan game. That game went nowhere (and has no similarities to Wayfarer other than Alexia, Ren, Calla and Aeran were all originally OCs for it), but it did mean that I had an audience from the DA fandom when I made the switch to original writing. I made this blog and did announcement posts and OC questions before I had anything substantially written. I released one demo in May 2019 and didn't get much further than that.

2020 was when I made changes and abandoned the fan game to work on what is now Wayfarer. I did about 5 months of plotting and planning before I made the announcement; I actually did most of the initial worldbuilding and outlines for a video game scriptwriting course I was taking at the time. I had to develop a game bible for a hypothetical game, so I used Wayfarer for that coursework, although that game bible is not very representative of what the game is now since I had to do specific things in specific ways to appease my professor.

The first thing I did after announcing the switch to orginal fiction was commission a portrait of Mel. 😂 I already had portraits of Aeran, Alexia, Ren and Calla and though those ones were commissioned while the game was still Dragon Age, their character designs are still the same. Though I don't think artwork is necessary to have a successful IF, it can be very helpful in terms of gaining an audience. Visuals are eye-catching!

I tried a lot of different things in 2020. Some things worked, some didn't. The first half of the year I was worldbuilding, outlining, and reworking the game bible. I wrote and coded a Prologue that eventually got scrapped, and the beginning of Episode 1 up to the fight with Kane, which didn't. I livestreamed it on my Twitch channel with my partner reading and doing voices (shout out to anyone who remembers Southern Sero because that was... a thing that happened).

I rewrote the Prologue with the one we have now in September 2020 and worked to add more material to Episode 1 before making an official game announcement in November 2020. I can't quite remember how far that first demo went, but I think it was the Prologue and Episode 1's fight with Kane if the player went to Rat Alley and up to the end of the meeting with Zenaida if the player went to the docks. All of that would have been around 51k words of playable content in the game when the demo released.

Looking back, I probably would have done things differently. I also think that there's no one way to make an IF. What works for one person is not necessarily going to work for another, it's okay to find your own path. 💗

But I can give a little bit of advice:

You need to know what you are writing before you go ahead and write it. IF is not a medium that can be pantsed (unless you're creating a short or micro game). Get comfortable plotting and outlining in well in advance. You should have an idea of how your game is going to shape up and the main thrust of the plot before you start, otherwise you're going to get overwhelmed with too many ideas and risk fizzling out.

To promote a game, you need to have a game. Before you launch an announcement post and officially start marketing your game, you need to have a playable demo with substantial content. Think of it this way: you only have one shot to make a first impression and it has to be a good one. The demo needs to introduce the player to their character, the world, the game's main mechanics, and a plot hook. The amount of work this is going to take is going to differ depending on the scope of your game and your writing style, but a character creator and 1000-3000 words is not going to cut it.

Don't use your blog as a way to worldbuild. Keep that offline and between you and your beta group or writing circle. If there's one repeat tendency I've seen a lot over the past few years of IF development on tumblr, it's that there is sometimes more interest in answering OC asks and writing flash fiction and answering prompts then there is in writing the game. These asks can be a lot of fun and can absolutely drive engagement for your blog, but at the end of the day they can either take away from the time and energy you should put towards your game or they will spoil the development of your characters for the players. The line between player engagement and player participation in a game's development is a very fine one that can get tricky to walk.

Worldbuilding isn't something that you do at the start and never again. It's something that grows with you as your write your project; sometimes you'll have to shift things and change them, fill in holes you didn't see coming, scrap ideas entirely. Allow yourself breathing room. I think you're off to a good start by knowing that you don't want to rush the worldbuilding. It's something that takes a lot of time to grow organically, and it's going to change and grow with you.

Good luck! 💖

author's note: @nexility-sims and I have been discussing this museum exhibit for nearly a year and working on the lot for weeks...so good to finally see it realized!

Transcript under the cut!

