Phew, finally finally finished chapter 7 yesterday and have to say: what a frigging lovely ride. Absolutely love the story and character progression. Thx naughtyroad for this brilliant piece of a game!!!

First impressions (and I mean the absolute first) not great, why does the game take seceral seconds to go fullscreen when I press F? Seems like some optimization is in order, as this doesn't happen with any other Ren'py game I've played.

Mine takes a second, at most (I'm using v0.7.1 that uses Ren'Py 7.6.1 - not the current v0.7.3 that uses Ren'Py 8.0.1). What I notice about Light of My Life's menu screen compared to other Ren'Py games - is that the menu is animated with layers of graphics that move whereas most are static images and it's a gallery of images, not just a single shot. So there's a little processing power going into making that happen.

Now, my computer is new, so your mileage may vary.

The pre 0.7.3 was using one big single displayable to load all main menu background images in in one go, unlocked or not, and that was a multiple dozens of compound displayables with ATL transforms, often in QHD. And it would do it again opening the preferences menu for a load. Getting a one second response there is pretty decent.

New version uses dynamicimages to load only one background displayable at a time (and the next on demand when it comes up in the carousel), and reuses that from cache for the preferences, and should hardly be noticeable anymore on your system, even if a single one of those displayables can still be up to a dozen or more QHD images at once.

As to the previous poster question on why they don't see that in other games, it's exactly like you said, other games rarely do something like that.

Thanks to this I learned I was a few versions out of date (0.7.0). Grabbed 0.7.3 and the transition is much faster, very nice.
However, I noticed another issue: going fullscreen forces my monitor's refresh rate to 60Hz. This isn't the first Ren'py game I've seen do this but it's not common. No idea why it happens, I assume it's an engine thing, may be worth looking into.

I'm a few days into the game so far and it's very good, believable characters and progression and the MC isn't a total idiot. Will keep playing.

Cheers, glad to hear it's better behaved. Wrt Framerate, I don't actually set anything for it, so it just goes to default ren'py behaviour, as described

, and that should result in it going to the monitor's full framerate.
If it's not doing that (not sure what you have), it might be that ren'py's having trouble figuring out what your monitor's actual framerate is at that resolution for whatever reason (maybe 1920x1080 isn't your native resolution and is that throwing it off?).

If you want to experiment, it's quite easy to drop a text file into the game folder, and set it explicitly, and see if that works for you. The file should have the extension .rpy, and should contain something like (of the top of my head, didn't test):

init:
    $ preferences.gl_framerate = 50

When you restart the game, it'll be compiled and executed as part of the initialization of the game. Should work for any game that doesn't explicitly sets it in code, and might work for any that does, but you can change that line of "init:" to "init 99:" or something to make sure it's executed last.

Quite a bit further in, and while I do really like this game, it's a bit lame than even in this game built on realistic proportions and looks, even here the MC has the usual monster cock. It's in almost every game and I'm getting rather tired of it.

With how many Android users that are having problems starting the game, could you either compress it for Android or recommend someone to do so?

With how many Android users that are having problems starting the game, could you either compress it for Android or recommend someone to do so?

• Built using ren'py 8.1.1, which is based on python 3.9 (instead of 2.7) and seems to be better behaved when it comes to memory management.
• If you cannot install the game, please note you need about three times the APK size free storage to install it, and to allow it to unpack itself when you first run it.
• If you still cannot get past the load screen, or are seeing instability and frequent crashes while playing, free up RAM(*). Go into Settings->Device Care->Memory, and close any programs that are taking up a lot of memory. If you cannot free up enough (and honestly, it's a bit like playing whack-a-mole), consider finding a tool in the Play Store that helps you free up more.
• Considerations on using RAM+ for devices that support it. Note that it's a neat way to add additional *virtual* RAM, but that RAM is actually repurposed storage, and that means it's dead slow. On the one hand, it might be just what you need to get the game running, on the other hand, it might just be what is causing lagging and glitching in your playthrough.

*In my successful tests, I had about 1.7GB of free RAM available. That's not a minimum requirement, it very well might work fine with less, but I didn't test that.

You are far better off asking the people who deal with Android.

Tbh, it's even dialed back quite a bit in size from the Out of the Box settings for the penis asset.
But the mechanistical truth of it is that having a certain size helps make penetrations look well, especially since you don't want to go pelvic-bone-to-pelvic-bone most of the time since that obstructs the view, and at least the MC is still within the realm of plausible, even if they're pushing the right hand side of that bell curve pretty hard.

I wasn't able to finish this last chapter. I just couldn't get into it. It felt like this chapter was way way way over stuffed with unnecessary dialog. The sex scenes feel more like a whole novel and not an action. I found myself not commenting on half the choices because I was getting bored. It's almost like the writer's stuffed it full of fluff instead of tried to make it sexy or realistic. The youngest girl's first time felt like a lifetime to get started and then didn't finish until she had grandchildren. I would love to see a mod that removes half the dialog and then maybe I could nut.

 

[TeamHentaiX]

naughtyroad in the tags for light of my life, you have sleep sex but under Genre there is no sleep sex tag, would you like to remove the tag or no?

That's your opinion, of course.
I was perfectly fine with the pace of the chapter. It made sense to me for Denise's arc to take a longer time, given Denise.

See image in the spoiler above. If that one is still too long for you, I wonder how you made it this far into LomL.

I'd say lose it, please. Sleep sex as I would expect that tag to be applied is the MC having sex with a person while they're sleeping, and that is not the case here. I feel it'd set up the exact wrong expectation for anyone filtering on that hoping to find that kind of content here, and would only lead to frustration on their part.
Edit: oh, never mind, I can change that myself. Updated now, cheers for the heads up.

 

[Bombmaster]

People think about molesting/sleep sex for advancing love meter in some games the worst kind of tag.

If you molest someone should been a evil act only for corruption endeavors.

Here was about
the girls having fun with sleeping Mc.
Context matter but tags are static.

Hi guys, it's been a while since I played this one, the reason I stopped in the first place was because of the ward thing that I really don't like, you either just do incest or don't (I really don't like when they do the ward thing, especially when the girls are clearly the MC daughters), I remember that when you changed the way they called you the conversations would not work very well, so I stopped and waited to see if someone would make an incest mod (but no one did), so I would like to know if at least the conversations got "fixed", which I doubt, but I really liked this one and would like to play it.

I just replayed from the start and if you follow the instructions for renaming/relationships it all worked fine for me, the reason for the whole ward thing is for ToS bs on patreon and whatnot.
