Love of Magic News

The bulk of this update is just small bug-fixes for continuity issues. I fixed up the streamer mode, redid a few graphics and scenes, fixed up typos, and tweaked a few images.

I also added a cheat to let Steam users access the Game of Friends (other NSFW gamedevs I know whose games show up on MC's ingame-PC). You can enable them by enabling the debug console (CTRL+J), then adding the flag GAME_OF_FRIENDS. This was removed from the Steam version because it's considered in-game advertising, so use with care.

Full changelog:

1.2.4
- Added support for Game Of Friends (little snippets of other games from devs I know) to Steam version, locked behind a secret key
- Added visual information for streaming mode

1.2.3c
- Added a new image for the Akane/Kitsune Elsewhere call screen (used for after Kitsune gets her full three tails)
- Fixed a bug where Narration wasn't responding correctly to the large text flag

1.2.3b
- Fixed the Princess costume being set as not-SFW
- Fixed a bug where entering the name for a character would auto-advance the story

1.2.3
- Redid Emily's power eyes
- Improved flow day 106
- Improved streamer mode

1.2.2
- Updated visuals on the day 106 sequence
- Added a new video for day 106
- You can now have 5 gem sets
- Fixed typos

Beta Branch just updated with the complete Act IX+ for Book 2.

I usually leapfrog development; the normal Acts (Act I, II, etc) will advance the timeline, adding more main story events. The Act+ updates will update the sandbox, adding more activities that fill the world, tell optional back-stories and side-content that you can track down.

Act IX+'s focus is on the King's Dragon, the bar that your Chosen runs. You can optionally upgrade it as the game progresses, adding more rooms, more activities and more people that live, love and get drunk there.


The underlying theme of Act IX+ is to tell those stories; a mixture of epic backstories, romance, erotic content and the occasional humorous episode. Some of the highlights:

Teach your pet dragon how to be a Natural Born Killer


Discover the backstory for the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Xochiquetzal.


Bring your wife for a relaxing time at the Onsen.


Get drunk and have fun with the resident Demon Foxes.


And much more.



Act IX+ is definitely the largest World Expansion update I've done so far, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Hope you all enjoy it too!

It's Christmas time, and the girls of Love of Magic send their regard. I often enjoy doing little side renders, never intended to go ingame, just to play with lighting and learn a little.



Of all the renders I did over Xmas, I think this one's my favorite; there's something very sexy about their expressions, and they sit very nicely against the background. It's also related to the new content I'm working on, which I guess makes it a little hotter.


A lot of the wallpapers I make are a little raunchy, but sometimes the innocent ones are the nicest. This one was what I used as the motif for the Winter Sale event, so I guess most of you have seen it already. I still love the effect of lighting on Emily's face.


Some image don't make the cut to wallpaper, though they're nice in their own way. This one's got my two favorite redheads inviting you to have a drink with them, and the reds and golds of the foregrounds plays perfectly with the blue/white background.,


On development side, I'm around 2/3rds through Act IX+, a section of the game that's playable across most of Book 2, dealing with the people who live, drink and love inside the King's Dragon. If you've got Beta enabled on the game the first 6 events are already playable, with more coming more or less daily this week.

With that I wish all of you a happy holiday. May every day be magical, may you be with the love of your life, and may a door mouse never leave your pantry with a teardrop in its eye.

It's finally the winter holidays, and Steam's Winter Sale kicks off today. Love of Magic is available at 35% off, in case you want to gift a copy to a romantic pervert you know.



The event theme for today came from this wallpaper set I put together today. You can grab the full high res versions from Imgur, where they're available in 3840x2160 (16:9), 3440x1440 (21:9 aspect) and 5637x2306 (22:9 aspect) resolutions.

Thanks for all the support, and I hope all of you have an amazing holiday season!

After a quick detour to polish Book 1, I'm back working on Book 2. This release extends the main timeline of the game by 22 days, ending on Day 166. You can play it now by enabling the Beta branch on your Book 1 game. If you enjoy it, remember to Wishlist Book 2 on Steam , it really helps the eventual launch.

The Act's relatively dense, with 15 calendar events, and numerous optional / side events, but without a shadow of a doubt my favorite element is the formal wedding ceremony, on Valentine's Day (Feb 14th).



So what's next? I usually leapfrog these builds, so with Act IX done it's time for IX+. These are events that are not 'auto triggered' by day, but rather exist to flesh out the world and make it feel alive. Act IX+'s content will center on the King's Dragon, telling stories of the various people who live and drink there.

Hope you all enjoy the update, and let me know if there's any issues!