Crown Museum of Uspana // Armorican State Visit - Day 2

THEO | [offscreen] Your Highess. FREDDY | [in a tone of slight horror] ...is this a joke? You’re the one the Royal Foundation picked for this tour? THEO | The one your sister picked, actually. She insisted. FREDDY | [sighs] Let's get this over with, then. This is called a "painting." THEO | Wait. Before we start, can I apologize? THEO | I know this is awkward, but...I'd rather not have it hanging over our heads. I'm really sorry about how I ended things. I was a coward, and you deserved better than getting dumped via text. FREDDY | Geez, Theo…that was a long time ago. Ancient history. THEO | I know. But still... FREDDY | [pause] I appreciate it, Theo. THEO | Well, should we get started, then? Lots to see, lots to do... FREDDY | Sure. You’ve seen this portrait, right? THEO | I think every Armorican has. It’s the first official portrait your family’s released in a decade. It was huge news. FREDDY | Well, did you know that Everard II bought those pearls in 1896 for Queen Augusta? My mom hasn't worn them since my father's coronation. THEO | Really? If I owned pearls like that, I'd wear 'em every day. FREDDY | Yeah, that's not really Her Majesty's style. THEO | The whole thing painting isn't her style! I'd expect to see her outside, dressed more casually...did Roz commission this or something? FREDDY | Nah, Mom had full control. Just wanted to be queenly, I guess... THEO | Fair. It's a good likeness, at any rate...

FREDDY | So…what's new with you. THEO | Uh. Not much. Been busy, I guess? FREDDY | [laughs] Theo Adams? Busy? Say it ain't so! FREDDY | For real, though...how have you been? THEO | [sighs] I dunno. I might break up with my boyfriend. FREDDY | In person, I hope. THEO | [laughs] Oh, you asshole— FREDDY | Sorry, I couldn't resist. THEO | Don't be, I walked right into that one. THEO | Anyway, I'd ask about your life, but I already know all about it. FREDDY | Oh? [smugly] Didn't you once say that you didn't read about me at all? THEO | Oh, you wish! No, Josie tells me everything I need to know. FREDDY | Josie? Oh no...she only says good things, I hope. THEO | Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies. THEO | ...she says you're going to propose any day now. FREDDY | Wait, wait, wait...Josie's sating that I'm about to propose? Wet hell, is that where that stupid rumor's coming from? THEO | So it is just a rumor? FREDDY | Yes. I care about Em, but...we're just not there yet. THEO | It's good to know where you stand. You don't want to rush into anything. FREDDY | Thank you, that’s what I've been saying! You should tell her that. THEO | [laughs] Uh, no. Talk to her yourself, champ. I've got too much going on in my relationship to even think about getting involved with yours. FREDDY | Yeah, yeah, I'm just kidding...but d'you wanna know something? THEO | What? FREDDY | I missed you. As a friend. THEO | Yeah...we were good friends, weren’t we? FREDDY | Better friends than lovers, at any rate. THEO | Maybe we could try again? Y'know, since we'll be working together. FREDDY | I'd like that. THEO | Me too...and I missed you, too. As a friend. FREDDY | 🙂 THEO | 🙂 THEO | We're supposed to be talking about art, right? Tell me about this one. FREDDY | This? It's called a "statue." THEO | [laughs] You're lucky you're cute, you know that?

Hi. How are you? I'd like to ask you something, an opinion so to speak. Feel free to not engage if I am being inconvenient. It's just you seem really really fond of Sergio. You mentioned you're married and you display a very mature approach towards all subjects. I'm 37 and can't talk much about him with my friends. They look at me like I'm the second season of The Last of Us yet to be shot😅 The thing is I like Pilar a lot. I see many differences between her and Sergio but this is healthy and, besides, I believe they coincide in the real important life values. Otherwise they would not be raising 4 happy children together. However, she seems completely disconnected from his family. It seems to be getting worse. I think he doesn't give 2 fucks, pardon my language, keeps going strong between the 2 of them, but it sure must be a source of tension. Do you have any thoughts on that, any understanding of what the reasons are? I remember Mirian being glued to Pilar, all of them going fishing on sales in Madrid. And since he decided to make their union official in the church the relations derailed. When they released the clip, there is Pilar coming down the aisle, Sergio was crying and Paqui was looking at her as if she were going to commit murder... Idk. I just needed to vent after Alex's bday. Idk if it is possible for you to answer privately. Don't want to bring drama to your page which is hyped, good humored and full of easter eggs - La Cibeles tattoo was a killer ♥️ I let out a little uhuuu and came here to check if you had already seen it 😅 Have a great week.

