The lion, the serpent, the wolf – which knight will you choose?
In the kingdom of Somalaire any youth may enter the fête of the squire, competing for a knight's favour over the course of a year – the winner is declared the knight's squire and will eventually become their successor. You are one such youth, Leith, who hopes to lift his family from poverty to nobility by winning the contest. To do so, however, you must outdo scores of rivals and win your chosen knight's patronage... and their heart.

Fate of the Squire is a low fantasy game based around the concept of knights and squires. The romances are male x male with some explicit sex scenes, though I'm considering releasing an SFW version of the game for platforms like Steam. Release was aimed August 2018, now looking more like late 2018, but new content is released as and when it's finished.
I'll update this thread at the end of every month showing progress, but there'll be weekly updates and features over at my tumblr if you're interested, and even more content at my patreon. I'm currently doing all of the writing, visuals (sprites, backgrounds and CGs) and programming. The only thing I'm not confident I can do by myself is the audio, for which I may have to hire someone else.
Update 05/11/2018: It took a while, but I'm now 2 months ahead with patreon content, which means I can start making more regular public releases. Now you can enjoy October's content!
