Can confirm, have looked through the source code and there is a LOT of little and big things that change depending on seemingly inconsequential things. The game is written in such a way as to provide an immersive experience with characters that evolve both how they feel about you, others, and themselves based on the choices you make. There are a few things that play out with small differences, but a lot of things are completely skipped or completely different in tone. Saying that this game is a linear story with no choices is just intentionally being obtuse or hyperbolic.

Wait... so you're saying I may have skipped a bunch of scenes without knowing? I've basically said 'yes' to every girl (and crazy trio) in the game. How could I possibly tell what has been skipped?!?

I knew that response was going to be coming.
No, remember that is one of Naughty Road's goals with this game: Players will not miss out on any juicy content unless they actively choose to:
So I'm guessing the anxiety, anger and love points don't actually depend on player choices, or how else does that work? I don't think a loveless angry romance is a possibility, or is it?

Well, let me give you an example in that regard.
Usually how these things play out in many other games is that if you don't meet the minimum love coin requirement, you get locked out of some intimate interaction with a character.
However, for LomL, if you are on a low love path with Macy but haven't locked her out, her big scene in the last chapter plays out differently in that she starts by acknowledging you're not on good terms, and she'll ask you if that is how it's gonna be, or if you want things to be different between you, in a last ditch effort to patch things over. If you say this is how it's gonna be, you'll lock her path out at that point. If you say you want things to be different and you want to work on changing, you get a bump in love points so you meet the requirement for the scene (but you are on probation with her and if you go back on your word she's gonna have a thing or two to say about that).
Someone looking at from a gaming perspective might feel it's a cop-out. They spent all this time collecting every last love point and now some chump that just completely ignored that gets a free boost. But I don't feel that's the case at al. It is the game giving you a final chance to get to play that content if you wanted to, in a way that makes sense for the characters involved, or to choose not to, and have the character respond in a way that makes sense to that too (e.g. Macy gives up on you and moves on with her life).

That's awesome you put that in the game, even if I'm just going to go after the points anyway.
Well, other than my coffee; girl needs to learn how to make that right.

I don't care much for "points" I just do whatever feels right....and so far it has worked like a charm.
That said Im a little scared, Denise and of course Macy seems to want me all for themselves, but I really reaaaaaally want to correspond Brooke's feelings, she is such a lovable dork but also super cool and confident, 100% wife material....

Discord is such a joke. For whatever reason I'm locked out of my account despite linking phone with email and trying to reset password numerous times.
Anywho, very glad to see Dev still actively engaged.
The *only* change I would make is that MC can choose either daughter singularly in addition to the harem route. I understand that involves essentially creating a new game for each route and since I'm not doing any of the work I cant really complain.
Otherwise this may be the best VN in the genre. Ever.

What you mean we could? I thought we already are? I mean what a silly idea *looks at his shrine of Denise and Macy*

I meant that us together could form a merger of our individual, but, oh so lonely, cults and live happily ever after.
At least for a while. Whaddaya reckon? " The Light Society of Life!"
With all my respect the story is too long winded

Don't know about anyone else, but I appreciate the developer not dumbing down the content to Brazzers-level bullshit, but rather approaching this as a complete story and also has adult content. This is more stimulating than mere eroticism.
So does anyone know how far along progress is or how close we are to another wonderful update?

I'm gonna take a guess at 1/5-1/4 done.
But thats just a guess.
If you read a page or 2 you'll see an image that shows doneness.

Exactly. Back in the day you had erotic movies and porn movies. But the word movies meant something other than. "I'm stuck" What a twist of events... You had characters that followed a storyline and met another character with a storyline and those characters hooked up and bada bing bada boom sex in the room. Atmosphere with saxophone music. People enjoying the moment. While still porn it was in a better taste.
The Brazzer level bullshit of today has the erotic level of a sausage thrown into an empty store building. Dumb broads with even dumber dudes are shocked or surprised that they have genitals. Go down on each other and act like this is the best thing since sliced bread. No intimacy, no acting, no emotions. Nothing. They could skip the dialouge entirely for all i care cause it adds nothing.
Thats why lots of us old people are in this thread and like connoisseur's appreciating the work of the dev not backing down on the approach of the game! And like fine wine or a good whiskey such stuff takes time. But it is more enjoyable that way.
