VN Ren'Py Light of My Life [Ch. 8 v0.8.1] [Naughty Road]

[Count Morado]

not sure if it's just me or a know problem on here. when i download from here and extract, 7-zip says one of the ( i assume) main files doesn't extract or copy. so anyways i go to open the game and it won't saying said file is missing. but anyways i got it from itch and it plays fine. just hope i'm not missing anything extra from f95.

"download from here" which link did you use because you shouldn't have any problems with unzipping from any properly downloaded version.
Wait, you said "from here" but then you say you downloaded it from itchio - which is it, here or itchio?
Either way, same answer - if you have problems with the unzip, it's from a bad download or something - not the file. Everything you need is in that one download.

p.s. it mentions checking for not properly merged mods...where are mods? am i just blind? are they at the beginning where the downloads are? and will they work with itch version?

The game is making sure you're not running some shitshow mods from somewhere. The developer recommends no mods, whatsoever, to play the game.

Going to keep this bookmarked and keep quiet .

If you were going to keep quiet, you wouldn't have posted you were going to keep quiet - you would have only bookmarked. Nice of you to show the kind of person you are.
Anyway, should I expect an apology when the game is eventually marked competed? I'll give you one if, by the off chance, something happens and it's not.

When you have a problem with try to unpack a game it means your software is out of date and you need to update 1 or both.
(That is 90% of the time.)

Try as a1fox3 suggests, but also, make sure you're not unzipping in a very deep directory. There's a limit on how long a file's path can be including the folder path and the filename, and perhaps you're running into issues with that.
Also make sure you're not unzipping on top of a older version, but into a new folder.

LomL really doesn't need any mods, and the one mod that existed fucked up your saves pretty hard because the person that took over didn't have a clue, so that's that message. It's just an ugly sanity check to make sure whatever code is running is at least touched for the latest version, so a potential mod maker has to at least make one or two edits to their mod (and hopefully take the hint they should merge it with my latest changes like a developer would that actually has a clue ), and prevent users from running code that conflicts with my latest changes without knowing.

Usually you shouldn't see it unless you're on a very slow system, or you've have never done the brightness calibration before. There's a bug where it tries to do that dialog but doesn't remove the message so it's still in the background. IKR

1. I tried downloading it from F95 first, with each of the links. All the same result. Missing a main file according to 7-zip. Same as trying to open the game's exe file. Missing same file.

2. Used itch and everything worked just fine. Was just wondering if I'm missing anything using itch, because 98% of the time F95 has a way better version. Whether it being 100% uncensored or having extras or the full version.

3. I always play the normal game all the way through to experience it as the creator intends. Then I use the mods to get everything possible I can out of the game.

4. 7-zip is as up to date it possibly can be, never had a problem before this. Also it did fine with the itch version.

5. Anyways, after all my rambling, my question is this; Am I missing out on anything not acquiring the game from F95?

 

[Draverik]

OK OK. I can give him a couple more days to complete the update. But that's all, sorry. He can spin as he wants, but the clock is already ticking.

Try late December.
Playing Loml has become a sort of a new Christmas tradition in many households, so if the update drops anywhere in-between now and then im going to be seriously disappointed.

Who can forget calling the whole family together around the computer to play LomL before opening up presents.

They should be the exact same version tbh, I supplied the same zip both here and on itch, which is why I'm a bit baffled (assuming you picked the regular downloads and not a translation dl or compressed, but I don't think you going on what you said). Since there's no forbidden content in LomL to be patched in later to get around Patreon platform TOS, it's exactly the same version, and you should be fine with the itch version.

Thanks for responding to me personally! The game is effing awesome so far! I'm currently on week 5, I keep getting slightly disappointed when I see the cutscenes with Macy and Denise, but then I'm pleasantly surprised and relieved when I see the story continues! I love you for that! ( no homo since idk your gender) well I guess I should say platonically or whatever. And that pirating cutscene was cute! If I ever gave anyone compensation it'd be towards you, the developers! thanks for this amazing game and distraction from an otherwise uneventful life and the chance to live one vicariously! Have a great day!!

Most likely Windows Defender snatches that file before it ends up extracted on the disk.
It's a well known kink of Windows Defender, it just doesn't like Ren'Py and some other indie game engines.
Likely Windows Defender logged it, just didn't bother to tell you. That's another of its kinks.
Check your logs, add the file to Windows Defender exceptions, try again.

Since I don't have the itch.io file to compare, I have no clue.

Thanks for the reply and the explanation. I'll definitely check that out if I have this problem again in the future! Might save me hours of mindless searching for solutions that may not even be there. And as for the itch/F95 question, naughtyroad already put my mind to ease about that.

I've enjoyed the game thusfar but does the writing style and characters only fit with dad, and daughters or have you found another mix that fits with the writing?

I've tried brother but the mother/wife part made that wierd.

looking forward to the next update!

Overlord & minions works well too.

Poobah and playthings. (Don't ask: it just popped into my head!)

Papi and Bitches.... with Pacifier being the name for uhh... yeah.

I don't know if there was a similar question. But how many chapters are you planning to add?

[naughtyroad]

I don't know if there was a similar question. But how many chapters are you planning to add?

After the chapter currently in development there's at least one more, but it might just as well be more, depending on how things develop while I'm writing. I plotted out all the major big moments and dramatic developments before I got started, but a lot of the details only become apparent as I'm travelling on that particular part of the road so to say and some I feel are worth taking a little detour to explore a little further.

 

[Toriam78]

I think its great you have the main story thought out and not end up in a forever loop with little to no story. I really appreciate this game and its story! One of the few gems I've found for this kind of story
