Sofie laced her boots, fastened her cloak and stole out the door of her quarters. She navigated the narrow, steep cobblestone streets by moonlight and kept to the alcove of shadows, just in case one of the apprentices or priests found themselves sleepless and staring out the window. She knew all ...

So, Sophie is now...Sofie :) And you might know from tumblr that her twin's name is Magnus, which it still is (second name, at least). His first name is ...
2023-08-15 09:33:38 +0000 UTC View PostI've continued work on the demo - Mordred gets another opportunity to spend time with Elaine before the guests arrive. They retreat to Mordred's room to hang out, talk a bit, and...perhaps have another romantic moment, this one uninterrupted.
I've also written the Knight tier short st...
2023-08-11 19:53:15 +0000 UTC View PostGalahad won! Time to vote on the Mordred to be featured in this month's second short story. Last time, the vote went to the defiant Mordred who loves to challenge Galahad, both being in love yet oblivious; this option will be sitting out on this poll.
This week I've continued working on the demo - in the next update, we'll see how Mordred's magic lessons are coming along, and they'll get to read their correspondence, if they have any. I also want to do some little edits for the last update that came out (specifically, expending a bit on the co...
2023-08-04 19:53:31 +0000 UTC View PostTime to vote on the RO to be featured in the second short story of the month! Since Nimue won last time, she will be sitting out on this poll.
Just updated the demo to patch the issues that were reported (typos/bugs). Thank you so much for the help! 💕
Hope you all have an amazing week!

2023-07-28 11:11:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe chosen theme of this month was a chapter 4 scene, when the truth of their conception is revealed to Mordred. You'll get to read the conversation between them and Morgana through the latter's eyes!
So, let's have a closer peek inside Morgana's mind.
So, I'm working on wrapping up everything for this month!
The Royal Sorcerer mini-game is going up soon after I post this weekly blog, followed by a poll for next month's game theme, and I'll be posting the second short story (Champion Knight and up) either later today or tomorrow morning.<...
2023-07-28 10:44:09 +0000 UTC View Post"Well, if I knew I had such eager audience I would have put on more of a show," you say with a wink.
"Oh?" Elaine seizes you up with interest. "Well, you have your chance not only to give me a better, closer show," her hand closes around the hilt of her sheathed sword, "but to include me in...

2023-07-23 10:04:04 +0000 UTC View PostI've finished the Elaine sword-fighting scene I kept mentioning in the last weekly blog. I extended the scene with a portion I didn't initially anticipate, but I really love the resulting interactions that you get, including the opportunity for some romantic moments! Or just friendly banter, whic...
2023-07-23 10:01:06 +0000 UTC View PostBefore moving on from Tintal, Morgana wanted to visit the Temple. Surprisingly, her wish was not spurned. She was, however, punished for it with Merlin’s company.
They set off on foot in the morning, closely followed by armored, armed guards at a distance Morgana reckoned ‘respectful’...

2023-07-12 09:13:32 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks! I'm currently on vacation, but I've managed to slip in some writing. I've worked on the Knight short story for this month, which picks up where the June one left off. It was actually supposed to be one big story, but got way too big so I decided to split it up. It's not done yet, but a ...
2023-07-09 06:37:11 +0000 UTC View PostThis 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: Arthur won previously so he's not going to be featured on this poll, but he will return for voting next time!
2023-07-03 07:09:55 +0000 UTC View PostComing in a little bit late than usual since the demo update must have been pretty indicative of what I'd been up to in the last week 👀 And I wanted to see if anything came up in the feedback forms that needs mentioning or clarifying. So far it's only been typos and a small bug - I'll have the...
2023-07-02 15:43:39 +0000 UTC View PostSo, we got our first tie in a poll :) More specifically, in the POV shift mini-game poll, between Gawain's scene and Morgana's. I decided it's best to do a second round of voting to decide which one moves forward (which I really hope doesn't end in yet another tie lol, I'll just take my pick or r...

Hope you ejoy it! The whole update encompasses just the Temple visit, but there's quite a bit happening 👀
You’d sent a letter up to the Royal Sorcerer Tower, asking Nimue if she’d welcome your company. It’s been years since you were little kids, collecting seashells on the beaches of Avalon, and you’d like to reconnect as friends now that you’re in Camelot to stay. You received no note in r...

2023-06-24 20:14:34 +0000 UTC View PostFinally wrapped up the Temple scene I've kept mentioning throughout the weeks! It's still in need of polishing - editing and the likes - and there's one part where I may add a choice for Mordred to...intervene or not (keeping things vague sorry!) but otherwise I'm happy to have this scene done.

2023-06-24 08:44:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe chosen theme of this month was a chapter 3 scene, featuring Galahad as the POV. More specifically, it's the part when Mordred finds Galahad by the river in their usual spot, and decides to try either befriending or charming him.
This one actually featured quite a lot of little choices t...

2023-06-17 07:17:22 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I'm about to post the Knight short story, but before doing so, I thought I'd give some context: this one, featuring Morgana leaving Avalon and arriving in Tintal, picks up recounting the events leading up to Morgana's wedding to Lot, which started in another story - the first Knight tier stor...
