The LITG Archive Project

This is a fully text-based archive of Love Island The Game Seasons 1 to 3 in an interactive fiction playable format made with ink and Atrament. 💕 Game is on itch.io. (Last updated on September 09, 2024.) 💕 Here is why this had to be done.

Mobile-friendly. Browser-playable. Saves progress locally on your browser. Has light, dark, and sepia mode. Can change font and font size.

There are still many missing variables. They will be marked (INCOMPLETE). If you choose them, you will be shown a partial scene or sent to the next scene.

💕 Check here what else may be missing from the records.

Everyone who has contributed references, most especially the LITG FF Discord. To everyone who has offered their support. techniX for Atrament.

💕 Full credits here.

Feel free to send comments, suggestions, content, or whatever through Tumblr (@litgarchive), Discord (@pine), or Email ([email protected]).

I am not yet done with Day 6 Part 3, unfortunately.

Really hoping to get the time and energy to finish it so I can at least get another day out there.

Working on it still though.

Apologies.

After checking the current files and notes, this is what I have:

Day 6 to 13 mostly based on one route (mostly Harry's), with some routes included

Day 5 Parts 1 to 3 divided into scenes

Day 5 Part 2 fill-up ongoing

My workflow is:

Getting the base script into its proper individual files based on Day and Episode (e.g. Day 5 Part 1, Part 2, Part 3);

Dividing each Episode into scenes and sub-scenes;

Filling in choices;

Adding in Ink to make it interactive;

Testing; and

Wrapping it all up in Atrament to make it playable.

Day 5 should be dropping next month, barring any major incidents IRL.

Hiya!

Yes, I am fine at the moment! I really am sorry for the lack of updates and such in the past months. Lack of transparency won't happen again, I promise!

First of all, I want to thank you and the entire fandom community for all the work you're doing to preserve the first seasons of LITG. They were my favorites, and I was really disappointed when they were taken down.

I wanted to ask if there’s even a remote possibility of remaking the game using the available visual resources, considering all the media the community has gathered—or if that's something you guys are working towards. Just to be clear, I already deeply appreciate all the hard work you’re putting in (because I know it takes a lot of effort and dedication), but I was wondering if this could be a possibility and if there's any way we could help make it happen.

Hello!

Thanks for this message! I really appreciate it! Checking my notes and given the updates to Atrament (the UI this project uses), I had plans on adding some images just to give a glimpse of the vibe the original app had, but in general, my main goal (and still is) is to preserve the story text (in case Fusebox sticks to their word about, uh, "remastering" the first seasons).

(Sidenote, but I saw a screenshot of someone referring to Season 5 as Season 2 and my breath and one brain cell decided to leave me. That hurt!)

Anyway, once that is done, it would be nice to have something more similar to the original, but I would have to learn how to use Godot or another UI/software that I could use with ink (which is the narrative script I am using). It's not feasible for me in the foreseeable future, unfortunately.

Hello, Nonny!

An LITG Archive Much Needed Update; I Am Sorry This Is So Late

Hello!

First off, I do apologize. I have not yet checked the messages on my inbox. I will be responding as soon as I post this. I haven't really checked in on Tumblr for a while now, and personal circumstances had me drop most of the things that I had been working on in the past months, including this one.

I apologize for the lack of transparency, disappearing off into the void which honestly was not good of me to do. I should have posted a hiatus message and I didn't. I cannot fully explain why—it's private—but it's been an overwhelming combination. I am okay though!

Either way, that brings me to changes in how I update:

I will be posting development updates here at least once a month. (This is not the update for April; I have yet to check my commits where I stopped development, and I'll have another post on that.) This is a change from the weekly update that I had done last year.

Can't promise an game update every month, but my aim is to finish Season 3 within this year.

Every game update that goes up on Itch.io will come with its devlog (which will also be posted here), as has been practice.

Again, I am really sorry about this!

An LITG Archive Update

Apologies for the lack of update last week! I'm still continuing the filling up of choices, so not much to report on that end.

However, thanks to dear anon who let me know about the issue about not being able to play Day 4. I'll let you all know what it's fixed.

Hello, Nonny! That shouldn't happen regardless of LI, tbh. I'll check why it's doing that, and I'll post when the issue has been resolved.

An LITG Archive Update

I am halway through filling in Day 5 choices. It's been slow due to work + BG3 brainrot, but it's going!

Yes, Islanders. Unfortunately, you will have to restart from the beginning with this update. I apologize, and this will likely happen again.

This is later than expected due to a couple of changes, including customizable MC name, save slots, and the still-being-tested offline mode (as suggested by Shadow Shade, currently being tested by friends).

You can play here!

Full list of changes for this game below the cut.

An LITG Archive Update

I'm 95% done with filling in Day 4 Part 3. Gonna do testing this week.

My next post will be regarding the Day 4 drop, then I'll take a break since I have personal work commitments lined up in the following weeks.

Next archive update post, aside from the Day 4 drop, will be on September 17!

Thanks for your patience!

An LITG Archive Update

So maybe I shouldn't have mentioned about my work week being hopefully not busy because uh, yeah. But I am almost finished with the Part 3 fill-in, so at least, progress!

(And I am currently distracted by a game jam. That too, I guess.)

Please let the stars align so I can start testing.

An LITG Archive Update

Sorry for the delay! I forgot to queue a post yesteday. Anyway, I am halfway through Day 4 Part 3. If nothing else pops up in my work week, I should be able to finish the day and test it.

I might be able to upload the update sometime next week.

What it says on the tin. The pace is unbearably slow, but I mean it's getting there.

Thank you for your patience.

An LITG Archive Update

Part 2 still isn't done, and I will be busy with other commitments in the following week.

I'm sorry for the lack of progress on this.

My next post will be on August 05!

An LITG Archive Update

It's been a busy past week. Other commitments kept me occupied, so I haven't finished Day 4 Part 2 yet.

Hoping to have better news for you next week.
