Morningstar lets you continue playing after the end of the game by loading End of Game save. It'll teleport you back to The Last Drop on day 115, and let you clean up any side-projects you might have missed, run the Maze, or just chill with the gang.

I initially just wanted to put in some easter eggs; social media posts depending on what side-quests you've completed,  either on Titter or in Daemonfox. Snowdrop, predictably, won that little contest, and there's a number of new titts and an article with her if you've completed her story-line.

I also went back and added a little story-snippet for saying goodbye to Lin on the Path of Light; I had originally planned it for day 113, but it shifted the mood a little too much, and I ended up making it post-game content.

I WAS going to do the same for Path of Fire (just gently turning her down), but I'd forgotten that Lin is the master of hijacking, having worked her way from non-speaking extra to getting one of the 4 endings. Obviously this was going to go off the rails.

Since I was having fun rendering sexy times I decided I might as well add another character that I'd considered sexy times with, Sophia.

The game's on 30% discount now, for those of you still on the fence ;)

It's been a busy couple of months; I also completed Love of Magic's Book 2's New Game+ mode. 

It finishes the port of Book 2 to Book 3's final codebase (with lots of new gems and quality of life improvements), adds in several new sexy scenes, and a new chunk of story that's only available for people who've already completed the game (starting a new game with a save from the end of Book 3).  Love of Magic's on sale right now at 30% off, if you haven't tried it yet :)

Finally, with Morningstar and Book 2 NG+ complete, I'm diving into my next project.

Wings of Empire is a space opera set in a world where the Roman Empire never fell.

You were a Centurion in the Legion Special Forces, before an injury benched you. Unwilling to retire, you joined the Naval Academy, and now as a fresh graduate Fighter Pilot you join the Fast Attack Carrier Aquila as it heads into the Dark.

Wings of Empire is inspired by my love for epic space opera, like the Honorverse, The Lost Fleet, The The Alliance-Union Universe and many others. It also draws inspiration from scifi and anime movies and series, from Space Battleship Yamato to Starship Troopers.

Would you like to know more?

Like with Morningstar, Wings of Empire will be available as Early Access on Itch.io once it's far enough along in development. Right now you can help me out by giving it a wishlist on Steam, helping it have a great launch there when it eventually does:
