Small devlog update
Hello everyone! I have some very lovely asks in my inbox but I won’t be able to answer them for a little while longer. I’m sorry for the wait, but sadly I’m really busy right now. I’ll be back to answering questions from around the 11th of September or so. After that I’ll also be able to start working on the game again. Any updates will be slow since this is just a side project while I focus on school, but I really am excited to get back to writing. See you soon!

I love a good, "There's only one horse so we have to ride together," situation. If Morgaine/Lancelot were to find themselves in this scenario, how would Morgaine react in crushing stage?
I must say I adore all the recent love for Morgaine. Thank you for the ask!
This kind of a situation might just come up in the game 😄 So I'll answer a bit vaguely.
In the crushing stage, Morgaine would pretend to be highly annoyed and would be really stiff at first. She would certainly act like she doesn't want to be that close to anyone, much less Lancelot. But on the inside she would secretly wish for the road to be longer

Hello! I have a few questions :) first, I was wondering how old are the RO’s and MC? And second, how tall are the RO’s? Thank you!
Hello!
So far I plan to have three 'life stages', with the third being the longest. At first life stage, Lancelot will be 10 years old as well as Gawaine, Morgaine and Arthur. Gwyn will be a year older.
Second life stage will probably be set at seventeen or eighteen for Lancelot. And third will be when they're around twenty.
For the heights, I made a chart! This is the ROs at full height (already during the second life stage):
During the First life stage at ten, Gawaine is taller than Arthur 😄 At that time Arthur is on the smaller side and Gawaine has average height for a kid. Morgaine has always been tall and Gwyn's height sticks around the average numbers.
Galahad will also grow up to be pretty tall, but similarly to Arthur, he's on the smaller side when he's still a little kid.

sparring match you say from the last ask 👀 it got me thinking and now i have to ask… in a fight between lancelot and arthur, who wins? and what about lance vs gawaine? hehe hope you’re doing well!!
Thank you for the ask! I hope you're doing well too 🤗
With Arthur and Lancelot, they're pretty evenly matched. Watching their fights can be almost mesmerizing. I would say Arthur wins slightly more but Lancelot still makes him really work for it and often it's a tie.
Lancelot is one of the few people who can best Arthur in a sword fight. (As Lancelot might love to remind him, if you play them that way).
Lance vs Gawaine most often ends with Lancelot winning. If Gawaine has his daggers and not a sword, it's slightly harder fight.
Lancelot sparring with any other knight from Camelot will almost always end with Lance winning. They will be (in time) considered Arthur's best knight after all 😄

if the ro’s had a particularly rough day, how would they want to be comforted?? ty!
Thank you for the ask! If it was a particularly hard day, all the ROs would love hugs or any other show of affection as well, but I wanted to have more specific answers for each of them.
Morgaine would love to make a cup of hot tea or have someone make it for them. The ritual itself would help to calm them down a bit, but what she would love the most is to talk with Lancelot, the steaming cups between their intertwined hands across the table.
Gwyn would love to head into the woods, the place where they feel most secure and at home. They would like to walk through the meadows and flower fields in the forest with Lancelot at their side.
Arthur would feel comforted just being in Lancelot's company, both doing something mundane in the same room, in a comfortable silence. Just Lancelot staying would mean a lot. He would also like a sparring match.
Gawaine would like to talk about what happened and to have Lancelot reassure them. They would also seek out their favorite food and would prefer to stay close to Lancelot and their friends.

What romantic gestures would make Morgaine feel absolutely soft from the inside out?
Thank you for the ask! I'm happy to know someone is curious about them. (Morgaine uses both she/her and they/them pronouns and I wanted the answer to reflect that. Sorry if it's a bit messy 😄)
Morgaine would love if Lancelot refered to them as their significant other/love in public. She grew up thinking she had to hide so much of herself that having someone be open about their relationship and proud of it would make her feel incredibly soft on the inside. Pre-relationship I think they would really love Lancelot being proud of being their friend as well. She never really had many friends..
They would also adore Lancelot pulling them closer by their waist and holding them, or gestures like Lancelot lending them their cloak when it's cold. And, of course, doing the same for Lancelot and Lancelot liking it, that would make her really soft on the inside as well.

