UPDATE POST
It’s been a long while (again), I hope you’ve all been well in the interim!
Happy to announce that the public demo for A Mage Reborn, Book Two has been updated. This is an extremely substantial update which more than doubles the wordcount, and goes well past the midpoint of Book 2. The demo currently stands at 586k words, which is a 331k-word update over the previous demo.
Content in the game now goes up to Chapter 10, which is the second-to-last chapter of Book 2. Importantly, this goes past the stopping point of the pre-rewrite demo.
Included in the update are minor rewrites on how some of the game’s earlier chapters were handled. One of the most prevalent feedbacks I’ve gotten is how the mage’s trauma can feel glossed over in the book’s earlier chapters, and I’m slowly working to better the game on this front.
That said, I plan to prioritize completing Book 2’s plotline above anything else, so more serious overhauls will have to wait for a while. That said, I do hope the current changes can help tide you over!

A Mage Reborn, Book 2 Public Demo
Saves will be broken, but as always the character creator allows you to skip forward to the desired chapter, and accommodates multiple points of entry for the game’s more expansive later chapters.
I also want to announce a side project I have called Stage Fight! - a Choicescript game I’ve been writing on the side for the past few months. It’s a near-future, urban fantasy piece inspired by Solo Leveling and Produce 101 (I promise it makes sense). I’ve put together a demo of around 95k words, which I’ll be releasing later today. If this project sounds interesting to you, please keep an eye out for it on the forums!
And lastly, I want to apologize for the long wait - it’s always a little nerve-wracking releasing AMR updates publicly, and I kept putting it off longer than I should have. It’s been a lot of ups and downs over the years, but I’m more confident than ever now that this project is one I can finish, warts and all.
Thank you for sticking with me on this ride, and I hope that you enjoy the update!