Hi 😊 I'm gonna try to answer this somewhat coherently, but i can't promise anything 😉

So first of all, i'm gonna say i'm in a somewhat similar situation with my mother-in-law or family-in-law for that matter. She's a perfecty nice woman, i just don't have anything in common with her, like our personalities and our outlook on life are so different, that honestly i don't think she really knows what to do with me or how to talk to me (and we've known each other for almost 20 years). It's just what happens sometimes and granted my husband isn't nearly as close to his family as Sergio is, but at some point you find a way that works for everyone and it's really not that much of an issue. It's a bit sad maybe, but some families just aren't that close.

As for Pilar's relationship with Sergio's family. I agree, it doesn't seem to be all that close, but i don't think there's any bad blood between them either. They do spend most holidays together, they went to Paris for New Year's and so on.

i actually think there are two reasons why it might seem lately that they don't get along anymore.

One, Pilar is generally very aware of how she presents herself on social media. Most of her posts are for her career and even the more candid ones are usually from photo shoots or are staged in a way to portrait her in a certain image. I'm mean it's what social media is for when you're basically an influencer. But if she's in Sevilla with Sergio (and his family) she probably doesn't want to get dressed up and put on a full face of make-up, so sometimes i feel like she deliberately steps out of the pictures and videos to keep her privacy (if that makes sense).

And they've never been a couple who did everything together. They've always been pretty independent with their own circle of friends and their own hobbies and i guess it wasn't that much of a problem when they were still in Madrid and Pilar had all her friends and family close (I remember Sergio saying once how envious he was of her that she still had all her old friends around), but now that they're living in Paris, with their jobs and the kids, they only have so much time left for their friends and families, so i guess it's easier sometimes to just spend their days off separately with their own circle of people.

And i totally agree on the values part. They definitely seem very similiar in how they want to live their lifes and how they want to raise their family and in my opinion that's way more important for a healthy relationship than sharing the same hobbies or tastes. You're gonna have to agree on the big things and at least from the outside it looks like they do.

Anyway, i hope this makes at least some sense 😊

I hope you have a great day too and thank you for enjoying my blog 😘

#i didn't read over this again #so i'm pretty sure there are tons of grammar mistakes in there #sorry for that #also i just realized i have like 5 other unanswered asks i've been sleeping on #i'm sorry #i'll get to them soon

Saw your photo post of Pope Benedict XVI and wanted to know if you know any books about him to share?

You know, I've always had at least a passing interest in Papal history, but what really got me fascinated in the history of the institution and its leaders and traditions was when Pope John Paul II died in 2005. I couldn't stop watching coverage of his funeral and, especially, the Conclave because neither of those things had ever happened in my lifetime. I'm not even Catholic -- or religious! -- but there I was hooked by the combination of majesty and mystery with the whole deal.

Then-Cardinal Ratzinger was the leading figure of the funeral ceremonies for John Paul II prior to that Conclave and he went into the Conclave as the leading candidate among the Papabile, so it was not surprise when he was quickly elected and became Pope Benedict XVI. Because of all that, I ended up with a lot of books about Pope Benedict (long since surpassed by the library of Pope Francis books I now have), and even quite a few books written by Benedict XVI. Unless you're really into learning about his theological philosophy, I'd skip most of the books that Ratzinger/Benedict wrote. The exception would probably be Pope Benedict XVI's encyclicals: God Is Love (Deus Caritas Est), Saved In Hope (Spe Salvi), and Charity In Truth (Caritas in Veritate), which I do find interesting. Plus, the Ignatius Press of San Francisco publishes each of the encyclicals in gorgeous little volumes that are nice to collect. Benedict was also working on another encyclical when he resigned in 2013 -- The Light of Faith (Lumen Fidei) -- which was completed and released by Pope Francis, but credited as the work of "four hands" and considered the only encyclical co-written by two Popes.

However, when it comes to the Popes, I've always been more interested in the biographical than ecclesiastical, and there is no shortage of great biographies about Benedict XVI. Elio Guerriero's 2018 biography, Benedict XVI: His Life and Thought (BOOK | KINDLE) is excellent. But the very best books about Pope Benedict are those written by Peter Seewald, who basically ended up as Benedict's official biographer and had incredible access to the German Pope. Seewald's 2008 book, Benedict XVI: An Intimate Portrait, is a solid starting place and takes you about halfway through his pontificate. Benedict XVI: Last Testament: In His Own Words (BOOK | KINDLE) from 2017 is basically a book-length interview of Benedict by Seewald. But the definitive work about Ratzinger is the two-volume biography Seewald recently published -- Benedict XVI: A Life, Volume I: Youth in Nazi Germany to the Second Vatican Council, 1927-1965 (BOOK | KINDLE), published in 2020, and Benedict XVI: A Life, Volume II: Professor and Prefect to Pope and Pope Emeritus, 1966-the Present (BOOK | KINDLE), which was published in 2021.

