Weekly developer's blog

Hi folks! This last week, I've been working on the demo some more, focusing especially on editing what I've written for this upcoming update. I've also recorded some more drafts for upcoming scenes featuring the dragon friend.

I'm also in the process of writing the second short story - for ...

Second short story poll - Mordred Edition™

The fierce, abrasive dragon friend won. Time to vote on Mordred's personality.

Nimue and Merlin go out on an adventure

It was a perfect day to go traipsing in the woods so, with her mind and pack alike made up, Nimue went to convince her father of the same. She showed up to his tower study, where he was already nose deep in his weighty tomes of magic, and laid out her arguments with patient confidence. Firstly, s...

Weekly developer's blog

I've continued work on the demo, and for a change, the scene I've been rewriting is not one that features the dragon friend (though they are mentioned). It's the part where Mordred and Arthur have a secret meeting on the second night of the tournament.

I've also been working on the Knight ...

Second short story poll - Dragon Edition™

The Dragon Friend™, who has been newly announced as a RO, has won this month's short story poll! Time to vote on their archetype!

Second short story poll

Time to vote on the RO to be featured in the second short story of the month! The vote was close, but Gawain and Galahad are back on the poll now! Agravain will be sitting this round out however, since they won last time.

Weekly developer's blog

I've finished re-writing the scenes during the first day of the tournament when you can go talk to Gawain and co. or stay by your dragon friend's side (in which case you might still get some new company).

I've also decided on this month's Knight Tier short story, which will feature Nimue's...

Quick poll

Yet again doing a quick poll to ask for your opinion on the matter of the short story poll of this month - which will feature the ROs. Last three times Gawain and Galahad were exclu...

Demo update

What's new?

-The update finishes the re-written dragon friend scene that was added at the beginning of the month.

-There's also a couple dragon lore-related changes to the first night's feast scene.

-I've also begun editing the tournament scenes. Now we see Mo...

Mordred and Morgana go to the theatre

Your thirteenth birthday came and went, marking a year since your life has been turned upside down. On the surface, nothing much changed; you had the same guests and none made any reference to the fateful event the year prior. Junia and her fathers visited, like they've always done, but no longer...

Weekly developer's blog

Happy holidays everyone! I'm currently working on the demo to wrap things up for this month's update, as well as writing the second short story featuring Morgana and Mordred.

Weekly developer's blog

Hi folks! The dragon scene mentioned last time is almost done, just needs some more polishing.

I've also completed and posted the Knight Tier short story.

Other than that I've been recording notes for the upcoming new dragon friend scenes.  I've planned out in detail all the lit...

Musings on kingship

Arthur was not fit to be king. 

It was a realization he kept coming back to. It had come to him in the dark, lonely hours of the night, tangled in his sweat-soaked bed sheets. It had come to him in a wave of nausea as he stood before the hungry eyes of the crowd. There were so many exp...

December short story poll #3

For this month we have Morgana with a strained - but not cold -relationship. Time to decide on Mordred's personality!

December short story poll

We're gonna split this into two polls, first to decide the dynamic between Mordred and Morgana, then to choose Mordred's personality. The story will take place after chapter 4.

Weekly developer's blog

Hi folks! I've been drafting the Knight Tier short story for this month. It features Arthur's POV and a small moment between him and Lancelot.

I've also continued working on the demo, finishing up the dragon scene from the last update.

I've also been playing around with the Google Do...

December 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.

But, to shake things up, I've decided to only include Morgana and Lot on this poll, since they've never won so far and the others have all won previ...

Demo update

What's new?

-This month's update features another of the dragon friend scenes from chapter 3 rewritten, in which Mordred gets to tell their companion about their encounter with Arthur.

I've had a lot of fun with writing the different reactions of the dragon friend ...

Weekly developer's blog

First off, I want to start by addressing the update. It was supposed to be posted now, but I'm dealing with an annoying, baffling bug I haven't figured out yet. I won't be changing the demo password this time, so even those who are no longer subscribed during December will be able to access the a...

Outing with Mordred

They had arranged to meet one hour before the play started. It was Mordred who had suggested that, which relieved Agravain of having to ask themselves and face possible rejection.

They’d dressed up for the occasion – put on their best black shirt and leather jerkin, slipped on the silve...

The tournament

It would be the last tournament that Tintal hosted before the Continent descended into chaos. What Igraine now saw as bad augurs, were then mere grievances. But warnings became threats. Dark clouds on the horizon turning to thunderstorm. A gash on the hand that you thought would pass, left to fes...

Sneak peek

"It's a thoughtful gift, isn't it?" you say. Something tender - hope - seeps into your voice. "I think it means he cares. That he'll finally try to be here for me." The corner of your mouth twitches, unsure whether to bloom into a full smile yet.

$dragon_name says nothing, merely puts the f...

Weekly developer's blog

I've continued work on the demo, still on the same dragon friend scene mentioned last time; I've also started properly writing the Knight tier short story, which I'm very excited about. Since it shows us a look into Igraine's mind, and a look at her family, I thought I'd offer you some Le Fay lor...

Second short story poll

Agravain won, let's gooo! Time to vote on the Mordred to be featured in this month's second short story.

Weekly developer's blog

I've been working on the demo, on rewriting the next chapter 3 scene featuring the dragon friend, which sees Mordred telling them about their encounter with Arthur.

Also, while I haven't properly started writing it, I have decided on the Knight tier short story for this month and plotted it...

November short story poll

Time to vote on the RO to be featured in the second short story of the month! As per the vote, Gawain and Galahad were excluded, and Isac was also taken off since they won last time.

Quick poll

Yet again doing a quick poll to ask for your opinion on the matter of the short story poll of this month - which will feature the ROs. Last two times Gawain and Galahad were excluded to allow other characters to shine. (And Agravain and Isac both got wins since then!)

So! Should I keep Gawa...

Demo update

What's new?

-This month's update is a short one: another of the dragon friend scenes rewritten, this time in chapter 3, specifically after Mordred meets Arthur; the scene where you go find your draconic companion has now been changed and expanded a bit, to better showcase...

Encounter in the gardens

You have to get away from the feast before you unravel. You’re barely holding yourself together, the snagged threads of your composure slipping through your fingers. You find the balcony doors open and you flee through them, down the marble steps, away from the dizzying brightness into the shad...

Arthur meets Guinevere

It would be the first time Arthur met Guinevere properly. They’d seen each other before, always in formal, stuffy settings: at tournaments and parties, when he was still a carefree squire, then at his ascension to the throne, when Ducal families were paraded before him, a dizzying blur of names...
