tHIS GAME!!!! Ohmygoshhh, I have so many things to say about this game but I'll try to keep this comment short! Firstly, I love your writing and I love how you captured the emotions of the other characters! I love our dear mother Morgana, and I'm making my Mordred a conflicted lil mama's boy <3 we'll see if he decides to accept Arthur as his father in the future, or maybe he'll follow in his mother's footsteps down a vengeful path... hmm.
also.. me: *sees a potential love interest that absolutely despises my mc* "..did somebody say... enemies to lovers?"
...yeah, I think it's obvious who I've already decided to romance, lol. Although I'm really excited to see the other characters and explore their routes as well!! Gawain is a sweetheart :) When I read that one desc that was like "You make him want to serenade you" I was like AWWW
(this game is also making me realize that I don't know much about the Arthurian Legends, so I'm definitely going to research them further! like I had no idea that Mordred was actually Morg and Arth's child? Imagine my shock, lol!)
A bit nitpicky, buttt in older versions of the myth, Mordred was originally Arthur's cousin, later progressing to becoming the son of Arthur and his half-sister Morgause (whose commonly axed out of modern interpretations of the myths). Morgause became combined with the character of Morgan Le Fay, who was (also) Arthur and Morgause's half sister, to the modern day character of Morgana Le Fay. Mordred then became the son-newphew of Arthur and Morgana in popular culture. Again, this is like, a really random comment about something only tangentially related to what you just said, I just wanted to info dump bc the legends are genuinely very interesting. :>
No worries, I think it's great when people info dump stuff they're passionate about ^^ !! This is all very interesting to me since I've never thoroughly looked into the Arthurian legends, but because of your game, I am now interested in finding out more about them and the different versions of the stories, so thank you for getting me interested in something new, haha!
Oh wait, I cannot take credit for this. I wish I came up with this, but alas, I can't code. This is all the work of Llamagirl! I am just a humble fan who randomly info-dumps in the comments.
Oh my goodness you're right! This is both hilarious and embarrassing, especially since I'm following the author's Tumblr. I clearly do not read names on Itch.io. Oh well, still appreciate the interesting facts you've told me about the legends, thanks for that! :)
Totallyyy all right dude. I enjoy randomly pestering people in the comments section so I probably should have been prepared for it to bite me in the @ss. Have a good one!
You have a such immaculate writing. Not too prosy, but also not too plain.
I like this IF since it still in ChoiceScript format.
I'm curious to meet other character(s) like Queen Guinevere and other ROs, tho I'm already picking Galahad for ... enemies to lover route. Ah, yes, the angst.
I can imagine my Mordred being tsundere about her feeling.
For Queen Guinevere, I'm curious to see how you execute her characterization. Would she betray like what the lore have told? Would she genuinely love Arthur? Or it's neutral, as much as political marriage can go? (Some depiction of her in the media I found are much into this). There are many depiction of Guinevere in contemporary adaptations and I eager to see your take.
every time i see the picture for the game i get super excited thinking its an update but its usually a review or someone adding it to a collection. good things either way tho cuz i play through it again almost every time i see it lol
Great, another damn good game I found and is still in development. I really really hate these, always a superb story and beautiful characters and I have to wait eons for it to be completed. Game's awesome btw and I'll be waiting for more in the future
According to Llama's tumblr, the next update is coming out in a couple of months, which consists of the next half of chapter 3! The Patreon/Kofi demo has already been updated with another segment of chapter 3, however.
i cant put into words how much i love your writing whsjwjdn currently playing as a trans man Mordred and came out towards the end of chapter 3, hearing him call me son actually made me cry dammit
going to charm Galahad 👀👀 i love all the characters so far, so many complicated feelings about Morgana and Arthur though! gah! i do love how you gave Morgana so much depth, she isnt just a heartless mom or bad just because, she's wounded and copes with it the only way she knows how. amazing writing whsjwkd cant wait for the next update
I don't know for sure, hoping to post the rest of chapter 3 sometimes in November! The game is currently receiving updates on the Patreon/Kofi demo (I've added details and links on the game's page here and in my bio for anyone interested). At the moment, the Patreon/Kofi demo contains a new Galahad scene, the intro of a new character (and more!), as well as general edits, small new additions, some new aesthetics.
Ok, I just did a replay and I snorted at the scene where Lancelot's picking at his food. Just... the great Knight's Champion, "My son will be the saviour of Camelot, woe be to those who cross my king", the big guy, just stabbing at his food like an angry toddler is so hilarious.
Just coming back after a long long while to say that I love this game and am will wait patiently for future content. I legit feel so bad for Mordred, but that's what makes the story so engaging to me...! And it's super interesting that you can make him... Well... Not exactly kind and innocent either. It makes one think about how life and things that happen to us shape us, but how much of that is also because we allow it to happen? It hurts less if we fight and bite back, you know? I mean, he's still a kid so of course the adults are majorly to blame here, but if nobody tries to reach out to him if he's on a skeptical/warpath route when he's older things could end veeeery badly for everyone... Which would be very intriguing (albeit tragical) to read too. Ahh there are so many possibilities! This is one of the few stories out there I've actually went out of my way to try all the options available. You have been quite thoughtful when writing viewpoints for the many personalities of Mordred, so it's very interesting to try new things...! Thanks again for sharing your work, I hope you are healthy and content wherever you are!
This is by far my favorite IF. The different POVs are so great and show how people react to Mordred. In my case with a shy crybaby Mordred it breaks the heart of Arthur to see his child crying like this and he cant do much to help her. Keep up the good work Llamagirl and keep yourself healthy too.
I plaid this a while ago but never mentioned how much I appreciated the way you get to navigate Mordred's gender. Playing Mordred as trans, the very last scene before the demo ends warmed my entire heart
I really enjoyed how complex all the characters are especially Morgana. Incredibly enjoyable first 3 chapters. I would have liked the ability to choose neutral pronouns from the start though.
(spoilers)Not that I'm not glad but it feels shocking that this was for free. I spent the whole night to finish it. I've bought and played many Choice of games/Hosted games stories and this tops a lot of them in quality even if it's on itch.
My favourite characters are both Accolon and Gareth<3 accolon is the sweetest father he's so understanding and caring.
I also couldn't help but love all the characters, even the ones that were supposed to bad, had feelings and reasons of why they are that way. Idk why i tend to become really emotional when it comes to Arthur. His internal conflict and how he always tried.. somehow often made me tear up everytime. I didn't like his abandonment but I understood his shame. I kinda forgave him everytime.
Morgana is complicated. She was caring but was consumed by hatred evident by the lengths she went for revenge. She kinda used her daughter as a tool, still that doesn't change how caring and genuine her love was.
Gawain and Galahad? Love both. I wish there were more interactions with Galahad too:( the story was also really entertaining. Really sorry for the wall of text. Cant wait for next chapter
I knew there was one but, as far as I can tell, it's not posted anywhere here. I was hoping for a dev update post, but I don't think I saw one. It looks like dev's out of school for the summer, so hopefully that means they'll have time to update soon. 🤞🏽
Thanks for linking it, I have it here on my itch profile but I haven't thought of adding it on the game page too.
Yeah, I haven't posted any dev update yet (haven't been active in general) but soon I'll be done with my bachelor's thesis and I want to get back to working on the game.

