Bro just loaded up the VN and the Menu already has me AsCeNdInG!!!!! Please can I get the sauce so that I may add this to my collection?!

If you mean the title music, it's composed by Camazule for Wayfinder! None of the files are encrypted so if you're on a computer you can go into the audio folders and they're all there!

I'll see about getting the custom music uploaded somewhere sometime.

(+2)

This is one of my favorite VN's so far, looking to see where it goes. 👍

(+3)

Thank you everyone for your continued support of Wayfinder <3

(+2)

He got out of the art dungeon! Get him!

(Jk love ya Tehngo :3 )

(+1)

Glad to hear your back. I was worried that you might not continue the vn.

(+4)

It's been rough, but I'm more committed than ever now!

(+4)

I understand. Take care of yourself and don't push your limits.

There are too many buttoonnnssss i cant exit the menu 

I fixed this in the update that's about to drop today, actually! You might have the version from either Patreon, Telegram or FVN.li

(1 edit)

I do have that version lol

(+1)

Is this going to be continued, if it is, would love to play it again!

Also, what is the font you used for this, I like it, do you know what the name is and where I can find it so I can download it?

(+6)

The font is Skranji! You should be able to get it from Google fonts.

Also the update will be out publicly, I'm hoping, either Halloween or the following week!

Any news for when the next release will be ?

(+5)

I know it seems far off but I'm aiming for late September/early October on Patreon and  then Halloween for public! Tehngo has made so much art and I've gotten so many cool scenes written.

Wayfinder is unfortunately only something I can  work on in between DMing three D&D games (maybe the recordings will pop up somewhere someday) and working full time,  so it's been a long time coming.

(+2)

It's okay, thank you for answering ! And take your time, it was just curiosity on my part. I love your VN and your world building, and just hope the project was still on, even if it's slow ^^

btw itchio is going berserk on some nsfw games and some got shadowbanned already, make sure to prepare for the worse, and make sure to save game files somewhere safe

Thanks for the head's up, Wayfinder isn't flagged as NSFW since it doesn't contain any adult content! It's just recommended to be 18+ because there are pretty graphic themes but it's really more of an R Rating if it were a movie. I do also have all of the builds backed up on a Google Drive just in case, and the game itself is also hosted on other sites like Kemono Games!

some ppl have complained bc they had "bara" tag and their game still got shadowbanned eaven tho they had no nsfw tag or nsfw scenes (better be safe then sorry) <3

This game was amazing. I can't wait for 1.9.4 to be released. Biorn is such a a sweetheart and im wanting to know more about him. Lavan you and your team have done an amazing job. :3

5/5 stars

hope yall are doing well love ur work

(+9)

Update when?

(+1)

Now lets so what happen in this game 

Hoping that the glitches won't find me like in every other game.

(+3)

Very excited for the next update

(+3)

HOLY SHIT I MISSED THE UPDATE GOTTA PLAY

(+3)

Hey! So far, the VN is amazing :3 I like that you chose to center the story around Norse Mythology and I think the characters are very charming.

If I had to say a flaw, I think Geirolf should have more sprites with more expressions, because I reached the part when the protagonist and him go to a dinner and the change of personality is barely noticeable in the character's sprites.

Apart from that, really good work so far! <3

(+1)

Hi, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far~

Yeah, all of the boys are lacking in poses, we got a basic pose for each of them done for the rework so we could save on time and focus on the rest of the VN rework. More poses and expressions are next up on the list though, so stay tuned!

Be safe~

Lavan

i have no idea whats going on but its cute

Do i have to start over? I just updated the game and my save files keep popping up a error? I really don't want to start sll over again, i understand theres new sprites and i might have to but is there any possibility of not restarting? Getting to the to be continued and updating just to restart seems annoying but if i need to then i dont mind! Love your game regardless 

(1 edit)

Hey, if you're saving on the To Be Continued, it's likely why this crash is happening. That screen is removed when the updates release. As long as your saves have been from the new version (starting with 1.9.1) all along they should still work, just save on a text box or two before the TBC. Meanwhile, you can also try the chapter select and see if it lets you select the current day, and skip (should skip read text) til end of day!

thank you so much!

