Dev Log #8 – NEW POSTER & VISUALS and Chapter 3 Progress

The Eclipse Mage
A downloadable The Eclipse Mage for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Why the change? Well, the old poster was okay, but visually, it didn’t really match the game’s overall style. The new one fits the atmosphere much better, and it’s animated! (On itch, you can see the animated preview.)

Hopefully, this will make The Eclipse Mage even more visually appealing to new players. 😊

As for Chapter 3, progress is going well… though not quite as smoothly as I’d like. I’ve rewritten parts of the script several times because I just wasn’t satisfied with how the story developed. Moments like this remind me that I’m not a professional writer, and, honestly, it hurts.

But as I mentioned in earlier dev logs, my goal is to finish the game first and perfect it later. So right now, I’m focusing on making Chapter 3 good enough to move forward.

On the bright side, there won’t be too many new backgrounds this time, and there will be new illustrations I’m really excited about!

Overall, my goal is to finish and release Chapter 3 by the end of November.
