If Mordred is out then it's common knowledge, a lot of nobles/well-known people sort of make a little announcement so people can know to refer to them accordingly, so Nimue and Merlin know. HOWEVER some instances where characters instantly know Mordred's pronouns where they literally just came out only to someone close to them are actually errors that I'm still catching.

I think I just realized what the issue is. So, the way Twine works is that if you click/touch/hover over the box surrounding a choice, it will change color without registering as you having clicked on it. You'd think, since the choices have a dividing box, that clicking anywhere within it would work, but I forgot it's more of an aesthetic thing.  So for the choice to actually register, you need to click on the text itself. 

And to answer your question, though now you should be able to advance regularly through the game: the quick character creation is there for people who already played through the game and want to jump straight into later chapters. I added it for ease of playing when adding new chapters, since old saves can break if I make certain coding changes.

So what happens is that whichever choice you click on, it won't take you to the next passage? It's a weird issue but I don't know what's happening; I didn't hear of anyone else having this issue and I play-tested it myself and it works fine, so it sounds like it could be an issue on your end. I've heard of there sometimes being issues when playing in Chrome. Are you playing on a phone, browser or the itch app?

In chapter one of the demo, or one of the quick character creations?

If you hit the "Thank you for playing" it means you reached the end of the current demo. I know on a single playthrough it doesn't seem like much but there's a lot of variation, with scenes and some choices changing depending on how you've played your Mordred so far, not just the obvious branching of choices made in the moment.

It should be fixed now, but let me know if the issue persists, or if you have any other problems!

You need to stop sending letters entirely and in the case of the scene I'm talking about, you need to stop writing to him specifically in order to protect him (this option comes up in chapter 5) or protect yourself from heartbreak (this one appears in chapter 4) .

Thank you, Happy New Year to you too! ^^

The Chapter 4-5 Dragon Friend rewrites haven't been started on yet. I've been focusing on continuing Chapter 5 since while I loved doing the changes relating to the Dragon Friend, I needed a break to write something else. There are some Chapter 5 scenes I want to complete before I go back and do the re-writes for Chapters 4 and 5 (I'm trying to tackle them both one after another).

The upcoming public demo update will deliver on more Nimue content!

No, not yet.

Should be fixed now!

Just to narrow it down - what personality type was the Dragon Friend? Also, what was Mordred's attitude towards Arthur?

Thank you! ❤

really??? huh. For people who can't play through neocities, I could provide a downloadable version of my game through Tumblr/Patreon/Kofi. Of course, the game will also be here on itchio as long as it doesn't get removed by the site. 

In chapter 6 Mordred will be 18-19

there's no planned/standard time between them; i just update the public demo when i feel there's enough new content for a bigger update - patreon/kofi usually gets all the monthly progress i've done, so it's smaller but more frequent updates.

Yep! It's a fairly recent development (which is to say, it's almost a year since I made the decision) which came around the time I started the rewrites to better flesh out the Dragon Friend character and add more content with them.

If you're following my itchio account you'll be notified when a demo update is up (through a devlog notification).

If you want to see a monthly developer's blog with what I've been working on, you can follow me on tumblr at https://www.tumblr.com/blog/llamagirl28 (tho I think I'll start posting these monthly devlogs here on itchio too, for people who may not use tumblr)

You're locked into that romance path until you break up, at which point you can romance someone else - at least in book 1, at designated points. Beyond book 1, once you're in a romance, if you break up, you can't get with someone else. 

The most recent update is no longer compatible with older saves; it's not something I can really fix, unfortunately.

Hi! Unfortunately, I don't really have a solution to this. Something about the updates (the new variables, perhaps, maybe the fact that it's a different file/copy) has destroyed old saves. Sorry for the trouble!

I'm on it, trying to figure out what went wrong. Will update as soon as it's fixed, sorry for the trouble!

Edit: It should work now, please let me know if you have any further issues with it.

Thank you! ❤ The fully released game will be paid (tho I don't have a price in mind yet, it's something I'll work out once it's done). My plan is to have it available both in browser and for download.

Thank you! ❤ And to answer your question, no. You can go for Gawain in chapter 3 (and 4, and 5), and break up later (on good terms or not) and pursue other ROs.

Yes! Thanks for asking. Progress is steady but slow. I had a couple bad months (health-wise) , but now I'm feeling better. There isn't enough content yet for a public update, but I've been postig little updates to the demo on Patreon and ko-fi. I've been working on rewriting and expanding on the content featuring  the dragon companion, and once I'm done with all of it there will be a public update, however I cannot give you an estimate as to when that would be yet.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Nope, the dragon friend is not a romantic option. The choice you're referring to wasn't meant as romantic jealousy, but the sort of jealousy that could crop up in a friendship. Granted, it's not handled very well because I do just randomly introduce it in the middle of chapter 5 and then drop it; it's when the idea came to me, and I was sort of testing it out before committing to the route. 

I haven't got round to making edits; writing in general has been slower because of health issues I've been experiencing, but I listened to the feedback and I do intent to revise the demo.

Thank you for the feedback! I admit, looking back on chapter 4 I did get way too carried away with descriptions and the slice of life aspect of it...I'm planning on going back and revising it, as well as taking out certain superfluous bits and editing scenes.

Yep! (I've just been dealing with some health issues and haven't always been able to write so much)

It's my bad for not updating my various profiles but while my other game, SINY, is not abandoned, neither is it an active project right now. BoC is my main focus and priority, and it's taken me so much to update lately because of health issues I'm still treating. And no, I have no interest in having a ghost writer (if that would even be feasible). I quite enjoy the whole process of writing itself, you know? 

The full version of BoC will be available for purchase, though I have no idea of the price as of right now.

Thank you! ❤ And will have that bug handled.

Thank you for the feedback. You're not the first one to raise such concerns regarding pacing/lore dumping, and I've thought about it all and decided I will be making edits to the chapters in question (as well as other changes I've planned, like introducing Guin earlier). Now, I don't know exactly when I'll get round to doing that - if I'll manage by the next public update - but it's something I've noted and made plans for. 

Regarding the dragons, I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean? I'll admit I'm quite unsatisfied with the current dragon friend personalities, and I have the intention to change things - instead of choosing one big trait, which I feel have turned the way I write the dragon friend rather one-dimensional, I'll be adopting a different approach, using  "archetypes" in order to go more in depth with the characterization.

And yes, Mordred can romance Galahad while antagonizing him!

Again, thank you so much for the feedback! ❤

I'm so glad you enjoyed those :) 

thank you for the tip! I'll edit all those instances at some point, i know they don't look great with the gaps 😅

Writer here, come to confirm what others have already helpfully said:  it's the puberty potion option, that's specifically there to open up choices for trans/non-binary Mordred. (clothes have nothing to do with it, Mordred can choose to wear whatever, cis or trans).

As Over the Moon said, BoC is very much active! I've just had ups and downs in my recovery with nerve entrapment and haven't always been able to write much.

Nope, the issue is just with the text in the stat page. Though of course if you notice something strange in the story itself do let me know!

Not yet! What I can tell you is that the next public update will be the second half of chapter 5.

Hi and thank you! It's still a work in progress. The Patreon version is ahead of the public demo, though currently not by a lot, just the arrival of the wedding guests in chapter 5.
