November Patreon-- Feator & Tp'aiwtt!

I'll have a formal schedule up later in the week, but for now get ready for a Q&A from in character Feator and Tp'aiwtt. ☺️

October Schedule: Turin and Imyi

Hello everyone and happy October! We're going to be doing in-character responses for our Child of Death, and his Aspect, Life, Turin and Imyi this month– so get your questions in! Some of our other Weekly Weirds will skirt this theme, and some may not, so stay tuned!

Oh a more somber note, Mac has had a major and difficult medical incident this past week, and while they are physically OK(ish) now, they're going to need some recovery time. Thus, I'm going to be doing things on m...

September Schedule: Beleskie Spotlight

Our Q&A this month is going to highlight in-character responses from Beleskie and Mar'mie! So if you've ever wanted to know anything about the Avatar of Relationships and her Aspect of self-understanding, now is the time!

We're going to do our best to keep to the schedule this month, but we appreciate your patience as we'll still dealing with the fallout of so many bumps in our personal roads. Because of this we're missing a lot of specific dates as of yet, but will updat...

Updates and Thanks

Hey everyone! Mac here! I just have some gratitude I need to get off my chest 💜💜💜

Y’all are just the best! Thank you for being so kind to J as she deals with the loss of her long time furry companion. Athena has always been her writing buddy, in addition to all-around awesome cat, for 16 years. Thank you for every message of kindness and consolation.

We really appreciate that you've all been so understanding about the slight delay to some of our posts this month, as a ...

Athena

My sweet baby, my shoulder-cat writing buddy has been sick all this last week and slowly making her way towards the rainbow bridge. Shes still with us, but caring for her this past week after sixteen years of wonderful health has been draining and painful.

So, white the Q&A and other posts are mostly done, I'm just not in the headspace to finish, so there will be a slight delay on that and the other posts for the month.

Thank you for understanding ❤️

Way Walker's Schedule: University Life

Happy August! We hope everyone is enjoying the more frequent Weekly Weirds and the unscheduled “Code Peeks.” We’re very interested in your feedback on how we are trying to grow and change our Patreon posts. Let us know how we are doing!

The Way Walker’s Q&A them...

WWU Code Peek

It's two more unscheduled peeks behind the scenes of this month's playable preview.

In the code language of ChoiceScript, a text line that begins with *comment becomes invisible to the eventual reader/player of the story. This is very useful for two co-authors working on the same file. We often use the *comment tag preserve old code that we are editing and point out brand new segments to each other. It is the best tool when one author wants the other author to be easily able ...

WW Q&A Announcement

We’re starting the poll for August’s Q&A Theme!

WWU Code Peek

It's amazing how often "Shelly nerds out" really is the best plan.

We're working on "Chapter 12: Search the Museum" for this month's playable preview from WW:U 3! While the preview itself is only for Way Walker + High Mage Tiers, we hope to give all Tiers more unscheduled "Code Peeks" like this so you can see what we are up to!

This is a great example of how a scene looks when one author has filled it out enough to be a "placeholder" so t...

Way Walkers July Schedule

This month, we’re going to be shaking things up a bit! We are updating the format of our “Weekly Weird” posts so that they are shorter, maybe a bit weirder but actually weekly. Get ready for more frequent posts with “Did you know” facts, funny hypotheticals, and behind-the-scenes peeks at our writing and coding.

Instead of in-character answers to your questions, for this month, our Q&A theme is “Ask the Authors.” J created the Way Walkers world as a pre-teen, and Mac ...

June Schedule: Rosin and Bahuh Character Spotlight!

This month we are hearing from the Avatar of magic herself, Rosin, who leads the Way responsible for training the most mages. Her Way is not just for Talents though! So get your questions ready for the amethyst dragon, and her twin flame Bahuh!


7th– Weekly Weird: Rosin's Favorite things


14th– Weekly Weird: Bahuh's Favorite things


19th– Additional Content: Red Semryu 28 (High Mage) 


24th– Q&A: Magic and Negation (Way Acolyte & up...

June Theme Announcement: Rosin and the Way of Magic

Hey everyone! Got questions about the Way of Magic? Next month’s theme is going to be in-character answers from Rosin, Avatar of Magic, and her Aspect Bahuh, who is best known as the patron of charm engineering. In addition to leading the Way best known for training mages, they are the “perpetual emperors” of Lubreean.

