VN Ren'Py Light of My Life [Ch.8 v0.8.2] [Naughty Road]

[naughtyroad]

Is chapter 7 not included in the gallery?

Starting at chapter 7, there's a new mechanism for the gallery that makes named saves for gallery scenes, so you can replay with dialog and choices intact.

The old gallery is still in there as a fallback mechanism for those that don't want to replay the previous chapters in order to trigger those saves to be created, but since the old gallery was basically a stripped, tweaked copy of the scene and very tedious to make, there's no fallback like that for chapter 7.

So, if you're using the dialog option at the start to unlock the gallery, that sadly gets you no further than chapter 6. If you want the chapter 7 gallery options, you'll have to actually play the scenes (or play them again if you lost your old saves and configuration).

Is this game finished (final)? Because this game have 1.0 version and 1.0 normally means than it is complete.

No. It's just become so big that it's falling apart really. Load times are long, lower memory PCs have trouble running it, and lower and middle end android devices won't even let it boot up. I'm afraid if I put another chapter in it'll just collapse in on itself.
So the chapter 8 will be a new download, which will seamlessly pick up from where you left off, making this one the final build for chapters 1-7, hence the 1.0.

Thanks for answer. This game is super, but sometimes are a lot of drama and i rather prefer something more cheerful. If i had Macy as daughter, than I would spank her ass or slap her. My parents would be even tougher. Today parents are little strict. Macy is too cheeky and main character is weakling and result is bad Macy. Macy is better in episode 7, but still stubborn mule. I am in begin of episode 7 and i hope Macy receive a large portion of sense.

Am I missing something?. This thread started in 2019 and the last update shows September of last year?. What happened and why is it taking so long. 5 years paying for a porno game is flat out crazy. How do people have so much money to waste.

Yes, you are missing several somethings.

1. The VN is 100% free directly from the developer. No one pays a penny to get the game. Not a single person.
2. The VN is a passion project of one single person who does all the writing, coding, custom DAZ work, etc - outside of their regular job, spending time with family, etc. Even with all that - they log over 2500 hours of creation and rendering time every single year over the last several years.
3. Even with all that said - there are people who have subscribed since 2019 (I have never subscribed to any developer found on this site, though).
   1. Many of those are at the $1 per month level - That's half a candy bar (in the USA) per month in cost. A candy bar which lasts maybe 5 minutes at a time.
   2. Some do subscribe at $5 (since the beginning? Dunno). That's less than the price of a meal deal at almost all fast food joints in the USA. A meal which lasts maybe 10 minutes at a time.
   3. A few subscribe at the two higher tiers ($10 and $20). That's maybe a couple to four drinks in a bar. Drinks that are recommended to imbibe at about 2 per hour, at most. So, maybe 2 hours at a time.
4. For a person who enjoys reading the VN and the images in Light of My Life - there is over 40 hours of content when the player chooses to be intimate with all available women in the VN. A person can go back and replay. They can scroll through the gallery. They can make alternate choices to see other scenes and also see various changes to the script, based upon their choices.
5. FIVE YEARS? You think five years is outrageous for a VN or other adult game you can find pirated on this site? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhAhahahahahahhHAHAHAHAHAHhhahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHHAAHHAHahahhaahahahaha
   You sweet summer child, you. Bless your little heart.

Penultimately, why do you care what someone does with their money. Do you follow your friends around and get indignant when they spend $10 on something you think they shouldn't buy? Do you go up to a stranger on the street who drops a buck in a busker's hat while the busker is playing their guitar and demand an answer from that stranger why they would dare tip the busker for the FREE entertainment they are providing? Who died and made you the arbiter of everyone's bank accounts?

Finally, you created your account on this site just 10 days ago and this comment is how you introduce yourself to the community? There is an old adage about "remaining silent and be thought a fool..." It might be best to follow that advice.

Probably a second account of a troll who got ignored already, or banned. Very odd so new account, and first message is that.

Great way to handle problem of Macy. Ever think the Dad tried, and Macy still had an attitude? Im sure slapping would make it all better. Let's not forget, Denise and Macy's mother, and MC's wife, is dead. And Macy blames herself mostly for it. Hiding depression with anger. It happens, I PERSONALLY know.

Okay so I'll try to not be sarcastic and ask you 4 questions:

1 - What is the game about?
2 - What is macy's character arc?
3 - What are her flaws and goals?
4 - Would Macy becoming the perfect child work in the story or would it make it worse?

(Also if your child is grieving and having temper issues due to said grief, please send them to therapy and don't slap them, child abuse is never the solution.)

 

[Shawdawg]

Also, bringing up the point of the other guy with "more cheerful". More cheerful means slapping or bad discipline? It's not like Macy is breaking the law.

Could someone please answer these and refrain from petty comments and use logic. The reply I received makes no sense. On one hand it says no one ever pays a penny for the game but then he goes on to talk about what people pay. My question is this game really being developed because it seems to being taking years and years to make it and it is just a porn game. I fail to see any sort of amazing high quality or unique never before done coding. It is just some images and dirty talk to get people off. Why turn this into some sort of life's work.

 

[jamdan]

It's free because it's released for free, you don't have to donate (or pay) to get the game. Anyone that donates do so because they feel like it.

Besides that... I mean yeah. Your comment (and account) came out of the blue to rehash the same old arguments this thread has had for years.

Giving some benefit of a doubt... do some basic research before making ignorant comments (your first one even). The weekly progress reports are always posted on Discord, and sometimes in the thread. The dev literally posted on the previous page too.

Isn't the game already finished?

The reply you received made perfect sense. Your failure to understand it is on you. If you don't think the game is worth donating to, don't donate. No one has to, and the game is free. What others do with their own money is none of your business. If I choose to throw $20 per month in the street, then that is my choice, and affects you not at all (unless you're in the street and have a chance to grab that $20...)

In short, you are making a brainless complaint about things that have no bearing on anything in your life. If you piss into the wind, don't blame others when you get wet.

"Use Logic?" You are a user on a PORN GAME website with the name longandhard arguing and wondering why people donate to creator of a porn game, which is more Visual Novel than most, with great characters and a wonderful story. .WTF are you here for?

 

[naughtyroad]

LOL, some people. "Why should actual work take actual time? Please use logic and make sense."

I mean, it seems an utterly silly question for any who's spent any time living in, well... reality, really. But it's an interesting one if you think about it. Maybe something about the second law of thermodynamics, and how it suggests the arrow of time pointing in one direction? Or about not living in relativistic conditions meaning that time dilatation is never really noticeable enough to have thousands of hours pass by in the blink of an eye for an outside observer?

I watch all YouTube videos at 1.5x and listen to all audiobooks at 2.0x (or faster). Perhaps you should learn how to work at the same speeds. I mean, come on, life is too short and we all need to be entertained now. NOW, dammit.

Shh, don't tell the trolls it's actually a trick. He works so fast, the game is fully complete. Naughtyroad just releases the updates every year or so.

Whoops,. gave the secret away.

As long as you don't reveal that in episode 25 Denise discovers she's a clone of Brooke while Macy finally embraces her true nature as a succubus summoned by the coven, we should be fine.
