The Bastard of Camelot

HMMMMMM WHY DOE THIS REMINDS OF.... four knights of the apocalypse

Is this still in progress?

I really really want the author to add a path where instead of Arthur,mordred takes revenge on merlin..an execution or life imprisonment of merlin instead,I want mordred to make that demand from Arthur to make amends along with another demand of claiming him as his son and giving back the Le fay lands and title back to Morgana officially or if he decides not to he will lose connection with him yet again and he will only have himself to blame..i want merlin to pay for he had done to my poor mordred,I want this to be a middle path avaible only if you have hostile yet fatherly embrace seeking relationship with Arthur..comeon like I feel bad for mordred and Arthur too like that kid deserve happiness and his father...plus i don't get why on the path of a civial relationship with Arthur we get introduced with gunivere and develop a good relationship with her,like shouldn't that be left to the player plus it kinda don't make sense she is like the our step mom,a replacement for both mordred and Morgana..if anything mordred should despise her..like I would,she didn't only stole mordred mums place as the Queen but also was used as a side plan to provide Arthur another heir but thankfully Morgana curse prevented that,i want mordred to be on another path too which is netrual neither good or bad where he does get his justice and birthright but does punish everyone (not through bloodsheed) who wronged him not only merlin but his daughter as well along with mordred step dad..i don't want mordred to execute them but imprison them for nimbyue i would like to punish her to captivity,deprived of her magic  for not only her father's sins  but for her to not even once taking accountability of what torment her father compelled mordred to face,a torment which deprived him of his father and birthright for years while she had the privilege of having a father and for merlin I would imprison him with the knowledge that his daughter is experiencing the same hurt that mordred did all those year's basically for merlin I want the worst of the worst mental torture which he deserves,for mordred step dad I would like to take all of his titles,Wealth everything from him,give it moragana and expel him from Camelot and avalon to never ever return,for sir lancelot well i would like to strip him off his knighthood the very thing he finds pride in..and for the priestess who insulted our mother in lady of the lake,I would like to also strip her off her priesthood and expeal her from camelot,I don't think this all would make mordred cruel but just as all of these people where complicit in bringing him pain most of all merlin

Hey hey!
I've been enjoying the game so far, so there's nothing to criticize, but I had a quick question: My Mordred is female, but along the gameplay I've picked a few options that generally speak against the traditional female gender role, such as "I love dresses, but I don't want to be required to wear them".

Then, Morgana responded with something along the lines of "I'll support whatever decision you make", which back then I thought meant the dresses part. But fast forward to chapter four, I pick the Puberty Potion option, which leads me to following options:

"If you mean how I'd like people to refer to me, I don't quite know yet."   

"I think I'd like people to start referring to me as he."

"I think I'd like people to start referring to me as they."

So I hope I didn't accidentally make my Mordred become transgender, because I identify as a cisgender  female.

So I'm a bit confused on this but what exactly does it mean by oblivious romance?????

PLEASE DON'T LET THIS BE DEAD!!!!! IT'S SO GOOD!!!

Amazing writing, but small twine coding detail: the <<silently>> command could be used to clean up the massive blank spaces left at the bottom of some passages. That way code and hidden choices don't add extra line breaks to the passage and make them super long.

Is it weird that my favorite part is your really well thought out lesson plan? Thank you for being so conscientious about it, it felt so very reasonable and served as a great intro to the lore as we learn alongside our little protagonist!

Just finished reading up to the end of the current demo and overall I really enjoyed it! 😀

To start with, I'll talk about the parts I had some problems with. There were some points during the last two chapters (3 & 4) while Mordred was going about his daily life/lessons when nothing much was happening and it just felt like a bit of an info (lore) dump. I other words, it sort of dragged and I began to lose interest and skimmed. I wanted to be honest about my personal experience here even if it might not be the glowing praise some would give. Skimming is a subconscious reaction for me when my brain stops feeling engaged and searches for the next point of interest in a story. I'm not saying it was that way for other readers, but it was so far me.

I also lost some interest in the dragons, which somehow feel a little too normalised now, even mundane, and my 'fierce' dragon feels quite tame. I feel it's become a bit lax in upholding that sense of wonder that, as bonded as we may be with our dragon, we should still feel from time to time over these powerful creatures. I also feel that, due to being a Pendragon/Dragonblood, our insight and connection with dragons in general, even if we're cautious in not showing it, should still feel more profound then it does. Like we just perceive them on a level that others (besides Arthur) cannot, even if we're not actively engaging them. I still don't really get that vibe from it.

