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

[Dragon59]

Cheers and no worries, first and foremost I hope it'll pan out for you and you'll be able to get back on your feet.



Well, it's an interesting notion, but for now, I still have no idea what the next project will be. There's some problems with setting M+D off on their own though; I don't really want to rob them of another caretaker, and I can't imagine them leaving each other willingly. I can imagine a temporary separation like the girls setting off for a trip together, or the male MC setting off on a business trip for a week or two, but something like that would last no longer than a single chapter side story at most, and it'd still require a story that makes sense for whatever happens in that period.

At any rate, first thing on the agenda is to finish this chapter, and ultimately, this game, and then we'll worry about future projects.

Perhaps Brooke's adventures at her new job, or the Coven moving on to a new employer.

i love this game, if there is one comment i would make is that scenes with Macy and Denise need to be more explicit in general visually, like the scene in the bathtub was amazing, or in the pond, but could have used a few more angles and images imo, especially compared to the other scenes with other characters. But thats just me, i still love this game, its one of my all time favorite from all the games i played here, godspeed Naughtyroad, i wish you the best.

Cheers, and although I'd love to do more, there's already a ton of images in those two scenes. For instance, the bathroom scene, I quickly counted about 170 character renders and about 15 background ones (including HDRI's for the paperdoll renders) for the whole sequence, resulting in some 310 images when it's all cut up and ready for scripting the transforms and putting it in ren'py.
The pond scene is quite similar, at about 102 images for the paperdolls in the water, 82 for the ||picnic|| and maybe 80 more for the regular conversation emotes, and a dozen or so background and HDRI images.

These game scenes are already massive, and given that individual daz scenes (which yields two render normally) will take hours to create (mind, that's setting up, posing and lighting, and not counting rendering, post work, cutting up, scripting transforms and puttin in ren'py), adding even more would push the production time of that single game scene into months instead of weeks.

But I take it as a compliment you do hunger for more, which probably meant you enjoyed them.

i absolutely do want more, and i did really enjoy those scenes, and i absolutely do get where you are coming from, but hear me out In the pond scene, there is a moment where you describe, in intricate detail, how beautiful Denise and Macy are and how their underwear sticks to their bodies, etc., while that is quite visible, a few closeup images, without any cutups, just one or two static renders during those descriptions would have elevated that scene even higher than already is, at least for me. Same with the bathtub scene. I know i have no right to ask stuff like this, and i really dont expect you to change your workflow, im just throwing ideas out there . Like i said i love your game, and i look forward for the next chapter. Your writing is the best i have seen on this site, and you have truly created something special here.

You lost me at HDRI's...... Hooter Development Research Institutes.....No? Well it was worth a try....

But i do not understand alot about daz anyway aside from making the hooters dreams are made of. Anything else is beyond my skill

 

[naughtyroad]

Uh boy would i have ideas about that...... but i posted them enough already. My daughter however had an idea for a spin off.

When this game is finished they simply make their own story. Literally. All of them sit down and make Light of my Life.

Denise and the MC sitting on the table discussin a game gave her the idea. No clue how much of the stuff you already have you could reuse.
Her other idea was that they all go on a vacation on the same spot again as macy wants payback on that bear...........

Them making LomL is an interesting notion, and the thought had crossed my mind tbh. Getting payback on the bear, that'll be an interesting one. I can imagine Macy tracking it down to it's lair where it's hibernating and licking it back, just as it's waking up and too groggy to resist, yelling "let's see how you like it, you.... animal. <mlem>". And then spent the rest of the afternoon brushing her teeth to get the taste out, regretting her decision.

Is there a french mod for Light of my life? I thried searching the apropriate section of the forum but couldn't find any. (...)

Personally, I'm aware that there's an Italian translation, and I heard the other day there's also a new Portuguese (BR) translation out there, but I'm not aware of a French one, sorry.

Now this needs to happen......I just has to! This is hereby officially CANON!!!!!

