great update, and great story as usual!

could use a pass by an editor-inclined pal or so, if you can wrangle any. Nothing massive, grammar, inconsistancies, the odd typo. doesnt ruin the experience though.

I love the new additions and small changes. My Mordred seems to be building a strong circle of friendship with Gareth, Gawain, and now Elaine. Now just to get Gally back into the picture. (the future RO. =P) I'm a little surprised by our dragon's crush...Was more hoping he'd get close to Galahad's dragon to. But my Mordred is nothing if not fully supportive and loving of his friends. He'll be the best wingman his little 15y old butt can be with zero romantic experience. 

I also love that Mordred now has a shared hobby of wood whittling along with Arthur. <3 I also love that we can have a more...strained relationship with Morgana now. Mordred still loves her cause...well...she is his mom...but the trust and openess he had for her has definitely died ever since he learned the truth. Now he just tries to temper her wrath and work towards his own life goals (and not her revenge).

Done playing the demo. But I want to play the full game/book. I really like it.

One of the best IFs I think Ive ever had the pleasure of reading. Flowing prose, smart language, layered characters and motivations. Eagerly waiting for any and all future updates!

(+4)

As a positive I really wanted to mention.. I appreciate the variation you've put into the gender exploration. The nb options go from neither to both to more femme or masculine leaning across the spectrum and I adore it so much! It must have been a lot of work to code all the intricacies, but it's so dearly appreciated! Thank you!

Sorry about the multiple comments before this. Wanted to send screenshots of problems, though they may not be problems and just my unfamiliarity with flowery language. Anyways loved the update our dragon and Felix? Love it. I hope we get more scenes with Accolon and building our relationship. The entire time I read this I'm just hoping Lot sees Igraine in Mordred and it drives him crazy.

No worries, I always appreciate screenshots for typos and the likes. Thank you!

Hi, just a bug sort of. If you do the subtle flirts with Gawain and then tell Accolon about it, later that day you still wonder what it might mean with your dragon, despite just having solved that question earlier and you settle on nervous stomach or something again. I think the timing of those scenes is out of synch?


And when you meet Arthur you allude to seeing Accolon vaguely in the morning instead of the entire outing. I think it takes it that you went with Accolon to the fair the day before? The cut after Accolon's talk with you and you going out to buy sweets does not make it clear and is only implied by the fact that you apparently spend the morning with your dragon potentially meeting Galahad and spending time "till afternoon" as you did before with Accolon. But then it also says you met Gawain in the dragon lounge last night, which was before meeting Accolon. You might have to sort out which pocket dimension day our walk and talk with him belong to.. it gets a bit confusing to order the events.

Thank you! Those bits were written at different points in time and I got confused with my own timeline; I'll take a look at it and solve the issue. As for the Gawain thing - most likely a bug, will have that fixed too!

When do we get to tease Gally again though T_T I need to make him love me.

(+1)

Same!! He loves me but he doesn't know he loves me and I need to show him that but I couldn't! He hates me and I'm obsessed he's going to like me eventually😄

Right? WE MUST MAKE HIM SEE THE LIGHT

THE LIGHT I SAY

Hey! Quick question, as this is the end of the demo(Or so I've read) will we have to buy the game to finish it or do we need to sign up for Patreon? Great game, by the way, I was here when it was just 2 chapters!

It's the end of the current demo actually! Meaning the public version will still be updated (next time is when chapter 5 is complete). The Patreon version has a bit more content (you get to greet the wedding guests) but the game is still is progress.

And thank you! :)

Thank you for telling me!

(+2)

Just finished what there currently is of the game and I LOVE IT🫶😍🤩✨✨

Great work on the newest update! The end of chapter 4 genuinely made me cry.

(+1)

Hello ! I have the same issue as Nightmare7831. 

When choosing to play directly chapter 5 and premade a Mordred, I get stuck on a white page without text so I can't pass and start palying. 

It happens just after we've been asked if Mordred kept in contact with Gawain in chapter 4. (If it can help ?)

Have a nice day !

The demo works if you restart from the beginning ~!

The quick character creation should work now but let me know if you have any further issues!

Hello! I love this history but i have a bug that doesn't let me continue, i don't know why but i don't have any option to continue to the next text, if someone knows how to fix it i would love some help

Where did this bug appear?

Just before the start of Moldred birthday, if i remember correctly. Now when I try to use the save from that same run, it works, don't know how but now i can see the purple texte that let's me keep playing

(+5)(-1)

I had a thought about chapter 4, although it’s possible that this would add too much variation/complication, but when the reveal occurs, I wished there were options that were less about Morgana’s love for Mordred, and more about Mordred questioning whether they love Morgana anymore. Also would’ve liked to see some more biting options such as telling Morgana she disgusts them or things of that nature.

Out of curiosity, how far ahead is the private (patreon) demo compared to the public one? 

(+2)

The public demo was just updated with the first half of chapter 5, while the private demo has had the first half for a while, and is beginning the second half.

(+2)

I've been so excited for this update and it did NOT disappoint!

(+4)

Long have I waited.

