[UPDATE] Demo ver 8.5 is live! (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone! Hope you've had a wonderful start of the year, and thanks for your patience through AMR's break!
I've made many small improvements to AMR while I storyboarded for the next arc, most of which are concentrated on getting Book I publication-ready (I submitted Book I for publication earlier this month, so that's been exciting!). Included in those improvements are fixes for (as much as I can tell) all of the Silcur arc's persistent bugs, as well as achievements for the entirety of the first book.
Other than that, I've also completed the entirety of the Yotai festival scenes! This means two additional Eli scenes over 8.0, and one additional scene for Yu. This comes out to around 11-12k words of fresh content.
I've had a lot of time to think about story structure and pacing over the course of the break, and decided it would be for the best to leave the true start of the Arcadian romance paths for after the Yotai arc. However, you will definitely see some hints in that direction in the current build! Eli's scene is particularly thick with it, given how much longer you've known each other compared to the other Arcadians.

Remaining content for this month includes a couple of monthly features, namely commissions of Saine and Tahlia in modern/casual clothes, as well as the portrait for Altea. The former will be posted sometime before the end of the month, while the latter will go up immediately after this post.
And that about wraps it up for this month's update! AMR will return to its regularly scheduled programming come February, where we will start to unravel the mystery of Jiasei that we've been building up to the entire arc. Stay tuned!
