One of the key inspiration for Love of Magic was always the Persona series of RPGs. The core game loop of a calendar with advances automatically (mixing fixed events and free roaming time), the inclusion of companions to romance, a replayable dungeon to explore, books to read and even some of the character archetype inspirations. 

One of the things I wanted to include was New Game+. You'd play through the game, and after completing it you got the option to play it again (with some changes), and explore the "true ending". 

This is the finished New Game+ build for Book 1 of Love of Magic. Finish Book 3, and it'll generate a final savegame (Act16.sav3). Start this version of Book 1, and it'll ask you if you want a New Game, or a New Game+. The New Game+ will start you off with higher stats (10/10/10), more cash (10,000) and all your gems from the end of Book 3. More importantly, it'll add in new events, and change the story in a number of small ways. 

While doing that I also decided to do some minor upgrades; a number of scenes got additional renders and cutscenes, all the key books got covers, and I added some new fan-service quests (hopefully pacifying the Kult of Kath, and Olivia fans). The whole game was also ported to Book 3's engine, with all the improvements that comes with that (rollback, replaying scenes, prettier graphics, etc).

With that, Book 1 is... done. My focus now is on Morningstar: Book of the Fallen. Act V: Kingdom Come is almost done, and with that I've got just one more act before the game is done. The story will conclude in Act VI: Alpha & Omega. Morningstar's a darker urban fantasy, with many of the same characters in a very different world. You play as an MMA fighter, plunged into a supernatural conflict between Angels and the forces of Darkness. Inspired by 80s/90s action movies like Rocky, Highlander, The Crow, The Matrix and John Wick, it's a fantasy story in a world of darkness in the dark alleys of New York.
