Since you said the next thing is TBD; here's an idea for the next thing: basically your style of humor and slice-of-life combined with an 80's action movie with all the one liners, the cheese, the shooting hundreds of rounds without ever reloading from an UZI, the physical humor, cartoon-logic physics, that kind of over-the-top stuff.
Put into that your wholesomeness, that emotional and sincere style of yours and this would be great! I mean your talent for slice-of life is great, and that would be nice to offset the unserious, bombastic, MAYBE violent (that part could be kept PG) action-packed part of the story and I'd say you'll get something rather unique when it comes to erotic games. Could be really fun to write!
For the main I think the hero could be this generic badass elite super-soldier (at first glance) who has to confront two battlefields (maybe three if we count the psyche), one with the generic bad-guy-terrorist-mobster-whatever-side and one with quirky and at first annoying ladies who become lovable as we get to know them.
The male lead could take many routes, but my idea would be that at the start the dude is traumatized to the point of complete nihilism and just goes with everything and when things get bad, he just laughs because he's been through hell already. This "go with the flow" attitude could be REALLY good when it comes to getting into trouble with both enemies as well as the ladies.
I'd say you have the writing chops for something like this! I do love your humor for sure! Another thing I haven't seen yet among erotic games are actually good sci-fi stories, most are just rehashing one another, there you can go absolutely wild, however that would mean a lot of unique assets to render, not just the characters and their assets, which would be that much more brutal on you.
Anyway, these are my ideas, I hope if nothing else, I at least aided a bit in the thinking process!
Cheers, and <blush>. It'll be a little longer yet before I'm ready to share what shape TBD will take, but it is going to be a more fantastic (but not necessarily fantasy) setting.(...)

This week in one chapter: most of the graphics for scene 5 are prepped for rendering, and I'm quite pleased with how it's coming together so far.

Wow, that seems like you're about/more than halfway done with chapter 9. That's great!
I played the first 7 + the 8th chapter and it's a great little story with unique looking but very well rendered and posed art, very nice. One request though is to make it a little leaner in the number of clicks to get through conversations. The dialogue is good it's just a lot of clicks to get through and a lot of repetitious art, I think you could condense some of the back and forth over dinners and other conversations and even in the sex scenes by 1/4 to 1/2 the number of clicks. It's not out of a desire to just get to the porn stuff but the sheer volume of back and forth gets to be a bit too much.
Anyway thanks and keep up the good work and consider just a little condensing of dialogue and shots with repetitive art.

Not per se. The game creates save games for the gallery while you play as it preserves dialog options this way.

Id never ask for a save. Hell, after getting my pc fixed i had to do a fresh install but before i did that i made sure to save my OWN saves and put them into something where i can just redownload the saves. I once lost ALL my progress on like 20 games and have always kept saves somewhere just in case.You and I both know they won't click those links
We need to talk about save game practices.
Since the public release is very soon to be upon us, here a short little rant about how to properly handle saves in Light of my Life, or any ren'py game for the matter.
Get that chip off my shoulder
Let me start of by saying I never really got why anyone'd want to get a random stranger's save game when starting a new chapter. Unless you care absolutely nothing about all the choices you made in the previous chapters (what are the pet names you are called or call people, what fetish did you encourage or discourage, when you had that heart-to-heart, did you comfort them, or relate to them by you struggle with that too, are you afraid of heights, and the list goes on and on and on), but you know, hey, that's up to you.
If you can't wait to click trough the text as fast as possible to see some lewd, who am I to wag a finger at you over this? Well, actually, it turns out I do have a reason, but more on that later.
But if you're invested in the storyline at all, and you used someone else's save game, just know that all those times something came up that made you scratch your head a little, those weren't continuity errors or wonky writing or the game being weird or buggy, that were choices that other person made that are playing out, and not your choices.

Don't you care about all the things we talked about?
It's so much worse though.
But that's not really what this is about. Coming in this version of the ren'py engine,You must be registered to see the links. Basically what it comes down to is that when you load a save file that was not created on the device you are playing it on now, it'll warn you about it, and you need to confirm that you do.
Why was that added? Well, it turns out thatYou must be registered to see the links, and someone can quite easilyYou must be registered to see the links(that vid is hilarious btw). I'll wait a sec or two for that to sink in.

Why's the light on my webcam on?
So for the love of Macy, don't ever ever ever download and use a save file from a source you don't trust. And let's be honest, do you really trust ilickchihuahuas69 over at that forum you visit sometimes, even if they do post all those funny memes? And do you trust the guys he gets his saves from?
Note: you won't get this "are you sure" question loading external saves with Light of my Life immediately: saves made in chapter 6 will not trigger this in chapter 7. But saves made in the upcoming release of Light of my Life will trigger it, and it's a small step in the right direction.
My personal advice is: don't ever use a ren'py save you did not create yourself. Ever.

Don´t wanna spoil anything, but if you go google and search for "appnee" and pick your poison. We would be both happy ever after. Will delete this after 48H, like always don´t wanna something good to close, cause of being nice. Enjoy

If you don't like waiting or think the developer who logs more hours each week on this project than a person working full-time for an employer is "procrastinating it away"... you might want to consider looking for your entertainment someplace else.

He's a pirate that's made two logged comments in seven years, one of which was that one. He's entitled!

This week in one sentence: Put all my effort into making some inroads into scene 6, and that's paid off as by now, almost all of the images needed are prepared and ready to render out (and the preparation is always the most time-consuming part of production, so I'm glad to have that squared away).

That's certainly the direction things are moving, but at this point it's still "just the tip"
I think your question has been answered literally one post before yours?
My bad, I read that as meaning theres no anal scenes with Denise as in shes getting her butt
at the receiving.
