I don't talk much about the other stuff I do, but I thought I should share this. As some of you know I used to work in the normie industry as a coder before turning to the dark side of porn games. I started Love of Magic as a hobby project (at this very site, in fact) that eventually ended up taking all my spare time, but in addition to that I also convinced my co-workers back at the normie studio to try porn.

The first game we made as a studio is called Paradise Lust, a lovely 2D VN/Point'n'click that's closing up on complete after 2+ years of development ( ).


Today we announced our next game, Sinners Landing, an RPG/VN. It'll be coming to Steam around the same time we complete Paradise Lust, so if you want to help give it the best possible launch, (it helps tell Steam that this is a real game, not some asset-flip).

If you're curious about it, you can read more about it in this open Patreon Post.
:unsure: :unsure:

...is that a llama? Slightly disconcerting...:sneaky: :ROFLMAO:

Well I found an exploit for +1 to all 3 stats every day :) If you choose not to have sex with Katie after beating her in a spar you can challenge her again every day, and not only that but it doesn't move time forward unless you try to challenge her a second time and she plays the draw dialogue, without requiring you to buy whisky.

By the way... are you playing this from Book 1 first? Book 3's like 40 hours into the story, so I'm not sure how much makes sense to you :)

Book 1 is day 1-115, and tells the story of how you meet the characters and fall in love.
Book 2 is day 116-194, and tell the story of the war
Book 3 is day 195->288 (ish), and tell the story of the Return
Yes I have played from the begining - any plans to do another story like Love of Magic?

I'm on day 208 and I am stuck in Merlin's tower. I have no way to leaving.
Yeah, heard about this bug; it lets you access Merlin's tower from the overlook before it's supposed to be unlocked. I'll fix that in the next public build. You should be able to use quick jump (or sleeping) to get out.

So how does one talk to the dragon in book 3?
It only shows if you at least hatched the egg from Draco's questline in Book 2. At that point, it'll show up somewhere (randomly) if you enter the Elsewhere map when you're not in the middle of a conversation moment.

His other game showed a lot of promise, it was a shame when it got completed so prematurely. With a cool setting like this, and the dev seeming like he learned a lot from his first project, this will hopefully end up as something special. Best of luck to the dev!
The only gambling in this game is which monster you encounter on the paths and what they drop :cool:

The cards are there more as a scoring mechanism in the non-twitch combat system. Basically a high poker hand can play a higher level effect than a weaker (but more common) hand. You can strategize around this. You will often have a choice of several different poker hands to chose from, and you can chose the one that aligns with your strategy and the situation, e.g. playing a low level stun could be much more important than a big damage play, if the monster's next attack is its hellbeam.

It's a unique and surprisingly rich combat system, but it suffers from a lack of common references. Yes it is a 'card game' and uses poker 'valuations', but that's all it has in common with poker, and most card games. It has 'gems' you put into 'slots' but has nothing else in common with gems or bejeweled.

Personally I'm 'ok' with card games from a casual 'pass the time' standpoint, but I find most 'card combat' and 'gambling' games insipid, and have card games on my exclude list. I wouldn't even SEE this game normally as a result, and that would be unfortunate because the things about card and gambling games that I don't enjoy aren't here and the things I find appealing in an AVN are.

Since I just picked up a new graphics card (finally got around to buying a 3090) I figured I'd add some new animations to Book 1's opening act, for fun.

Pushed to the beta branch of Steam now, if you want to check it out, it's mostly adding to day 2 (walk in animation), the two first homeworks and the first date.
