I've been on a trip this whole week, but I've reserved some time to working on Patreon content, namely the Knight tier short story and the mini-game. The story only needs editing before it can be published, and centers Morgana and Accolon. The mini-game is still in progress and features Accolon's POV - the scene of chapter 3 where Mordred finds out about the prophecy, seen through his eyes.
Anyway, I'll be posting some sneak peaks of what I did write for the demo 👀
Gawain won this month's short story poll! Time for the Mordred vote. Note: the people have spoken so I have excluded the "sweet, friendly, shy" type of Mordred for this poll to give the other options a fair chance too!
2023-02-08 16:44:41 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I've been working on the next day (following Mordred's birthday) interaction scenes. So far, I've completed Gareth's, Arthur's, your dragon friend's and Gawain's. The first three scenes I've mentioned are similar to the ones immediately after the revelation, so if you didn't run to that character you still have a chance to tell them about stuff - otherwise, if you did talk with them the night before, you get a tiny bit of fluff.
Gawain's interaction also gives an opportunity f...
2023-02-03 22:22:03 +0000 UTC View PostTime to vote on the RO to be featured in the second short story of the month! Since Galahad won last time, he will be sitting out on this poll.
2023-02-03 08:35:19 +0000 UTC View PostYou stand staring down at the pitiful, crumbled shape of your snowman. It wasn't finished before it was torn down, but it was coming along nicely. You've rolled three beautiful balls of snow and neatly stacked them one on top of the other. Then you took a step back to admire your handy work, swelling with pride that would soon be mercilessly squashed.
You've noticed Alina and her cronies from a distance and unease crept up on you like ice sliding down your spine the closer she got. You ...
2023-01-28 14:18:39 +0000 UTC View PostSo this week I've mostly worked on writing and editing to get the update out, as well as fixing bugs as they came up afterwards. So since we're on the topic, I'd like to address some issues that were brought to my attention:
1. To the person reporting Gawain being at the party despite not corresponding anymore - that was a bug, he shouldn't be there. Similarly, he also shouldn't be present if you went for the "we keep in touch but we're not close; we simply send each other nice re...
2023-01-27 21:14:22 +0000 UTC View PostEDIT: The bug is fixed now - I played through myself to make sure! But you will need to restart unfortunately TWT I'm sorry for the trouble! The good side is you're getting more content, and it's all fun and fluff.
So I just realized...are none of you seeing the party hangout scenes? None of the scenes where you can play-duel with Arthur, talk with Gawain, play with Gareth, overhear Morgana's and Junia's conversation...none of these appear for anyone?
I have absolutely no idea wha...
2023-01-26 11:28:17 +0000 UTC View PostFor those still stuck on the "pass in a blur" passage, please let me know:
1. If you're replaying from beginning or using a save. The save might be the issue, though I tried to add some code to circumvent that.
2. If Mordred's corresponding with Gawain and/or Arthur.
On another note, another bug, someone reported that choosing a certain option regarding corresponding with Gawain landed them back to the list of options: did anyone else have that problem? Which choice wa...
2023-01-25 18:44:55 +0000 UTC View PostSomeone reported getting stuck on a certain scene in the update (the "days pass in a blur" passsage). It should be fixed now!

P.S: Next month's poll I'll finally be able to include some chapter 4 scenes! (from the upcoming update)
2023-01-25 11:48:55 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I've worked on some more spoilery content that I'm so excited to share with you. I'm currently writing a scene from the point of view of a certain character whose POV you haven't seen before.
Initially I wanted to finish chapter 4 this month, but I'm going to wrap things up either after the POV or include one more scene afterwards, where Mordred gets to have a conversation with that character. I need to leave myself some editing time, and I want to have the update out sometime...
2023-01-20 20:31:36 +0000 UTC View PostJanuary's chosen theme was Arthur and Mordred bonding by the river in chapter 3. Enjoy!

