Sneak Peek (April 22)

Added 2021-04-21 19:04:07 +0000 UTC

Hello! I'm back with the promised sneak peek, although it's...several days late aha. Big apologies, but I felt the need to rewrite the scene after having taken the screenshots, as several of the remarks felt a little out of place. I'm much happier with where it's at right now, though!

This is a choice hub from the next build, with each option having three unique flavor texts depending on what your pre-resurrection stats look like:

Picking the first option (+Cynical) will yield the following passages depending on your pre-resurrection stats and whether you opted for the stat reset:

Outcome 1: Default

Outcome 2: Cynical pre-resurrection (triggered whether or not the stats are reset)

Outcome 3: Optimistic pre-resurrection (only triggered if you reset your stats)

These kinds of self-stat-commentary will be peppered rather sparingly throughout the game--just because the sheer variability in it makes it rather unwieldy to write--but overall I think it's an exciting new addition to how the game tackles this mechanic!

In other news, I also received the codex headers from Angie today, and they look absolutely smashing. Here are some in-game screenshots:

Damn, they look good.

The game will also most likely feature mini-icons for each individual spell, which will be shown directly to the left of the spell history section. Given that the spell base is extremely large and still expanding, however, this most likely won't be introduced in-game until the game's development is nearly finished.

As always, thank you for following the development of A Mage Reborn!
