Drakeye:

Who is Russia’s longest ruling female leader?

Should be Catherine the Great…

Drakeye:

Question 6. Who shot Lincoln?

Perhaps one of the Vampire ? Lincoln was an Axe-wielding Vampire Hunter according to one narrative/Movie

I am hoping that this is a true story.

“Booth” was notoriously tall wasn’t he? So it’s probably Nate in disguise. Maybe Adam shot Kennedy?

@bbymorphine - On the one hand, I feel kinda bad if it’s distracting you. One the other, I’m cackling with glee Good luck if you’re studying for a test though! I’m sure you’re gonna do great

So after being directed to a thread in the General category (Most anticipated COG games of 2018? - #45 by Urban), I’ve found out it may be quite some time before The Wayhaven Chronicles: Book One could be released The average seems to be 6 months, with it sometimes taking longer for Hosted Games to be released.

It’s pretty disheartening news, I have to admit. I thought it might be 6 weeks rather than 6 months…But there’s nothing I can do except wait, I’m sure they’re powering through as many as they can! So I really hope you guys will continue to stick with me during that time-I couldn’t have got this far without you all!

In lovely news though, the fact that Wayhaven got mentioned at all in that thread has put a huge smile on my face this Monday morning Thank you to those who posted that!

Hope everyone has a fantastic and productive week! I’ll be working hard on getting up together ready for my Christmas break, which I’m looking really forward to (gonna catch up on playing the interactive fictions and demos that have been released, hehe!).

… Someone needs to build a time machine for me so I don’t have to wait that long.

So far we only have one that takes us to the Cretaceous period sorry
Edit: at least you can sit in your head cannon and dream for a while

Senpai has noticed me, I can now die happily. Thank you! I’m sitting it on Thursday… pray for me.

Samurai of Hyuga had an unusually fast publishing. It’s possible that once the first Wayhaven is out and, depending on the success (which will no doubt be incredible), publishing’s might become a smoother, quicker process?

Or maybe the trick is to submit it to Hosted Games earlier? I’m not sure, all I know is that nothing will prepare me for this wait

lovinglydull · 2017-12-18T20:52:30.997Z

It is actually possible Devon had the game finished and submitted way before it was announced, and requested to keep it off of the Hosted Games upcoming list until it was near completion

Or maybe it really was fast-tracked for the sake of continuing an already successful series? Both are fairly likely scenarios.

EDIT: There actually had been a good deal of internal trouble with COG, if Devon and Jason’s comments to me are anything to go by. Devon was lucky to be on the last end of it – he had to wait 3 months for his game, and it wasn’t even really announced until it was a week from completion.

Awww man, 6months???
worth the wait tho!

Lol… I believe we have to ask our Vampire Bodyguards who actually was “Booth”

idonotlikeusernames · 2017-12-19T01:01:08.852Z

Probably not Felix (too short and too mixed-race) and Mason seems too anti-social to have been any sort of actor in the past. Unless the anti-social personality is fairly recent. That really does narrow it down to only two choices, Nate or Adam. Of those two Nate is the taller so Nate would be the most plausible “Booth” candidate, though Adam does remain a possibility.

Eric_knight:

and i believe she is too kind

Well not to “Abe Lincoln”, vampire hunter he/she wouldn’t be so kind. Make it a matter of life and death and even kind people, or vampires as the case may be, will turn into killers.

Eric_knight · 2017-12-19T01:15:36.919Z

Well… for my adventure, she was Natalie

and i believe she is too kind, i don’t believe she had actually kill anyone before… and because of her (actually was her voice), i decided to let them all go away(during our first encounter) without even raising my gun to them …Lol

Hmmm… come to think of it , when one hold the power of Life or Death towards others, the most difficult choice is not to end the life of others, but it is the choice to spare the life of his/her hated enemy… Curious to know whether Natalie/Nate is that sort of Vampire…Lol

So maybe not 6 months? Devon popped onto the thread and said his was about 3 months (just under). Link to his post.

I imagine though that the work of the employees slows down though during holiday times, but thinking about a 3 month turn around is more palatable than 6 months. Baby steps… we got this! All I know is that the second the game drops, I’ll be throwing my money at it.

In the meantime… I know Sera was asked this on her tumblr, but what are everyone’s favorite romantic tropes that they hope to see pop up in game?

A few of mine are:

self sacrifice on the MC’s part for the LI though it turns out ok in the end (so much heart-wrenching and lovely angst!)
fake couple (all that romantic tension… )
repeated aborted love confessions from the LI because they just can’t get it out
the “I’m so glad you’re alive I need to kiss you right now!” kiss
