Morningstar Act III complete

Added 2024-02-25 09:07:56 +0000 UTC

Finally done with Act III of Morningstar. It's a bit of a monster, tracking from day 35 to day 54, including 30+ calendar events, new updates for the Questlines for Lin, Snowdrop and Katja, and featuring new dates for both Katie and Emily.

It also advances past Katie's fight, introduces a new MMA fight with MC, and expands on the Match3 combat, introduces new repeatable events, and helps streamline the early gameplay with new quests.

This update also includes experimental support for SteamDeck and gamepad controllers in general.

Overall I'd say I'm more or less halfway done with Morningstar at this point; the game has found its groove, and now it's a matter of following through and finishing it up.

As always I hand out Steam keys to any supporters that wants on; let me know in the comments, on Discord or drop me a DM if you want a key. I've also updated the Direct Download links with Act III for those of you who prefer to avoid Steam.

Apart from that, Love of Magic is joining a bundle with a group of other awesome Visual Novels on Steam today. Some of you may already know Project: Passion (Classy Lemon), Price of Power (Pandaman Games), The Seven Realms (SeptCloud Games), Between two Worlds (Drooskati Games) and Glowing Stones (Moonlight DevCorp). I think this is probably the best collection of Romance and Story-centric Visual Novels available on Steam, and it's a pleasure to be associated with it.

So, what's next? With Act III complete I'm returning to Love of Magic's New Game+ mode. The whole of Book 1 is now playable in NG+ (on a branch called ngplus on Steam), and I'm now going in and doing some final updates and additional events. Stuff like better integration of Text to speech, Gamepad / Steamdeck support, and some new events that's purely focused on NG+.
