Weekly developer's blog (Patreon)

Weekly development blogs will be on Fridays, but this first one I'm writing today since this week I'll be on vacation and won't take my laptop with me. 

I've been working on the rest of chapter 3, having completed a Galahad scene (with like, 5 variations depending on your dynamic!), some fluffy, sweet moments with Mordred's dragon and the introduction of a character we'll be seeing more of! She's not a very pleasant person, but she can potentially play an important role down the line, on top of being a great opportunity for me to explore some lore.

A change I've made that I've yet to address on tumblr concerns the size of Mordred's dragon companion. They were set to be quite big (perhaps you've seen the reference image on tumblr) but I've since decided that, as Mordred remarks, all grown up, their dragon will be the size of a very, very big horse. Dragons that get knighted, in general, are within the range of a horse and a giraffe in size. The smaller or bigger a dragon is, the rarer they are. The truly big dragons live far away from humans.

In general, I've been fleshing out the dragon lore, mentioning them more at the fair, and changing up the tournament trials so that dragons are more involved - and even have an individual trial themselves.

I've also tinkered with other details as I've developed the story, such as how Arthur was recognized as Uther's heir, adding more info about what the magic of the Lady of the Lake is capable of, describing the Lothian castle better.

Fun fact: Lothia in my story is based on Romania, and the capital city/Duke's castle where the action is taking place is based on Bran Castle. The Lothian Castle is a lot bigger than Bran, however. It's a beautiful castle and I've visited it again a few months ago, which inspired me to better describe the Lothian castle.