The amethyst dragon is famously secretive, so this should be an interesting one! Please post your questions here, on our discord server, or in a DM!

June Theme Poll for Way Walkers

Hey there! May's posts are all focusing on Conflict, the Avatar of the Way of the Red, but it time to chose the character you want to hear from next month!

Which one of the Twelve Children will be giving the "in-character answers" to all your questions in June? Vote to decide!

May Schedule: Red and Resolution Character Spotlight!

This month we’ll be hearing directly from the Red, the outcast of the Twelve Children of Spirit, the Child of Conflict (and many say, pure evil.) The Red and his Way are outcasts and heretics among Way Walkers, ever since he orchestrated the Great Fall and inspired Prothidian Altar to destroy the Old World, crimes for which his immortal soul was imprisoned in the Pit. Yet along with his twin flame, Resolution, the Red Child is worshiped by Annarites and many others living in the Middle Land...

April Schedule: Kubesh Character Spotlight!

This month we’ll be hearing directly from arguably the most famous warrior on the Continent, Kubesh, Child of Strength. Along with his twin flame Ta’keni, Aspect of Strategy, Kubesh guides the Way for Walkers who are interested in physical combat and feats of strength. But don’t think it's all mindless push-ups – there is more to the Way of Strength than meets the eye!

Ask Kubesh your questions, in comments here, DM or on Discord, and get an in-character answer from the Citrine ...

Pick the Next Theme!

We're still working our way through the character spotlights of the Children, so let us know who do you want to hear from next!

March Schedule: Character Spotlight– Montage

This month, the Way Walkers monthly theme is Montage, the Avatar of the Way of All Ways, who will be answering all your questions “in character” this month. Montage, considered the leader of all the Children, is the patron Child of spiritual seekers who try to learn from all the Ways. Montage followers are stereotypically confidently unique folks who forge their own path, but Montage is also the patron Child of all the slightly uncertain folks who don’t quite feel the call of any of the...

Weekly Weird: Relationship with other Children & Aspects


Vivid asked: How would you describe your relationship with (each other Child)?


Ulic's Answers: 


Montage: While I'd say we're all very well-rounded in our interests, Montage is by far the closest to my own eclectic broadness of topics that interest me. Thusly, Montage and I can speak for literally days at time, which, admittedly is found to be somewhat taxing to others at times, ahaha


...

February Schedule: Character Spotlight– Ulic and Cenon

This month, the Way Walkers monthly theme is Ulic, the Avatar of Truth. Ulic is the patron Child of scientists, scholars, engineers, researchers, librarians, and inventors. Along with their twin-flame, Ulic’s chosen race is the Okten, the flying bird-like people who make their home in the frozen north of the Continent.

Got a question for the Child of truth? Messages or leave a post in our Patreon discord! Thanks to everyone has already asked questions. If you have an idea f...

Say Hello to Our Littlest Way Walker!

In addition to the usual coding and writing, co-author Mac J Rea has been working on a happy secret for the past nine months. We’re now happy to announce their daughter was born on November 25th! Baby Rea is doing great and we're all just so tickled by the radiant cuteness!

Baby Rea and Mac are resting very comfortably knowing all Patreon posts are scheduled t...

Nov 4th – Weekly Weird: Prot's Favorite Things

Nov 11th – Q&A: Ask the Mad Mage (Way Acolyte & up)

Nov 15...

Patreon Theme Poll!

So we got the cool idea to do character spotlights for the Avatars themselves! So, we got to you to see who do you want to ask direct questions of, learn about their lives as people and whatever else you can think of!

(this is just to narrow it down for the first few months, we'll hopefully do everyone at some point ^_^)

October Schedule: Avenea!

This month we're focusing on Feator's chosen, the Avenea! Got a question about this turtle-like species and their place in Way Walker society? Drop us a comment here or on Discord (and thanks to everyone who have already submitted great prompts on the subject!)

After that, for November, I will be releasing the functional game as a a whole preview through Chapter 8. This will be up for several months over the holidays for you all to play test and have fun with. 😁

Schedule: September Patreon Character Spotlight– Shelly!

This month’s theme is our most stalwart companion (and most charmingly bookish romantic option) from Way Walkers: University- Shelly. Despite her misgivings about the dangers of your group’s plans, Shelly is just about always helpful. And if you can navigate the difficulties of your romance with her, you can’t ask for a more loyal companion. This month, ask Shelly anything and we will give you their “in character” response.

*also please note that while man...
