Well, it's been a little over a year since I first tried out this VN/Game... I'm a bit sad that it hasn't grown far more then it has, in all this time... With over a years worth of development time, I expected much more content... In any case, there have been several improvements... The text has gotten much better... And even though the overall plot is a bit fantastical, it's not a bad story thus far... There are lots of choices where the player/reader can determine whom the protagonist will seek relationships with... I actually like the male protagonist far more then I do in many VN/Games... He's lustful towards the other women characters, but he is also kind and caring and even loving towards them... Only pushing things as far as they want to be pushed or will allow him to push... I'm a sucker for romance story lines, and there are a few of them... They perhaps may go a bit too fast sometimes, but it is what it is... I went ahead and updated my review, and pushed it from 3 stars to 4... I do hope the development doesn't stay as slow as it has been for the past year, but only time will tell...

Hey Zippity!
I wanted to thank you for your kind words and to explain why thinks are running slow.
I started this project without any experience, except for playing a few VN's (if that can even count as an experience). At that point my rendering PC was just a basic home computer with advanced graphic card with overall worth about $250 and right now it is pretty much improved, still no near where I want but I will invest more when the time comes.

I have daytime job because I'm just like everyone of you, I have bills and everyday struggle to survive :)

I really want to speed things up with more content per update but with how much Luke's Way is earning right now, this is pretty much at my limit. Images can take from 1 hours to 4 hours depending on how much characters are included in said scene and depends on the size of the textures used by the characters that are included in the scene. With each update, I have to cut off minor events due to insufficient time/resources and because of that some things seems to be rushed (fantastical).

What you see here is the pleasant side of each update, what you don't see is how much work and time needs every update starting from writing the planned events, making all the scenes so the characters they look real (poses, expressions, lights, etc.) and to look 100% fit for the scene, making sure that every decision player make is remembered somewhere in the code and that choice hit the player back later in the game.

Every update happens because of the support I have on Patreon and every $ I get from there is invested back in Luke's Way. Every help is appreciated and if anyone of you wants to help Luke's Way growing up is supporting me on my Patreon. Also huge thanks to those that already support me and to those that are helping me with proofreading and testing the pre-updates.

It went back to vn in the last update.
Do you have to complete all the free roam stuff before it switches back? I ran around a little bit trying to find something but those hints on the phone are pretty useless.

Yeah lots of the content in free roam either happens at the office, or after calling someone. Like calling Michelle and going over there. Unfortunately events firing at the office is on a dice roll so you either have to replay places or load/rollback.

Like they always say ...
On the evil one started work on

It's time for working on the next release and just like he did in his past two updates, here is another poll. Rachel and Samantha are not available for choosing because they'll get a minor events.

Choose from .... Krysten (Luke's ex-girlfriend)

Iris (webcam girl)

Raquel (Introduced in v0.9 in Michelle's office)

New girl (Ella's escort agency)

New girl (Late Night Studio)

there are already 59 votes in total cast already.

Hurry it all up and start spinning those theories off ...
before the evil user starts cooking his renders

Anybody from the beta team care to state what is this content all about with the girls and the polls?

Does it make any sense in the beta testing? Do we need the sand box back?

Is there anything to do after the sand box was ... turned to dust?

On this evl one made a call for
he bust open the books,
installed video cameras in all nooks and crannies of his studio
and made the call to ... Game Rescues ... Go test the evil!!!

Because of the latest changes, in v0.12 there will be no free-roam events anymore. He readjusted all the events to be VN style events and because of that he needs a few beta testers to do a complete re-run of Luke's Way (to start testing game from scratch). All those that are interested can PM him on p**on or on his dis**rd (which he did not touch since january).

Happy Game testing!

What is this 12th version all about?

For one, it is a brand new game

v. 12 requires a fresh install (do not touch any of the old saves !!!)

v.12 requires a fresh game play!!!

The sort of changelog for v. 12
