Just curious, is there supposed to be 4 blank images in the memories for Molly that when you click on them you get the default Emily and MC default placeholder pic?
No; Murphy was out in full force last night. First my internet choked (I was getting 15kb/s uploads for a while). That then caused Unity's shader compiler to crash (why, I have no idea, but it wants internet access). That crashed the build, and corrupted it to the point where I had to do a clean checkout to recover it. In the process that broke the Android build-chain (which was why the 0.4.5b Android version was 2.1gb, not 1.6gb), and I'd forgotten to commit the last set of images added to the Addresseables. I'll likely do a bug-fix in a day or two once I see what other bugs fall out when it's shaken... doing a full set of 5 builds across 4 mirrors ends up taking ~20GB worth of uploads, so I'd rather wait a little.


If you're curious, these are the 4 pictures she sends if you bought her the outfit. If you didn't buy it for her, she'll buy it herself before the end of Act V, and you only get one photo as reward

I just wanted to say three things, one is that this is hands down one of my favorite games on this site, the story is really well done and I love the characters you've introduced so far. Two is that I think you should probably word the "last public release" note as latest rather than last, because whew I was concerned there for a minute. Lastly, do you have a source you pull from for outsiders and their relationship to the fae? I'm asking because I'm a huge fan of a book series called The Dresden Files, where there's a ton of interplay between the fae and a group specifically known as outsiders, and I was just curious if you had historical sources that you've used for this, if it was a coincidence, or even just an intentional little nod at the series.

I agree. I mentioned something similar. Where our great creator told us that he was planning on 15 acts? Or something like that. See page 122 on this thread.

And to say that I loved the update. <3

Still planing ~15 acts :)

Obviously I also planned for 5 acts in book 1, so my track record is spotty :)

Well you really went all out with the animated sequences. Congratulations on another superb update.

Man does Molly ever know how to manipulate people in regards love/lust/sex.



P.S.: Just took a look at the wiki. And seeing the two characters advertising the discord with knowing the story gave me a good chuckle.

That's Landrassa (an F95/Discord regular who's been editing the wiki's work... I giggled at it as well)

Hey, so I need some help triggering the black rose stuff again. I've started with an end of act 4 (automated) save, so I don't really remember how many roses I used, since it's been a while since then. I gave a rose to jenny, but nothing happens in the following days. Tried talking with Olivia multiple times (saw a suggestion about that in the thread), doesn't make a difference, nothing happens, no extra options when talking to Jenny. I don't remember if I did Olivia's Ceremonial Magic , but I am in day 89 already, so that should have already triggered, right? Don't know what else to try.

Are the porn folder games recommendations of the dev's favorite games or something, how are they selected?

Go into elsewhere and search for another rose (You can find them at shrines iirc) if you don't have one on the desk in the MCs room.

Also check Olivia, there should only be two chat options left (Telling her you're there for studying and the option to leave)

Check if the cafe is open for you after closing hours by asking her to stay open longer.

Now check the cafe after closing hours.

Make sure you weren't there beforehand and reading/socializing. You need to enter the location after closing hours

I went into "new game +" for a bit and I got the massage from Molly that she bought herself an Elsewhere outfit despite me buying it for her earlier during the regular timeline. At least I'm assuming it's the same outfit. The image is missing (white) just like with the email from her after buying it. I'm guessing that's a bug.

Oh boy, Droid keeps delivering time after time again.

Going from Making Movies to those animated scenes, you wonder what comes next.
Guess if we hear of a break in at Pixar and stolen rendering rigs, we'll know! :)

The story telling was already there and great, here we have improves character models and visuals,
with that improvement rate you are really looking forward to the next game!

Am I right in the assumption that Book 2 will a new game?

I already gave Jenny a black rose (without anything triggering afterwards), i have a black rose on the table, but I can't give it to her again, for Olivia there are only 2 chat options (the two you mentioned). Cafe is open after closing hours by asking her to stay open longer. And I checked the cafe in the night, without being there before that day. After closing hours is supposed to be night right? Any other ideas?

Sorry I'm out of ideas then.

If you want you can post your save and I'll have a look tonight. They are in *\appdata\LocalLow\Droid Productions\Love of Magic
you can open the folder by typing %appdata% going up one step in the folder structure out of Roaming and then into LocalLow.

It's one of the saves marked save_XX.sav the X representing the spot in the savegame list

(The top most is the highest number, bottom most is the lowest. Not counting the pre generated end of act saves. To verify it's the correct file give it a recognizable name when you save and then search for that name in the .sav using a text editor like notepad++ to make sure it's the right file)