Two other titles are worth mentioning just because they are written from unique points of view. My Brother, the Pope (BOOK | KINDLE) was written by Benedict XVI's older brother, Georg Ratzinger, who was also a Catholic priest and died in 2020 at the age of 96. And John Paul II: My Beloved Predecessor is obviously not necessarily a book about Benedict, but it was written by him and provides an interesting glimpse of the relationship between then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Pope John Paul II. Oh...and I'd also suggest Anthony McCarten's The Two Popes: Francis, Benedict, and the Decision That Shook the World (BOOK | KINDLE), which was originally published as The Pope, and used as the basis for a great little movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, as Benedict XVI and Francis respectively.

It might seem like I mentioned every book about Benedict XVI, but I promise I narrowed it down to the best ones in my library. If you're just looking for a good, comprehensive biography, go with any of the books by Seewald.

Hey, do you think Tae and Jennie intended to be filmed or they didn’t expect to be filmed. Was it planned? And do you think it’s gonna affect Tae’s album? Thanks

If I'm being honest... I never gave this incident too much of a deep dive, but only because I didn't want to. In my first-ever post about shipping, I made it clear that I was uncomfortable with the idea of using/spreading videos and/or photos taken without the artist's consent.

But, you're asking if I think it was filmed intentionally, and to that, I can only answer with a simple shrug. I tend to treat any piece of media that falls outside BigHit's personal guidelines as candid -- and although France is my next-door neighbor, I'm not very familiar with their privacy laws as much as I am with my home country's or South Korea's. Also, I don't really know what YG has to say about their artists and their protections, but I can only hope they are firm in taking action against those who infringe upon it.

I do believe that Taehyung left an autograph with someone that night (though I am not 100% sure), but an autograph is not necessarily a means of consent in terms of being followed and/or filmed. Jungkook tends to leave autographs in places that he visits, but we never see a photo or video unless Jungkook has given permission (in Korea). During his trip to Qatar, however, many people were quick to stalk and follow him.

Korea has some pretty incredible privacy laws that I wish more countries would follow. Think about how many BTS paparazzi photos you have seen in South Korea OUTSIDE of an official event/location. There are not many, right? I can probably count on one hand the number of photos/videos that I have unfortunately seen that were taken without their consent. Photos taken of them in America, parts of Asia, and Europe, trump that of their home country. Korea's portrait guidelines ensure this type of privacy to an extreme level, even if the protections are weakened for well-known public figures.

To answer the last part of this ask - do I think it will affect Taehyung's solo project? To that, I say no. Taehyung is one of the most popular members in the group, if not the most popular. He breaks records in his sleep and continues to show longevity in streaming numbers despite going months without a release. Also, this is Mr. Singularity's first-ever solo album, and there's no doubt that it will be the talk of the town. We're all excited to see what he's been working on, and no alleged relationship is going to impact him negatively.

I'm sure there are people who have unfollowed him or feel betrayed by him (I literally saw a girl on twitter cut Taehyung out of every physical photo she had of him), but to that, I say good riddance. If people refuse to stick by them because of a non-confirmed dating rumor, then we should be happy to see them go. More concert tickets for me, am I right?

Also apologies to anyone who sends me an ask; apparently I'm incapable of capping my responses... I do like to ramble.

#ask #bts #bts ships #taehyung #taennie #at the end of the day he's still a millionaire #jennie #blackpink ships #blackpink #beware of the french </3 #i dont care if they're a celebrity don't shove your phone into their private space #personal bubbles are taught in the kindergarten yet so many adults have a complete lack of understanding for them

This week's take-aways from the Office Hours Discord session. I'm sure I forgot/missed some. Please help fill in the details if you can. TY.

HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS PEOPLE WE HAVE DOCUMENTATION! Very exciting news today there is a new channel in the official MJ Discord server called whats-new that has detailed updates of progress being made. AND there is an official Docs landing page with a lot of very useful information about using MJ collected in one place and nicely organized.

I will copy/pasta the most recent update after my write up but I recommend checking out the channel yourself. Thank you so much to whoever worked on providing this much needed documentation

Disclaimer: I am not associated with Midjourney, Discord, or this FB group in any official capacity. I do this because many people can't attend the weekly Office Hours via Discord on Wednesdays at noon Pacific.

You're welcome.

1. Image prompts have been improved and Blend has been improved.

2. MJ hit 1M users on at once today. Getting close to 10M accounts

3. Check out the new mini polls on the MJ Discord server.

4. They need more front-end people. Please apply.

5. Search is getting better but database size is challenging

6. Getting closer to higher aspect ratios in v4. May debut in NIJI first.

7. Team is experimenting with inpainting and outpainting. Results are promising but not ready yet.

8. v5 is training right now. Wont be released until late February if then. Will release in phases rather then waiting to have everything at once.

9. Priorities for v5 are sharper images, higher res, trying to get higher language abilities in there (understanding prompts).

10. Working on ideas for tweaking word filtering. Image filtering is more difficult to improve.

11. Web features are coming.

12. Still working on free tier. In providing a free tier the goal is to lose money in a way that benefits the people who are paying for the service.

13. More vague but intriguing talk about a “magical paintbrush”

14. V5 and v6 will both have increased GPU costs. And training them is very expensive. Most of the money is going towards the GPU cost of training v5.

15. Magazine is in the works and swag later

First update from the snazzy new "whats-new" channel on the MJ Discord posted by fnuckle(Community Liaison Witch)

"So, what’s new in 2023 so far?

- Prompts that use “soft banned” words should no longer disappear when generating in users DM’s - Changed the initial job message from saying “0%” to "waiting to start"

- Fixed the --stop parameter when being used with --niji

- Instantly deletes discord message of jobs when it gets canceled in users DM’s (to cancel a job in discord, react to the message with the emoticon)

- Fixed "report job" hanging when clicked (to report a generation from discord, right click a message and go to apps > report job)

- Added --niji suffix as the default for /blend on the niji bot

- Improved Image Prompting

- The two main things it improved is the blurriness, and the “white-shifting” problem. Using image prompts should now generate sharper and better contrasted results.

- /blend command has been updated

- Added optional “dimensions” field with “portrait, landscape, square” options. Portrait mode is 2:3 and Landscape is 3:2.

- Removed the --v 4 default suffix and added support for user-set suffixes (users normal suffixes will now automatically appear on /blend generations)

- The “dimensions” field will take precedence to any --ar command set in the user’s suffixes

And lastly, my most favorite new update~ We have deployed our new official docs!! Go take a look - extra (fake) points for you if you find the page full of cats" https://docs.midjourney.com/

Tale of Two Hearts

Same-gender romance mod for Tale of Two Towns

Tale of Two Hearts is here! AAAAAH! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. Download links are in this post.

With this mod installed, Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns will continue to be the game you know and love... but queer. 🏳️‍🌈

Date, marry, and start a family with candidates of the same gender

Rewritten pregnancy and childbirth scenes for non-fertile couples

Alternative scenes available for trans-inclusive pregnancy

Various text edits to reflect candidates' new sexualities

Corrections of a couple typos and portrait usage errors found in the base game

Changed "fisherman" achievements to "angler" to be more gender inclusive

Howard is now nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns

Alisa acknowledges that she's asexual

This mod can be installed with Citra or LayeredFS. For both methods, you must already have a copy of the North American English release of the game. (ID: #0004000000047900)

For Computer

Download, install, and set up the Citra 3DS Emulator.

Make sure your game's installed and runs properly.

Unzip the mod. The password is LGBT.

Move the two folders ("exefs" and "romfs") into the appropriate Citra mods location as described in Citra's official mod installation guide.

Tips:

The game runs best at native resolution. Attempting to upscale with Citra will cause ugly gray outlines and broken sprites. Skip the opening video; for some reason, it doesn't play well on emulator. These are known issues with emulating this game and are not caused nor solved by the mod.

When viewing your game library in Citra, right-clicking on the game will give you various shortcuts specific to that game, including a link to the game's mods folder.

