Arcana of the Lost (WIP)

Tbh that’s my approach. I know it’s unfair but I can’t motivate myself if I don’t know whether there are ROs or not. But writing “The will be ROs” is enough (even through knnowing who the ROs are is the optimal thing for me atleast)

Alright, the game telling you the MC has always liked magic when you pick you’ve never liked magic, past or present, is fixed!

This is, hands down, one of the best WiPs on here. I love the descriptions, I love the way it’s written, the world building, it’s all great and I can’t wait to see what it develops into. Best of luck, friend.

@Able_Wolffe Wow, this is wayyy too kind, thank you so much! I hope I can continue to put out the same (or better) quality of writing!

To everyone: You have all been so kind and generous to this project the past few days, I cannot begin to express how thankful I am or how happy it has made me. There is a long road between now and AotL being done, but this has been extremely motivating, I will try my best not to let you down!

The past few days I have answered some questions about the characters if your curious, their Heights, and Some random facts about each of them. as for writing, it’s going fairly well! I would like to have the prologue completely done by next update, but I dont want to delay the update too long, so we will see if I can keep pace. I finally have some chapter headers I am happy with, so those will be added with the update too.

Omg praise da lord! Your writing style is so refreshing and your plot is pretty good. I’m thirsty for more. I’m definitely keeping a look out for this one.

Also, am I the only one with a thing for sick MC’s? I love the tea. I wish there were more like it, if I have even found em all at least.

Yay!!! I’m so glad you finally posted :partying_face:
I’ve seen this wip grow so much over the last year and I’m so hype that the rest of you guys get to see it now! I know that the cliffhanger you leave us on is gonna kill me until next update.

P.S

thank you :smirk:

@peaches Thank you! It never would have been posted without you; I’d still be stuck rewriting the same 3k words over and over and over forever. And of course your art helped push me over the edge too, I couldn’t very well not post it and let the wonderful art go unseen.

I never really thought I’d be saying this, but we have hit 200 likes here on the forum and 300 followers on the tumblr! I’ve said it many times the past week, but I am so, so grateful for everyone’s support of this project, even if its so early days. It’s extremely motivating, and I will do my best to deliver something worth your interest!

In honor of these milestones, I’m going to release two shorts next week that are similar to the one I wrote for Oland (found here, if you want to take a look). I already have one for Isadora written, so that is one of the two, but I am having a poll to decide who the other character to get their short now will be. Eventually all the main characters will have a short detailing what they are up to near the start of Chapter One, this is just determining who gets theirs earliest.

If you want to vote, you can do so here!

Next week I should have some info on when to expect an update as well. Thank you one more time for all of this, it truly is overwhelming in the best way.

This game has me really interested! The quote at the very beginning does an excellent job in setting up a mystery and threat regarding the Empress. The world also in general feels very unique and almost dreamlike with the halfday, chilling cold, and weird complexities of magic. Really excited to see where the plot goes!

Stupid question, but is romancing a character necessary. I like hanging out with NPCs, but will the game make you pursue a romance to continue the story or can you avoid that?

@LynxTheElf Not necessary! No romance is a totally valid way to go.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to apologize for going a little silent this past week. I’ve got a new character short here, about the Empress’s cousin Isadora. Lewis won the poll I held for who I should write the third character short about, so expect that in the next week or two.

I’m a little behind on working on the update, which takes precedence; I am hopeful to get caught up soon. Thank you all again for your interest!

@Holtzmann Thank you so much!

For everyone: I am still very slowly plucking away at the update, I’m sorry for how long its taking! I was going to share this whenever I did update, but as a thank you for everyone’s continued patience, I’ll share it now: this is an index of everything I’ve been asked about the game so far on tumblr. If you are bored someday and curious what has been asked about the world and characters so far, give it a look! I try to update it every time I answer an ask.

I hope everyone is having a decent 2020 so far!
