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

[naughtyroad]

Jeez, is it a full moon tonight or something? The shit-posting trolls seem to be out in full force.

Developers can’t win... Don’t post enough? “The dev needs to communicate more”, now we have “dev posts too much, the update should be done by now”. (...)

LOL, happy to say it all passed me by, either because it's one of the loons that I've already locked away in their own little airtight jar, or because a friendly mod came by and took the trash out.

naughtyroad Have you an estimation of when the next update could be available? thanks for your work

There is a progress bar here from the Discord.

I came up with this estimate based on the info, I hope it helps.

I redid your calculations and I have to say your estimate is right on the money

I'd be totally ok with an incomplete release, like you cut out those last 4 scenes...

Here is the progress chart for this week from the discord.

Umm. Maybe because I haven't had my coffee yet, but can someone explain this chart? Is it a joke or is there real content?

Is there any significance to the faces and the insert marks? Or is this whole thing just a humorous way to say that the update is about 85% complete, with no other meaning to anything on the chart?

I am super dense.

Each portrait is a scene (the character in the portrait does not necessarily have anything to do with that scene tho')
The scenes that come off of the chart with brackets are scenes that were added during the making progress of the chapter and were not part of the original layout for it.
The doodles in the portraits are there to represent scenes that have been difficult to make (models,posing,ect)

LOL. As a supporter, be sure to check in to Patreon from time to time. It updates first there, and it comes with an explanation (on the pinned post with latests info).

Any plans on what you intend to make after finishing this game? Not that I'm in any hurry for you to finish this game

 

[SamWinters]

First two chapters: "Man, I'm really loving these character interactions. The people feel real, and even Macy at her worst is completely understandably sympathetic. Can't wait to continue!"
Intro of chapter 3: "Damn you to hell forever for ripping my heart out and stomping on it like that. I... I have to take a break."

(I mean this in the most complementary way possible)

Edit: end of chapter 3: Jesus christ, you really don't pull the punches, do you?

 

[Dirty_Dan]

I should be working right now, but I decided to just stop by to remind you that you are doing good shit and that your game is still amazing.

My problem is that when any game takes this long to update, I spend the first ten minutes of playing said update trying to remember what the heck is going on. I play a lot of games here, mostly because EVERYONE is taking so long to update right now. The more that you play, the harder it is to remember what is going on with each one, even your favorite. Something to think about for devs?

Ten minutes to get reacquainted or wait until it's complete and then play it. Or mayhaps only play completed vn's if it is a huge issue.

The updates will take as long as they take especially with the holiday season in effect. As you stated "everybody" is taking longer and I don't think that is changing anytime soon.

Except that some go on for years....They just never seem to complete.

Expect a January release, that way you don't get your hopes up come christmas

I am more than happy to start from Chapter 1 when the update drops, lets me rebuild the emotional depth those sweet girls bring out in me.

 

[Deltaboxx]

The game is very very good. I'm patient, but I'm waiting for it too. I think it's the middle or end of December when the next update comes out.

Not sure yet. Plenty of ideas swirling around in my head, but we'll have to see.
