Hi, I was wondering if you have Rohan, Levi and Mason’s assets? <3

i don't have their original season 1 assets unfortunately, but i'm sure someone was able to rip them before the original game server was taken down if you want to ask around.

the matchmaker assets are the only ones i have access to, and like i said before i haven't gotten round to sorting all of them yet because i basically have to assemble the sprites from scratch thanks to the stupid animations they used. if any fellow data miners have any tips to make this easier it would be greatly appreciated lmao

i haven't started mason yet but i'm nearly finished with levi's so i'll try post his at some point for you! in the meantime, here's my sweet boy rohan 💖

if fusebox imports seasons 1-3 onto the new app do you think they will use the original sprites or use the matchmaker counterparts? i know a lot of people hate the s1 redesigns but i actually didn't mind them much (or at least when they were idle). also iirc there were a lot of changes in the s1 script for matchmaker (tim, rohan, cherry and allegra being romanceable but no sammi even tho she's in the game files???) so i'm curious what script they'll go with

Oh good question.

Honestly I have no idea. I like some of the matchmaker sprites (JASPER! LEVI!) but some of the others just look odd. Jake is a little too smooth if you get what I mean? idk. He looks a little more baby-faced than I picture him.

@longbobmckenzie tried pulling out the Matchmaker scripts and I couldn't believe how much was glossed over. There are dozens and dozens of scenes missing from the original, and most of it is the magic that mae S2 what it was-- the side chats. The little conversations about favourite barn animals or guys who won't take no for an answer? I don't remember specifically but it was about 1/4 of the length of the actual episodes.

So realistically I don't mind which sprites they use as long as the scripts are the same as the original.

The way I had this post ready in my drafts in case we couldn’t find a loophole for this whole situation.

Sometimes I want to play matchmaker to get with Tim, but then I remember that weird tiktok instagram filter situation going on and I just 🤢

I was doing yearly phone backup on pc and found out I have 5 THOUSANDS of screenshots (almost 5300 actually...) from Love Island The Game 🤡 90% of them are from Season 2, and most are from Lucas playthroughs with a few from Henrik, Bobby and Noah. Early days I think I did 4 playthroughs consecutively and realised welp, I'm obsessed and from then on my LITG era started LOL

Unfortunately I stopped taking screenshots regularly after that because I realised this game won't be going anywhere and I can just play it anytime I want 😂 WHAT A TIME HUH

I guess this post is the start of my LITG S2 archive for old players like me (pacifically Lucas girlies) who are mourning missing the old game/app. This game has a special place in my heart as it helped me through early lockdown. I'm sure many of you can relate 🥲 IT IS MISSING SEASON 2 HOURS 😭😭

so I'm going to start this with my most favourite Lucas scene. You get this scene on no-sex route, and iirc it was after final recoupling.

Romantically

Passionately

Cheekily

It can't be just me who thinks that Ivy is the (unfortunately for us) love child of Marisol and Kat?

Girl... Bye. I don't even want your man, my man or any man. Chill. 🥴

hi! i love your sidebar a lot and was wondering if you have cherry's assets? 🥰

thanks sweet anon 🩷

i haven't gotten around to compiling all of the matchmaker assets yet as they used the same mechanic as season 4 meaning that all of the sprites are completely broken up. it's extremely tedious but so far i've finished cherry, jen, rohan, and sammi (and blake). anyway, here's cherry's assets!

Carl - Data shows you don't want Jin/ Max/ Kyle/Jack/ Theo/ Shawn/ Oakley/ etc

It shows you need him ( us)

Huge shout out to @netteloise. Their constant support and cute reblogs keep me going and make my day.

Here is their blog netteloise. They post their thoughts about the season and reblog other awesome people's art!!! Definitely check out their page and follow them.

I will be tagging and linking every new account in every post that I make. Let's help each other grow!

I will never ever forgive fusebox for taking away season 1-3. Yeah sure it's on matchmaker but its not the same, it's very different from what it used to be. Matchmaker with the art style and the puzzles killed the fun tbh.

