Saturday Devlog (November 27)

A bit of bad news this week, unfortunately, as I've hit a massive writer's block just as I'm starting to round out the next update. The biggest culprit is the Charisma / Archangel path of the next arc's opening scene, which I've written and re-written perhaps four times over the past week. Without fail, the scene always comes out stilted and awkward, and I've had to scrap it and start again from scratch.
For the sake of sanity (and so as not to jeopardize the update in general), I've decided to shelve the path for the time being, and focus instead on making sure the update ends on a relatively satisfactory note. If the situation allows, I'll be appending the path onto the update several days after release, or, failing that, I'll tack it onto the next update instead.
The scene is question is roughly 5k words in length, which means the next update is now approximated to be around 30k words long. Of this, a full 26k words have been written, and I hope to squeeze in the remaining 4000 words in this last stretch.
I'll be uploading a Sneak Peek shortly, featuring the Learning / Black Grail path of the opening scene. Apologies that these have leaned so heavily towards the update's earlier half! The latter parts have a fair bit of in-game exposition leading up to them, and so they make for poor snippets without the context to explain them. :'D
As always, thank you for supporting the development of A Mage Reborn!
