Experimental Rollback for Love of Magic

Renpy style rollback has been by far the most requested functionality in Love of Magic, but it's a complex and multi-headed beast, especially 'true' rollback (undoing all actions associated with the state, like stats being added, flags set, conver...

Morningstar Act I complete

Morningstar's what I'll be working on once Love of Magic is done, but as I got into the characters and the world, I decided to plough forward and finish the first Act. With that done, I'll return to Love of Magic, and finish up Act XVI: Eternal Su...

Direct Download Links

Download links for Love of Magic, Morningstar: Book of the Fallen and Wings of Empire.

The best way to play is really on Steam, and I give any Patreons that want a free Steam Key to all three books. Having said that, I know that many people ...

A look at the Cellphone for Morningstar

One of the lessons from helping make Paradise Lust was how nice a cellphone was as a story telling device. The player has his PC, of course, but making sure players actually open the PC at the right time, and don't chose to ignore it, became a bit...

Act XV+ complete

I'm now done with Act XV+, which collects a bunch of optional side-events playable across Acts XI-XV. Content wise it's been a grab-bag of smaller tasks that help fill in the world.

Roadmap Time

I haven't been updating the page enough recently, so I figured I'd sit down and talk a little about progress, plans and milestones.

I finally had a chance this weekend to sit down and play Love ...

Paradise Lust launches

Many of you know that my day job also involves making games; I spent 20+ years working as a programmer in the games industry before I started making adult games as a hobby.

At some point I approached my co-workers, showed them Love of Magic...

Behind the scenes: Morningstar's phone interface

Where MC in Love of Magic's very much a PC player, Morningstar's MC is much more of a smartphone kind of guy. As such I'm building my support content and optional side content into his phone; apps for renaming characters, checking up on details, r...

Act XV complete, and Morningstar now on Steam

Act XV: The Return is now done; I'm uploading the release candidate to Steam now, and will update the direct download links once it's gotten a day or two of proper testing.

With that done, there's only one Act left of Love of Magic, Act XVI...

Morningstar Trailer

I was hoping to formally announce Morningstar alongside the Act XV update, so I spent some time over the last couple of days setting up the Steam page, doing a trailer, etc.

Submitted to Valve, we'll see what they think in ~48 hrs.

Titter App for Morningstar

With Act XV's grand finale finally complete, I'm taking a couple of days to recharge creatively before finishing up the last few straggling events in Act XV; as such I figured it was time to take a closer look at Morningstar's Titter App.

Morningstar Update

I took a two week deep dive into Morningstar, and got to know the characters a little better. Some of them I knew coming in, and some ambushed me, dragged me into a ditch and screwed me senseless. Here's a quick look at the state of the build.

Act XIV+ Release

I've pushed Act XIV+ to beta, and it's now officially done. Links to the non-steam version's also been updated (for both Book 3 and the new Book 1 conten...

Book 1 Update II

I finished another small update to Book 1; it adds 4 new animations for Molly, one new one for Chloe and a new small event (Email day 80+).

It's likely the last update I do for Book 1 until Book 3's done; I'll be busy animating and renderi...

Talk to me like on of your French chatbots.

Okay, this was a fun little rabbit hole to pursue. This started it's life with me asking MollyBot to write a sexy script.

A glass of wine (Day 100)

I've been playing with Blender Simulations for various Book 3 sequences, and got this idea for making an updated day 100 animation.

I do a shot breakdown (Daz, Blender, After Effects), and talk a little about how things were put together.<...

Book 1 Update

I decided to put my new 3090 graphics card to good use, and went back to do a small update to Act I of Love of Magic, adding in 5 new animations and doing a typo pass, fixing some long-lingering bug, and giving it a coat of polish.

This lik...

Happy Year of the Rabbit

May 2023 be happy, healthy and prosperous for you all.

Also, remembering what rabbits are *really* known for, it should be a good year for adult games.

(Apart from that, I'm also updating the non-steam links for Act XIV now, for tho...

For your eyes only

I know I said it'd take a week or two for the next Act to be complete, but I ended up getting dragged along. It's not often the story does that, so... I decided to go with the flow. Act XIV is now content complete on the development branch. I'll p...

VFX Breakdown: Katie's Intro

I had a couple of characters I wanted to bring along for Morningstar, and for Day 2 you meet the third of them, Katie (the rest currently are Bella, Emily, Chloe, Molly, and probably fan favorites Kath and Snowdrop joining as side-characters). 2023-01-19 02:30:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Introducing Morningstar Day 1

As Love of Magic gets closer to finishing, I've been toying around with concepts for what the *next* game will be. I mainly love SciFi & Fantasy, so that's where I've been looking for inspiration. After a bunch of sketches and several prototyp...

Merry Xmas everyone

And with that, I'm opening a beer and starting the Xmas celebrations. It's been an eventful day, with some interesting news to share.

The first thing is I finally went ahead and pulled the trigger on a RTX 3090 graphics card. When I did my l...

AMA with Zdravko, co-founder of Grown-Ups

I'm doing an AMA with Zdravko, one of the founders of the new Adult games site, Grown-Ups, on Saturday 17th December, 23:00 HKT/16:00 CET/10:00 EST, on the LoM Discord.

Curious about them, and what they hope to bring to the NSFW community? C...

The Dark Elsewhere paths first show up in Act III, and is used for the less hospitable parts of the world.

More adventures in AI: Camelot

It's been bugging me that I don't have a good image of Camelot itself, leaving me to represent it with a map. Since I spent part of the day playing with AI tools, I decided to see if I could fix that.
