Yes, she hat similarities with Denise. Probably more then any of other girls.While we're on the subject of lookalikes...
No swipe, but I added a menu button on the bottom menu to hide.
Last time I gave it a spin, JoiPlay had issues not supporting a bunch of the image transforms available in ren'py, so lots of graphics weirdness as LomL relies heavily on those.

The problem is that her return doesn't seem to appear on PH, it was on another site.

It's upon us! The update is near!
Then we wait. For the next one
. Still, will be jizzing in my pants soon enough for Denise.How much of this do you think is due to the year plus wait between updates? I really enjoy your work and you are upfront with everyone with time and what you are doing, I just think alot of folks would have a hard time forking over cash for a realease they might not see in over a year.
I guess it comes down to if you want more subs or are you just fine with the way things are. I imagine you get a bump of subs around realease dates?

Hi.
I use the 6.3 game's version on joiplay 1.20,015 and renpy plugin 8.03.753.004 and it works fine. I don't use any mod so i don't know if this can be useful, maybe this or another prev version can be played that way.
Where to find it? no idea.
Very nice game btw, thanks to naughtyroad.
I can't get a good read on the name, I think I might need a new screen, just get la in the begining and a b at the end, mind posting it?

I know a lot of people think she looks like Denise, but damn, she looks more like Macy to me. Her nose is more regal like Macy's, and her head shape and ears are closer.While we're on the subject of lookalikes...

You, you Macy lover. How could you....
Okay... I love her too. I love them bot. And bears, trebuchets... And yes, she could be Macy's and Denise's sister. I can see both of them in her. Good eye.Thanks for the reply. It helps a lot. I have installed the Android version, as it has decent pic quality and a hide text button.
I intend to use the full version in JoiPlay after the next update. I don't use mods either.
I use the latest JoiPlay version (v1.20.023) and that seems to be the problem. I'll download the one you mentioned right away and keep it on my phone just for this game alone.
Thank you!
Oh yeah, it definitely is. In this post, I phrased it as " Patrons and supporters get to vote on it with their feet, and quite a few do actually, and I'm sure I miss a lot of business that way."
Releases do indeed get bumps in support, and I also commented on that a few times in the past and how the smart business choice is to release often as you can, and see if you can ride it from one bump to the next all the way to the moon.
But my priority is firstly to try and make LomL as good an experience as I'm able to manage, which includes it coming in complete chapters, and secondly, to ensure I keep enjoying the process of making it, or I'd burn out in a heartbeat. If that costs me support, so be it. Sure, I'd love to make a mint. But LomL couldn't be made otherwise, so I figure it's this or nothing. <shrug>
The fact that you're still active and telling people why the delay between releases exists puts you light-years ahead of many developers, so keep on doing you.

The main issue for ppl seems to be thinking that if a dev makes alot of money the process becomes faster. However thats never the case.
The more cash you have the bigger your projects become. Because now you have more options. Expensive shit can be added. Better equipment and software can be used. More options means more work, means more people, means more stuff needs to be divided between those people and the workflow needs to be constantly supervised when problems arise. And they will arise on a daily basis. And the 50k make poof and are gone faster than a cold beer on a hot summer day. Taxes, salary, insurance etc.
Let's say naughtyroad makes 50k a month. He could quit his job and work on this full time. People would get pissed cause "50k a month and update takes a year?" or "Hire more people" or the classic "Look at all this milking with nothing to show for"
I worked on projects that got bigger and bigger till they collapsed as everyone burned out. And that was just writing. Produce weekly or monthly and you burn out so freaking fast that even the most stable person will burn out in a years time.
Naughtyroad is very smart about this. Yes it won't help him boost patreons on every update drop but it does something way better. It ensures the quality level stays a straight line and thats something not many devs have on this board. In fact i know only 2 others. And DC isn't one of them. It also ensures that he won't burn out and can take a break when needed as there is no deadline or someone in his neck yelling at him to finish this or that.
In a creative process a deadline is a neckbreaker to said creativity. You can't force your imagination to just work.
When the game is finished and released on steam i am convinced that the support will go up significantly for his next project.
Because by that time everyone who played the game nows the quality and how much effort was put in. If that doesn't convince people that he is one of the very best i don't know what will.

You're right. Most people don't understand the whole process of creating something (not only games) First thing, trying to accelerate production. Hire additional personal. 2 people is mathematical 100% jump in production? Nope. At the beginning, you have to learn this person, stealing your time. And after few months you're on your peak: cca. 70% up. Next man isn't additional 70%. Its about 50%. And so on. When an idea come from one man, you just can outsource some of boring staff for him. On creativity side you have more time, but that doesn't mean you can utilize that. Creativity can't be rushed.
You buy a new piece of equipment? You loose time again. You boost resolution? Video memory isn't enough. Another graphic card with more VRAM.
Every change you make, development time goes up. You add some details in processing render? 25% time goes for nothing, you lost 25% of the time for no benefit because 90% of your patreon can't see the difference.
You can test that for yourself, take modern game you have installed and bump one quality setting for one step up. Or down. It's really hard to tell the difference. On low/medium jump, you could see some details, but high/highest/ultra it's really tough. But you will see sometime dramatic jump in fps. Professional gamer don't use ultra quality, they use low. To have the fastest fps possible. You have nothing from pretty pictures if the game is like slideshow. In VN one "check" on your render can make your time in processing power goes up dramatically.
Bottom line is; use your resurces carefully, and on things your consummer can actually see.
