Continued work on chapter 4! I'm finished with Mordred's lectures and almost done with lessons altogether - there's one more scene I want to write of Mordred and their dragon training together, and then I can go on to birthday preparations and guests arriving!👀 Right now I'm working on a scene where Mordred can check their letters - from Arthur and Gawain, if you kept in touch. There's also the possibility Mordred might have cut contact with Gawain, too, for various reasons.

I've also been writing for this month's mini-game. I'm still working on it, but the meatiest part is done and I'm really happy that I got to delve into Gareth's mind - don't worry, we'll see that in the game too. I can say for certain there'll be Gareth POVs in chapter 5. 

And now on to something less pleasant that I intend to address in a post on my tumblr too...I know people (one person? more? I hope not more) have been leaking the Patreon demo, and I know a lot of creators have experienced the same with their games. I guess it just goes to show how much respect some people have for IF writers and their work. And with all the sarcasm I can muster: I hope it feels good for them to be stealing from indie developers.

I am however truly grateful to the wonderful, lovely people in the IF community who do support - whether that be monetarily or not - and defend creators. I'm thankful for the people that, even though they may not afford to give money to creatros - which is totally understandable - have patience and respect for their work. I'm thankful for the people over on Patreon and Kofi supporting me, because this is what allows me to work and focus on the game. Thank you. You have no idea how wonderful this experience has been!

Always excited to get these updates, I always go back and replay all the chapters lol. Also sorry to hear that someone is leaking the demo, that’s shitty of them. 😡

I can't believe that there are such hateful people capable of doing this kind of thing. I hope your moral aren't too low and know that you have my full support. I can't wait to see what you have planned for Mordred. 💕

Sorry to hear about the recent thievery :/ For the demo since it's hosted on Itch.io you should be able to make it so people have to tie their itch.io accounts to Patreon (similar to how you can tie Discord to Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/apps/itchio) and be subbed in order to access the demo. That is if you want to go that route in preventing people from sharing it without subbing.

Thank you! I'll look into it. The only issue is that I'm also offering early access on kofi, and unfortunately kofi doesn't have itch io integration :/

That's unfortunate :/. You could possibly go the route of giving away individual download keys to those who subscribe via kofi as to my knowledge you can set them so users have to link them to a itch.io account in order to use it when generating them. The downsides would possibly be creating more work for you - which I can't tell you if you'd find it worth it or not and/or possibly giving people a one-time payment option of playing the beta (not sure if you'd have to keep reissuing keys or not).
