Saturday Devlog (September 25)
Added 2021-09-26 01:06:21 +0000 UTCHi, everyone! Happy Saturday once again!
Happy to announce that writing has been going exceptionally well over the past few days, and the new update is currently sitting at 22k words. I'm relatively optimistic that we'll be able to safely land in the stated goal range of 25k-30k by the time update day rolls around!
This next chapter is long long, perhaps the longest one in the game thus far, and it will likely take a couple of updates for us to properly reach the arc's conclusion. The parts that will be in the next update feature a narrative device that I'm particularly excited to show off - namely (spoiler alert) a flashback scene to the day that Arcadia fell. It is a very lengthy scene that features an internal timeskip, and I'm overall very happy with how it turned out. I'll be uploading a snippet of it in a Sneak Peek after this update goes up, along with another little update to the pre-resurrection arc that I've been working on!
The Patreon should be returning to business as usual come October--right now, that likely means another 20k-to-25k-word update, a side story, a full set of monthly features, as well as additional official artwork. Thank you for your patience with September's relative emptiness - I hope that the incoming update will be a satisfactory compensation for the long wait. :)
As always, thank you for supporting the development of A Mage Reborn!