(+2)

I've been WAITING so patiently for this to update, and I'm so happy it has been updated! Also, you put so much material into just this half of the chapter-- which is honestly impressive and much appreciated! 

Two bugs I noticed in my run and one question:

  1. When I was given the option to select which letters I received, the option for "both Arthur's and Gawain's letters" displayed the portion related to Arthur, but clicking the prompt for the next page (Gawain's letter) only brought me to an empty box where text should be, and no prompt to continue onwards. Not sure if you forgot to put in the section on Gawain, but you're so good at keeping all your stuff in order that I'm more inclined to think it's a programming issue or something like that.
  2. Towards the end of the playable section, there was one (but only one) instance where the name of the dragon didn't show up and was replaced by "$Dragon_name". Otherwise, I didn't notice any other examples of this happening.
  3. Is there a way to increase the list of characters in the "relationships" tag? I got very confused when the Solomons were mentioned and panicked because I couldn't remember if I'd met any of them before. Having that information available would be helpful for someone who forgets things if they don't interact with them for a while.

Again, this is so fun and I'm so glad this is still alive because I'm invested in my trans girl Mordred figuring out where she fits in the world and getting closer to Arthur. Also, I have to meet all the romances-- I can only see Isac Meier in the "Relationships" tab for so long before I start looking for him way before he's plot-relevant lol

Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much! ❤️

Yeah the letter issue is a bug! Did you by any chance use an older save or the quick character creation? The latter had an issue with setting Gawain related variables but it should be sorted out now. 

And I can totally do a characters list! I'm thinking of it being its own page to keep track of important names, and also historical figures so you can check it at any time and refresh your memory!

Awesome! I did use an older save, if it matters. I was so invested in the trans girl Mordred I made for myself, I didn't wanna go and do it all again lol.

Again, it's no pressure to make a character list if that would be too much-- I'm sure this takes up time to code and work through, on top of the rest of life. It's amazing, all that considered!

(+11)

i somehow made it so my dragon friend as the same personality as Galahad. and i have the same personality as Galahad's dragon... i dont know how, but i love this outcome.when im going to be able to be a blushing mess in front of Galahad again?

I lost my savess😭Is there a way to get them back???

(+3)

I think, with the way saves are stored, they can  disappear if you cleared your cache? In any case, I don't think there's a way to get them back. But an update is coming soon (by the end of the month) so I would highly recommend replaying when it comes out since I've added/changed some bits as well as tweaked with some variables. (but if anyone doesn't feel like replaying, there's also an added quick-character creation to jump into chapter 5).

No, I haven't cleared my cache, but I checked the other twine fics I have open and apparently, this happened to all of them😭😭It sucks and I don't remember a lot of the characters I played as and the choices made but it is what is

(+1)

One of the other IF authors posted that Itch.io was changing how things work and that it would affect the saves of all IF games. Unfortunately, if you hadn't saved to disk your saves prior to this change, you'll probably have to replay everything again. From now on, make sure to save to disk as your saves won't be safe.

(1 edit) (+1)

Hey, you're not the only one with that problem :)

What I did that seems to be working until now is click on the +Add to collection and "save" on your account. After that, all the games choice/interative games like this didn't lose the saves. Hope that helps 

(+6)

So difficult to make Galahad like you and eventually fall in love with you when you are in fact evil and planning on destroying the kingdom of Camelot u–u

(+4)

Based, I'm trying for a malevolent route, but I can't really find the balance between flippantly helpful, and maliciously antagonistic. 

(+6)

Bruh our mc really got complicated parents. Can't I just not to  choose side with any of them and live with my dragons instead? I hate father because how absent he is, but I hate the mother for using us as chess piece. But I love our awesome dad Accolon 💕 😂

(+6)

Im actually going crazy I NEED MORE OF THIS

(+7)(-1)

This is so good! It makes me want to try all the different responses and selections.

(+9)

Just found this game and I absolutely adore it. 

There's so much detail, so many different responses, that you really can go back, change an answer and there will be a change in what is said next. I love that. Makes me want to play every possible outcome and choice. 

I love the different POVs, it's a nice break from being Mordred, who I love but has such awful things happen to them that it's nice to step away and see what the rest of the world is up to. 

I cannot wait to read more, I didn't think I'd enjoy playing as a child but I really did, but teenage/adult Mordred is what I've been waiting for and I'm so excited to see what happens!

I've created an account for the first time on this site just to comment this: I've played a lot of IF games over the years, but this is one of the best I've come across. I'd hate to see it abandoned! Keep it going with the good updates! 👍💯

(+11)

Most people know of Merlin, Morgana and Arthur, if not from legends, then from the different adaptations/movies/tv series they have watched. Yet fewer have any prior deep knowledge of Mordred. 

This was a nice find truly, since most of the Wips/games revolve around the three most known figures of Arthurian legends. Following the birth, childhood and later, teenage and adult years, through Mordred's own POV has given me the chance to explore their psyche and complicated relationships with the people around them. 

