Okay, I know Owyn (/MC) and Emily are already married, but I've personally been looking forward to writing this sequence for a long time. She married him on the battle-field, but on Valentine's Day they finally get to have a ceremony :)

I love good 2D games, they remind me of the glory-days of Sierra Entertainment and Lucasarts. I spent hundreds of hours looking for love with Larry Laffer, being a pirate with Guybrush and becoming a hero in Quest for Glory.
The friendly and gorgeous graphics of Faulty Apprentice look every bit as good as my memories o...
So, I spent some time today setting up a Steam group/curator, because why not? I play a lot of adult games... I think every gamedev that doesn't play their competition is screwing up. And I thought to myself, why not just post some of my thoughts as I go along.
There are some caveats; my mother's advice that ...
Lord of the Rings is trending for obvious reasons, and I saw this image of Lady Arwen, the Eveningstar.

I had a request for a SFW version of the two wallpapers, so I did a quick re-render of her in the glowing armor.

I enjoyed the Hakone no Kitsune wallpapers, so I decided I wanted to try a similar study of another girl I really like, which hasn't gotten any nude content. Val (or Valery Reine) is a Chosen of Freya, or a Valkyrie.
They're designed as Wallpapers in that they explicitly leave the left hand side (where most of us keep...
I was doing a quick nude study of Kitsune, and enjoyed them enough to turn them into wallpapers (21:9 and 16:9 aspect ratios at 3440x1440 and 2560x1440 respectively).
As a small bonus; Happy Octoberfest from the girls at your favorite pub :)
It took some hardcore bug-squashing, but I think we finally got most of them, and Book 1's remaster is now ready and up. All in all I touched some 80% of all the images, re-colored, reframed and added backgrounds to them. In addition I added a number of single frame animations, and 3 big new NSFW animations to help give more ...

I know I said I wasn't going to update Book 1 any more. I was wrong.
The work I did on single-'frame' looping animations for Book 2 made me realize how many of the sequences in Book 1 could 'relatively easily' be upgraded to be cooler. Experienced project managers will feel the icy cold hand of dread at such a state...
A running joke on the discord is "which actor would play the characters in an LoM movie". Well, it looks like it might be the AIs who do.

I wanted to add some special effects to this image, and then save a single frame to file for use in-game. But once I started playing with it, I thought it looked cool enough that I wanted to build a system for having little 2 second backgrounds like this as an alternative to static images in situations where magic is in use.<...

I've made a bunch of wallpapers over the two years I've been working on this game, but I realized they're kinda scattered over a lot of different places. I decided to put them together into IMGUR albums, since those allow high-resolution versions for downloads:

I'm working through the process for making the Android build work past 2GB; it'll basically involve downloading content from a server. Right now it's in the Google Cloud, but I'll likely move it somewhere else before prime time.

I finally finished Act VIII+ last night, and the Discord testing team has been on it since then.
I usually leapfrog development; Act VIII was a core story update (advancing the ingame calendar and building the game's core narrative), while Act+ updates expand on the world, and build new functionality. This one did a bi...
I'm close enough to release that I'm hopeful it'll be done this weekend. I had dreams of doing it *last* weekend, but I got side-tracked by the new Strategy minigame I was working on.
Act VIII+ will be an Edinburgh centric episode, with new content for Chloe, Mom, Booker, Diana and (of course), Jenny, who ended up stea...
I personally found the battle at the end of Act VIII a little anti-climactic (big video, then nothing). So I decided to go back and create a little sub-game for strategic level combat; it's something I'll be needing for various other sequences in Book 2 and Book 3 *anyway*, so it's probably time well spent.
The b...
I obviously love using music to set tone in the game (if you've been playing with the game silent all this time, it might be worthwhile enabling music, since it has a lot of impact on the bigger scenes).
I was going to make a single video highlighting all the music, until I realized just how many songs there are, and ...
Finally got around to setting up the official Steam storefront for Love of Magic Book 2. The War is coming!

I wasn't totally sold on the noise / fire distortion, and by the comments others agree... so with a bit of experimentation I removed it. I like this version a lot better; what do you guys think?

With Act VIII+ almost done, I figured it was time to get started on an official trailer for book 2. I'm not 100% certain about the end result (it feels a little 'noisy' to me), though I'm 100% certain about the song.
Apart from that, I'd love feedback on the Act VIII+ sequences, on Steam beta now. I added a lot more J...
I'm done with the first chunk of Edinburgh content, which involved rewriting the computer, and writing more Jenny content. She's been largely forgotten, poor girl, and it's time to fix that. I also took time to make some additional Chloe and Booker content
The plan for the next week or so is more Mom content, and more ...
So, Aracore had an interesting idea (which I totally support). If Molly ever talked Bella into a matching cosplay session to tease Master into a threesome... what would they dress up as?
It wouldn't be act VIII+, which is focused on Edinburgh, but it'd make a fun side-story for Act IX. Ideas and suggestions welcome.

Writing another Chloe sex scene, and as always Kath gets to play photomodel for the variations. I'm thinking of going for the Innerboob solution as our gift for Chloe... what do you guys think?
I haven't done one of these for a while, so I thought it would be fun to add a quick poll on what content people most want to see. Act VIII+ aims to refresh Edinburgh's content for Book 2 (it's been kinda sad and abandoned). Currently I'm looking at building content that fit across all of Book 2, though some will be gated bas...

Hopefully this is the final update for Act VIII; I had a brief scurrying around (as you can see from the rapidly growing changelog in the last 2 days) fixing little bugs, and then fixing the bugs my fixes caused. But I think (hope?) that 0.2.5b is our final candidate.
This is a main-line update, taking us from day 134-...
And with that, Act VIII's officially done. The testers are on it, and I suspect I'll be doing 0.2.4d and possibly e tomorrow. But it's so close that I can smell it. Once it's ready it's time to move on to Act VIII+, which centers on rebuilding the Edinburgh side of the game. There'll be new content with Mom, Chloe, Diana and ...

And with the big end sequence of day 151 complete the build-counter ticks from 0.1.44 to 0.2.1. I've still got a smaller day 144 event to write (it's mostly done rendering), but the end is feckin' neigh, as Katie might say.
I'm hoping I can get it all written and tested by this Friday, so that's my internal deadline.&n...
I was doing a small render of Valery for day 151, and in doing so I removed her suit to check the pose for clipping.
Since I haven't (yet) done any sex content with Val I'd completely forgotten just how thicc I made her. She's not unfit, but she's certainly someone who doesn't skip leg-day. And I also remembered how tr...
I'm almost done with Act VIII; I've got one final video to assemble, and then Katie's return sequence to write. We're deep in testing now, so hopefully the final build will be coming out in a week or two.
While I was making one of the clips that make up the final cutscene I thought it might be interesting for some of y...
