I've seen a lot of discussion on the F95zone forums on the apparent ethnic background and appearance of the female characters in light of my life. Some of it was real nasty - and admirably dealt with by the forum members - but overall people were kind and nice and really passionate about what they liked more, or not so much, about them.

So, in order to make it clear once and for all, I'd like to make it canon, here and now.

The ethnic background of the female characters of Light of my Life is... whatever you feel it should be... <sound of crickets>

Bear with me, this is not a cop-out. Sure, as the author, when I first created them I had a certain background and heritage in mind, but as I've stated on several occasions, the author is dead!  So, none of that matters one bit.  

In truth, I'm trilled to see the argument for them being Latina, Native American, Indian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Central Asian, or anything else. I believe that in many cases, the argument comes as much from wanting them to have that background as from tangible evidence. 

Coupled with the ability to name them whatever you want, your interpretation of their background can be reinforced even more (and the confirmation of any particular background that doesn't match that would jar equally so). Therefore, I will do my best to make sure no-one can ever lift a quote or hint from the game to definitively settle this argument. 

Your Meena will never say "Dios mio" out of the blue.

The ethnic background won't change anything, but set false expectations. Ethnicity is only as important as oneself or others make it to be.

Good way of handling it ;)

I'm of the opinion that ethnicity should be explored to add depth to writing. Usually parents will try to instill some of their heritage and culture in their children. However, this is a porn game, so I suppose it doesn't matter for the majority of the audience.

Ethnicity can be a strong and deep plot device, but the importance changes greatly from their own environment. Culture and the feeling of belonging to a larger group (that can in your example be replaced with heritage) are not always that strong connected with ethnicity. I think the importance also changes with culture and the personal view of the individum and the bigger surrounding.

>> I'm of the opinion that ethnicity should be explored to add depth to writing. You have a point, but *this* story was never supposed to explore those themes (the reactions kinda took me by surprise to be honest). Plus, if you're gonna do it, you should do it very well, and I am not sure have the right voice to do so, at least not in a real world setting.

Sounds good to me. Now I want to see a game with a latina, native american, middle eastern, mediterranean, and central asian girls. That would be awesome. Excelsior

I assumed they were Indian, but does it really matter? Why do people have to bring racism into a fucking porn game?

TheKid

Too late, I've decided they are Latina

Naughty Road

Nice to hear that, I'm working hard on the next update but I have no ETA just yet. It'll take some time though, but I'll try to keep you guys posted with little updates now and then...

I think their appearance is incredibly refreshing and beautiful. I am looking forward to future updates.

Honestly the character models are the main reason i'm a fan of the game. Good story telling aside, the models are unique when compared to the usual stuff you'd see in other games.
