Sneak peek

Elaine kisses like she fights - decisive and eager. The booze doesn't dampen her expertise in the slightest, and you follow her lead, parting your lips when her tongue nudges at them. Her hands cradle your face while yours tangle in her hair, messing up your good work. She tastes, clashingly, of herb-bitter medicine and sweet wine; with your eyes closed the room starts spinning again but her mouth is there to anchor you, the buzz she offers a kind of dizzy you could crave again and again.

I'm still working on that Elaine after party scene. It's got some branching, depending on your relationship - dating, friends, friends with a crush, friends with a failed confession hanging over their heads. Without spoiling too much, Mordred has an opportunity to re-tread a certain pressing conversation with Elaine here...and actually get an answer. 

That's all for now!

I'm back!

October was a busy but fun month. The move went well and once we settled down we took a trip to Strasbourg. Pictured below me in a funky hat and a helmet, which dug into my skull. I hope for Mordred's sake that padding helps.

But just because I took the month off doesn't mean that I didn't get any writing done. I've been working on Elaine's Chapter 5 after party scene, and...

Demo patch

People reported not being able to continue to the new content from certain branches of the Galahad conversation - the issue should be fixed now!

Patreon demo update

What's new? More of chapter 5!

-Last time we left off on a Galahad scene that wasn't done yet - now it's completed!

-Alternatively, if Mordred didn't want to spend time with him, they'll get up to some other shenanigans.

-A Gawain scene exclusive to those Mordreds who distanced themselves from him to avoid heartbreak/protect Gawain.

-More Gawain content! After wrapping up the river party, Mordred gets to spent time with a friend/RO of their choice - ...

We're very close to the Patreon demo update! There's a little bit of editing left and then we're good to go.

I'm also done with the Champion Knight short story - which retells the meeting between Arthur and a hopeful Mordred in Elewen's tent (chapter 3) through the former's POV. It's in need of a bit of polishing, but it should be out sometime soon.

I've also started working on Elaine's scene - but that's for November's demo update.

I'm looking forward to share the update ...

Last week, I mentioned that I was wrapping up the river party and moving on to the following scenes, where Mordred can choose a RO/friend to spend a bit more time with before going to bed. I started off with Gawain's scene, and I'm almost finished with it - and that's where I'll cut off for September's update. I would have done more, but there's so much variation for each character, I know I won't have time to finish another in time.

I wanted to take a little time to discuss a subject t...

Hi folks! I'm here to give you a wrap-up development blog on August!

The Patreon/Kofi demo was updated on August 23, bringing with it more chapter 5 content. After catching up with Nimue, Mordred can have a more serious discussion with her - what is it she wants to tell you? Will she offer any helpful information, and can you trust her? There's also more Galahad content, which I'm sure you all Gally fans will love! ( p.s. the scene is longest if Mordred acts vastly different towards Gal...

Patreon announcement

I just wanted to let you all know I'll be taking October off, and will be pausing billing on Patreon for the duration of it. My partner and I are moving to a new place so it'll be a busy month, and I'd rather not rush the content and adding undue stress.

Happy spooky season and see you all in November!

Sneak peek

"Mordred. I need to talk to you," Gawain says and you know immediately it's not something you want to hear.

He's thoroughly sloshed. You can tell by the slurred words, the sweet wine-rank on his breath.

"Is this...the right moment?" you ask, casting your gaze about. But no one else is paying attention to you, not openly; Galahad's eyes have slid closed, himself having joined Callum in slumber.

"It has to be," Gawain argues, steeling himself. He draws a deep breath, on which...

Last week I mentioned starting on a Gawain scene - it's now finished! Next up, the little river party will get wrapped up and Mordred will have the choice to spend some alone time with a RO/friend of choice. I'm not yet sure who's scene I'll start on, but I'm currently leaning towards Gawain.

I've also written the Knight tier story, though it needs some more editing and polishing. It shows us Arthur asking Lot for a favor - claiming Mordred as his own child.

This month there'll be...

So, I finished the little bit of Galahad conversation that was left, as well as the alternative scene that takes place if Mordred doesn't sit under the willow with him. I got started on writing a Gawain scene now, which comes up for Mordreds who were previously friends/sweethearts with him but distanced themselves in order to protect him.

For those who read the Champion Knight tier short story, I hope you enjoyed it! As you may know, I've paused the mini-game perk of the Royal Sorcerer ...

Just letting you know I've been handling any bugs or typos as they come in and updating the demo; what's been reported so far should be fixed, but let me know if any issue persists!

Patreon demo update

What's new? More of chapter 5!

-More Nimue conversation - what is it she wants to tell you? Will she offer any helpful information, and can you trust her?

-Galahad time! Share a sweet moment, bicker, or try hard to ignore each other. PS the scene is longer if Mordred acts vastly different towards Galahad than they initially did when they first met. Do play around to find the variations!

