Left Hand Magic - Build 26 (Public Release)
🕑 Added 2025-04-02 21:44:15 +0000 UTCAlright! With Build 27 out for $5+ Patrons, it's time for Build 26 to go public! Notably, this is one of the last public releases of the game. The game isn't quite done yet, but the New Game+ Harem Route is something I've always intended to be exclusively for Patrons and the Steam Release. After all, why should someone bother buying a Steam release of the game if there's a 100% complete and completely free public release of it floating around everywhere? As such, the Harem Route, along with some other extras, will not be released publicly. Patrons, of course, will get both (indeed Build 27 includes some of the other extra content).
There will be at least one more Public Release, as I'm going through and cleaning up the game. Build 27 replaced eleven old animations with dramatically improved versions. There are another 13 slated to get that treatment, and a lot of the early-game stills are going to be either enhanced or replaced. These, along with a massive sound overhaul and some other Quality of Life upgrades, will make it into the final Public version in a 2-3 months. As will the alternate Friends-with-Benefits route for Arianna.
Now, that said, let's talk about Build 26 itself! The main feature of Build 26 is, of course, getting through the endings of the Arianna/Talia, Revina, and Talia routes. Each of those now extend out through their respective epilogues! Yay! That means six of the seven routes for the game are now done. Well, save for a lot of clean up work. Speaking of clean up work, while the new endings only add six new animations (and a lot of stills because of the Epilogues), there are also seven replacement animations for earlier content in this build. You can see a list of which animations have had some fixes made in the release notes. A special note, however...while the animations have been redone/retouched, the still renders around them have not. Not yet.
That does serve to show just how drastically some of the earlier ones have improved (I've gone through three rounds of hardware upgrading while working on this game), but that's not intentional. It's simply a side effect of all the overhauls being done piecemeal. I'll be going through and retouching a lot of older stills in the not-so-distant future as well, in order to make the game as consistent throughout as possible. I just haven't gotten there yet!

Left Hand Magic - Build 26 Release notes!
Build 26 finishes out the existing routes of the game, plus adds a batch of replacement animations for ones that had issues. Included are:
The Council Sessions for the Revina, Talia, and Arianna/Talia Routes. All somewhat different!
A final two stage animation set for each of the three routes.
An Epilogue for each of those three routes, compete with 10-12 still images for each one.
Replacement of the second animation of the Trix Weekend 4 Public Pet event. Removed leaves clipping through their bodies.
Replacement of the second animation of the Trix Week 6 'Portal Panties' set (post dress fitting on day 5). Fixed a minor issue with the MC's right leg leaving the ground in a very silly looking way.
Replacement of Trix Formal Party (Weekend 6 event) first animation had been replaced with one that's quite a bit less melodramatic in the MC's movements.
Replacement of the animation for Week 1, Day 3 event for Arianna. It had it's animation fixed slightly. A very minor tweak to movement and a massive color improvement.
Replacement of the Revina Weekend 3 second animation. Movement was several different flavors of screwy and was redone almost from scratch, though looks similar to the old animation.
Replacement of the Week 6, Day 5 second animation for the Talia Route (post dress fitting). The original animation has some serious issues and most of them have been fixed.
Replacement of the first animation of the Week 3 Arianna/Talia threesome event (Ruins VR game). Movement of the MC/Talia blowjob in the background was very horrid looking and has been...improved. Not entirely fixed, despite my best efforts and multiple attempts. But it's at least a lot better.
Typo Corrections and Bug Fixes, including a bug with the Trix/Rev gallery that wasn't showing the Epilogue event when it should have.