Can't wait for an update for this played this over and over again. Interaction with Gawain was quite heartwarming aswell :3
yeah uhhh i wasnt into arthurian legend until now.
also the trans options got me crying. accolon for parent of the year please? ty
desperately waiting for an update, why must all the good games be incomplete :’)
no rush tho for the record, take your time :) just love the story
every time i see the picture for the game i get super excited thinking its an update but its usually a review or someone adding it to a collection. good things either way tho cuz i play through it again almost every time i see it lol
OOH, this is really fun (had a little identity crisis halfway through lol) I like it a lot! Excited to see the direction this goes.
OMGOMGOMGOMFG ITS UPDATED 10 HOURS AGO??? ITS 4 AM AND I CANT SLZEEP AND I WAS JUS CHECKING BUT AHHHH OMFG IM EXCITED
Aahh I'm sorry to have got your hopes up, but I only edited the game's description. The update is coming in November/December.
ayo its alright, heart broke a lil but the game's so amazing im going to endure the wait, just DONT RUSH or pressure yourself and we're gonna be okay
Great, another damn good game I found and is still in development. I really really hate these, always a superb story and beautiful characters and I have to wait eons for it to be completed. Game's awesome btw and I'll be waiting for more in the future
Really enjoyed this a lot more then a lot of the other interactive novels
Great game can't wait for more
When will the updated version be available to the public?
when the new update comes out?
HOPEFULLY SOOOOOOONNN </3
According to Llama's tumblr, the next update is coming out in a couple of months, which consists of the next half of chapter 3! The Patreon/Kofi demo has already been updated with another segment of chapter 3, however.
oh no i got dangerously invested in ANOTHER IF
i cant put into words how much i love your writing whsjwjdn currently playing as a trans man Mordred and came out towards the end of chapter 3, hearing him call me son actually made me cry dammit

Now, I'll be honest. So far, the Mother seems like a quite horrible person who is selfish and adamant they are correct purely based on passed events.
when is the new update coming?

I’m buying this game even if it costs $100
mordred will cry her way into everyone's hearts if its the last thing i do!!!
in all seriousness, bastard of camelot is a great game and i look forward to seeing more of it! :)
Thats the way.

I love this game, mostly because I love Arthurian legend. I hope you enjoy creating this game.
I cant wait for chapter 4 and the rest of 3! This is by far the best IF I have ever read. Crybaby Mordred FTW! :3

👏😳👏👏👏👏🥰🥰

I cannot praise this author writing and work into giving such a fleshed out story
Like I have no words tysm for this my eyeballs have been cleansed my crops are watered and I'm living the good life as a bastard LOL

As someone that has read a lot of CoG/Hosted titles, and an artist myself, I completely second that and I wish there was a donate button.
Well, there sort of is. This is the link to the authors patreon and I believe they have a kofi as well if thats something you're interested in.

Here's the dev's Tumblr in case anyone is interested: Llama's writing (tumblr.com)

Damn this is good. Love the family dynamic in this.