Have fun! 🖤

The Patreon/Kofi update is due to come out today! I mentioned previously that the Galahad conversation was about halfway done, but after some more thinking and revision, I can say there isn't much more of it left, but since I've yet to edit that part it'll have to remain for next update.

The conversation was initially even longer but I decided to shift around some bits. One convo beat was simply moved to another future chapter 5 Gally scene. But some other certain, heavier subjects I w...

Weekly developer's blog

So, I've finished all the writing for the update - all that's left is editing. It'll contain a possible conversation with Nimue on serious matters that may interest Mordred, and a scene with Galahad which is only halfway done. I had to split it because, with all its variations, it was getting quite big. I cut it off right before the change of subject so that the content so far feels complete, but I just wanted to let you know to expect more 👀 Galahad is not quite done talking with Mordred....

Hi folks! I'm here to give you a wrap-up development blog on July!

The Patreon/Kofi demo was updated on July 17, finally picking up where chapter 5 left off. If Mordred turned down the tarot reading, the Dragon Friend has the opportunity to accept it instead, and later Mordred can have a talk with Nimue, catch up and digress into philosophical debates.

For the Knight tier, I wrote a short story from Elaine's POV, of her and Felix training and catching the attention of Galahad and ...

Working away on the Galahad scenes; it's a big one, especially when you take into account all the variations based on your relationship/attitude towards him. I'll wrap up the bits I'm working on now then move on to write the first short story for this month. I'm thinking, for the Knight tier one, to do something about the first Pendragon to take the throne of Camelot.

Galahad won the Champion Knight short story poll; I'll be putting up the Mordred personality poll soon!

Demo update

The demo has been updated with the dragon-related rewrites I've been working on for the past few months! The rewrites comprise chapter 1 throughout 3, and add a whole lot of new content with the Dragon Friend, and much more, such as a brand-new Galahad POV, as well as previous scenes with Gawain and Arthur re-worked. 

(And yes the update does include the possibility of becoming sweethearts with the Dragon Friendâ„¢)

Sneak peek! (for private demo/chapter 5)

It's a funny twist of fate that, out of all places, you and Galahad both would seek refuge under the same tree.

The heat floods your cheeks so violently, the night air hits your skin like a slap. All you're able to squeeze out of you is a small "Hi."

"Looking for a bit of quiet?" he asks, soft-spoken as to not break said quiet.

You give a short hum - it reverberates low in your throat, just above the pool of warmth in your chest. "And it seems you found the perfect spot." View Post

Sneak peek for the upcoming public update (Galahad POV edition)

Now that he's here, now that he's met Mordred, reconciling the prophecy with the person proves so much harder - the image before his eyes refuses to superpose over what he's been told, over the picture painted in his mind. And now his own heart, too, refuses to conform to what it knows it should, for the sake of Camelot - and all of the people he loves.

Sneak peek for the upcoming public update (Dragon Friend date edition)

Your gaze darts down to $dragon_name's front talons just as they look at your hands, and you're both thinking the same thing.

How do we hold hands?

Dragons would usually just hold tails, $dragon_name says, or just walk really close to each other.

Well, I don't have a tail. And if we walked very close, wouldn't you knock into me?

Hmmm. But if we held claw and hand I'd be limping along.

What if I hold my palm against...

Sneak peek

"I'm listening," you say, trying to make out Nimue's face out of the gloom. With the bonfire a distant memory, the dark bleeds your vision of color. It's a scenery ripped straight out of your mother's notebook of charcoal drawings - thick, smudgy, fuzzy lines, the suggestion of shapes and depth. Nimue looks as composed and serene as she looked at the feast, as she looked by the bonfire - like nothing could ever shake her, like anything thrown her way she's already foreseen. Perhaps she had.

Alright, the Nimue scenes I mentioned working one last week are done now!

I will be moving on to a Galahad conversation, which will be oh so varied and branching, but a delight to write. I feel like this will be a good opportunity to bond with Galahad while still being antagonistic towards each other. Call it begrudgingly bonding? Resentfully getting to know each other? Of course, there'll also be a friendly variation to the scene. As I said, much branching in this upcoming bit! (Nimue'...

I've been working on the Nimue conversation I mentioned last week (and that was added to the demo in the recent update) - and it's follow-up, which is more Nimue conversation, though this time the topic gets...more serious 👀 Without saying too much: you'll get the opportunity to ask Nimue about the prophecy.

The second short story is also done, just needs polishing and editing before I can release it! I think it's rather sweet, and I hope you'll like it too.

What's new?

-For Mordreds who become sweethearts with the Dragon Friend in chapter 3: go on a date at the tournament fair! Hold hand and claw!

The alternative route of Nimue giving the Dragon Friend a tarot reading is complete now, and I moved on to the follow-up scene, which is an optional conversation with Nimue.

The conversation is only comprised of two question options, but it's already become longer than I initially expected - and I'm really enjoying it, and I hope so will you!

I've also been taking some more notes for a Galahad conversation that'll come up afterward - I already had the beats of the convo recorded...
