Ever considered making Naughty Road merch, like Macy was wearing? I would actually love a tee or muscle shirt with the logo on it.
Wearing that shirt in public would leave you one google search away from being expelled from civilized society.Ever considered making Naughty Road merch, like Macy was wearing? I would actually love a tee or muscle shirt with the logo on it.
You say that like it's a bad thing.Wearing that shirt in public would leave you one google search away from being expelled from civilized society.
And i see no reason to do so. Like i'm getting jailed for killing in gta or cod.I've heard of one fan who printed themselves a mug with Denise giving the MC their morning coffee going on a zoom call with it, and having a colleague on the call blurt out "hey, that's Denise", and that didn't end any careers.
Have you already considered this: #14,553? If so, you might just be at an impasse and not able to use your chosen device for this.I've been trying to play the android version but it keeps on crashing 1 minute after opening from the 3 minutes long app staring up. I know there's been many "bug fix" updates after the release of this new chapter, does anyone else has been having the same problem as I have ?
Tested using Joiplay, each this game always failed, decided use Android version onlyLight of My Life [Ch. 1-7 v1.0.0] [Naughty Road]

There are three major routes (which a player can do any one or any combination): the wards (cannot split them), Brooke, and the office trio (in whole or in part). Currently, the choices you make about one route will not negatively affect any other route. See the Developer's notes in the OP.How reactive is this game to your choices? I mean, it seems to be a massive game already, so I doubt there's too many branching paths? Can one, for instance, ignore main characters or are they integral part of the story?
Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining. Curious decision to have the wards be either both or neither, kinda somehow expected a choice there.There are three major routes (which a player can do any one or any combination): the wards (cannot split them), Brooke, and the office trio (in whole or in part).

Along with that, within those major routes - choices you make will flavor later select conversations and scenes based upon those choices.
You misunderstood....the wards are always a route, you cannot not have them...they can be in combination with any of the others.Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining. Curious decision to have the wards be either both or neither, kinda somehow expected a choice there.
I meant that it's somewhat surprising that you cannot choose which one to pursue, and that it has to be both. I can understand it from the devs point of view though as it would effectively double the work needed to have different scenes. But still a bit... disappointed, maybe?You misunderstood....the wards are always a route, you cannot not have them...they can be in combination with any of the others.
You may think is unusual, but it really isn't at all. Many games like this make the 'wards' forced...however I do get you as (unpopular comment incoming) I'm really not a fan of denise personally. At the end of the day, it's an incest game, about a father and his 2 daughters...why would they be not be an option?
Well you are right that it would more than double the work for two chars that are very central to the game and not only for scenes, but also how they would react to not being the chosen one, just would at least be triple the work: macy solo, denise solo and the thruple, besides the existing neither as LI'sI meant that it's somewhat surprising that you cannot choose which one to pursue, and that it has to be both.

Don't get me wrong, this seems like a real gem of a game and clearly a labor of love, I do applaud the developer!
In my humble opinion, this a much better way to handle creating a game like this.Mostly is a matter of story. Unlike most VNs with optional love interests where each lives in their own, pretty much isolated compartment of the game, with their own story branch more or less separate from that of the other characters, in this case their story lines are very much intertwined, and they play and bounce off each other to drive development. It just doesn't make sense to have one or the other be optional in there.
There's a technical aspect too: if I'd wanted to offer such an option with three branches (which I don't, for the record), I'd have to write two completely new branches for the story, mutually exclusive with each other and the current main story branch, to facilitate that. Then I'd have to come up with all kinds of events and motivations to make things work with one or the other not having any skin in the game so to say.
That is is an enormous amount of effort in it's own, and reduces my efficiency by two thirds. I'd have to put in three times the work for any update, but for any individual player, the amount of content in an update doesn't increase, as they are only able to see one third of my effort.
Obviously, that is far from ideal, as the amount of work it takes to produce this stuff is already ridiculous.
Finally, for the record, Macy and Denise as a whole are an avoidable branch, that is, the MC doesn't have to get involved with them. If he doesn't, they'll just get on with things by themselves. From a technical point of view, this is a lot simpler to implement (the plot mostly stays the same, minus the erotic parts that that involves the MC and them, although there is some effort in alternative dialog to reflect this and turning any dramatic developments involving the MC platonic).