The narrative is a masterpiece. It manages to immerse the reader(me), making me feel all sorts of emotions. The pain, the hurt, the frustration, rejecting others first before they reject you (fear of rejection/abandonment), love for parents, rage at the world. 

The interludes, shifting the pov from Mordred to Morgana and/or Arthur, give a better insight on who they are and what they are feeling at the moment of the events happening. You are going to notice how their personalities, both stay true to the legends, and have new traits added by the writer, making them compelling to read. Will have to say that most of the characters, excluding few, are in the grey area, meaning you can decide for yourself whether you like or hate them, if they are villains, normal or heroes for your Mordred.

Probably this wasn't intentional, but, while reading, it's hard to separate myself from Mordred. Feeling what they feel and when choosing options/routes, thinking of them as Mordred's decision and mine too. It doesn't help that the choices are so accurate and diverse enough for all kinds of Mordreds the players create. This is what I call a truly immersive story.

I'll have to add how much I appreciate the author adding and using the other characters from the Arthurian era legends, adding a twist to them in their own way. Those who read the story can educste themselves on this legends and search more about them.

I loved Gareth and Mordred's adoptive father in particular, and am excited to meet Nimue in the next game updates💛

I am confused, in the beginning - Arthur mentions that he and Morgana come from the same womb... but that wouldn't be true. He is not a Le Fey, he is Uther's son but not the son of the woman his father SA'ed. If he were, they'd be full siblings and know about each other. Likely, Uther fathered Arthur with a commoner or an initial wife and then stormed in an assaulted the noblewoman he forced into marriage and had Morgana with her.

(1 edit) (+13)

No, Morgana is born to a previous father, Uther killed her father and takes her mother as his bride. Arthur is then born to Morgana's mother and is hidden away.

I think they meant that Morgana is a Le Fay due to her father, not her mother. Therefore Arthur cannot be a Le Fay

(+11)

Arthur and Morgana have the same mother - Igraine - and different fathers - Uther being Arthur's, Gorlois being Morgana's. It's Igraine who is the Le Fay, so the one whose bloodline carries magic; but just having magical blood doesn't ensure one actually has active powers and is thus a sorcerer. So Igraine, Morgana and Arthur are all Le Fay but only Morgana has the magical powers. 

Also, while Morgana is not Uther's bio kid, she was legally adopted by him - it's why she thought she had a claim to the throne.

(+1)

Again, awesome game. I don't really understand what "oblivious romance options" do. How are they different from regular romance options? Maybe there's a subtlety I'm missing since this is not my first language...

English is my first language and I don't know the difference ether.

(+14)

You the player know that Modred is getting romantic feelings for the character. Modred does not. Its letting you progress a romance without Modred realizing thats what they are doing, presumably culminating in a realization moment. 

(+11)

It's essentially you being shy/oblivious about your own feelings. It's a common thing in IFs like this to provide both a 'bold/direct' and 'shy/oblivious' option, which allows you to form a romance with a character in both ways. This helps for people who want to romance a character but don't want to be a flirt, and the player can still be 'pursuing' a particular character's route, but they are permitted to be shy about it, to be the 'pursued' instead, in some cases.

(2 edits) (+8)

Hit the nail on the head. I appreciate the options, as I usually don't like to play the obvious flirt. Or I can start with oblivious flirting at the start that progresses to bold flirting once the MC grows more confident in their growing relationship with the other character.

Or in this case, Mordred is still a young kid who hasn't yet hit puberty. Starting to like and be drawn to Galahad, but not yet aware that their feelings are the beginnings of a future romance.

(+3)

The way I understand it is that the options are meant for MC's who are dense enough not to notice themselves being a naturally-somewhat-subtle flirt.

I think its like when the mc doesn't realize or understand their own romantic feeling for an RO

(+8)

you are a saint for including a dark mode, bless you

(+1)

I love IFs and this one has made it into my list. Just wanted to show support as I'm normally a comment lurker.

(+10)

I don't tend to comment often, but with itch.io being the land of abandoned projects, i feel like i should show some support.

I really do hope you can finish this, i'd hate for it to be another cool game that suddenly stops being updated with the author disappearing completely. They're completely different genres and that one's more of a sandbox, but your game is up there with Trigaea if we're talking interactive fiction on this site, and imo that's the best finished one. You're doing an amazing job.

(+3)

WOW. I honestly forgot this was a demo?? so good and so polished, I really loved it, but can anyone tell me what choices I have to make to romance Galahad? 

(+10)

Thank you! ❤ Right now, besides Mordred crushing on Galahad there's not really more to his romance. And if you're interested about increasing your relationship with him in general - don't worry too much about it, the romance/friendship takes into account all sorts of routes, whether confrontational or friendly (basically I like it when you can challenge a character/disagree with them and it actually increases the relationship points). That said, there are certain choices in chapter 3 that can get him to start seeing Mordred in a different light. Generally the nice/soft/emotional ones, as well as things like telling him you're learning the magic of the Lady of the Lake and even one occasion where you kinda challenge his ideas. Anyway, going to the river with the intention of befriending him should help mellow him a bit!

holy shit this is so good
