The End (of Act X)

Okay, Act X's done... I'm uploading a Windows only beta download here for anyone that prefer to avoid Steam:

Happy Easter

For those of you celebrating easter or passover, have a great weekend.

On Love of Magic's side, I'm almost done with the Act. The last couple of images have been rendered, now I just need to put it all together and test it... tentatively i...

Progress: Act X

With yesterday's update I'm closing up on Act X complete. I've got the final event left (Day 182), and it's done. The Discord game are testing it at the moment, throwing up bugs (especially related to the three paths that weave its way through the...

Welcome to Corpus Christi

Act X's getting closer to done, and the two big cutscenes anchoring it (Dresden and Corpus Christi, respectively) are mostly done. I've got another video I need to build (which will be contingent on finishing the flying pig questline),  but a...

Blowing clouds

For the opening sequence of Act X I needed a bunch of clouds. In theory I've got pre-existing stock photos, but those don't animate, and if you have a thousand clouds it's going to be really obvious that there's really only 3 of them.

To fi...

VFX Shot breakdown: Act X scene

I started doing little VFX scenes as replacements for still images in Act VIII (the first sequence I used it in was the attack on the garage on the first day of Act VIII). I enjoyed it enough that I went back and redid a bunch of sequences using t...

Santa de Fuego

I always knew Act X was going to have a heavy Katie influence; I spent a fair amount of time looking at how to weave her story into the game.

One idea I briefly played with was to make a small stand-alone game (loading the same savegames to...

Book 2 Android Update

I spent some time optimizing and setting up the Android build for 0.5.24b. The first version is now available here for testing:

Act IX+ Release

Act IX+ revolves around the King's Dragon, the people who live, party and love inside it. It lets me provide some additional Chosen Stories, to visit the backstories of characters like Aoife, Val, Xochi and Draco.

An offering to the Kult of Kath

I didn't plan for this thing to become a big thing. But it did. And now I don't really have any choice but to put it in the game :)

It's content for Act X, so still a bit into the future, but I thought I'd share it with you. 

SexPositiveGaming's GoTY Awards (and Love of Magic steals the best Soundtrack)

I'm a big fan of SexPositiveGaming 's reviews; Annie works hard at playing, reviewing and recommending games, and she puts a LOT of effort into her videos. As ...

Promo fallout

I have this weird sense of discipline to my work; while I know completely the end of the story, and many of the key moments along, the day to day minutiae is often open to inspiration.

I found this little bodysuit while making a Y...

Year of the Tiger approaching

I was doing some quick test-renders for a year of the tiger promotion, and decided I liked them enough to make a couple of wallpapers from them. Once I got started, of course, I couldn't quite unsee the similarities for a certain 80s cartoon serie...

Price of Power launching on Steam

Everyone on LoM's Discord surely know Pandaman, "rendering intern" extraordinaire. Before starting work on his own game he occasionally helped me render ...

Setting up a simple Wallpaper Engine wallpaper

I got a request from one of the Discord regulars about a wallpaper of the Wedding scene.

Setting something like this up doesn't actually take much ...

Merry Xmas, everyone!

It's almost Christmas time in this part of the world; 2 more hours until Christmas is rung in. I put together a little Xmas wish, from the girls of Love of Magic to all of you; thanks for the support, and for cheering me on and motivating me. 2021...

Annie from Sexpositivegaming has become one of my favorite adult youtubers this year, bringing a love for adult gaming, warm humor and an intense work-ethic into making...

Interview with SpicyGaming

SpicyGaming has Love of Magic as their Game of the Month, and I did an interview with them. I talk about development processes, inspirations and future plans... might be interesting to some of you.

On Act IX+, I'm around ~1/2 through. I'...

Kath Wallpaper

I was playing around with this model, and decided I liked the way the light hit her enough to make a little 4K wallpaper. I'm also attaching the slightly NSFW version, which is why this isn't a public post :)

Act IX+ update

So, Act IX+ is the Hot Springs Episode. In an anime that's usually the chance when the characters get to kick back from their epic fighting, get ...

Act IX public build

I'm finally done with Act IX, and it's publicly available (as well as on the Steam branch). If you'd like to download it directly, you can get the build from mirrors here:

Act IX Release Candidate

Okay, I've chewed through every reported bug (I think), fixed up a bunch of little annoyances with the Strategy Battle, and completed the last few events. Building a full set of Steam builds today, then spending the weekend testing. As always, if ...

Act IX Story Complete

And with that, the main storyline of Act IX is done. You can find it on Steam's Beta branch; as always, if you don't have a key and would like one, just PM me.

I usually try to avoid cliffhangers, but I wrote myself into this one by acciden...

Katie Wallpaper

I wanted to try out a light-study, and ended up doing a bit of post effects on it. The goal was to do an effect where only Katie's character has light and color, and the rest of the world is black and white. To get there I made a greyscale version...

Love of Magic for Steam Awards?

It's Love of Magic's first chance to get nominated for the Steam Awards, and I'm suggesting it for the Story Rich Game category.

Game shoutout: Inquisitor Trainer

I grew up playing grim-dark table-top games involving aliens chasing through the hulls of abandoned space ships, and space marines swearing allegiance to the dread Emperor. Inquisitor Trainer's a gorgeously hand-drawn game set in a world that may ...

Akane Bio

I realized I had forgotten to do a Bio for Akane, so I decided to make one. Akane is of course a libra, and actually the bustiest of the core group.

Her quote means 花: “Flower” 鳥: “Bird” 風: “Wind” 月: *Moon”, taken tog...

Wedding Complete

And with that I'm finally done with the Wedding Sequence, day 160. It's not the end of Act IX (I have another ~week of content to build),  but it is the single largest and most difficult sequence. I ended up really quite happy with it, and ho...

Steam Digital Tabletop Fest

Steam's Digital Tabletop Fest is live, and this year they're celebrating RPGs. Nobody was more surprised than me that they reached out to invite me to participate; usually us adult games are stuck in a silo somewhere where god-fearing people won't...