But other than those bits, I found your writing style is very mature and polished. I really love the way you portray Morgana - she genuinely feels as powerful and formidable as she should feel, and I think she is the character you write best. I'm always interested to see what she'll do next and what little (or not-so-little) schemes she's got cooking. Really nice. Our Mordred is also a well written MC - suitably complex. Lastly, I'm enjoying the building yet conflicted relationship between Mordred and Arthur - I'm really intrigued to see the future difficulties the relationship faces as the two grow closer and Arthur becomes even more conflicted between his trust in Merlin's prophecy and his own (potential) desire to recognise Mordred as his successor, and of course the potential public fallout of such a revelation. But I suppose that's all quite far in the future!
Most importantly, I felt disappointed when I reached the end of the demo and there was no more for now, which is always a good sign. 😊

I also hope we see more of Galahad soon - my male Mordred's chosen LI. So far the parts with him have been my favourite parts of this story (what can I say? I'm a sucker for the enemies-to-lovers trope). I enjoyed the nature of Mordred's relationship with him during our first meeting, and how by the end Galahad is potentially torn between the desire to believe and follow his father and the realisation that his father is not as perfect or right as he originally imagined, and Mordred may not be this world-ender that he's made to believe. I also like the antagonism between them too, and am interested to see how they'll interact when they're reunited after 5 years - what's changed, and how the  attraction blossoms (both advertently and inadvertently) out of what starts out as antagonism. The complexity and changing nature of it is always a fun experience, in my opinion! ❤

I'm also wondering - will it be possible to romance Galahad even if our Mordred doesn't exactly try to befriend him? By that I mean, Mordred might still antagonise Galahad as he does him, but Galahad is observant enough to see how Mordred acts toward people he cares about, and that Mordred may not be quite as "horrible" as all that, not to mention Mordred's teasing flirts (potentially) getting him a bit flustered despite himself. Anyway, it would be interesting to know!

If I understood correctly there will be no poly routes, right?

Unless all character can be romanced at once, and we woukd have to deal with consequences such as they would be.

language! >:(

My Mordred is very, obviously queer (being both nb amab and attracted to males), so in my head there was this conversation with this one bully girl:

Bully: Your gay.

Mordred: *hugs Gawain* Yes, that's my gay. Go find your own. And it's "you're".

Btw, this is great story, I love how the characters are portrayed, how Mordred's gender feels are handled and how immersed I got. 

I hate writing comments, but for such amazing story, I'm willing to go out of my comfort zone <3

PLSSSS LET US ROMANCE MORGANA. I CAN FIX HER!!!

damn i really am cucking my brother, one of the few people that supported me during my whole life. maybe i am a bastard

This was actually amazing, ive never been so invested in anything before (please continue this and dont die 😔🙏)

*Spoilers maybe*

Great story so far! I've only played up until the point were sir Lancelot was minorly poisoned. The part were Morgana says 'Oh tragedy' Reminds me of the whole 'Sorrows. Prayers.' meme

Hello There!

Fantastic Story! It has gotten a grip on my attention that i've found *Very* hard to find release from! I Love how the story seems to balance so well the day-to-day slice of life bits with the more long term happenings. The ROs are all interesting and loveable so far (with perhaps the understandable exception of Nimue, who we only get short interactions with very early on in the story leading to a certain lack of attachment developing towards her)!

The Story itself is incredibly well written and the narrative quite gripping, a very fun and unique take on the Arthurian Mythos. The text feels slightly repetitive in some paragraphs, feeling a tad.... skippable? but that could simply be related to how rapidly and violently i've been ripping through the story.

I also liked the vast amounts of customization you allowed towards the character of Mordred and how progressive you made the setting. Very nice to see  :)

I have encountered a bug near the ending of the current content, when Mordred is confronting their dragon partner about their crush on Elaine's

"Not yet, so shhhhh!" $Dragon_name presses their tail against their snoot, eyes darting in the direction Felix went off. "I just-I'm not sure how to tell them. What if they don't feel the same way? I mean, you've seen them. They're amazing."

All in all i have only praises to sing for this work so far! i'll await further updates eagerly and would most certainly be joining your patreon if i wasn't poor as dirt!

Hello! I love your story! Hope this isn't a stupid question, but how do I get access to the full novel instead of demo? I'm new to this website and don't know how to work patreon either. Or is it not complete yet?

Is there a time estimate on the next update?

hi, dear author! i'm loving the story a lot so far, but there seems to be a bug in the relationship stats – i've just began chapater four,  and the stats are: 

"Gawain:

You don't think much of him.

 Galahad:

It's been five years since you first met, and planted the seed of doubt in his heart."

given that mordred is stated to be 11, and that his first kiss was with gawain in my gameplay, i don't believe those stats are correct, right?

there are also constant strange conjugations regarding my dragon's pronouns, like "they walks" and "they is" – i wasn't given the option to choose my dragon's sex as well, but idk if that's a bug or we just can't decide.

thank you sm for the effort put into this game, i wish it was completely released by now so i could spend my whole damn month on it 💔🫂

A small note: there's a few instances in the game's script where you've used variable named gawain_ro (as opposed to Gawain_ro) This causes some minor bugs, like conditionals which check for Gawain's romance always failing even if he does have feelings for MC, or the romance "score" not getting properly updated. hth.
