Saturday Devlog (Dec 11) (Patreon)

Hi everyone! Hope you're staying safe and having a great weekend!

Happy to report that it's been a productive first third of the month. The Archangel route is finally complete, and has now been appended to the Patreon demo. It ended up being an additional 7500 words overall, meaning that all together we're up 37.5k words from October's update. That's by far the largest update to the game, with the exception of 2.0! I'm quite happy with how it all turned out, as well--and I hope you are too. :)

As for the next update--a little stunted to start with this month, as much of the focus has been on finishing the Archangel route. We've currently only pounded out 4000 words so far, but I'm in the writing groove at the moment and I'm sure it'll go up very significantly in the coming week. The goal is 25k words + a side story, and after churning out last month's update, I feel quite confident in my chances of meeting it.

In other news, monthly features are currently again in the works! This month will feature the standard 2 or 3 lighthearted illustrations, plus zombie apocalypse AU portraits of the Arcadia gang. I'll also be posting a poll today to determine which side character will next get their portrait done--Arcanists, please look out for that!

Lastly, I'll also be throwing up a poll for side stories once I've solidified my ideas--currently, I'm not too sure if a couple of them can be worked into an IF format, and so I'll have to ruminate on them a bit more. Sneak Peeks will also be rolled over to a double feature next week, once I have some of the update's juicier bits fully written!

And that about wraps it up for this week's devlog. As always, thank you for supporting the development of A Mage Reborn!