(+1)

Love this vn. Such cozy vibes

hello ? Will there be future updates soon?
(+4)

Hello!

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!

which is the nsfw version?

From what I know the nsfw version won't be out until this one has more complete

(+1)

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.

(+1)

i still have the og wayfinder downloaded i think the new sprites are really cool. And the new parts are cool too!

Hey!

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 ^///^

Be safe~

Lavan

(1 edit) (+2)

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]

(+2)

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~ ☺️

Show post...

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?

(1 edit) (+3)

Hello! 

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.


Be safe~


Lavan

(+1)

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

(1 edit)

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.

(+2)

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?

(+1)

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~

Lavan

I would like to know if it is possible that Bjame showed interest in the MC on Biorn's route

Hello!

Thanks for the feedback!

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!

I hope you continue to enjoy Wayfinder!

Be safe~

Lavan

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.

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. 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.

Wishing you all a great time onwards.

Much love,

Alv

I actually like the old sprites. They were all so handsome and fluffy.

(+6)

Thank you for the appreciation! Means a lot. Hope you're having a great day 💖

Enjoy this vn so far, the story is intriguing so I'm excited to see how it continues... also Arkyn best boyo imo

I maybe a bit late but with the new sprites they just look too clean. By this i mean, compared to the old ones, the new ones look like the have skin instead of fur especially when looking at the feet, hands and muzzle, Arkyn's muzzle does have some. Not sure if this was intended but since you paid over 1k it should at least look better. Also I'd suggest working on one route at a time instead of 4 as that would make things extremely slow, I know there's no "definitive route" but focusing on 1 at a time tendbto make thing progress at an adequate time. There's been an alarming amount of VN that the creator either took too long or went in over their heads and either lost interest or lost support and this vn has some incredibly unique story and I'd hate it to get dropped 

(+2)

Hello!

I wanted the characters to look less painted and more cartoon/stylized. It's just easier on the eyes for a lot of people as the old sprites gave a lot of people an uncanny feeling.

As for the route thing, I'm not sure how else to explain it. This isn't adding more work to creating Wayfinder, it was always going to have this content and the story is naturally going to take the reader through the same path regardless.

If anything I made the story more streamlined by pulling the early options and making it one straightforward path until after the memorial scene, and the new love interest (not really new, just not revealed til now) pops up during the story in scenes that were already being made. Even the couple of times where the reader splits off with him were already planned as part of the story as a whole, you can't opt out of them as they are integral to the plot.

The only real way to summarize is just wait and see, it might make more sense after 2.0 releases later this month/early october.

At the risk of sounding like a hater, you should  update your Visual novel regularly before adding a 4th route. Because with 3 characters, the updates were slow in coming, so with an extra guy...oof

Hello! I appreciate the concern~

Before the sprite reworks that Tehngo did and the opening rework (which I'm working on now), updates were roughly every 2.5 months and included content for all split paths each time which, all told, each amounted to almost twice the total story content of my biggest chapter (which was a converged chapter before any split paths). That's only a little slower than updating monthly.

As for the concern of adding a route, Wayfinder doesn't have 'routes' in the traditional sense. The story is going to diverge and converge multiple times, and the reader isn't locked in to being with one character just because they went with that character first. Next time the story diverges into paths, the reader can choose a different wolfboi if they want. The story is still progressing the same regardless, and this new love interest has actually been planned from the beginning!

This love interest is going to be available in addition to, and not instead of, the other characters Fynn can choose to be with as is the case for all of the wolfbois. Though he won't have his own personal adventure with Fynn for quite some time, he'll still be available throughout the story all the same!


I hope you continue to enjoy Wayfinder!

Absolutely loving this VN, brilliant story so far. Great character development, interesting way they are all adapting to work together.  you have given just enough background to make the characters come to life, without getting stale or boring.  looking forward to the next chapters.