I did a discussion on reddit and about 90% of the fandom is in love with season 2. All of the characters became comfort characters in some or the other way

Not Blake, she can fuck off.

Without further ado, this post is dedicated to my two husbands from S2 whom I miss very very much. Carl and Bobby .

YOU WORKED ON LOVE ISLAND WITH FUSEBOX?! I'll miss LITG 1's Allegra and Levi so badly 😭

Yes I did! It feels like such a long time ago now...

I didn't create the OG Allegra and Levi, although I wrote them in the Matchmaker versions, but I love them and have had an amazing time working with and being friends with the people who did <3

It's a real shame that the original versions of the games are gone and I have mixed feelings about how everything happened, but I genuinely treasure the memories I have of the good times and the friendships I have from it. I'm very proud of what we made, and even more so of what I learned from the experience.

[ravenadottir]

hey i was wondering if you could make a guide on how to get with allegra in matchmaker??

you know, i have never got around playing matchmaker after i lost several brain cells on my first attempt. it was just so many mini games i couldn't really force myself to try it again. i did though, research this and found someone that posted this on reddit.

here’s the guide (which also goes for cherry)

“I’ve been asked this a few times so I thought I’d make a post!

To get any of the female love interests, you must romance Talia. You can do this by saying you slept with someone of the same sex at Never Have I ever which is right at the start and then continuing to flirt when you meet her in the bathroom, talk to her on the roof terrace, talk to her at the pool etc. You cannot take any one star options or it locks her out as an LI and you need to tell her you want to couple up at least once (you can do it twice) I’m pretty sure. If you do not get a scene brushing your teeth and Talia comes in - then a scene just after where Talia comes over to your bed following the boys’ choice recoupling - you have done something wrong. From this point on, you will be locked out of Talia’s route - and therefore all female love interest routes - so you should restart.

If you succeed in getting these scenes, you will have unlocked either Allegra or Cherry’s route. To get Allegra, you just need to have an okay relationship with her, don’t blame her for Cherrygate and don’t have a high relationship with Cherry. To get Cherry, you need to have a good relationship with her (two star options at least I think), blame Allegra for Cherrygate and have a bad relationship with Allegra in general.

Whoever you unlock, she will visit you in the kitchen around scene 180 and she will start acting weird before she confesses to liking you - she will backtrack no matter what so don’t worry when it happens, you’re still on her route. It should be okay to take 2 star options here (I took two 3 star options and one 2 star option) but do not take any one star options here. Then just carry on flirting with her: I haven’t finished it yet but I will keep you all updated. Have fun guys 🥰🥳”

none of this information is mine, but since the post is really old i thought copy+paste was safer. here’s the link, give them a shout out for the angelical help 🧡

To no one's surprise, turns out fusebox really is quite a shitty company.

This article in the Independent (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/love-island-game-fusebox-app-b1896025.html) finally gives us some insights into what happened to cause the staff to leave en masse earlier this summer, and it's pretty damn bad...

Matchmaker and the restructure really did cause the main rift is seems, although the management sounds like it was already pretty shitty.

"[A matchmaker] storyline caused great distress among a number of Fusebox’s staff, many of whom are part of the LGBT+ community, employees told The Independent. They said they had been told their concerns were taken on board and the storyline would be removed, only for it then to be available on an international version of the game.

An open letter sent 24 May and signed by 31 members of Fusebox staff, warned of “problematic content” on Matchmaker: Puzzles and Stories despite issues being raised with bosses, while they described the decisions of management as “destructive” to their teams and fostering “confusion, worry and fear, and … risk of burnout”."

So yeah, not great, and I very much recommend everyone to read the whole thing. It's the creators that were the ones to give us the game we love(d), and it honestly feels a bit like a wonder that despite a rancid upper management we got a game and consequently fandom that's so fun and lovely – and we can thank the writers and game developers for that.

They deserve our support, while fb can go fuck right off.