Absolutely a sucker for the “ARE YOU HURT” once over. The wandering hands, frantically checking for blood or pain just SOMETHING. ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of what they might find while searching. The panicked look on the face of the person doing the checking, the glossy, confused “I’m fine” from the person being checked. HOO BOY just inject that shit right into my veins

i love jealous ro’s !! im curious, what are the ro’s first reactions to discovering they have a crush on Lancelot? thanks 🙏
Thank you for the ask! I decided to go with their thoughts as you'll be able to see some of their reactions in game.
Arthur: Yeah, so you love them you dumbass. Now what? It's not like it's going to change anything. Protect their back as always, don't lean into their touch too much and you'll be fine. It'll be fine.
Morgaine: Lancelot is so stupid and so annoyingly pretty like who do they think they are constantly showing up and talking to me like they actually care -- oh.
Gwyn: That makes sense, I've been thinking about their eyes way too much. They're really pretty aren't they? I wish I could see them right now. Maybe Lancelot is free? I should check.
Gawaine: ....no...don't tell me I now have a crush on both of them?? that can't be...Gawaine, you idiot, way to ruin everything...
..Okay, enough with the pity party. You can do this, one crush or two what's the difference? Act like normal. Having them as friends is the greatest thing that's ever happened to you. Don't screw it up. You got this.

trans mc, yay or nay?🤨
Yay!
So far I plan to have an option for Lancelot to say that they've identified as trans and/or have transitioned at the beginning of the second and third life stages. Meaning it was something that happened in between the years that skip between each stage.
For the first live stage (10 years old) I plan to have moments in which Lancelot will be able to express their thoughts about their gender identity and do some small changes if they wish to. Soon after they come to Camelot they'll also meet a trans knight that will help them figure out some stuff if they need to.
There're will also be an option to change pronouns for Lancelot at the beginning of each step and again, there'll be some moments during the first life stage where Lancelot can choose to switch to different pronouns.

It's Chapter 2 release time! It’s finally here!
First of all, I want to say thank you everyone for your patience and enthusiasm for this chapter! It's a huge chapter with more than 55K words and split into two files (although readers won't probably notice it when reading) with quite a lot of variations and flavour texts. Now, the total word count for all chapters available is around 78.5K words.
For old readers who have previously played the Prologue and Chapter 1, I think this update will break the old saves and I recommend to play from the beginning since I've tweaked some stuff in both Prologue and Chapter 1.
If you guys have Choice of Games Forum account, I need you guys' help to please send screenshots of your MC's abilities, skills, personalities, and hidden stats (I've enabled readers to see hidden stats in the stats screen for this update) there on the thread.
It will help me a lot in balancing and setting the stats checks that will come into play in the next chapter, since Chapter 2 will be the last chapter for any abilities and skills stat increase. I would recommend focusing on one primary skill and getting a bit on one more skill as a secondary one, instead of trying to be a jack-of-all-trades. While for the abilities (grav and umbra), it's up to you guys, but I think there will always be one that will be higher than the other one.
Without further ado, some things you guys will be able to do this chapter include:
More MC customization options.
Have breakfast with Ash.
Visit your dad's grave.
Attend your birthday party.
Meet Rin and Takashi.
Talk and get to know a bit more about the other characters.
Receive some awesome birthday presents.
And many other stuff I haven't mentioned yet that I can't wait for you guys to enjoy!
Some minor stuff I've updated previously or on this update that I just want to bring into attention to:
Added toggle function for MC's patronymic name in the stat screen. It'll automatically be turned on in the beginning, and if you don't think your MC's name fits with the Russian naming convention, then feel free to toggle it off in the stat screen.
Female MC can now insert their own feminine form of custom surnames (mostly for Slavic surnames such as "Kozlov" turning into "Kozlova") while still keeping the MC's dad's surname in masculine form.
I've added Luka's artbreeder picture in his character guide stat screen.
I've tweaked the killer's little taunt in the Prologue.
I've removed the options to increase umbra or grav when the teacher sings praises about MC to MC's dad to help remove the dilemma for readers.
[DEMO] — [COG FORUM THREAD] — [INTRO POST]
#congrats!!#i'm super excited to play#I really love this game#demo update#interactive fiction wip#other games

