Yes, as soon as the next CG is finished and I get time to add it in :3 I will be out of the state for next week so it will come (hopefully) just after that!
I like some changes in the interactions between the mc and the Wolves. I also like the story that we didn't get to know before this update. And MAN Arkyn looks perfect.
Thanks for the praise! I'm happy so many people are taking to the new stuff really well. I hate that I couldn't just flip out the whole rework all at once cause of time constraints so seeing people are enjoying what's been added is really motivating ^///^
Changing sprites normally doesn't work, as most folk form connections to the originals, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I absolutely adore the new look! 😁 Gosh, how is it possible for Arkyn to have become even cuter~? ☺️
I love how much more streamline the story has become by simply changing a few things and adding some extra parts 😌 I really like how smooth all these transitions between scenes is
I also think it was a brilliant idea, at least from a writer's perspective, to allow us time with each boy instead of choosing between them so soon 😋 I mean, I know we'll have to make that choice down the line (with the promise of cuddles😏) but this is really nice 🙂
And also... Nekkid wolves 😐 hulking, furry, muscular, nekkid wolves running around!? 😳 [Screams in fanboy]
Hey! Thanks for the feedback and praise ^///^ Fortunately, Wayfinder is not like the other girls, you're never locked in to a choice for your wolfboi! You'll get a day (or two in some cases) after making a choice, the story paths will diverge to the different scenes, and then converge to the main story path again until the next choice.
Choosing Arkyn won't lock you in to his story content permanently for the playthrough, or you could choose him every time he's available! Entirely up to you!
Ooo, that's nice to hear! 😁 I always feel a bit sorry for the other guys when they're ignored, so that's another good choice 😌 but I guess even that won't stop me from keeping to a specific boy under each save file 😋 love what xou're doing~ ☺️
It has been the plan since Tehngo onboarded to incorporate my rewrites with his sprites, yes. This has the first three days with new scenes in the main story and two bonus scenes in a side story, all with the new sprites.
The next update in a week for Patrons and about 2 weeks and a half for the public will have Day 4, then roughly a three week to a month wait for Day 5, at which point I'll be able to do Day 6 (the day the reader chooses their first wolfboi adventure partner) and add on all of Act 2 and the new chapter all at once.
In other words, a few more updates til the continuation, but I heavily suggest reading through this as there is still a lot of new content.
Man, sad to see the old sprites gone after leaving the VN to get new content for awhile before playing again. The other 3 are all nice, but I'm not a fan of how comically large Biorn is now, used to love him being a tall built guy but now he's a little...*too* bara.
Yup! Unfortunately because of scale the screen can't always show their full sizes... !!!But!!!! Here they all are! Keep in mind Bjame is standing with his legs apart and not his full height! (If I make him higher in game he'd clip out the screen)
Maybe eventually if you are able to make CGs of the characters, that can help give people a good idea of how large the characters are. I really like Biorn's brother flirty personality.
So first things first, I can not state how much this Vn was enjoyable to read. The main protagonist is well-written and has a catchy identity. For now, the three love interests we can interact with are interesting, each has a level of depth I wasn't expecting.
For me the Pro's are
Great Story
The Old Sprites (Though I do enjoy the new ones, the old ones grew on me)
Well Writen Protaginist
The only Con for me is:
There is a lack of updates on the communication front. Not that I hold any negativity or hate just a little let down. I got done playing through version 1.8.2 and was incredibly overtaken by wanting to read on. Going to Patreon and giving a pledge to get early access to version 1.9 and it left me feeling stunned. Though I will admit half of this is my fault for not reading posting time stamps. Since the last update on Patreon was in August. Even headed to the discord after to check about development progress only to see that the discord was also rather lacking in information as well.
Over all this is a great Visual Novel with a lot going for it. However, that being said it does feel like it's almost been abandoned. I do hope that the people working on this know what is there is amazing. Just wish there was more communication about the status of the project. With all this being said, I would highly recommend a read-through of the public version (1.8.2).
Sorry about the lack of communication, I've been working on a devlog to post but I guess I'll reply to this with what I was going to write there, and make a separate post later (work day >///<)
Rest assured this project isn't abandoned, the Patreon update is coming soon and (as posted in the Discord before) anyone who has donated since before the rewrites has been promised (and will receive) the update in their Patreon DMs! I had meant to make a dedicated post on Patreon to reflect this, but I actually just plum forgot to, which is my bad! I'm sorry for that! I will absolutely make it a priority to try to keep people updated on these things.
That said, the new Patron update has a new main theme song (composed by Camazule for Wayfinder, with potentially another song coming in the public update), a new CG with 20 variants of lighting and pose (and Tehngo is going to be working on another, 3-image CG for this same day), a bonus scene and the entirety of the next in-game day featuring the first hangout with Arkyn!
All told, after a few weeks for Patrons, the update that goes public is going to be the first three in-game days with the rewrites, two bonus scenes, all new sprites for the characters, and any CGs and new songs we're able to finish. I plan on releasing the next Patron update within a few weeks of this upcoming one, as that's entirely written and I just need to (struggle to) code it (and hopefully get the CGs for that day in as well)!
Thank you for your patience, apologies again for the lack of communication!
Honestly, the reply is something I never expected however I am delighted to see and hear what's in store for the future of Wayfinder.
I hope the production of these updates goes smoothly, that you take the time needed to enjoy making the Visual Novel, and that the Visual Novel turns out better than before.
Thank you for the response back, the communication is 100% appreciated.
Is everything ok you said you would update it a month after 1.8.2 in the first week but the first week is about to end and you said that specifically about the public build.
This is just a comment so I doubt most will see it but I'm actually grateful a lot of people have been supporting Wayfinder. I got to see it begin and I couldn't be any more glad that Lavan has been receiving support from that point onwards.
Wayfinder was one of my first serious projects and I find many flaws with what I did back then, as an artist. Life took over at some point and I faded out of this, but it's awesome to see Tehngo is absolutely thriving on this project as I always looked up to them and their artistic skills. Much love right there ❤️
I want to see Wayfinder flourish exponentially from here on out. Lavan is a fantastic storyteller and he's working with amazing people to provide the folks what they need!
Just felt like leaving a sappy note, after so long.