Also, will each route be progressing at the same time, or will one character be written for at a time?

(1 edit) (+2)

Hello~

Thanks for the feedback! I'm happy to hear that you (and others, as far as the reviews go) are enjoying the characters.

When the story is split into routes, or Diverged, every route is updated at the same time for public releases with about a chapter's worth of story between them all. 

You're meant to play every character's route, so I'm trying my best to keep them all unique while following the same story!

Currently the routes are Converged, so the next story update will have much more story in a single route featuring all of the love interests.

Hope you continue to enjoy Wayfinder!


Be safe~

Lavan

i plan on playing each route eventually, but I tend to follow one route initially. it is easier for me to keep the story in straight ( hate taht word) fashion so to speak.

Oooh, now I'm curious which wolfboi you started with!

(+1)

I will give you a hint, it i snot Bjorn, and not Arkyn :P

( and just happens to be the most darling one of the lot)

(+1)

well, they are all adorable, but Geirolf is my favorite

(+3)

you can't believed how much i needed a norse VN.

(+1)

Is this update still scheduled to be released today?

(+2)

Hello! Yeah, I'm releasing it in about an hour or so. Stay tuned!

I know it's cutting it close, but I just got finished sprites for a character so I'm plugging them in.

Ok I'll stay up to read it. 

(1 edit) (+3)(-1)

Early impressions:

Like: 

1) Protagonist has a personality for once and is esily the best highlight of the entire vn. I also really admire his desire to take on Wayfinder's mantle and settle all possible conflicts within the groups. Compared to other vn's where MC's usually just sit back and watch the love interest fighte for them this is a beath of fresh air.

2) So far his relatinship with companions is surprisingly mature and nuanced.

3) Love the resurgance of Norse Mythology in gaming lately

4) It's Nekojishi except leaps and bounds better in every way except the artsytle.

Speaking of

Dislike:

1) Art is kinda bad. Arkyn looks as ugly as original Sonic's design from the first Sonic movie.  Lavan, you promised us redisign of the main trio around half a year ago. Where is it?

2) The fact that side characters are drawn in a new style only makes things worse since now two artstyles clash with each other.

3) Why do I need these plot irrelevant episodes about this Demien kid? I don't know anything about him, nor really care and he has absolutely nothing to do with the main plot. I can't stand when stories just jump from the one cahracter group to another, and the one that doesn't even has anything to do with each other at that, it breaks the pace of a story and creates a dissonance. If this kid will be plot relevant -- make his backstory cams ot of an organic character interaction between protagonist and his love interests, and if not -- just remove these entirely. On a side note human's empathy reserves aren't unlimited (my certainly don't) and we can't just attach ourselves to so many character at once. Please keep this in mind. 

so when will be next ubdate 

Hello, check out the Wayfinder page! It's just about always listed there.

Can't install new build via itch.io app, it gives me an error. Fix plz

Hello! 

Which version are you trying to install?

Is it Mac, Android, Windows or Linux?

Thanks~

Lavan

windows

Also since you mentioned android I have feeling you didn’t understand my question so allow me to clarify: Im trying to launch the game via an itch.Io app (another word launcher) — a hub a k a Steam except except for itch io games, and it’s *definetely*not possible on android since this app does not exist for the platform.

No, I get it. The thing is I don't upload a separate version there, it just loads the same version from here. I just didn't know it was a computer only app ^///^
The download works on the browser fine, so I'm not sure what the problem would be on the app. Did you have a version installed already?

I de-installed the version so I can install the new one (the app still works incorrectly sometimes) and upon trying to install 1.7.1 it gives me 'cannpt read property of 'build' undefined'

So, I tried to upload directly through the itch.io butler and it's telling me the game is invalid. I'll keep trying to figure this out, but in the meantime the browser seems to be the only way to download for now.
If I manage to get it to upload through the butler I'll reply here!

(+1)

I think I figured it out- I forgot to check a box saying which build was for which platform underneath each version.
It should be good to download now!
