Question for naughtyroad: once season 2 is done, are you gonna pull a MGQ and merge them into one, or are you gonna keep them separate by seasons? Either way, LomL Season 1 is probably one of my favorite wegs out there, and thank you for continuing this series!

Edit: I know this is Renpy, so I'm not sure if it'd be very easy to do. Merely curious.

Good question!

I've pulled them apart because it was getting so big (and I'm not talking image sizes, I'm talking sheer number of individual images (23K as of chapter 7), number of lines of code and script, number of files even), that even if the total file storage size was under 2GB storage for android and 7+GB for pc/mac/linus) you needed 3-6 GB of actual RAM to run it.
That is is a requirement that can be a challenge for lower-part-of-the-spectrum pc's but is was killing Android devices, and they would definitely not be able to run with another chapter added in.

What's more, it was causing internal issues with the ren'py engine, like what I presume were timing issues querying the images manifest that were making the internal cache mechanisms time out, and the cache and program space fighting for memory, and just booting it could take 30 seconds to a minute (which I had to face every time I wanted to test just making a minor code change).

So keeping going in the same package was just no longer sustainable, and I made a clean break.

They will definitely never be joined into a single package.

I've only just started on the latest chapter, but I'm loving it already. The level of technical storytelling ("animations" and effects and pans and such) I think even may have gone up a notch, because it is fantastic. And the girls and the interactions with them are as funny as ever. I'm really looking forward to keep playing, but at the same time I almost don't want to since it means it will end sooner, kind of like how you don't want a great book to end.

I would've imagined that's how you'd have to to do it with a Renpy project, but I completely understand. Thank you for explaining it naughtyroad, I really appreciate it!

Wow. Just. Wow. Should we go completely off topic and discuss which is less normal: being messy while brushing your teeth or being obsessed and judgmental about someone being messy while brushing their teeth?
I like how, because you feel called out, something I have mentioned 1 time in 47 years of life, I'm obsessed about. And I'm still gonna go with slobbering on yourself as a grown ass adult is fucking weird.

"All intimate" path means seeking sexual relationships with all eligible characters.
"Caretaker" path means having a nurturing, non-sexual relationship with Macy and Denise while seeking sexual relationships with all other eligible characters.

I was hoping we could pick things back up with Brooke, but Macy is in ultra-cockblock mode, unfortunately. Can't even have an innocent work conversation without her getting her hackles up. :ROFLMAO:

She comes around sooner or later ... because she loves to get dicked. She just needs some help with incentives wich she is always blocked to see by her limitations of lustful imagination.
Love to see how every character has its own believable personality! Thats one of whats makes this project so awesome!