Continued work on the demo. I don't want to spoil too much about what scenes I'm writing right now, but I will let you know they're fraught with tension! It also involves Lot, in a way, as you might have seen from the sneak peek, which can only mean trouble 👀
I've worked on some Patreon content as well, more specifically this month's mini-game. I'm done with the writing but I need to do some editing and potential bug fixes.
2023-01-13 22:02:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe horizon looked as grim as King Lot felt.
The Camelot army had set up camp a few days ago, a sprawling expanse of scarlet-drenched tents and gilded banners proudly displaying the emblem of the Pendragon: that roaring, mighty dragon, front legs raised, ready to charge. Uther always made his presence known in the loudest, brightest way. You couldn't ignore him even if you wanted to. He wouldn't let you. And an army of thousands camping on the step of your Kingdom was certainly somethin...
2023-01-12 15:22:00 +0000 UTC View PostLot rises up from your desk chair, coming out of the shadows like a hateful apparition out of mist. He stands before you, his face the stony side of a cliff erroded by rancor and hate that, like crashing waves and furious wind, have carved deep furrows across his features.
2023-01-10 14:19:35 +0000 UTC View PostAccolon won the poll for this month's short story (no big surprise hehe)! Time to vote on the type of Mordred you wish to see featured.
2023-01-07 12:40:57 +0000 UTC View PostI'm done with all the social scenes - interacting with the guests - for the birthday party! I'm almost done with the party as a whole (just a little fragment left) and next up...there's something interesting coming 👀 Some of you may know what I'm referring to if you've been following the tumblr for a long while, but I don't want to spoil it for those who don't know! Anyway, I really do hope you'll love all the little scenes I've written with the characters at Mordred's party. I'll be posti...
2023-01-06 19:20:07 +0000 UTC View PostThis month we're choosing from friends/family/Lot, who can't claim the first and the only thing making him the second one is a piece of paper. Note: Arthur won previously so he's not going to be featured on this poll, but he will return for voting next time!
2023-01-03 13:06:57 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, aside from some minor patches, I've continued working on the demo and finished the guest arrival scenes; now I'm writing Mordred's birthday proper. It's all really sweet and fluffy :) I've also done some minor tweaks here and there in the early chapters - just a couple lines changed, though plot-wise they do make a big difference. It has to do with the Ducal family of Tintal that you meet in chapter 2, and there's still a few more details concerning them that I want to rework sligh...

2022-12-26 19:47:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo I've went through more of the feedback, and I've noticed a few people mentioning that they don't get to read the correspondence. I've played through the game too and I didn't have any issues, looked through the code and things seem fine but it can always be something small that escapes me. So, just to get this issue out of the way - where you playing with an old save or did you start from the beginning? Otherwise, in Gawain's case at least, I have an inkling it may be an issue with the var...
2022-12-26 11:33:22 +0000 UTC View PostWhen you spot Galahad at the table you know that's your chance.
You sidle up to the knight, summoning a smile that's as radiant as the morning sun blazing in through the window. It's not hard to do, either - Galahad's sight alone makes your lips curl up unwittingly.
He glances up from his plate as you slide next to him, then looks around himself to check that there is indeed space enough to host a dozen more Mordreds at the bench without need for you to sit so close. His gray gaze...
2022-12-25 09:56:48 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, I've gone through all of the feedback I've received and it all should be fixed now, but if any of the issues persist do let me know.
There's only one typo I couldn't detect because I genuinely can't remember what scene the fragment came from so if the person who reported it can tell me/someone else remembers, here's the bit: "Entrusting Arthur will your heart and trust, both already bruised and wounded."
2022-12-24 12:56:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhat's new?
Enjoy!
The update will be here a bit later today! I haven't finished chapter 4, but I'm done with all of Mordred's lectures and training scenes. What follows then is the arrival of their guests (Junia and her dads being the first to arrive) and Mordred's birthday! (very exciting...for a lot of reasons 👀)
I'll also be posting the Champion Knight and up short story over the weekend - it's done but I need to do a bit of editing/polishing before releasing it.
2022-12-23 15:01:33 +0000 UTC View PostDecember's chosen theme was Gareth checking up on Mordred after the duel between Accolon and Lancelot. Enjoy!

Wyon has a particular, peculiar way of holding his lectures. While most of your teachers prefer the cozy library, he prefers the open fields of the Castle grounds or, on hot days like this, the cool forested expense stretching past the grounds. It's not that he wouldn't fit inside the Castle; it seems to be a personal preference, and a way to immerse yourself in dragon culture. While the dragons living among humans inhabit abodes similar to the Royal Lodge, which $dragon_name calls home, the ...
2022-12-18 21:14:21 +0000 UTC View PostContinued work on chapter 4! I'm finished with Mordred's lectures and almost done with lessons altogether - there's one more scene I want to write of Mordred and their dragon training together, and then I can go on to birthday preparations and guests arriving!👀 Right now I'm working on a scene where Mordred can check their letters - from Arthur and Gawain, if you kept in touch. There's also the possibility Mordred might have cut contact with Gawain, too, for various reasons.
