Left Hand Magic [Build 20P] (2024) (Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android] [Novus]

Build 20P - 2024-10-04
This build supplies the remaining three days of weekday content for the Revina/Trix/MC week 6. It also (per patron voting) gets a start on week 6 for the Arianna/Talia/MC threesome route, with the first two weekdays now available. In total, there are 9 new animations, across 5 new game days. Overall, in this build are:

-Three new scenes (Days 3, 4, and 5) for Week 6 of the Revina/Trix/MC Route
-Two new scenes (Days 1 & 2) for Week 6 of the Arianna/Talia/MC Route
-A massive set of typo corrections through Talia and Revina's routes.
-Gallery Updates
-Credits Updates
-Bug Fixes
-Some new music in a few places

Build 19P
This build focuses on finishing up Talia's Week 6 Weekday content, as well as starting on the Revina/Trix Threesome Route for Week 6. There are two new days of content for each route. This Build adds:

Talia's Route - Week 6, Days 4 & 5
Revina/Trix Threesome Route - Week 6, Days 1 & 2
A replacement animation for Trix's Spanking scene during the Scavenger Hunt on the Revina/Trix Threesome Route. The new version looks much better.
Gallery Updates
Credit Updates
Bug fixes

Build 18
This build focused on finishing up the weekday content for Arianna's Week 6, as well as getting the first 3 days of Talia's content done for the same week. Along with some other bits and bobs.
Arianna's Week 6 Day 3, 4 and 5 are done
Talia's Week 6 Day 1, 2, and 3 are done
The Spanking animations for the Mira/Trix/Revina Scavenger Hunt have been replaced with something less horrible. The animation of the MC being spanked if final. The one of Trix being spanked is not as I didn't notice a physics issue until it was too late. That one will be replaced again in Build 19 (most likely)
A LOT of types in the first four weeks of the game have been fixed. Like, seriously a lot of them. Thanks goes to Jaike, for helping me find a lot of them.
Gallery and Credits have both been updated.
Android Release improvements! A couple of issues with the android release have been brought to my attention recently. One of them (regarding the cheats) is still an issue for the moment. But the other big one was fixed in this build. Specifically, it is now possible to properly 'hide' the textbox/window so that you can gaze on the sexy things happening on screen! I tied the command to a 'gesture.' Swiping 'down' on the screen will hide the textbox now, just like hitting H would on the PC/Linux/Mac versions. Just because I could, I also made it so that swiping 'Up' will open the Menu! Don't hesitate to let me know of other issues. I don't really test the Android version, so I might simply be unaware of them as I was with this one!
Build 17
This build focused on finishing up the Weekend 5 Events, as well as getting started on Arianna's Week 6 content! Included are:
Revina's Week 5 Event (2 Days, 3 animations)
The Arianna/Talia Threesome Weekend Events (2 Day, 3 Animations)
Day 1 of Arianna's Week 6 content (1 animation)
Day 2 of Arianna's Week 6 content (2 animations)
Various Bugfixes/Typo Corrections. A considerable number of typos corrected in the early game in particular.
Major overhaul of the Android Version to bring it down in size. Resolution has been lowered to 1920x1080p, but shouldn't be noticeable on most devices.

Build 14 - 2024-04-03
Build 14 mostly focuses on finishing up weekday content for Week 5. Talia's Route and Revina's Route are now finished through their week 5 weekday content. The Arianna/Talia Threesome Route got it's first two days, as well, leaving just 3 scenes left to do in all of week 5's weekdays. There is also a new Week 4 masturbation option for those stuck in chastity belts!

- Arianna/Talia/MC Route now has 2/5 days of it's Week 5 content.

- Gallery Overhauls to add a Page 2 to galleries that need it...as well as finally making it so you don't get kicked directly back to the main menu instead of the Gallery when trying to navigate the Gallery page. Note: Some of the new 'extra' scenes are out of order at the moment. I ran out of time/energy. It will take several hours of effort to put them where in the Gallery they should be, so I put that off for a future build.
-Typo and Bug fixes. Credits updated.

Build 7
Build 7 extends the Threesome Routes, fleshing them out quite a bit, showing more of what they will be in the long-run. It also contains most of the Weekday content for Arianna's Week 4. In total, the build contains 14 new scenes, with 17 animations. Included are:
- An extra Weekday encounter for both Threesome sets in Week 3.
- Weekend 3 events for both Threesome sets, truly getting both routes started in full
- 3 Week 4, Weekday encounters for each Threesome Routes
- 3 Week 4, Weekday encounters for Arianna
- 2 Variant Animations depending on Dom/Sub score in specific routes

Known Issues:
- Previous threesome routes saves that are past Weekend 2 will not work :-(
- Arianna's Week 4, Day 3 scene is currently not in the Gallery. I need to add a Page 2...
- A few of the routes don't make sense together. (Revina and Trix's solo routes, when combined with the Rev/Trix Threesome Route). This is something that will be address ed long-term. I just can't do every variant at once -_-.

Build 5
Build 5 focuses on the weekday content for Week 3. It add 10 scenes, with a total of 12 animations spread between them.

- 3 New Scenes for Arianna's Solo Route

- Gallery Updates
- Credits Updates
- Lots and lots of typo corrections, including in old content
- Lowered music volume for main menu a bit and rebalanced the volume of a few other tracks as well.
- KNOWN ISSUE: Old saves from an Arianna/Talia Threesome Route play through won't be able to trigger the new Arianna/Talia Threesome route content. Sorry :-(. I had to define a new variable. If you have a Threesome route save from just before the Week 2 Threesome content, that will still work. But you need to be able to play through the Week 2 Weekday threesome encounter again.

Build 4
The primary focus of this build was to get the second set of Weekend events into the game. Additionally, per Patron voting, Trix received her Week 3 weekday events.

Included in this build:

Build 1
Initial Rlease

Other Game Details:
This game, Left Hand Magic, is intended to be my first truly professional-quality Visual Novel. It's a little different than the free-roam style games I've made like Chastity Quest and Haven's Port, as a result...but I've still made sure their will be plenty of options in the game. By the time it's completed, it will have 7 routes the playthrough. One for each girl, two threesome routes, and a harem route. A few other details:

The Protagonist: Per patron voting, this game features a Female Elf as the protagonist. Young for an elf (she's barely over 100!) and more than a little bit of a tomboy...

Romanceable Characters: There are four major characters in the game, three women and one futa, who can all be romanced. There may or may not be a few side characters that you can have one-off encounters with, as well.

The Graphics: This game, while it is made with Daz3d, is made to a high standard. Renders are all 2k quality and, for the first time in one of my games, there are going to be quite a few animations. In this first build, there are five animated H-Scenes, with seven animations split among them. There are additional bits of H-content, as well as quite a bit of non-H character and world building.

Build 2, which was recently released to patrons, added an additional 14 animations split between seven scenes. Obviously, some (most as of Build 2) scenes have multiple animations. Not just multiple POVs for the same animation, either, but multiple unique animations. Likewise, the vast majority of animations have speed controls, as well. These are all 30-120 frame animations, not just simple 2-3 frame animations, which is why I differentiate them from the extremely crude flip-book style animations I used clear back in Eros Academy. These animations are the real deal, so to speak.
