Release dateAlright, the announcement everyone's been waiting on:After more than 500 days, and 4k3 grueling hours, chapter 7 of Light of my Life is, finally, done. It adds ~10k of new images, bringing the grand total up to 23k2 or thereabouts. It adds, I don't know, a lot of lines of dialog, okay. Plenty of innuendo, some will say too much, some will say not enough. Macy rolls her eyes a lot, Denise gives you that look, co-workers are up to stuff. And soon you can see for yourself. It'll be released this Friday (the 11th) if all goes well, first here, and publicly immediately after I have the mirrors up, and by that time hopefully itch.io will be updated as well.I'll have a bit more to say when I put it up. I still have to write some release notes to go with it. What's up with Android?Ah, yeah. So, it's a bit weird, it seems to work fine for most people, but I've had a couple of testers with problems (including my own trusty S9), and it doesn't seem related to Android version, architecture, the age of the device, or the resources available on the device. I feel that points to a problem on those devices rather than a problem with the build, maybe settings or other apps, but it warrants more research. I'm not letting it hold up the releases though, we'll just have to figure this thing out when it's out there, maybe some additional eyes can help pinpoint the problem.How big a download is it?Well, since we nearly doubled in the amount of images, it should come as no surprise we nearly doubled in size too. PC/Mac/Linux versions clock in at about 8GB. Android's still just under 2GB. How big is it exactly?I'm not sure. Pretty big. My last happy path playthrough for final tweaks and additions took me about two days or something. But that's with fixing stuff along the way as well. But soon you can see it all for yourself.

My dude/dudette you better be taking some time off after this. Holy sh*t what a journey!

8GB... wow that's a whole lot of wholesomeness! I can't wait to play it, but at the same time, I would love to have a compressed version available if possible. Thank you in advance

Marcus

We who are here for the Macy eyerolls and Denise worried looks salute you!

Mr JC

Fantastic news.

Naughty Road

Hmm, that's a tough one. I'd prefer to have the one build with highest fidelity images up for the desktops, the android version comes with some heavy compression and clocks in at just under 2 GB, but it's very noticeable on a big screen. IMHO, it's worth the bandwidth for the image quality, but I'm not sure what constrictions you are under wrt to your connection, and how much of a luxury that extra bandwidth is.

Finally, my favorite AVN returns on Friday! Cannot wait, cheers everyone!

Now the real question is - when will Chapter 8 drop? JK. Thank you for your tireless efforts Naughty. Can't wait til Friday.

NAUGHTY I LOVE YOU MATE, well, maybe. That comment was more for letting you know how thrilled I am. Be still my beating heart and all that. I have worn out my mouse replaying over and over up to Chap 6 so I might go buy a new one to play 7. Mate an incredible effort and I am sure the majority of peeps on here feel the same. Now is the time you need to kick back and relax and forget about computers for a bit to get your noggin squared away. Maybe not for to long as everyone will be clambering away away wanting you to start 8. Again well done buddy you're the best.

4k3 hours in more than 500 days? Man, give yourself a break. However, I appreciate the extra effort. I'm looking forward to experience your great work once again

Wirefull

Congrats ! Proud to witness this achievement ! Say, I wanted to ask : you kept mentioning paths in your update progress notes. While the happy path is usually the one I'm going after, is it possible to have a really drastic change of event, depending of the relationship with the girls ? E.G : being intimate with one and at war with the second ? And all that comes with that. Or it's just events that won't trigger because of the intimacy threshold ?

Old Salt

Congrats! Excited to see/play through the results

You can now take vacations for the great work friend you deserve it

Looking forward to it!

Oh, right. Several terms bleeding into each other here. VNs come with story paths, so for instance you're with the girls, you've dumped Brooke, you had fun with two of the coven but not a third, that's three story paths. Then there's a the term "happy path test", or a better name is "happy flow test". It's basically means you're testing to see if you get through it with no errors just playing it, rather than try to see if you can break the game by picking less obvious choices, trying out every possible combination of choices that influence each other, etc. So, two unrelated concepts, but I can understand the confusion. And while there's quite a few variations of how things play out based on previous choices and standing with characters, it won't really result in a completely different storyline, as that would mean writing several stories at once, rather than writing variations of one story, and that would require even more work. :D

Do you have a time on the 11th? Like will it auto-drop at 12:01am or something? Middle of the day? Just wondering if it's something I can mess around with before or after work that day, depending on when it drops.

Wirefull

Ok, got it :) Thanks for the detailed answer !
