#february-update

This is the first time you hear about the Merlin Visual Novel Project?

In the master post you can find more information about the project and what it's about.

In the sign up post you can find out how to join the team.

It's been another month since our last update and we made quite some progress on the plot! Sadly we didn't finish it yet - as I had hoped - but I'm happy with the progress we did make.

I guess the most challenging part for me was to decide on plot to delete. The diagramme and resulting plot-options were getting way too complex. I'm glad I did kick some of it, but I'm also sad about it. I really liked some of the deleted parts!

To at least publish one of the decisions I had to remove, here you have an old screenshot:

(This is literally the one I struggled most with to decide about! OTL)

Now, I want to use this post to give you some more information on the overall plot! The story will take place in canon timeline and - depending on the plot you follow - there will be canon events. Of course that also means you will get the chance to change said events by making a different choice than Merlin did in the show. ;) Additionally, while the game will be Merlin centric for the most part, there are also a lot of decisions other characters like Arthur, Gwen and Morgana can make! Right about now you are probably thinking "that sounds like a lot of decisions" and you are not wrong. While I already removed about 1/3 of them there are over 30 different decisions at the moment, and we are not done yet. I guess there will be about 50 in total, hopefully not too many more. :'D As an example: one of the finished plotlines has 18 decisions in total. Depending on the decisions you make this number can be between 15 and 20, with some exceptions.

That’s it for now! If you have any questions or feedback don't hesitate to contact us! :D
