Agravain's roll of thread

Agravain's whole life would come undone, all because of a roll of sewing thread. Not that their life had ever been as neat and put-together and lovely a thing as that roll. No, it had always been a tangled mess from the moment they were born, and kept growing knottier and knottier.

The roll now stood in the middle of the table, lone and accusatory, limned by a shaft of light. The thread was a beautiful, deep amethyst purple that had caught Agravain’s eye. Interest quickly turned to di...

Weekly developer's blog

Hi folks! Not much to report on beyond the fact that I've been working on the short story for this month (Knight tier and above) which features - for the first time - Agravain! I'm really excited to share it with you :) It's almost finished and will be posted at the beginning of the week.

Otherwise, I won't be posting a demo update, as I said in my last weekly blog, but I do have some little snippets from a draft I was working on for an Elaine POV that I'll be sharing soon 👀

September mini-game

The chosen theme of this month was a chapter 2 scene, more specifically Mordred and Morgana's visit in Tintal, seen through the eyes of the Duke's oldest son, Nicol. This was an interesting one!

Short story second poll

Gareth won, woohoo! Time to choose a Mordred (all with a very close relationship with Gareth, of course!)

Mini-game poll (to solve the tie!)

So, Gareth and Lot ended up at a tie, so let's make a quick second vote :) If it still ends up at a tie...I'll just randomize it!

Weekly developer's blog

This week, I've been fixing little issues that came up with the demo. Also, in terms of edits, I've added some choices in the convo with Accolon after the revelations of chapter 4; only for the routes where Mordred feels betrayed, so they can potentially voice their hurt towards him and not just Morgana. 

Otherwise, I've also been working on the mini-game for September, featuring Nicol! It's an interesting one.

There's a couple more bugs and typos left to deal with so I'll ge...

Demo edits and additions

I've updated the demo with some edits and small additions! So, let's go through the more substantial ones:

-Various typos/phrasing/issues fixed

-Added a small mention of Accolon in the Temple scene, motivating his absence

-Broke some of the longer pages into more, shorter pages, but I think they're other places too where I need to do it

-The whole mess with Elaine's romantic scene not displaying properly should now be fixed, but let me know if you're still having troub...

Short story poll

This 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: Accolon won previously so he's not going to be featured on this  poll, but he will return for voting next time!

Elaine romantic scene bug

Alright, think I figured out why people keep reporting there being missing text in the romantic variations of the scene with Elaine in Mordred's chamber. 

For anyone confused - yes, if you directly confess to Elaine or pay her a compliment, there should be text between that and the following choices, also some varying descriptions if you don't confess but still crush on her. 

There's an issue but not a bug in the code; I think part of it can be blamed on using old saves ...

Demo patch

Just wanted to let you all know I've updated the demo with fixes for the bugs reported so far! I think I caught them all but if I missed anything, please do let me know in the comments or the Google forms linked below.

I'll be coming back with some more rounds of editing later (formatting, flavor text, etc), but I wanted to get these issues out of the way as quickly as possible.

Edit: Went over some more bug reports/issues that weren't fixed properly initially and updated the dem...

Demo update

What's new?

More of chapter 5! (it's a big one)

-Mordred gets to read their correspondence, or reflect on the lack of letters

-Small magic lesson

-Spend some more time with Elaine before she's swept up in the bustle of the wedding. Have a sweet platonic moment, confess your feelings, express your concern over the marriage.

And also, edits!

Some of them very relevant in order to get the right text/choices during the Elaine scene mentione...

Caught in the thunderstorm with Galahad

It all started with a couple gloomy clouds hanging ominously on the horizon. You first took notice of them as you were talking with Saphira, one of the local dragon representatives that had called for the The Round Table's assistance. The sky had been clear when you arrived in the morning – having set flight at the crack of dawn, a fact your dragon friend would not let you forget, beaming their drowsy irritation into your head. Blame Galahad, you'd reply. He insisted we be ther...
