VN Ren'Py Light of My Life [Ch.9 v0.9.1] [Naughty Road]

Ah, but you didn't just "move on". You decided to regale us with your decision based on the lack of a 'new dick' answer and so got ri-dick-uled. You could have remained silent, simply "moved on", and been unpricked for your personal tastes. Indeed you'd have walked away unpoked and prodded by the the other stiffs, boners, and knobs, in the thread. Instead you opened your proverbial mouth to invite the attention to come gushing in and now complain the taste is too salty?

God forbid someone ask a question. Why is every one acting like it's their time of the month? You all are acting like the guy asked if he could dig up your grandmother and have his way with her.

My guess is because it sort of sounded like they were out of the blue, low-key passive-aggressively skirting around, but technically not coming out and actually saying, "you know what this turd really needs? NTR". And that subject will always get some reaction.

But like I said, to each their own, it's just not in the cards for LomL.

I personally live by these three rules wrt NTR to avoid setting off forest fires:
1. Don't kinkshame, we're all weirdos here.
2. Don't go onto a thread for a game tagged with NTR to complain about it having NTR.
3. Don't go onto a thread for a game NOT tagged with NTR and suggest it stinks unless it puts additional dicks in your chicks (not that they did, technically, even if an argument could be made they came pretty close).

Also, you just made me briefly contemplate a horrible idea for a Halloween wallpaper with that remark. But I'm already working on something else, thankfully.

It's been nearly 5 years since I've stepped into this thread to see how things were going. Being the kind of person I am, I gave the game a bit of time to stew before hopping back in. Maybe a bit longer than I intended, but it is what it is. Still, I'm glad I did.

Quite honestly, I don't even need to say anything new, I'll just quote myself:

Just finished Chapter 4 and this is quite literally the one of the best visual novels I've played in all my years of playing these games, and trust me, I've been playing for a long fucking time.

There's only two exceptions to this comment. First, obviously, I'm beyond Chapter 4 and, with the exception of 2 missing achievements, am all caught up now. Second, eh, I'm just going to give this 1st place in my list of visual novels that I've played throughout my life. It's the best at this point.

Like, holy shit, I legit forgot how flush with detail this game was. How strong the characterization was that, somehow, managed to top itself as we went on (also inspired me to do a double take on my own projects to strengthen the voices of my characters). Just how much the care and attention that went into this project is simply palpable in every scene and scenario. Just a really great experience all around.

So yeah, just had to get that out of my system.

Thank you, coming from a fellow dev, and an accomplished one at that, that means a lot!

I appreciate the kind words, but none of those describe me, lol. I'm neither a dev or accompished, just a dude who likes to write.

LOL, sorry, I guess I jumped to conclusions based on the sig.
Did you publish your writing anywhere?

 

[Dirty_Dan]

It's all good! Perhaps in another lifetime, but not this one. At least, not right now.

As for published writing, nah. I've done some ghost writing, but fat good that does for my ambitions, lol. All I've got to my name are some screenplays and emails full of praise and broken promises. I probably should take some agency though and flip those scripts into novels and go from there.

Hey an other game got a rebuttal from steam and fans made a dreamlist entry for it on GoG. got me thinking and I didn't find an entry for Light of My life there. Naughty would it be Ok if I made one for LomL?

I tried doing that on the old system & it disappeared, but link here once you've got it done plz

 

[manneychin]

Was there any artwork published from the new game?

 

[for95zone]

Love the unique looking models used in this game! Wish I knew how dev managed it. Most games have characters you find in all other games, lol.

Before someone reponds with 'Updated WT Plz!1!1!' for the upcoming update, It will be updated as soon as I have time for it and got the notes from Naughty. Like we always have said, do yourself a favour and play the new update WITHOUT the point guide.

-----------

Guide has been updated with Chapter 6!

Here is the Official Point Guide for the game, now containing chapter 6 (Please don't suddenly delete the link out of nowhere this time F95 mods, thank you.)

As usual, and described in the guide too, Naughty and I recommend to play the game without any sort of Walkthrough/Guide for the best experience.

Whether you decide to use this or not, have fun with this great game!

Why not have a WT mod instead of a pdf?

There are no branching paths, no "gotcha's" depending on your choices...
Only thing that varies is the dialogue.
If there's a choice that locks out certain content, it's clearly indicated.
So why the need for a walkthrough at all ? This truly baffles me...

Okay, I didn't know that. The last time I played the first part, it depends what choices you chose. Thanks, for the update.

Well, it never truly did you know. For background, here's what the dev said about it

It's not that hard really, when you are ready to invest a few hours of time. And you don't have to be a 3d sculptor either. The Daz3d store (which is where most character models come from anyway) has a load of tools to tweak facial features and body shapes, that come with sometimes hundreds of sliders for just about anything. For most of my characters, I just start with a vanilla genesis8 female, and start dialing in features to home in on what I have in mind.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer! I wish I was more creative with my own creations. Again, I love the unique look of, in particularly the daughters, in your game.

Dev seems eager to move on to a new game and is changing up chapter length, which is sad considering the great setup he had for season 2 :-(

All great things come to an end, but it would be nice to see the public incest route get fleshed out. I hope he does.

All great things come to an end, (...).

Well, the two aren't directly connected, at least not in the order you might be thinking.

Chapter length shortening is because there's not much more big arcs to tackle, only lose ends, and big chapters just don't make sense anymore. It's actually a relief to be freed from that now there is no more narrative need for it, and I've had mostly positive feedback about it. And mind you, content still takes the same amount of time to make, you just release smaller parcels more often, so no-one is getting short-changed there.

The reason why don't dive full on into developments with the new characters and situation, as was my intention after the first chapter of season 2, is that I failed miserably to secure new routes of funding for it, and with support for ever eroding since the first year high (and even then it wasn't exactly a money printing machine either), Light of my Life is basically dead in the water, and that breaks my heart.

The reason I'm wrapping it up at all, and bringing what I always intended as a follow-up forward, is because I love these characters and this game I poured my heart and soul into over all these years too much to just walk away and leave it to be one more "abandoned" tag on this site among a sea of others. I want to do it justice and wrap it up right, even if it is the stupid thing to do.

For the models I wouldn't use the word "ugly". They do look exotic for an average western or northern European and those characteristics on some of them seem to be intentionally accentuated (the bitchy characters, I guess?). It takes a bit getting used to them if you haven't seen the type often enough before.

They look to me like the

. You know, where the Kardashians supposedly are from. Definitely sharing a gene or a few with them.

Breaks my heart to read that something thats made with so much love and care and genuinely a shit ton of effort unable to stay afloat because the "mOdEls LOok UgLy" and "WhY nO aNiMaTions?"... Brook, denise, macy and the music of loml has become so much a part of me that i cant even fathom seeing an abandoned tag to this masterpiece and not seeing them lot live happily ever after with a the end card...imagine that, gawd... Thank you so much again naughty for your service to the community!!! Loml is goated...

 

[dreddhead]

FWIW, I think all the models are stunning. It's also nice not to have the same half-dozen DAZ models appear again.
