Unsure about the rewrite in regards to MC's family dynamic. I rather enjoyed the old more strained relationship with parents and the desire to get away from that. But I do like the inclusion of Uther's history with mages and how that colors MC's fears about his new spouse.
Still, even with these changes, I love this story and look forward to more. And maybe FINALLY getting to talk to Arthur. Lol. 👍 And adopting Mordred.
Some subtle, some not so subtle changes. I may have missed some of note, but it’s been a while since I last went through it so I might just not be remembering correctly. I do very much appreciate the changes and additions for the MC’s backstory. Exquisite work! I have no doubts you’ll keep it up. = )
Hello! I hope you are doing alright! I know you mentioned this a little under a month ago but I was just wondering if there were any newer updates on when the release of the next update would be? I love this story and Yniol is my favorite!! I need more of that giant man so bad 🥲
If the pace is kept the same, with half a chapter once a year and considering there are around 15 chapters planned, there is a very high chance I will die of old age before I see this finished. That is not considering any rewrites and final edits, which can take years as well. Also, usually later chapters take much longer to write because there are more branches determined by variables chosen. And there's a big assumption here - that the author will keep interest in writing this for at least 3 more decades... So while I liked what I read, I'm not gonna get my hopes up of seeing this even half done.
Aw thank you! I am actually 95% done with the update, I still have to code it and edit it a bit, but some stressful things have happened lately so I will take a bit more time to do so than anticipated. Still, I assure you I am consistently working on TKH💞
I’m not sure if this is still in development, seeing how old the last update is, but I wanted to take the time to let you know how much I enjoyed reading this! I love Arthurian lore/legends but your take on it is refreshing and unique. The writing is excellent and the characters intriguing. Whether you choose to finish this or move on to something else, I think you have a real gift and I hope to see more from you!
Okay I need to check in and clear up a quick confusion:
I took the trans woman background during character creation and just hit the spot where Morien asks about HRT...if I take the hormones is that to continue being female or is that some roundabout way to detransition? I really don't want to accidentally turn my character back into a guy...if anyone has an answer I would massively appreciate
I'm pretty sure it means you're taking hormones to become a women or stay a women/whatever gender you picked. It's just giving you the choice of whether your character has since some ppl don't want hormones or anything of that sort ^^
by that do you mean they're posting character portraits, lore dumps, short stories about ROs, fanart and basically anything but work on the actual story?
Hi! I am sorry for not publishing any update here on Itch. I am about halfway done with the next update and am optimistic for a release relatively soon. I was stuck with writing for a long time until very recently, and despite my passion for the project unfortunately sometimes it's less draining to answer a couple of asks than stressing over the writing when I am in that state of mind.
I had to change some lore elements as well, and in the past months I was able to rewrite the public demo accordingly (unfortunately, it was necessary).
On Tumblr I have recently published one of the ROs official portrait, which will be present in the character description in game upon the next update. All in all, I am continuously polishing the WIP, even if very slowly (and I am sorry for that).
I am very flattered by your high regards of TKH, and I assure you I am still actively working on it. If I ever decide to abandon it, I will make a hiatus announcement, as I don't want to leave people waiting for nothing.
Oh, I'm so excited! I had this game saved for months since I played the demo. It as a concept, as well as the lovely characters within, live absolutely rent free in my head.
can't wait for more. I am an avid fan of Arthurian legends both the one based on fantasy and the one's based on Artur. (Historical). If ever want some inspiration for the story, I am happy to help. Just as happy to only read.
Wow. This is brilliant. Even though I have zero interest in MC romancing Arthur since he's a dude, I have to admit the way you have written his character I wouldn't complain had there been no female LIs. Glad to see more stories including non verbal MCs.
I try to enable a save but every time I have to start over. It doesn't take me to where I left off. To the beginning every damn time. It is not worth the damn trouble.
I will wait patiently for this game, as it has probably my favorite love interests and MC choices of all the interactive fiction and visual novels that I've read!

i think they're busy with university and it delayed the process of rewriting a bit
I hope this game to update soon! Such a lovely story and lovely characters too🥰

I am doing everything I can🥲 if I could release more content, I definitely would!
No need to be pressured, I imagine these detailed type of stories takes a lot effort to get it done. but I hope you will continue to write! 🤧❤️

Writer is still active on tumblr and has dropped crumbs that there may be an update within the next few months. Its in progress!
Good to know, thank you!
i'm leaving this comment here so whenever the next update comes someone reply to me:3
Should be tagged as Horror due to the fact you have to play as the Irish
Who let the Welsh peasant use a computer? :P
English* peasant
As an Irish person, I approve this statement
wait, we're Irish?
You are now, sunshine!
This game is amazing! Can't wait for the update!

I NEED MOREEE!!!! 😇😇
One of the best ones I've ever played!!
Amazing writing! super inclusive to mute and touch-averse people and the characters are intriguing.
I'll be waiting eagerly for the next update :]
can you choose multiple poly routes?
I SEE THE DARK SOULS REFRENCE AND I LOVE IT
This was a wonderful experience!
There is a Patreon? I would love assign

Okay perfect, just the last thing I'd wanna do is untrans my blorb's gender when I trans'd it in the first place for a reason XD
That'd be hilarious in the worst way possible but not fun
... I... I love you, Saraah 😭😭 IN SIBLING WAY*
I dont think this IF will ever come back...
It's sad because it was easily my favorite on itch
They are extremely active on tumblr and are starting to roll out character portraits. I think they fell into the tumblr-if trap.
by that do you mean they're posting character portraits, lore dumps, short stories about ROs, fanart and basically anything but work on the actual story?

I love how there's option to make your character suffer internally just for the sake of it, since that's what they were taught as a child.
I love how we are given a backstory but we decide how it goes, it feels grounded and less self-inserty but not taking away authority
i am not ok
Love it so far!!! Can't wait for an update!
Man i played this like 6 months ago and keep coming back to see if there's more, i am desperate
Sobbing...I need moreeee
Is this still alive? I really like it and am curious
It's still alive! The author currently is rewriting everything right now. You can keep up with their progress on Tumblr the-kingshound.
Is this project still alive?
You can keep up with their progress on their Tumblr the-kingshound. The project is currently going through a makeover right now.
