Oh I read all of them, but I don't ever do spoilers, one way or the other. Sorry. :censored:
Even the proofers don't get to see anything until it's in a state polished enough to count as nearly release worthy.

Is there anyone you share it with before it reaches that stage? Your wife for example to get a outside view on it to catch stuff you maybe missed or to get a general feedback on it?

Cause to tell you the truth before i hand anything over i let my sister read it because i make so many spelling errors xD

I have to 100% agree. I actually really liked that the girls weren't the cliché, perfectly sculpted yet unrealistic beauties that we see in almost every game out there. The story is really well written and actually pretty heartwarming for this type of game.

I'm pleasantly surprised, and can't wait to see what comes next. Awesome work!

I also have to totally agree that this game is not about just Bang on target.. This storyline is long and heartwarming. I believe theese girls comes from Iran or Irak. Girls from Iran, Persia, are among the most beautiful in the world. Only matched by those from Norway and Sweden :) In this game , you follow a story. It´s not about nudity all the time. Many other games have sex within 5 minutes. Here, it´s a buildup to something easy at first, that devellop into something much bigger. I say to the DEV: Keep up the good work, I really like your game (And I have about 30 of them). Good luck to you in the makings of this game. Thank´s

Not on the text or story. My wife helps picking out outfits and has a look at some of the visuals, but the rest of it gets its first review when it hits the proofers in alpha.

Thats alot of secrecy to savor the story and text for the next update. But if it works never change it. But the outfits i find kinda funny. Don't tell me the Banana costume was her idea xDD

It stops right after the 2 skits with the girls. And I don't have mods for this, I even tried to do a fresh install and play from start.

You mean the bit with the banana dance and the air pirates? Those are the end of chapter 4 alright. Curious.

Some basics first then:
1. Are you running my builds, or someone else's? The Windows, Mac and Android builds on the OP should be mine, the compressed is not. If in doubt, you can also get it for free at my

.

2. What platform are you running on? PC/Linux/Mac/Android?

3. When you go to the start menu, do you see "Chapter 5. V0.6.1" in the lower right corner?

4. What happens after the 2 skits? Does it return to the main menu, or does it crash/exit?

5. If it crashes/exits, what does it say in the log file if there is one?

6. Is it your own save, or did you get that save somewhere else?

7. If you take a save that is a little bit older, and you replay a little bit of the last chapter, does it go into chapter 5 then?

Never mind, you said that.

By fresh install, do you mean a fresh DL, or just reinstalling from the same DL?

naughtyroad is the chapter a seperate script that gts loaded at the end of the skit? If so, what happens if it's not found?

Each scene is it's own script file really, with the script being called by a label (through hardcoded calls, I didn't want to get fancy setting up a plug-n-play/dependency injection mechanism in there for no reason).

With a file or label missing, I'd wager it'd crash either outright for missing a reference compile time (e.g. as you start the game after a change), or give one of those nice ren'py exception screens when it gets to calling it. It'd take some doing to get to that point though, as the scripts are packed in an archive you have to unpack, edit (and repack).

But any which way, it won't silently fail, that's for sure.

:unsure:

Which sort of gives me an idea though. If you have remnants of an old mod in the directory (like a walkthrough mod for chapter 4), those would overrule the new script files (which are packed in archives). Given the way the walkthrough mod is coded, it just basically duplicates entire swaths of script to add in the colors, so it'd be overruling almost all of the new script.
That would have it calling old code that goes to the "thank you for playing chapter 4, the end" bit.

So, clean install (e.g. delete/backup whatever the old directory was, unpack chapter 5 into a new, fresh directory) would solve that if that's the issue. Save files should be fine as they are duplicated out to your user profile and it'll pick them up from there.

Well, I do have the correct build, no mods, tried both from Itch and F95, and I run Windows. It doesn't crash, it just takes me back to the main menu.

It would help if you offer more information, as we can't easily visualize what you are seeing.

If you extract LightofmyLife-0.6.1-pc.zip to its root folder in a fresh install, you should end up with something close to:

1617081761232.png

Ensure that you are not extracting this game too many folders down, as Windows has a 260 path length limitation.


Where are you in the game (a screenshot would be good) and what action do you take that leads to unexpectedly going back to the Main Menu?

I have really enjoyed this game, kudos to the dev on a job well done. Entertaining, interesting, funny, sad, I care about the characters, the character models and environment are all well done! There's enough plausibility and "realism" in the story so you at times forget you're in a story. Looking forward to more updates and of course, I'm supporting further development with some cash.

I'm new to this whole genre of games, so I'm discovering some trends that I find... odd. First, the MC's face is hardly, if ever shown. I don't get it. I don't like it. I don't need the face hidden to, er, insert myself into the story. Second, a lot of these types of games have characters giving the MC a kiss... but it's like a kiss to the screen. This looks awkward and takes me out of the story. I don't like it, in any game.

So, if I have my druthers, just show the MC's face and let's see some proper kissing scenes. The girls kissing each other is hotter than the girls kissing the MC. I say this not really being into girls kissing girls.

I'm not dissing anybody who's into lesbians or girls kissing girls or whatever... if that's your thing more power to ya. It's not mine.

Which says a lot about this game, since that ain't my thing and I still really enjoy this game.

Also if I'm gonna nit-pick, I want more frames per sec when the girls do their cute little dances and in the lewd scenes... which are still hot btw.

Boilerplate disclaimer: I'm not, by giving my opinion here, saying the dev has to agree with me, or listen to me, or cater to me in any way. Nor am I disrespecting anybody else's opinion if they don't agree with me. These are my tastes and opinions and mine alone.
