Molly's Prophecy

I had a bit of fun with this one last night. As usual, the renders are Daz, the composition is in Adobe AfterEffects. It contains visual spoilers for the end of Act III.

Molly's prophecy isn...

New public build: 0.3.16

A big thanks to the testers that have hammered on this new release. It's mostly focused on the poker-game, and cleanup, with no new story added.

Poker fixes

I've been spending the bulk of my time since the last release (0.3.9b) doing improvements on the poker game.

The most obvious one for a player is the addition of Visual and Sound Effects to...

Elsewhere and poker

Since the Crowley upgrade project is all about  bringing resources from Elsewhere, I'm spending some time hunting for bugs and fixing them in Elsewhere. I'm also spending some time documenting...

March Patreon poll : Crowley Encounter

In the sprint for Act III's release I forgot that I'm supposed to do a poll each 1st of the ...

Launch trailer

Had a bit of fun with the launch trailer. The music is Thorman's Theme, a track called Legend of the King, by Whi...

And it's out.  Act III's complete build is now live, you can get it directly from here:

Act III Release Candidate (0.3.8)

And finally, Act III's ready for public (I think). A huge thanks to the discord team that's been playing, balancing, spell-checking and poking holes in the story over the last month.

Act II...

Memory Moments

The final feature of Act III was a long requested 'memory' mode, where you can go back and look at events from the past. It unfortunately hasn't recorded anything you've seen so far (I wasn't track...

Once you pop, you can't stop

As often, once I start playing with something I tend to get shiny-objected. The first render of this sequence ended up being over-bright, but the second pass turned out okay.

Now to chill wit...

Act III content complete

And with 0.3.6, we're officially content complete. Now testing and bug-squashing can begin.  I hope to have the final version out by Friday night, so you guys can start playing. As always, the...

Content complete T-2

We're down to two scenes before Act III is officially content complete; I'm halfway through the swimsuit scene, and finished rendering some photos Emily sends you with her new swimsuit. I enjoyed t...

0.3.1

And with today's beta build the counter ticked over from 0.2.xx to 0.3.1, with the final event in the main story of Act III completed. This doesn't mean the whole ACT is done (I've still got Lakesi...

Have a Magical Valentine

Since Love of Magic has a strong romance theme, I figured I'd make some 4K wallpapers to celebrate Valentine.  Apart from that, remember to vote for your dreams on the Black Rose ...

Progress, Act III

If you're in discord you might have seen that we're almost at the end of the core story for Act III. With the end of Date 6, there'...

Character bio, Molly

I was a little hesitant about this poster; it's obviously got some Act II spoilers. But then I think everyone here has played the game that far, so I'd put up her current role, rather than her init...

Character Bio, Katie

Katie's your new best friend, advisor, and person voted most likely to get you into trouble by all the other characters.

She's a Leo, so let's see what that implies for her.

 <...

Bio posts

I've always loved little biography posts, so I figured I'd do one for each of the main characters. Emily is, of course, the first.

 She's a Capricorn, so let's see what the Capricorn hor...

Making of Timelapse video

One of the key lessons from teaching has always been that you should do it once to learn, then again to teach. So of course I started recording myself doing the After Effects composition of timelap...

Character Creation Timelapse

I get a lot of questions about how my asset creation works; since I'm doing animating characters, and develop in Unity, it looks quite unlike most Visual Novel type games, which are typically creat...

Love of Magic logo teaser

I did a quick tutorial on how to do a logo reveal trailer (I should really have done a video of making off video... next time). It was a quick 10 minute job, but I liked the final outcome.. hopeful...

Monthly poll #1

I'll be doing this polls on the first of each month, running it for 2 weeks (that's the plan, at least.. let's see how it goes). The first poll deals with the Black Rose optional quest line. When w...

Issue and Progress tracker

One of the things I added to the Patreon list was access to an issue and bug tracker. Since it's just me working on this project task-tracking has largely been notepad, but it's time to be a little...

New Update: 0.2.14

And I'm finally done with the big 'mid way' build. In the same way as the Act I midway build focused on Slice of Life events, Act II focuses on Elsewhere. I'm finally getting enough 'meat' on it th...

Credits post

Now that I have patreons, I should really get them into build. Finished setting up the credits page (from settings -> Credits). I'm still playing with the visuals, but the basic functionality is...

Act III work

I'm deep in work on Act III, but I'll likely do a mid-term build halfway between Act II and Act III. Apart from various bug-fixes, it's all about tuning Elsewhere (more monsters, more loot, more ev...

Act II release

Finally, after 2 months, Act II is complete. It adds another ~1+ hour of core storyline, several new side-quests, and a replayable RPG dungeon where you can train your poker skills, unlock conversa...

TGIF

Some fun wallpapers. And remember to drink responsibly!

With some luck, and the blessing of the beta testers, Act II should be done by the weekend.

Bella

While the bulk of the work right now goes into Elsewhere, I figured I'd take a break to introduce a new character. Moibeal 'Bella' Hume is a Hunter, basically supernatural SpecOps. While not a mage...

Act I ending

The main menu will change in subtle ways, each time an act is completed it'll morph gradually, trying to stay alive.

Completing Act I will give you a new character on the team. Other changes ...
