Patreon April 2021 Roadmap

We're back for the second edition of the Patreon Roadmap! Here's what you can expect to be coming this April.

All patrons - The next demo for A Mage Reborn is scheduled for release in Late April. As was the case with the March demo, I'm not yet comfortable giving out a fixed date. But as progress is made that date will gradually become clearer, and I'll let you know once I have a definite handle on it. Until then, progress report days are on Saturdays (GMT +7, which is the timezone I'm in), the first of which is coming right after this post.

Next is the short story raffle, which if you've been keeping an eye on the AMR tumblr page is now expanded to include a potential art reward as well (more on that here!). After a proper look through the Patreon guidelines it does appear that a luck-based raffle as I had intended is not allowed on this platform (see why here). The workaround is that it does allow 'raffles' on a first-come-first serve basis, and so the first 3 March patrons to comment 'Entry' under this post will be the raffle's winners!

Beta tester signups will also conclude within 24 hours, after which I'll be e-mailing each of the registrants to confirm whether they have secured their slot as a beta tester for the game.

Retainers - Sneak peeks will resume starting next week, as I haven't made enough of a meaningful progress with the actual game to release one today (more on why this is the case in the upcoming devlog). I'll still release 4 Sneak Peeks over the course of April, however, so expect a double-whammy over the course of the next 3 weeks.

We're also going to start the Cast Reacts to Patron Tweets feature starting this month, the first iteration of which will go up in Mid-Late April!

Lastly, Errand Boy, the March side story, is still a work-in-progress at the moment. It's taking a while to churn out, but it's shaping up to be some of my favorite writing I've done for the AMR-verse. I'm very excited to show you guys the finished product!

Arcanists - Ilya's portrait is coming sometime in the next 24 hours. As per usual, the full-body artwork is a Patreon exclusive, but the half-body shot will be made publicly available. I will also be releasing the second Portrait Poll soon, which will determine the next batch of characters to have their portraits commissioned.

Lastly, I'll also be releasing a consolidated Google Form soon for the purposes of both Patron Tweet Submissions and Side Story Requests.

Please feel free to ask me any questions in the meantime. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
