Saturday Devlog (November 16) (Patreon)

Hi everyone, hope you're having a great weekend!

Progress remains apace for the week, and I'm currently around the midpoint of the Reglaire arc's rewrite, during the assault on the castle in which Eli is held. While swathes of the writing have been revised—especially during the combat portions, which will follow a different power scaling (for lack of a better term) in the rewrite—the skeleton of the plot remains largely the same, I'm going to do another pass over the next few days to refine the dialogue (which has also seen significant modifications to better reflect the mage's relationship with F and Senz). The remainder of the arc should see no significant deviations from the original, and so the rest of the update will be focused on filling in the blanks for previous updates.

Speaking of, the Sneak Peek this week will showcase the performance grounds fork of the Day of Arrival festival, which is nearing completion at the time of this writing. It will be released alongside the artifact smuggling scene from the last sneak peek in a mini-update around the middle of next week. I intend for the performance grounds scene to be a complete contrast of the Hall of Memories. Where the latter focuses on the glories and achievements of Arcadia's bygone days, the former will instead focus on the resilience of its current people and their journey to recovery.

Shortly afterward, I'll also release an explainer of the new Arcanist+ feature, in which readers' mages have a chance to be featured in the spell illustration series (apologies for the delay on this - I had some things to work out with the artist!)

That about wraps it up for this week's devlog, and as always, thank you for supporting the development of A Mage Reborn!
