Saturday Devlog (October 17)

Hi, everyone! Happy Saturday once more, hope you're all staying safe and healthy. :)

Apologies for the long period of silence--between a massive writer's block going into October and unusually huge piles of coursework recently, it had been really difficult to make progress on AMR at the start of the month. However, things have definitely kicked back into gear this past week, with 10k written in just over five days and no signs of potential roadblocks thus far. As things stand, I'm confident that the goals stated at the beginning of the month with a fair bit of comfort!

Artwork are also progressing smoothly thus far. I've received the first batch of sketches for this month's art features: Saintess Shiraya for the Art Preview feature, a couple of meme-y Monthly Features centered around Saine, and superhero versions of the Arcadia gang (Yusuha, Flyss, Eliana, and Tahlia--with the genderflips coming next time, if there's enough interest for it). If all goes well, we should have an additional Art Preview released for this month (King Julius), as well as an additional Monthly Feature--as soon as I can find the right meme. x)

The one thing that remains on my to-do list is to brainstorm ideas for this month's side story, which I do plan on throwing up an Arcanist poll for. If all goes well, I should have one up within the next couple of days. I'm flirting with a couple of ideas already at the time of this writing, just have to figure out an approach that can make it work within the side story's scoping limitations.

Finally, this week's Sneak Peek will go up immediately after this devlog, and features the aftermath of the fight against Ralos and Altea. And that about wraps it up for this week's devlog! As always, thank you for supporting the development of A Mage Reborn. :D