Hello!
Yes, as soon as the next CG is finished and I get time to add it in :3

which is the nsfw version?
From what I know the nsfw version won't be out until this one has more complete
I like some changes in the interactions between the mc and the Wolves. I also like the story that we didn't get to know before this update. And MAN Arkyn looks perfect.
i still have the og wayfinder downloaded i think the new sprites are really cool. And the new parts are cool too!

the first week
Wait I thought this was gonna be a continuation of the story so it's just changes to the 1st 3 days of the story?

Don't worry when I saw that I had no save files I knew something was up. So I've read from the start.
Hi Lavan, any word on the new update? :D
Man, sad to see the old sprites gone after leaving the VN to get new content for awhile before playing again. The other 3 are all nice, but I'm not a fan of how comically large Biorn is now, used to love him being a tall built guy but now he's a little...*too* bara.
You haven't seen the last of the old sprites! I have something fun planned for them :3
If Arkyn is six and a half feet tall, would that make Biorn seven feet tall?
Hello!
Arkyn is six-foot-five, and Biorn is seven feet, four inches!
If you look at the post "A Year of Wayfinder!", there are some other bits of info I sgared about the wolfbois ^///^
Be safe~
Lavan
Biorn's brother is probably around eight feet since he towers over him.
Yup!
Unfortunately because of scale the screen can't always show their full sizes...
!!!But!!!!
Here they all are! Keep in mind Bjame is standing with his legs apart and not his full height! (If I make him higher in game he'd clip out the screen)
Be safe~
Lavan
Maybe eventually if you are able to make CGs of the characters, that can help give people a good idea of how large the characters are. I really like Biorn's brother flirty personality.
I do have a CG planned for the end of Act 2 with a good number of them in it, so we'll see :3
Be safe~

where do i download the nsfw version
There's currently no actual NSFW in game, when there is I will be making a separate version!
Hi it's Alv, old artist of Wayfinder here!
First of all, thank you so much.
This is just a comment so I doubt most will see it but I'm actually grateful a lot of people have been supporting Wayfinder. I got to see it begin and I couldn't be any more glad that Lavan has been receiving support from that point onwards.
Wayfinder was one of my first serious projects and I find many flaws with what I did back then, as an artist.

Wishing you all a great time onwards.
Much love,
Alv
I actually like the old sprites. They were all so handsome and fluffy.
Thank you for the appreciation! Means a lot. Hope you're having a great day 💖
