Don't get this in a wrong way please. I am just wondering, what is your goal in order to quit your job and spend more time on this game? I couldn't see any "Goal" on your patreon page. 4k $ is quite nice money. Why you don't have any goal?

I have a wife, a mortgage, and a dayjob that on an hour per hour bases far out-earns LomL while offering job stability and very good secondary benefits. Also, making money with LomL isn't my primary goal, I'm having great fun making it, and that it's doing better than I ever dreamed it would is just gravy, and something I'm eternally grateful for to everyone who supports or supported it.

Thanks, and I'm sorry to hear that. No worries, there's a lot of different kinds of support, and being a regular here, and showing your love and support for the game in that way, that's valuable too. And that pint, yeah, that sounds pretty sweet right about now.

Not blowing smoke up your ass, the list of folk I'd love to sit over a pint with is small, Isaac Asimov, Piers Anthony, Neil DeGrass Tyson, my real life sister , and you. Each of these have positively affected me in one way or another.

edit: Hmm, it seems some previously removed posts were restored, so this info is now a little redundant. But good show on restoring those.

I haven't yet updated my ren'py following the latest release, and will probably hold off for a bit due to the reports on android issues (and the win7 thing).

Honestly i hated the art work at first i only tried for the novel part but as i want on i really didn't see any proplem with the art i wonder if the screen shots are bad or wrong angle??

I don't know what to tell you, those screenshots are from the game and 2d art doesn't really come with angles, so perhaps it just grew on you like some suggested.

well, daddy issues here in "insert latin country" are like missionary or taking a piss + fart combo in the morning dude i mean, Pedro, my best friend from college had his family with her cousin and that is a common practice here in "insert latin country", but you could try man, here, natural blonde hair and green eyes make all the pussy fall for you if you have all the package: blonde hair, blue/green eyes, build like a Dodge Ram and be a dance devil. All latins from my country are like Vegetta: 1,60cm, deep jet black hair, foul mouth and bad attitude, myself included xD

I did some work in Mexico (away from all the resort towns) and I must say, I appreciated all the pushup bras and cleavage on display.

Good to see your deep thoughts, my philosophical, anthropological comrade-in-arms! It was not surprised to see you got a facepalm from someone with "newbie" status. It goes with the territory whenever we delve into such territory.

I expect avoiding the inevitable backlash from those vocal so-called alphas, is another factor.

Exactly. Many feel we're living in a "megalophonocracy" where the loudest rules. (Greek megalofonos, loud)

Yes, it seems like it was just adolescent experimentation and didn't become pathological.

Yes, to do well in polyamory, one des need to let go of the need to have absolute control and predictability in one's relationships. In my own case, my long-time "nesting partner" decided she wanted to live with her other boyfriend in a "household of two," though she still loves me and we're trying to figure out what shape the future might take.

Triple deities/triun deities seem to pop up all across world history, but yes, my own familiarity comes from neopaganism.

One that is about her power and confidence, not corruption. I like it. Of course, you or any developer who made such a work would have to be ready for the onslaught. "The slings and arrows of outrageous 'alphas.'"

In fact, in many polyamorous communities, it is the woman who hold much of the power and opportunity. I've heard a few men complain that it wasn't what they expected. This is especially true of the newly poly couples. The wife finds a candy store of opportunities (especially if she is bisexual), while has to suffer with only one or two other partners.

I expect a number of us are in that place--it's not an interest in incest per se, but the exploration of the taboo and alternative ways of looking at society's standards. I did have to pause a little at your use of "anti-social." I had to see it as you talking about what mainstream society considers "anti-social," against the norms of society, as opposed to what the DSM V would define as anti-social. As a polyamorous neopagan with a toe in LGBTQIA+, I've seen how society wants to paint any "deviation from the norm" as anti-social.

Regarding the sleep sex--yes, in some ways, it feels a bit different than the classic scenario in these games. Yes, they are taking advantage of him, and the scene was pretty much required from the symbolic narrative. As with Lot's daughters, the primary motivation isn't to satisfy their own prurient drives, but doing so out of love and concern for their father (figure).

Unless one if talking about the corruption and mind control (pathological) cases, these characters could be seen as "the new libertine front." This is a good way to see the Haranson family--they are defining love and family for themselves. They are letting go of their fears about what society says is proper.

Apologies to anyone disliking that I turned Yoyomistro's wall of text into a great wall of text, but there were so many tasty tidbits in it!

Oh my comments about antisocial behaviors were more general, and specifically in this work referring to Denise being able to condition Macy to the point where she was able to set aside moral qualms about fellating a drunken, sleeping MC. However the literal lack of consent does not take away one iota from the potent symbolism and the nonpredatory state of mind of the girls, which is why it's such a fascinating point of moral analysis. In no way am I referencing the nature of their relationship. I don't believe any consensual relationships between adults regardless of society's views of them are antisocial. I use antisocial strictly in the meaning of detrimental to the function of society, never in the sense of normative behavior. I'll chalk another one up to trying to get everything out ASAP and not separating ideas appropriately.

Also I'm a horrible degenerate when it comes to porn (well, media in general... I read a lot of manga dealing with antisocial themes growing up and it's really the primary shaper of my fictive imagination...) and unfortunately if I made THAT female MC game it would be a maladjusted recluse who came upon a magical means to coerce people into having sex, like I said in a 2D style influenced by the previously mentioned manga and some of my favorite degenerate female characters from them...

BUT I also have an idea for a well-adjusted, self-possessed female character who navigates relationships and flings on her own terms, and that could easily be done with 3D models... That story has only been kicking around in my brain for a couple of years though, while the former is an amalgamation of themes I've thought about going back to middle school. The latter is more likely to see the light of day in the next few years though, lol.

When talking about that kind of power, people often refer to Samantha from Sex and the City.