After all this time, and all these posts, I just realized something. And it needs to be corrected! naughtyroad , if something happens to MC, I volunteer (out of the goodness and tremendous depths, of my heart) to provide a warm, loving, and fulFILLING home for those poor wards. I'll smooth it over with the wife (somehow).

Uhm for your funeral.... you prefer funeral wreaths or just roses? Cause no way in hell your wife ain't gonna kill you

BTW dev: when this project ends, you should use the sisters for your next project (if you have one)

Recently i finaly finished some female mc games like Project Myriam - Life and Explorations, Anna Exciting Affection, The Office and MILF Warrior and found them to be more entertaining than male mc, so could be awesome to have a Macy or Denise mc game so bye for now duds!

I too have been into female MC games lately lol.
In my mind, a sequel following the girls could happen in the future. I agree with naughtyroad about not wanting to take another caretaker from them, but I could see it being easier on them if it happens after they grew up together and maybe even grew their own family (with current MC). So even if he is gone, they enjoyed their full life and built something together that they can keep living for.
Picture the girls but now they are grown up and both or one of them have kids.

The MC will live forever. Simply because Alphaville sang it already.
"Forever young he wants to be forever young. He really wants to live forever.....and ever" at least in my head those are the lyrics

uggh...cant...attach....the...meme...
so it has to go this way - my...interest...in....female...mc...games(macy/denise included): zero to negative!
on more serious note - imo there are more than enough femc games already, and if naughty ever decides to do another game in far far distant future, i do hope it wont be femc game, even with macy/denise sort of characters.

While I also don't favor femC games, if NR made one, I'd have to go there, he's not steered me wrong yet.

I am also not to fond of female MC games but you gotta admit if someone can put them all to shame it is naughtyroad. And if said game would be the same quality as this one we would be in for a lot of enjoyment. Ah what the heck i know it would be same quality probably even better.

 

[a1fox3]

Nope don't need any more female MC games, there is over 97 pages with around 2900 games with female MC on here and more than 10,000 all over the web.

NR is doing a great job with male MC and needs to keep up the great work with them.

it probably would be so...yet, again, if there is a (hypothetical) choice for his next project, my vote goes to male mc game (no femc, no multiple mcs, no futas, monsters...).
yet thats just my preference, at the end it all depends on naughty and his plans.
one thing is for sure, this game has set standards pretty high, yet if someone can push it ever higher it is naughty.
so whatever he decides, im gonna check it surely...heck, even futa-tentacles-monster as mc could be fun to play in naughtyverse

And there are 192 pages of Male MC games.

Regardless, NR can make whatever type of game he wants. He doesn't "need" to do anything. Personally, I think it'd be neat to have a Female MC game from him. Most FMC games are where the FMC gets corrupted, raped and whatever else. NR could give us a very good story based wholesome FMC game. Not many of those out there, if any.

I think whatever game Denise is making would be the ideal next game. It's automatically tied to this game, and it'd make sense for it to be a FMC game since Denise is the one making it. Perhaps the FMC version of LOML, based on the "what if" scenario of the mother not being hit by a car.

Hmmmm..... we know Denise is making a game, we know (and love) Denises's outlook on life / family / sexuality.
I think you've hit on something.

I would like this a lot, especially if the other characters' genders didn't flip so you were still seducing women throughout the game.

My general concept is that game would be semi-mirroring this one. Every so often, maybe once or twice per update since the updates for the game are pretty large, we'd "jump" out of that game and back into this one as Denise is creating the game.

We'd see her thought process and what she wants her game to be. See the current situation in this game at that moment in time. Like when she started feeding MC fruit or when she first saw his manly bits. Or when she first started sucking on Macy.

See her plotting her path towards what she desires. Working towards her ideal "family" where everyone is still together and they're all live happily ever after. Basically, taking her fantasy and making it real. She can't do that in this game, as mom is dead, but she can do it in her own world.
