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

[Hungover00]

I guess I wasn't clear, myself. I don't like sharing spoilers. If you must know -yes, you are pretty much correct about Chapter 7- . As for Chapter 8 in that situation, I haven't played that through yet. These seem like a lot of spoiler-driven questions, honestly.

As for the bastard playthrough - I have a save on here somewhere through Chapter 5 of doing just that.

It would seem a waste for NaughtyRoad to put all that work into different branches for people not to play it, simply reading spoilers about it here.

Yes, TAB is a skip option - but you can turn skip on and have it run without you having to hold TAB down.

I almost never play evil/bastard routes in any games, so I'm not going to see that content any way. Hence the request for information, or spoilers, because I was moderately curious how the dev approached writing the different paths. I already played through with Macy and Denise, but no one else, and once with everyone. I'm sure the non-Macy and Denise paths are well written, but there are more than games and books and shows out there. I don't see variations for a third+ playthrough as spoilers. Tidbits, maybe. And if I had the skip settings like that I'd blow past any little changes, which would defeat the purpose, unless it was for big events, which could be answered here. Or so was my theory.

(...)
I wonder if they bought Brooke's best friend at the same sale? (I'm hinting at the photocopier that Brooke had a special relationship with haha)

Yeah, I like to think she and Karma visited the auction together and she has him sitting under a tarp somewhere, a little restauration project waiting for some free time and a lot of e-bay shopping for spare parts.

(...)just curious what plot points change if you don't wife your 'wards.' For example, do Macy and Denise get married to each other with you as a witness? (...)

Exactly. It's pretty similar to what happens if you refuse the ceremony.

There is one really peculiar variation of the events there, that takes place if you used the low-love escape when having sex with Macy for the first time in chapter 6. Basically, having that moment doesn't make sense if love is low, but because I don't want to soft-lock you out of Macy's path if you're on low love, you can pledge to do better in their relationship and the scene will still take place.
Anyway, if you used that escape, and try to weasel out of the ceremony, she will have none of it and it turns into something of a shotgun wedding. I wonder how many people got that variant.

Interesting! Thanks for the reply. I imagine it's always a curious balance, of giving the vast, unpredictable 'players' as much autonomy or personalisation as you can, while also not creating headaches and massive amounts of work for yourself (especially if no one makes those choices).

It's been awhile since I played this one. Am I correct in assuming that the MC hasn't fucked Denise yet? There nothing in the gallery in Ch.1-7, and it doesn't look like you can unlock the gallery in Ch. 8.

At the end of chapter 7 he does and you will also need to go to the end of chapter 7 so your stats can be carried over to chapter 8.

You would be incorrect, and have been for a year+.

thanks, i guess

and may i ask another question?
will we see our beautiful busty new mommy Zara in the office or only when we come to visit her? I mean, will we see the coven in full glory?
and also - I still don't understand why they took a sperm sample from the MC. for what? how will this subsequently affect the plot? however, perhaps I went too far in trying to find out the future.
thanks.

(...) will we see our beautiful busty new mommy Zara in the office(...)

Sara? I think so, but I've not worked all of that out in detail yet.

(...) I still don't understand why they took a sperm sample from the MC. for what? (...)

They'll explain (up to a point) when you meet them in the office the day after the pool/garden scene in chapter 6, if you press them on it.

This week in one sentence: after wrapping up the bulk of concepting a follow up, chapter 9 production has now started in earnest, so I wrote up the the dialog for the first five scenes in this shorter-than-usual coming update. It feels good to be in production again.

 

[Magic_Dave]

Played for over 2 hours; Chapter 2 End. Nothing has happened yet!

So Far side boob, a pussy on a photocopier and the same rub lotion on her back situation has happened 4 times, feels like a total waste of time.
Dev needs to learn what the word "Sex" means, no literaly its been used interchangibly with the word pussy...

This may not be the VN for you.

Though, to let you know, chapters 1 and 2 are the shortest and are introductory chapters. These are meant for readers to get to know the setting, the background, the short and long lines of tension, the status of relationships, character personalities and so on.

Chapter 3 starts increasing sexual content.

But know that this isn't a fuck-fest game. It's a visual novel with sexual scenes. Though there are some spicy scenarios available, this isn't a wham-bam-on-to-the-next-ma'am.

Also the word sex is used for many reasons in the English language and, yes, historically that does include genitalia.

Dev knows what the word "sex" means.

I'm eager to see more of Karma. Is there already some tease for the coming update - Which characters and which plots get the attention?

I don't believe there is anything official yet, since the writing has just gotten off the ground, but for new characters Karma (and her daughter) and Goldie seem like good mysteries to solve, and more screen time from the 3Ms and new coworkers. Well, not sure if the Mother will be in the next chapter, or what will happen on that rooftop, but excited for all the possibilities!

I love when low vocab people try to critique a writer on their use of terminology. It's always a fun event and in no way annoying.

did you mean mother of daddy's girls?
well - sooner or later but she must go, sad but true.
yes of course she is hard emotional anchor of this story, some sort of tear-generator, deus ex machinae for legitimize some meanings. but - maur did his do maur must go.
