Short answer is that it's still there; I'm trying to put the 'launch book 2' to be only on the beta path, but something weird is going on with the launcher.
If you go to E:\steam\steamapps\common\Love of Magic\Book2 (for whichever folder is your root steam installation), it'll still be there. BUt I need to sort out how to get the launcher to work for Beta (and only beta) players.
Goof on Mana pool: As described, 3 by 6 miles, three times 100 yards deep. (300 yards) (4.8 by 9.6 KM, 300M deep) is 3 TRILLION gallons, 1,000 times bigger than 3 Billion gallons. There is two easy fixes:
1. Everywhere it is mentioned, change billion to trillion
2. Change the lake size: 1,000 feet wide (1/5 of a mile, 304M) 2,000 feet long 100 yards deep. (3 times 100 feet) That is still a 40 acre lake, (16 hectares)
Katie speaks Scottish, and so uses the original Scottish/English meaning of billion:
https://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-61424,00.html
(A little outdated, perhaps, but nobody said Bellanoch was a modern kinda place)
Now something I always wondered makes sense, the fact that Billion is local usage. Metric and scientific use tera for 10^12 and Giga, for 10^9, as in microwave giga-hertz or computer giga-byte.
BTW, a UK gallon is bigger than a US gallon, so 3 tera gallons US is 11.35 tera liters. 3 tera gallons UK is 13.64 tera liters.
If you want, you can start to refer to it as a 12 tera liter, or 12,000 giga liter mana pool starting at act X
Fun fact: 3 tera-gallons is enough to supply an 8 million population city such as London or New York City with 100 gallons of water per person for 10 years. (((edit: 100 gallons per person per day)))
In the US, large quantities of water are refereed to as acre-feet by farmers, enough water to cover 1 acre 1 foot deep, or 326,700 gallons US, 272,250 gallons UK, which makes the entire mana pool 10 million acre feet, or 1.25 million hectare meters if you prefer metric.
On the Dresden path, there will be Katie's perspective in the morning, then the MC in the evening, skipping the morning for the MC. I am thinking that it should be katies perspective in the morning, than switch to the MC, also in the morning.
Day 168 is ok, but days 169 & 176, have the bug.
I am not counting days that are Katie's perspective but the MC joins in like the funeral, and have not checked the outsider path. (yet)
EDIT: Finished Texas path, days 172, 175 & 178 also have the bug.
So the Beta testing path is only for Steam builds. There are 3 branches of the game:
- Default (Just book 2)
- Beta (will have completed Acts of Book 3 as I finish them, nothing yet)
- Development (advances as I make the game, but obviously not cleanly wrapped up).
The itch.io steam key is right now only for Book 1 (which has Book 2 on the beta branch)... I'll need to go ask Valve for more keys to do key give-aways for book 2 as well.
Hello Droid,
I am currently playing Book II (I have downloaded it in March this year) and there is a bug : when i click on an autosave at the end of an act, I cannot continue. Nothing happens when I click on the character on screen. I have currently played the two first acts, so I actually don't know if it is present for all of them. It is not a big problem for me (I just make sure to save once the next act has already started), but still I thought it is something that you probably wanted to know. I have checked and Book I (version 1.07b, from early 2021) doesn't have this bug.
I would like to take this opportunity to say the game is absolutely awesome, I enjoy it very much, thank you !
That's weird; send me the auto-saves, I'll have a look.
You can send them to: droidproductions@protonmail.com
You can find the saves here. Best solution is to just zip up the entire folder and attach it to something like gofiles or mega
PC: %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Droid Productions/Love of Magic
Mac:
