Very interesting.

You have probably described with relevance the majority approach of reproaches that can be made both on the rhythm and/or on the content.

My opinion may then be in a minority

I would have preferred that the story unfold as a play, where each of its acts brings a major event throughout the scenes, rather than a continuous succession of small things, and steps forward and steps back.

If you take 30 playable days in 5 acts or even 4 acts, then we are already at the beginning of the 3rd, so a major step must happen very quickly, because if we want that in the last act, the full realization of her filthy (or good) side is accomplished, there is no more time to lose.

But maybe that’s what’s gonna happen, I always thought that her first sexual intercourse would be coerced* or wilfully degrading** and that it’s gonna traumatize her & that it’s going to wake up in her, an aspect of her personality (pleasure, perversion, ...).

Months ago I was told that the psychology of the characters was unimportant and that I had to shut my mouth. But I’m staying on that line.

* revenge against her
** revenge against Liam (even though some said me he was a faithful husband lol)


And like you said, it’s gonna be hard to change the rhythm now... unless my theory is correct.
I really appreciate your insightful perspective. L&P is definitely breaking his story down into acts. From what I can glean from the story so far I strongly believe he is using the classic Three-Act method of story telling. Act I (the set up), Act II (the journey) and Act III (what happens upon reaching the destination). I still maintain that L&P used the metaphor of Sophia getting on Aiden's motorcycle as the beginning of the journey, and making the transition from Act I to Act II.
In classic story telling the protagonist needs to encounter obstacles in the way along the journey during Act II if the presentation is to remain engaging (essentially, a good story). It remains to be seen if L&P has the writing chops to present a good, or great story (as he is aspiring for) over the course of Act II. If Sophia has to sneak, orchestrate and maneuver to avoid unwanted consequence on her journey I will be impressed (and a bit surprised). Doing this will allow him to dispel the current impression that his writing does not live up to his talent for the visual presentation. Only time will tell.

Actually allow me to disagree.
L&P is using the 3 acts of Magic

The Pledge
L&P showed us something ordinary, a Porn VN, asking us to pledge to further its development.

The Turn

He then turned it into some beautifully rendered VN, which made us pledge even more.

The Prestige

That's when he eventually abandons and leaves you with some prestigious blue balls.

0.150 Release time span

Release: 3rd week of November (between 15th and 21st)

Content: Around 870 Renders spread over 5 main events and some tiny ones.
(27 MS Word pages of text to translate)


Currently I'm redoing some tiny scenes and re-render them. Then I will edit some things in the code for the improvements and eventually add the gallery mode.

I'll start with the P&T part on Sunday/Monday.
It seems my prediction for release in Mid/late November can turn to be right.

(If I'm wrong on this please correct me)\

What reasoning was it for him to include the gallery as part of this update?

Its just adding an unnecessary objective that can be done later right after the actual update is out.
It had to be done sometime, and it has long been requested by patrons. Doing it later would just delay the next release. Just do it now and be done with it.

Holy crap someone finally figured me out... I have been L&P all along. This man is a genius! You must be my greatest fan, and have followed my trail of bread crumbs over the past 4 and a half years.
You almost got away with it too.

An interesting story from California about Shannon O'Connor.
Sofia could host a drinking party for her son and his friends, where she encouraged them to drink and have sex with girls.

I don't think you're wrong, but the intent behind a Gallery Mode seems pretty straight forward -

With the next update (and the start of Part 2) he'll be splitting off into a new game file and saving space by not including any renders/scenes from the first 12 days.
A Gallery mode puts a nice bow on Part 1, anyone wishing to revisit it in the years to come won't need to rely on old saves or have to churn through the whole 12 days just to get to that one scene they wanna Fap to.

I think It is a good implementation since a lot of us will know what scene is still unlocked and I am more into completion rate. By Adding this to the game, it will be a lot of useful especially for supporter
