The Most Genius Pseudonym MC

For the possibly one(?) of you out there who actually chose to make the MC's pseudonym the exact same name as their real name. (Yes, it's possible to do that, and yes, it keeps getting referenced.)

Just Merlin Things

June 2024 - Question & Answers (Extended)

As suggested by the Greater Circle and voted on by the Greater/Lesser Circle tiers.

Four seats are filled on the stage, while the rest remain conspicuously empty. The scarecrow sitting in Percy's chair is now wearing a sombrero.

Broderick: *looking thunderously pissed off*  You just HAD to have a question for me this week, didn't you?

Merlin: Yes, indeed. Come join us, Broderick. ...

Mini Game - Fetch (Adrian Spicy Side Story)

Warning: Rather spicy and rather dark.

June's winning drabble vote was a spicy story about Adrian, and since this will be told through the MC's POV (for... reasons), I went ahead and made it a playable mini-game instead.

3200+ words including code.

Closed Beta - Version 0.22 (Lesser Circle)

Here's the finished update to Version 0.22 (update to Merlin's Guide Minor Enemies, new text messages, + completed Chapter 2-2).

This uses the same save slots as the normal public version of the game. Some people have reported that using the old saves is bugging out the stats/variables, so if that happens, you might want to restart from the beginning.

If Version 0.22 doesn't appear on the title screen, please clear the cache of your browsers.

Far Future Snippets - Red Shirt

With 29% of the vote, "Red Shirt in the MC's Apartment Complex as All This is Happening" has won the next Far Future Snippet vote.

It was a quiet Sunday evening when it began. Too quiet. At first, he was enjoying the peace as he climbed floor after floor towards Blaze's apartment, but the ongoing silence finally started to remind him of that Stephen King story. You know the one<...

Klingsor the Penisless Necromancer : Now In Merlin's Guide!

Obviously, this has been the update that you've all been waiting for, so let's all celebrate that Merlin's Guide to Minor Neutrals is now completely done.

Poll: Next Far Future Snippet

Who do you want to be the main focus of the next far future snippet? (Still eaving out Merlin & Adrian for the moment since they've been hogging all the attention. Also 404 Error Not Found is still too spoilery at this point)

Poll will remain open until June 15th.

Gawain's Completely Normal Love Life Continues in Merlin's Guide

I didn't think I'd be doing any more previews until I completed Chapter 2-3's part of Merlin's Guide, but Merlin's reaction to Amurfina's entry is pretty amusing.

Although maybe I should've held out for Klingsor the Penisless Necromancer instead.

Background Notes: Camelot's Location

There's already hints in the first flashback dream sequence to where Camelot used to be (particularly for anyone familiar with English topography or who was snooping through the code), but it's not actually going to be pointed out in the game for awhile now.

Merlin:

The gleaming crystal walls of the fortress city Camelot , standing proud right at the very thr...

Closed Beta - Version 0.22 (Greater Circle)

Finally, the finished update to Version 0.22 (update to Merlin's Guide, new text messages, + completed Chapter 2-2).

This will be using the same save slots as the normal public version of the game, so hopefully there won't be any problems inherent with that. If Version 0.22 doesn't appear on the title screen, please clear the cache of your browsers.

Edit: From reports, it seems using the old saves is bugging out the stats/variables, so alas, ...
