I have not decided totally if all jobs are going to require a quest to open them.. its probably going to be the case, but will see how this plays out.

I see what you mean.. I will have a think about this.. I want have to slightly alter then engine to add an switch for getting caught or getting away with it.. spitballing. I guess a -5 to like would be the result of being caught..

when I allow for sales of the photos, you will retain a copy.

Will think more about highlighting greyed out path info..

Im saying like / love will play a part in kicking off events.. but some events will also be only be possible if you are sub or dom.. but the resulting event for say being sub, will be a sub event.. similar to events where the MC engages in anything gay, will require that the mc has certain bi points.. or its assumed that the player does not want this content..
If this content is part of a story/quest line branch then will require a play through.. .if this is to start a quest or kick off an event, then it will be possible to raise the stat and then come back to do it... hope that makes sense.

I will have a look at the laptop porn not kicking you right back out today.. but I might also have to think about if a limit of how much porn can be viewed a day is needed.. or at least the effect of it is limited.. like to say once each 3 or 6 hours...

Thanks again for your questions and feedback..
What browser are you using?
You should be able to just press the create button and the game will start.
Can you see the game logo on the first page?
You need to make sure you have unpacked all of the game files from the link on the first page.. and then put the bug fix over the top of the main html file... Are you downloading the whole game first.. or have you just downloaded the bug fix?

The main game is about 350Mb (i cant remember exactly).
The game does work but It's weird, i made a Pic, there's some way to share It here? But i'm using Google Chrome,

Nope It doesn't
What is not working? The picture you have sent look fine (well its a bit blurry.. hopefully your not seeing like that lol)?
If you click to leave the room.. some text should come up to say that you cant leave without putting on one of the tshirts..
Click on them and choose the icon to wear it.. and then you can leave the room..

I'm old enough to remember computer games back in the 1990's, and 'A Life Lived' reminds me of those days when there was hardly any handholding by the game. I didn't care so much for it with my first try with ALL, but now its nice to have a game where you got to work to find solutions. Of course, on my second try I screwed-up and went to a empty school (either too early or it was the weekend). Luckily I was able to hide my shame, got a phone call and just quit the game without saving.

Fingers-crossed for Version 2.

Im going to take that a compliment.. I think lol..
You are right that the original game and what I wanted it to be was not a visual novel.. and therefore also not a follow a guide and this is a step by step of what you need to do.. But after alot of feedback, I have rolled that back a little and the v02 will have an intro quest.. and also there is more in game help on what to do.. but yes if you are think of a game say like monkey island, then yes that is a fair comparison for what I was aiming for orginally.

I think, looking and play alot of the games here. There are many games (and please I am not putting them down in anyway) that cater for people who just want 3 clicks and all chars are bent over, servicing you in whatever ways you want.. And there are a smaller selection of games that have, like you put it, worked for content. This is particularly more so in the "real porn" games (i think).. Games like SOB and Tower are good examples of what id like this to develop to be more like. Girl Life is another good example, but I think Girl Life falls down on two things (for me).. The lack of hand holding goes to the other extreme and it is really the purest of sandbox games, as there is nothing to point you in any direction. And secondly the content uses different actors for every clip. Which for me them means you lose the connection with the NPC. But again, want to stess its a very good game.

Hopefully you will find the about to be released V0.2 will have a bit more content and direction while also keeping an aspect of having to working for your rewards.

Look forward to hearing more feedback from you as the game develops :)

******** V0.2 Update ***********
I have just posted a message to my patreon page (public post).
I am hoping that the patreon release of the v0.2 will be out with in the next 24 hours. With the public version following after.
More information about the release is on my page.
When the update goes live, I will try and sum up all the changes Ive made since the first release.. but to be honest there has been so much I cant remember half of it.

Yes the "dinner" part she does get some scene with the cigarates at lunch( I am losing her some time after 15:00).But if I fallow this hint - she spend "dinner time" in the Dinning room with the family. I understand that they have to be some what vague but this one is mostly confusing.

To keep everyone updated..
The V0.2 Patreon release has just gone live.
I have added the changelog as a seperate public post. So everyone can see what has just dropped and what is coming when the free public version is released.

lol... I was thinking of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' from 1984 when I wrote my post but 1990's Monkey Inland works just as well. But I do agree a little hand-holding at first isn't a bad thing, since one does want people to play the game and discover all those fun little bits you worked so hard on.

Whats this icon for please tell me the one highlighted yellow ?
That is flirt... This is going to help improve the love stat.. This is not implemented yet..
At current when you interact with a NPC chat is the starting option.. but there is going to also be corrupt, flirt, serve, bully(or dominate).. and probably the last will be some sort of sexual act...
As of v0.2 chat is the main option for all NPCs... and the sister can also interact with corrupt once the like stats are high enough..

Hope that helps :) and hope you are enjoying the v0.2 version and have not found any major bugs.

V0.2 Update is live..

Id like to start by saying a big thank you to all that gave feedback on the v0.1 version.
I really enjoyed reading your opinions and I hope for you that played the 0.1 game will see that
you will see where I have listened and drawn on a lot of the feedback.
Id also like to thank my patreon community both paying support and those who have contributed to the polls there.
Again the results of the polls were very interesting and I have done my best to give a little of what most asked for.

I would again ask, when playing this version. That you do please remember this is only v0.2. It is not a finished game by
end stretch of the imagination. I would say in the 3 weeks since the first release I have spent on average 5 hours a day on the game.
This may not be easily spotted, as alot of that time was on engine improvements or extra features.
I expect future updates will be more content driven and less improvements to the engine.

I look forward to reading all your comments again. And I hope you enjoy.
For more updates on the progress of the next version, patreon released version and to support this project please visit my patreon. Thanks
