Hey everyone,
I’ve been gone for a long time, but its mostly because I’ve been hunched over my laptop in a dark corner of the world trying to fix everything and churn everything out for the COG contest submission! I will update everyone after the submission, but meanwhile, I can’t for the heck of my life get the scripts to pass quicktest (playercode) and randomtest for the strangest reason.
If anyone can take a look at the code and see how it went wrong (it just freezes up and my computer starts to make a very loud angry noise 
), I would be SUPER GRATEFUL!!! I have spent way too much time on this. Perhaps my brain is just fried from work/sch heh.
I normally don’t do this… but having spent a few days on this, I’ve decided it might just be better to drop the PlayerCode system and skip over the problematic scene if I still can’t figure it out by tomorrow. Thanks everyone!!! MUCH APPRECIATED!

Also, chapter 6 is 50 000 words, finishing off the book nicely with ~190 000 words, ~225 000 (including code). I’ve decided to submit it for the COG competition (why not right!) and see how it goes! Super excited to see what you guys think about the finished product!
Beyond that, I’d really love to thank my beta testers for all your help so far! I know I haven’t been the most responsive, but I assure you, come 1st Feb, I WILL BE BACK!!! Anddd I will finally get my life (yes I have a real life, contrary to popular belief) back yay.
Alright, thanks for hearing me out. And if anyone knows how to work around pesky quicktests and randomtests, lmk!
Thanks for waiting/following/supporting/validating my bad life decision thus far! Yall are the best

You have a ‘!’ in front of the ‘=’ here. Would that make a difference? I literally have no idea about coding though, lol.
Great to hear you’ve decided to submit it! Good luck with it and can’t wait to play

I’m not sure if this particular error has been reported yet or not, but I thought I’d make it known. Just in case.

I finally submitted the piece!!! Freaking excited for this, and for everyone to get your hands on it!!!
Special thanks to the people who have supported me since the beginning, the great beta testers @mossheart @Logan3000x @FutbolDude21586 @Kristina_NRE @phantom1321 @TheNobleOne @FaustXIII @Guillaume_Gilbert @CaesarCzech @Rav3nsblad3, y’all are the true MVPs. Sorry I couldn’t reply everyone properly or include all the ideas, I was dying as it was, but a lot of suggestions were amazing, and I am truly grateful for your help, taking time off your life to bother playing this let alone give feedback! Truly amazing people, and I would love to credit all of you in the final piece.

Anddddddd @Jok3rzRvmpvg3_98 @EclecticEccentric @Micheal_Blanco (cause the forum only allows 10 users)
Beyond that, @Carlos.R @Prof_Chaos @Josetrayamar @anon4518890 @AAO@Phoenix_Wolf y’all are tip top commenters, and I really appreciate that! Really kept me going during dark 2am nights and moments when I sat in a corner wondering what I was doing with my life when I had exams/work/friends aka a real life.

Special mention too, for @Seraphinite, I will finally have time to sit down and play The Wayhaven Chronicles properly. Thank you so much for the kind words and comments!
And @Jacic, who made a sick fan art that truly truly truly made my week/month/year! Never have I thought anyone would bother to play my game let alone do something like that so it means so much!!!
Huge huge huge thanks to @ruhenri @Urban @idonotlikeusernames for all the essays, arguments and hugely helpful comments. Thank you so much for following the thread since… I think the beginning? And always being so incredibly helpful all the way through. Truly an honor and joy to make something for you guys.
Last but not least, ALL OF YOU. And everyone who I haven’t mentioned thus far! Everyone who’s been stalking/reading/playing/commenting/giving feedback. Y’all are truly truly amazing and you guys keep this forum running, which is super encouraging for newbies like me.
And with that, just a quick plug if you guys are cool. Add me on Linkedin/ Facebook/ Instagram @ Foong Yi Zhuan or @nauhziy if you are interested in my personal life. I haven’t figured if I would want to create a separate page for the games but it would be really cool to connect! Thanks guys! Would be cool to just chat about life or hang or something HAHAHA
And with that, I’m off to get myself a real life! Thanks guys!!!

Thanks for the great catches! The old link here is super outdated, I’ll find some time this week to change it to the new one (without the new chapters of course, that would spoil the fun hahaha) Regardless, thanks for the feedback and I hope you guys enjoyed the demo!!!
