Myrddin is so nice and interesting! He is also very fun to talk to. I hope this isn't the end of our interactions, because I enjoy spending time with him.
Thanks for playing! I’m sure Myrddin enjoyed his time with you just as much, if not more.
...After all, he went through quite a bit just to talk to you.
This is only a prototype, more of a first look at the idea. Who knows, maybe there will be many more (and better) ways to interact with him in the future.
Thanks again, and kind regards!
Hmm, interesting question. If, and it is a big if, I continue development, the possibility of such a route isn’t slim. It would likely be an optional path, though not in the typical “dating sim” style. The game is still a psychological horror, focused more on the mental and emotional aspects.
So, to give a vague answer, it’s possible, but with a touch of complicated flavor!
(P.S. Please don’t hesitate to ask as many questions as you want, if there’s even anything else to ask, haha.)
May I ask what would keep you from continuing the game? I mean, I can wait a year or multiple years if it's a guaranteed certainty that it would be continued.
I must confess that I cannot stop thinking about that ending, and if there is no continuation, I may very well go mad.
Mostly, I just want to see Myrddin again. So sorry if my question is too personal or comes across as rude.
Please don’t be. It’s a perfectly reasonable question, and I’m actually quite honored that you even asked it.
I’ll be blunt and honest. This might seem like a superficial reason, which it is, but I think it comes down to simple interest. That’s the main motivational factor for me. Of course, I don’t expect anything big, but if a small community were to form over time, a tiny one, that alone would really motivate me.
I hope this doesn’t sound like I don’t enjoy working on it. I truly do, and I often think about ways to improve things every day. It’s just that it takes a lot of time and energy, and unfortunately, I don’t currently have the luxury to spend too much time on projects that, to put it harshly, aren’t very beneficial. Maybe if things change someday, then absolutely, I wouldn’t care about any of that, as long as there’s at least one person out there enjoying it.
If I do continue working on it, I don’t think it would take too long to finish what I have in mind. At most, maybe a year, and that’s only if I get really lazy.
I hope this answer isn’t too much of a letdown.
Thank you!
I couldn't stop thinking about Myrddin, so I had to release my thoughts, somehow.
I wrote this...drabble? Short story? To let my feelings out, and I'm sending you the link in case you want to check it out.
And, do let me know if there is any issue with using your game to write a story. I did add a disclaimer, however.

There is no issue whatsoever!
As someone who occasionally sketches story drafts myself, it is quite a unique feeling to see someone else use one of my characters as the main focus of their story. It is a mix of joy and… astonishment? I am very flattered.
Of course, I checked it out, and I have to say you are really good at creating an engaging atmosphere and conveying emotions through your writing. I especially have to compliment the way you summarized the whole game without losing any sense of immersion, allowing the reader to experience your emotions as if they were their own. Hats off!
…Oops, I accidentally drifted into writing a little review, my bad.
Still, it does make me curious. If your thoughts were this strong from what you experienced, how would your reaction be to the full package? After all, this was just a 7-day project, with many things cut or left out. I might actually give you a heartache if a full story for Myrddin ever gets completed...
All jokes aside, thank you very much!
This might sound a bit exaggerated, but just knowing that you not only thought about Myrddin after finishing the game, but also took the time to plan what you wanted to write, then actually wrote and published it, that is a lot of effort, and I am truly grateful for it.
I am so happy that you like my writing so much! I honestly just wrote what I felt at that moment, and it all came flowing out. The real credit goes to you, however; without your character, no story would have been created.
I was only inspired to write it because of Myrddin, after all.
That's okay, I love reviews! Especially positive ones. ^-^
I must admit, the thought of a longer, fully fleshed out version of the game, makes my heart pound. I'm actually embarrassed by how excited I became at the very idea of it.
But, that is a good thing, because if a full version of the game does get released, it would make me so happy!
It was no effort at all. If I let my thoughts drift, it is easy to imagine interacting with Myrddin, and how we would engage in conversation.
I must thank you for introducing me to such a wonderful character. For that, I am truly grateful.
