Maybe i can start from my last save of my steam version and start to book 3 ?
Steam saves and F95Zone saves are totally compatible, and in the same location.

If you have Book 2 on Steam, that's also where I'm rolling out and testing... it's always going to have the latest.


To opt into it, right click, properties, betas, then select either BETA (stable) or DEVELOPMENT (latest). You don't need any special passwords,so leave that empty. The game's title will now change from Love of Magic Book 2: The War to Love of Magic Book 2: The War [Development], and start downloading the new content.

thx ! i will do this :) ( so no book 3 :eek: ? )
There will be, once I'm done with it.


If you're enjoying the game, do give it a wishlist... it makes a huge different on launch.

After that, I'll probably do a Game+ version of all 3 games that sits on Book 3's beta branch while I make it. The idea being that it'll allow you to load an end of book 3 save when you start the game, and all the characters name, some of the stats and choices carry forward. In addition to that it would have some additional scenes based on the player already having finished stuff.

This is a fantastic idea and I truly hope you do it! I have played books 1 & 2 enough to have achieved "my perfect character build" for MC but I get to missing the story so I go back even though I fear missing a trick (especially in book 1)... hehe gamers, eh? This will add whole new levels of possibility and replay ability for your wonderful story!! (y)(y):love:(y)(y)

One of the core inspirations for LoM was always the Persona 4/5 games. I won't go as far as have the ability to change the ending, because I feel strongly about the ending it'll have... but it's possible that the Game+ might have additional content beyond that main ending, for example. Or Cameos by people who only show up later in the game in the first run, etc. Some places where MC mentions that something feels... strangely familiar. :)

This is very exciting. I have said many times and in many ways (as have so many others) what a gifted developer you are and how much I enjoy LoM. Now, the end of the story doesn't have to quite be the end of the story... hehe Marvelous!!!

Just an FYI, some of the VNs you have in the pr0n folder on the PC have been abandoned, two I recognized as abandoned immediately were Polarity and Harmen Highlander.
You might already know, but just thought I'd mention it.

Not sure if this is a bug or something just not implemented yet. If I try to enter the glade X stops me telling me to check things out at Merlin's tower. But at Merlin's tower, I don't get any special options, just the usual resource/gold.

Yeah... As Aoife would say, the curse of a long life. I've been collecting them for a long time, and some of them were abandoned by good friends.

Having said that I should do something about it. Let me know which of them are abandoned, and I'll work things out.

Not implemented yet; there needs to be a larger game about the Rage mechanic there, because X will refuse to let him go there unless rage is < threshold, but other characters will respond in different way based on his rage. It's something I've planned out, but not implemented yet... gods know if it'll be interesting :)

Oh, also, minor typo;

"our" should be "out" presumably.

Tried playing this game a looooong time ago. Said it had animations then but didnt seen any but it was only book 1 back then. I'm curious to see if animations have been added. Also, if anyone has a save will all memories. That would be nice.

Yes. It has animations now. Oh boy does it have animations. Play from the beginning, though, because if you don't you will miss stuff.

Book 3's sitting on Book 2's Develop/Beta Branch on Steam, that's where I develop and test, so it's always got the latest. Usually updates 2-3 / week.

As for why get it on steam (or support it on Patreon)... because you like it, and want me to survive to complete it :)

Love of Magic started here on F95zone, and the two first acts were released here with no real intention to monetize it. Then 2020 happened, and... well, it's either making porn or flipping burgers :)