your story sounds so cool!! i can’t wait to know more about the ro’s, your characters sound amazing :) question, how do the ro’s act when they’re jealous? and how are they ranked between most and least jealous? thank you ❤️❤️
Thank you, that's so nice to hear! ♥️
First I want to say that strong friendships will be a huge part of the game and many ROs will have unbreakable bonds with each other as well as other characters. So any jealousy will be only towards someone who has romantic intentions with Lancelot. (And who is not part of the poly).
The only exception is the 'first life stage' in which Lancelot and the ROs are around 10 years old. During that time, one or two of the characters might be jealous over Lancelot choosing to spend more time with someone else. They're young kids who want the attention of their friend 😄
The ROs ranked from most to least jealous:
Morgaine > Arthur = Gwyn > Gawaine
Morgaine will act colder than ice towards the other person and will be obviously displeased, even acting colder than usual to Lancelot.
Arthur and Gawaine will both feel self-contious, but both show it differently.
Arthur's teeth will press together almost painfully, his whole body tense. He'll try to pretend like he doesn't care, but he'll be quite rude to 'the annoyance'. Since he's always pretty rude, chances are not many people will notice his jealousy 😄
Gawaine on the other hand will become quieter, his smiles more strained. He'll try to push the feeling down.
Jealous Gwyn will become snarky towards the person and a lot more touchy towards Lancelot. They won't like being even a step apart.

Hello! How easily flustered are the RO’s? <3
Hello! Thank you for the ask 🤗
The ROs from the most to least easily frustered (by someone they like):
Arthur > Gawaine > Morgaine > Gwyn
It might be surprising to some, but Arthur in love is very easily flustered! Contrary to his angry exterior, he's quite good at reading people. So if someone says something nice and means it? Someone he's close to? He internally dies a little. Sure, he tries to hide it, often behind an intense glare, maybe a light shove..but his skin still flushes pretty pink 😄
Gawaine is not much better. Encouraging others and being their 'hypeman' is their usual behavior but to have it mirrored back? To have someone compliment them with honesty and admiration? They'll be a blushing (but beaming) mess if they don't expect it
Morgaine is usually very level-headed and calm but when with someone she truly likes she can become quite flustered. She often tries to hide it by turning away from the person she's talking to
Gwyn can be flustered by right words or actions, but it's certainly more rare for them. Usually the nice words of the person they like will give them a confidence boost and make them feel good. To truly fluster them, they must be caught off guard

hello!! i was wondering, what do all of the ro’s look like? ty! hope you’re doing well :)
Sorry for not answering this ask sooner! As a reward for waiting, the response is quite long 🤗
Arthur - Arthur's hair is the colour of the sun and slightly parted on the side, messy strands falling into his face. His eyes are bright amber, almost like molten gold but warmer, oranges and yellows swirling inside them. They're most often narrowed into an intense gaze. As a child he's smaller than most but in a few years he's one of the tallest knights in the castle. He has fair skin and lean build.
Gawaine - Gawaine's hair is light brown, soft and slightly wavy. For both male and female Gawaine they keep their hair slightly grown out, strands falling into their sea-green eyes. They're average height when a child but grow up to be the shortest knight in Camelot. After childhood, they gain a scar across the left side of their brow and partway down to their cheek. Though they have many insecurities, the scar is not one of them. They couldn't be prouder of how they got it. Besides, Galahad says it makes them look cool. They have olive skin and are of similiar build as Arthur.
Gwyn - They have bronze skin and a light dusting of freckles on their face. Their hair is longer, falling slightly above their shoulders with little braids in between the loose strands and woven with inctricate metal. The purple eyes under their bushy brows are often wide with wonder. They're of average height and build and prefer to walk barefoot.
Morgaine - Morgaine has pale skin and long, wavy hair the colour of onyx falling down almost to her waist. Her eyes are deep emerald, often cold and though her face is made up of soft lines, she tries her best to appear unapproachable. They're almost as tall as Arthur, often arguing with him who is taller. She is quite weak in muscle and prefers to keep it that way.
Thank you for the ask! Hope you're going well too

battle couples has gotta be one of my favorite tropes though. The “you got me?” “Yeah, I got you.” The kiss for good luck. Fighting alongside each other for so long they know every strength and weakness. The dichotomy of being fucking terrifying to their enemies, but so soft with each other. When one is in danger and the other goes feral, protects them at any cost. When everything is over and done, it’s all “let me see where you’re hurt,” and washing off the dirt and blood.
