1.0.1. Marks the final build of Love of Magic's Book 1 (The Crown). This takes care of the first 4 months of MC's rise from Newb to God, and sets the stage for the War to come. The story continues in Book 2 (The War) and completes in Book 3 (The Return). Like all good fantasy books it's a trilogy  ;)

This build adds achievements, cleans up all the known bugs, adds in some side-events, rebalances combat to make different Gem combinations more viable, fixes continuity issues and in general sets the stage for the next book. Keep your savegame; it'll be reused in Book 2 (so the various decisions you've made impact the world). If you don't have one, the opening conversation will set you up.

Some people ask why I'm making it 3 standalone books. The first reason is size; the game is already 3.2GB+, and it's starting to get unwieldy to build and upload. The second reason is to make bug-testing easier: I'd hate for new features I made in Act IX to break something in Act I. This actually happened in testing 1.0.1, since rebalancing the Direct Damage gems caused the Minotaur on Day 1 to have a chance to kill the player. 

Finally, with Book 1 complete, the game will go up on Steam (at a $15 price-point). As such I'll end up making it paid here as well (and give away a free Steam key for anyone who buys it here); Steam doesn't approve of other storefronts undercutting it. I'll keep it free until it hits Steam formally. I initially thought of making it free on Steam as well, but 2020 has been a miserable year financially. As always, if you're a Patreon, let me know and I'll send you a Steam key.  

I hope you've enjoyed Book 1; it's been a blast to create. It became a lot bigger than I initially thought, I fell in love with the characters in ways I didn't expect, and I can't wait to see where they'll take me in Book 2 and ahead.

Thanks,
