Hotfix 1.7.2i
This hotfix fixes a security issue in Unity, that made doing a new build recommended. I also took the opportunity to clean up various localization issues, making new cards for Elsewhere and various little quality of lif…
Love of Magic Localization
Love of Magic's a big game; the full trilogy has ~650k words (about the same as Lord of the Rings + Silmarillion). There's been several attempts at localizing it, but each fan-translation has crashed against the sheer a…
Hotfix 1.6.12f
This is a tiny bug-fix; the system will now recognize end of game saves generated both from the original game (which had an extension of .sav3) and the New Game+ version (which has an extension of .ng3). This means you…
New Game+ Complete
One of the key inspirations for Love of Magic was Persona 4 Golden, a timeless RPG from Atlus. You can even encounter MC and Dylan discussing it in the coffee-shop, the mix of a regular calendar with optional sandbox ev…
Quick Patch
A user reported that Steam Achievements weren't firing on Steam side, due to the Steam SDK being disabled. This update fixes that; if you have achievements that haven't yet triggered on Steam, entering the Achievements…
Morningstar Launch Sale

This is a small bug-fix release that solves some achievements not triggering correctly in the new NG+ code. A big thanks to the players who went chevron hunting and found the bugs for me. In other news, I'm now starting…
Hotfix 1.6.11c
The nice thing about pushing the game to the default branch is that lots of people get to test. The downside is that lots of people test :) I *think* (he says, hopefully) that this is the last of the achievement bugs. A…

Small bugfix for reported issues on achievements not triggering: Fixed Going Nova (250+ fire applied) Fixed Untoucable (player having 1500+ shields)
Hotfix 1.6.11
This is a quick Achievements focused hotfix: - Fixed the Streamer tab on MC's PC being disabled, which meant you couldn't unlock "Voices in my Head" achievement. - Fixed Toxic Environment not triggering - Added a button…
New Game+ Updates
With version 1.6.10f, I think I'm mostly done with Book 1 of Love of Magic; far enough that I can start on Book 2's New Game+ mode, at least. I spent the weekend setting it up, and porting the codebase to the NG+ codeba…
Hotfix 1.6.9e

This is mainly a hotfix dedicated to SteamDeck, which gets several smaller updates. In addition there are updates to Text-To-Speech on PC and Mac.
New Game+
This update pushes the New Game+ mode to default branch (where 85% of players are). Hopefully the weeks of testing has smoked out any remaining issues; if not, let me know and I'll stomp on the bugs :) For those discove…
New Game+
One of the main influences for Love of Magic was of course Persona 4 and 5. I loved the way it combines a sandbox with a constantly progressing calendar, the themes of balancing a normal life against a supernatural dest…
