Hello everyone, and happy Saturday once again! Hope your weekend is going well :D
I come bearing a bit of bad news today, namely that I've hit a pretty significant roadblock in writing content for AMR. There are numerous contributing factors to this that I'll discuss at length over the cour...
2021-06-12 17:24:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, and happy Saturday! Hope you're all staying healthy and safe.
It's been a pretty productive first week of development so far, with two major things on my to-do list having been checked-off. Betrayer, Ilya's side story, is now up and running, and the game-breaking bug t...
2021-06-05 20:35:52 +0000 UTC View PostThis took much longer than expected! Big apologies for the delay--if you recall the devlog from several weeks ago, I had intended to pursue a more innovative format, where the story is told from the perspective of a historian reviewing Ilya's letters centuries after the story had concluded. It wa...

Hello and happy Saturday! As always, I hope you're all staying safe and healthy.
First of all, I'd like to extend my biggest gratitude for helping me reach my final goal! I was in tears when I first saw, y'all. It's incredibly validating that my work would resonate so much with so many peop...

It's been a long time coming, but Yurui's portrait is finally finished! Her outfit is slightly less grandiose than Yusuha's is, but she makes up for it in side-eye and that glorious mane of red hair. And of course, it wouldn't be Yu without the side windows!

2021-05-22 15:00:57 +0000 UTC View PostA bit out of order today, for the sneak peek to come before the devlog! Variety is the spice of life and all that. Devlog should go up sometime later today; in the meantime, please enjoy Part 2 of the Eli reunion scene! You've made no secret of how much you anticipated it, so trust and believe I'...
2021-05-22 12:13:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe cover art for A Mage Reborn will feature a pair of mages (potential MCs, if you will), and I received their character design earlier this month! They turned out really well, and I'm super excited to show you guys the finished product, hopefully later this month!

As promised, a double feature! I'm withholding the Spirit Gate path of the Reglaire invasion because I'm not yet happy with how it turned out so far. Instead, the first thing I'll be showing off is the next update's opening scene, featuring the main antagonists of the next arc!

Hello hello! Happy Saturday once again. :D Lots of things to talk about this week!
I'll start with a piece of bad news first, just to get it out of the way: I will most likely have to reduce the wordcount goal for this month's update. :( I apologize! I had been confident that the holidays w...

2021-05-10 21:08:18 +0000 UTC View PostHello and Happy Saturday once again! Or Sunday really, at least in most places. Sorry for the late update; it's the run-up to Eid al Fitr and things have been a bit hectic lately.
That being said, progress is going smoothly for the next update! I'm up 5k words from last week, and the bulk o...

I'll be integrating the Roundup and Roadmap feature into one post this month (and most likely for upcoming months as well) because there's usually a fair bit of overlap between contents, and also because I don'...

Hi everyone! Happy to announce that I was able to power through the block this past week and write a good amount of content! Enough for the update to proceed as scheduled. :D
The good news is that the update sits at 24k words, well within the wordcount range I targeted at the start of this ...

F!Eli joins the fray! I've been told she pulls off the look much better than her male counterpart, but hopefully she's still enough of a fashion disaster to compensate for the fact that she, you know, saved your life and everything.
( Also...do not perceive her and M!Eli's ...

There are three customization points that your character can have post-resurrection: outfit, mask, and callsign.

Hello and happy Saturday once again!
I'll be candid with you, folks: it's been a tough time writing this week. I've had my first serious case of writer's block since starting this project in earnest, and none of my usual tricks did me any good this time around. Not that it hasn't happened b...
2021-04-24 14:33:56 +0000 UTC View PostHello! 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!

2021-04-21 19:04:07 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Saturday once again!
Lots of writing done this week (+9k overall), though a lot of it was done on scenes that won't make the next build (undisciplined of me, but sometimes...you gotta strike while the writing iron is hot.)
They're important scenes nevertheless! Starting from the...

Heeeere's the Errand Boy! I guess Saine must be a favorite of Khutilust's too, because he got the guy done in record-breaking speeds. xD
The black outfit is brand-new, combat gear hand-sewn by royal seamstresses. The shabby brown cloak, meanwhile, is a remnant of his White Fangs days. He's ...

It took a hot minute, but Ilya's portrait is finally completed! She's shown here in her saintess garbs, performing a bit of her theurgy. The bangs are new post-resurrection, and you'll an in-game option to note it. :D

Happy Saturday! Hope you're all doing well :)
It's been a tedious, nuts-and-bolts week for the game's development, but I've cleared it in satisfactory fashion and I'm just glad this phase is behind me, aha. Development time was split roughly equally on writing, coding, and finishing up ...
