I mean, the game is supposedly revolves around Lincoln being in summer vacation no?For now, Chapter 4 is just a .TXT file with poor grammar and lots of notes, nothing stablished. Same for other chapter's ideas. (don't ask, wont answer, lol)
I just want to leave a little space between the final scene in Chapter 3 and the 1st one in Chapter 4.
Between the 1st and the 2nd, and the 2nd and the 3rd chapter, just a couple of hours passed while Lincoln was sleeping. I think that adding a couple of days between 2 chapters will help to separate the acts of the entire game.
Starting from a "random" point of the day on a "random" day of the week will help to show Lincoln's "new normal" life. You know, like how Chapter 1 started: Lincoln daydreaming while talking with Ronnie in the school's hallway, like any other point on his normal life.
Thank you dude!!! Im glad you are enjoying it, and that the Character Codex helps with the names and such!
Feel free to... well... copypaste the message into a review hehehe
Kind of disappointed that it's not more multi-path oriented.
With so many girls, you'd think you'd have so many options
but the game is too focused on one outcome, so the "choices" are pretty meaningless

I believe the developers have already stated that your choices will start to matter more after chapter 3. There is already evidence of this in-game via stats. The game will be multi-path oriented as there will be at least two routes to follow. A family route and a childhood friend route. We just haven't gotten to the branching point yet.
Thats the thing, the branching point is not going to be a single, specific moment in the game were you will define if you are going to get the outcome A or B.
It will be the sum of several points in the game, what will shape what the ending will look like.
You can take a decision, and not see a difference until its too late.
For example, kissing Ronnie after getting out of Vanzilla or not, it looks like a simple way to show a cute scene and get love points with character A or character B, something simple...
Well, it isn't, the choice is saved, and characters would bring that up later when you dont expect it (like women irl lmfao)
This one is a small example that wont really change the ending, but future scenes.
But Chapter 3 will have the first "big decision" that will affect the game directly (yes, you will be warned when it comes, different hud and all) and we plan to have at least one of these with each girl individually, besides the final "mayor choices"
Compare this to Fallout New Vegas's choices with each companion, and the main story choices near the end.
If you think about it, this is easier to make, compared to simple branching points, while also adding more realism on the player's decisions shaping the future.
(Yeah, one day CatS and me are going to write a book about videogame design after retiring lol)

First of all, congrats to DMF for his mastery of Ren'py. I'm making a VN myself (just a passion project) with that program and while the basic stuff is easy and intuitive - and any code that works can just be copy/pasted ad libitum - there's still a lot of semi-uncharted territory where it's difficult to find tutorials and explanations... or to understand them. It's quite amazing what you've done with the more interactive parts of the Lewdest House. Just the idea of keeping track of all the choices, and keeping the code uncluttered, makes my head spin.
About the current chapter, my only wish and hope is that Lori will share the spotlight with Ronnie, meaning that they'll receive at least equal time. I think that Lori is one of the most erotic relationships you can have in the game, 'cause 1) she's got that big sister/maternal vibe 2) she's very uninhibited (and probably skilled). Perfect candidate for incest scenes.

I love all of the characters, and I'm enjoying the story so far, but I really can't wait for Lana, Lola, and Lisa. Loli particularly gets me excited (especially since there are no muscle girls in the show ).
Do you have an estimation on the next update?

Thank you!
Yes, learning from scratch is fun because there are lots of good tutorials to kickstart a game, and RenPy's built-in tutorial is really good to help, but once you want to add something a bit different, you have to be very creative to find a good way to achieve that, and that's when asking for help on their Discord, or other devs help a lot.
There is a short list of tips I learned either by other's help, or the hard way, or found out with the time to be helpful (Take in mind that my first time working with a programing language as with this game):

Next SUPPORTER release will be ready before January ends.
Finally got around to playing Chapter 3's content so far. I'm really enjoying it (I love Loricoln) and I quite like the signs of what the Big Choice will be this chapter. How Lori could part from Bobby feels organic, or at the very least why Lori will fall for Lincoln more. Some other things I like, from Lincoln kissing Luan because he's getting used to kissing his sisters to Lori and Lincoln sharing a room. Mmmm, I can imagine delightful things coming out of that sleeping arrangement.
My only non-serious complaint is now I have to wait for more Loricoln content

Thanks a lot for the tips DMF, that's very kind of you! These are excellent tips for beginners, like making separate script files for everything (and that's exactly what I do). Even when I started making my VN and there was just a handful of backgrounds and images, I was already desperate to find a way to keep code uncluttered and easier to find... and funnily enough, the basic tutorials don't mention that it can be done: for example, I've seen a tutorial suggesting to make a file for all your screens, named "my_screens"... yeah, right! One file for each screen is the only way to go.
I should follow your suggestion of making a custom UI that doesn't look like the sad, basic Ren'py template (I've changed the background, but icons and writings should look unique too).
Since you've talked about image compression, I'm gonna ask you a last tip: I use a lot of images with transparent backgrounds, so they must be PNG files. But Photoshop isn't great when it comes to compressing those. Is there a free program that can compress PNG files better?
Thanks again and keep up the good work!

YAC - Yet Another Cruncher (A Game Compactor) [V3.5]
It will batch compress them to WebP and handles other assets like videos. Unless you're running low on storage space I would recommend keeping a copy of the original uncompressed versions as with any compression some visual quality will be lost and some fans will pay a little extra for those.
What vilewe7570 said, compressing PNGs to WebP is the way to go. Alternatively, you can use some batch converters from the web.
I really hope when Luna get her chapter, Sam gets some major play in the plot. I love reading fanfiction where shes the driver for Luna realizing and going for her true feelings

The last scenes of the current Flashback involve Lori just as much as Ronnie... sort of marrying how the chapter is about both of them. There's an important choice during the flashback that can effect certain scenes you get later.
The goal is to give equal time, if not more time to Lori this chapter, since Ronnie will feature in others... More content is coming, it's just about laying the foundation for Ronniecoln as well as Loricoln.

Been meaning to lend my two cents with this subject way back but kept getting sidetracked.
As the resident and rare Lisacoln fan. The situation with Lisa having saucy scenes or rather the likelihood she might not get any is amusingly rather on point for the themes in Lisacoln as a concept (Or rather my concept). In a general Lisacoln story, Lisa is self-conscious about her intelligence so young. Feeling alienated because she isn't a child but she isn't a teen/adult either. Then she gets more angst when she falls for Lincoln and he falls for her. For she felt like she wouldn't be a good partner because she was too young to give him intimacy. Over the course of the story, they learn that love wasn't about kisses and sex, it helps to be sue, but love is so much more than that. In a way, the Lisacoln relationship reflects Lisa, mature.
Of course. That kind of story is a bit of an anathema for a horny game. But perhaps since Lisa in the back of the line that she could serve as a good way to serve as a reminder in a sense that while Lincoln is very much enjoy plowing his seven sisters, it doesn't mean that is the extent of his love for them. Sex is just a good side-bonus to love, not the end goal.
Whichever route is taken, I'm confident what you two cook up will be great.
Oooo, I look forward to it. But yeah, that makes sense. So far that chapter has been doing well with setting up the case for both Ronniecoln and Loricoln.
I respect the idea of perusing a romantic option with Lisa not based on sex, and even more so if the devs add that as an option. Like a Just Siblings->Just Romance->Romance & Sex.
Nice fun game, i don't know the original show but i like the art its original for a vn, the slice of life plot work pretty well but i wonder what have you planned after the trip to RonnieAnn because, for me, it was the "main plot"... Anyways nice work, i hope you'll have many chapter and take care !
