Wayfinder: A Modern Tale of Furry (v1.9.3)
Wayfinder 1.9 Final Mix HD Remaster (Lmao)
Hello~
I wanted to make this post to show off the new base sprites for the love interest characters in Wayfinder!
Of course, there're still two sprites to make, and Tehngo is working hard at them as we speak!
So, what are these new sprites all about?
Well, we're switching to layered sprites! This means that we will be able to more fluidly and creatively express on screen actions and emotions.
In addition, it will make adding new outfits and accessories much easier!
That's not to say I'll be going overboard though, nothing too outlandish.
Since the main three love interests' base sprites are finished, check them out below compared to the older sprites~
The fourth love interest's sprite will be revealed separately to avoid spoilers!
Next!
I want to announce that for patrons, the next update will be roughly at the start of August. This update will push out as much as I can with the new sprites, it might be just them swapping over to the new ones after Fynn travels to the other world at first and add in the rest over time. I need time to get used to working with the layered system and swap all of the code out, so I thank you for your patience!
I will be making all updates until all of the layered sprites are in the game patron exclusive, and will keep the billing cycle up in order to help fund the rework project, so if you don't want to be charged I ask that you please unsubscribe from the Patreon! This announcement will also be made there as well as sent individually to all Patrons.
I could not do this as fast without your support, and I appreciate every one of you who help the visual novel and all of you who read it!
My goal for the 1.9 public release is late September, and then after that the 2.0 version which includes the rewritten opening and the rest of this current act will be aiming for December!
Now, for the wolves!!!
Arkyn first!
Next, Biorn!
Lastly, Geirolf!
I hope you continue to enjoy Wayfinder, eventually!!
Be safe~

There could be a love triangle between Biorn and Bjame with the MC, i would love it hehe
I have no objection to the new and old sprites.
Their both equally pretty good. The old sprites in just only more realistic than the new sprites.
old sprite: Cool art.
new sprite: oh daddy wolfy....
......i mean no criticism, but the last image is just.......slut vibes, this man out here and ready to serve cunt
Arkyn's and Biorn's new sprites? Hell, yes! I love them. Geirolf's new sprite? Ehh, nope, I don't feel any attraction to Geirolf's new sprite.
Geirolf is my favorite of the three, but I had Tehngo make him to my tastes so I'm not surprised if he falls a bit in popularity ^///^
To my knowledge, his design is something that doesn't really come up in the same genre of VN: a masculine character with a not-very-masculine design (as far as societal norms go).
There are, obviously, likely to be examples of this that I haven't seen but I wanted to express his softer qualities and still have him be able to be the snarky smol of the three, so I'm loving his design for that!
Geirolf looks too feminine...
Well, yeah. He was always supposed to be the more feminine of the three. He's a prince, so he's pretty prim and proper even with the club outfit lmao
I loosely based all three of the wolfbois off of IRL actors/singers, and Geirolf's based off the singer Yohio.
Hopefully that explains it a bit~
As a side note, love the Kuja profile pic, he's another feminine man I love a lot ^///^
Think leigh from violet memoir has the masculine with not very masculine outfit down. https://mikey-skye.itch.io/violet-memoir
Yesssssss!
This is something I love so much, I wish more characters like this existed <3
Now I have to bump Violet Memoir up on my to-read list ^///^
I like the original sprites but these are pretty cool too
Yeah, it's a double-edged sword cause I know some people will definitely dislike the new sprites over the former ones. Unfortunately I am unable to keep working with Alv (original artist) and so I needed to swap artists, and the sprites clash artstyles u_u
So hopefully people will adjust!
I will say I can do a lot more with these layered sprites though. After I get used to using them I'm excited to see what I can pull off~
Ngl I don't like the new sprite. I like the old one, the new is... Yuck
It's fine not to like them :3
At a certain point I got so many comments about the original sprites looking too uncanny and clashing with the new style that I pretty much had to go for the redesign.
I will still be using the old sprites for something fun though, so this isn't the last you'll see of them ^///^
Three hd handsome bois? ;p hehe
And soon, a fourth...