For 3DS

Jailbreak your 3DS if you haven't already. Here's the simplest, most straightforward guide I've found.

Install LayeredFS on your 3DS. If you followed the above guide, it'll already be installed.

In your Luma settings, make sure LayeredFS mods are enabled.

Unzip the mod. The password is LGBT.

Move the two folders ("exefs" and "romfs") into the appropriate LayeredFS mod location as described in LayeredFS's patch installation instructions.

Tips:

You're going to need access to an SD card reader. Most laptops have an SD card slot. It looks like a thin rectangle.

Your 3DS comes with a card inside a slot labeled, "SD Card." On my device, it's on the side near the circle pad.

For Both

When installed correctly, you should see two folders in the game's mod directory called "exefs" and "romfs." If the mod directory is the game's ID number, you know you're in the right place. If installed incorrectly, the mod won't do anything.

You'll know it's working when the game's title screen has changed. There's a big rainbow like the one pictured at the top of this post.

If you ever want to uninstall the mod, just delete the files from your mod directory.

Google Drive

Main Mod

MEGA

Alternate Pregnancy

The masc hero will be able to become pregnant and the fem hero will be able to impregnate her wife. To use, first install the main mod and then this file. Let it overwrite files in the main mod.

Google Drive

MEGA

I found an issue. What do I do?

Let me know. There's bound to be typos and other mistakes in any large project. Dialogue errors found in the unmodded parts of the game are also acceptable submissions. You can shoot me a message via an ask or DM.

Send a screenshot and a brief description of how you got there. If you also send me your save file, I'll be able to deal with it faster.

I don't want to make people download a million new versions of the mod, so once I collect a decent number of fixes and/or a reasonable amount of time has passed, I'll release an update.

Is this compatible with previous saves?

Yep! This mod doesn't affect saves. However, because of the way the mod works, while installed, your character will effectively be swapped with the hero of the opposite binary gender. In other words, if your character is a straight woman before installing, after installing, your character will become a gay man. Upon uninstalling, your character will be a straight woman again.

Is there a way to continue an unmodded save as the same gender?

No, not unless somebody figures out how to safely edit the saves.

How can I show appreciation?

Send me a message! Sweet messages are always appreciated and keep me going. 💙 Feel free to tag me in posts showing how you're enjoying it. If you should feel so inclined, I've also enabled tipping on this post, however tipping is completely voluntary and this mod is and will always be free.

How do I get Citra/Luma/LayeredFS/whatever software to work?

The appropriate guides are linked up in the "Installation" section.

I can't unzip the files! It's asking for a password?

Read the "Installation" section.

Where do I download the game?

From the Nintendo store. While I am in support of ethical piracy where creators aren't hurt, I won't supply another answer.

Can you add X feature to the game?

You can ask, but the answer's probably, "Not without a great deal of work," which I likely won't take on unless I was already planning to.

How do I mod X game?

Every game is so different that I can't tell you, however GBATemp is a great place to start.

I am very excited to announce that Wayfarer's public release will launch on Thursday September 9 at 12:00pm PST!

What the Public Release Includes:

The Prologue & Chapter I

Over 20 codex entries for you to discover

Over 500k words of cumulative game content (75k for an average playthrough, or roughly 2 and a half hours of gameplay)

All-new UI designs and visual assets, including unique screens for shopping, bartering, and your inventory

Toggleable dark and light modes

Toggleable fullscreen mode for PC

Full mobile compatibility, for both portrait and landscape modes

What a Public Launch Means

Previously, the game's public build was only accessible via a password-embedded URL on my development blog. This is how early players and followers of my blog were able to play the game. Now that the game is launching officially, it will no longer be in restricted access, which means:

You will be able to find it through itch.io's search function

If you previously put the game in a public itch.io collection, it will now show up

You can leave comments!

You can view all of the dev logs (going back to October 2020)

Release Schedule

Wayfarer's release schedule is episodic. Once launched, the public build will update on a chapter-by-chapter basis. If you're interested in early access content, the alpha build will continue have in-development content that goes beyond what is playable in the public version.

The alpha build is available to play on my Patreon! Patrons get some additional goodies and benefits, and access to a backlog of worldbuilding and bonus content posts. This month, I'll be doing a Creator Q&A that will be exclusive to Patreon.

See you on September 9th! 🥳✨
