It's been a while since we did one of these, so let's look at some numbers and see if we can figure out what that tells us about the state of chapter 7.
As usual, I'll be using number of images added for this chapter as an indicator. I'm curious to see where we stand. Warning, it's a bit off a dense read, sorry about that.
So how much content was added to the game as of now?
Right now, there's 17.3K images in the game. That's 17.300 images.
4,7K of tho...

No-one ever stops to think life as a monster girl can be quite challenging, to say the least. For anyone who's never tried it, those pesky frilly clasps, fasteners, and zippers that come with your favorite outfit or accessory were clearly not designed to be handled with suction cups. And as every she-werewolf knows all too well, when it's that time of the month, it's not just cravings that no amount of chocolate can satisfy: keeping those great big talons neatly manicured eats through you...

And so, as summer is well and truly over it seems, at least in my part of the world, you meet your girls in this closing wallpaper in the Summer Holiday series, to watch the sun set on the azure waves one more time, as a chill wind causes goosebumps to rise up on your arm and you all inch a little closer to the fire table. Of course, Denise picks a drink as sweet as she is, but Macy's choice is a promise to you about what she is planning to do, all night long.
A relatively straight ...

I've done a few behind the scenes write-ups, where I've focused on some technical aspects of making Light of my Life. Today I figured I'd do one about some other aspect of making the the game, which is the creative part, and more specifically, writers block and creative block.
So, the other day, I put an off-hand remark under the status update about having a short spell of writers block, and several people approached me on that, some to wish me luck, some expressing concern.

Development for chapter 7's been underway for over half a year now, and inevitably, people are getting antsy about when it's gonna release. Some in a friendly, interested way, and some in... not so friendly ways. Par of the course, I guess. People join up bringing wildly varying expectations on how all of this works, and those expectations don't always match the limitations imposed by reality.
Anyway, many of the questions that come up have been answered before in some way or another, s...

It's time for this month's wallpaper again. I had so much fun sending the girls on a summer vacation with the last one that I figured I'd do an encore.
After a harrowing and slightly jetlagged dash through late morning traffic, the girls have arrived at the beach for a day of fun and games in the cool water.
Another relatively simple one, with a set cobbled together from quite a few odds and ends I had lying around to give it that slightly jumbled, rundown look of a holiday ...

Hi all, it's been a little while since I did a behind the scenes, and today, it's about how to make dresses look good, among other things.
So, how does clothing actually work when you create images in DAZ3d, as I do for Light of my Life?
There's actually two mechanisms. For most of the clothes that follow the shape of a body closely, like a T-shirt, or some tight jeans, socks, shoes, or even a short, tight skirt, it uses a system called 'conforming' that simply tries to make...

So, you've arrived at your crummy lodgings late the night before, and of course the air-conditioning's busted, so you awaken tired and clammy. And, to add insult to injury, you woke up too late for the included breakfast. But who cares? At the rental shop next door, where the clerk that helped you looks suspiciously like the guy that checked you in last night, the ancient moped you booked in advance mutters to life after the fifth kick, and you just know it's gonna be great, because you're on...

A little write-up on progress of Light of my Life is long overdue, and as you can see from the progress indicator I've just stepped well and truly over the halfway mark, wrapping up a big lewd scene today that kept expanding in scope, but it has me really excited to see how you all will react to it when you come to play it.
Production has now been underway for about five months, and from the looks of it, it's shaping up to be quite similar to chapter 6 in scope and amount of work....

Time for another wallpaper. This one inspired by some off-hand remarks on discord a good while back. As usual, wallpaper ideas need a little time to ripen before they're ready to hatch, and I think this one was floating around for almost a year or so. I had some good fun reproducing a pose from a photo reference in making this one.
Even though this is the second distinctly Latin outing for the girls in a wallpaper, Macy and Denise's background remains "undefined, by canon" and...

Another month, another wallpaper. This one, featuring one of the extras from the last chapter, has a bit of a peculiar history with regards to how it came about. When I was designing the character I did one or two quick trial images, and one featuring this space suit and a pose floating in the air stuck with me, and maybe got me thinking a little of that zero G striptease scene from Barbarella (although that didn't age particularly well, I must say). So I kept it on the back burner for when I...

It's been a while since I did a little behind the scenes, so let's talk about sex, baby. Or more specifically, the bit that comes near the end when a man is involved, which is to say, semen.
They don't call it a money shot for nothing. For a sex scene involving a penis, it's usually in the most literal sense the climax of that scene, the moment it's been building to, the reward for sitting through endless teasing and bad punning. And, after spending two weeks or more producing the visua...

Another one so soon? Well, yeah. Valentine's weekend is upon us and I figured I'd get something in on time for the occasion this time, and get this month's wallpaper squared away.
In this case, it features Brooke as she prepares for some long, hard, good old-fashioned loving this weekend, and you are cordially invited.
As always, non-canon, and the 4k and textless versions are attached to this post.

The Red Queens hold court, scarlet rose petals fluttering in their wake as they sweep by. Tread carefully, those who enter their domain, lest you draw their ire. For when their cruel gaze locks on you, cries of "off with their head" are not far from their sanguine lips.
Today's wallpaper is all about creating an atmosphere of insolent decadence, with heavy draped fabrics and sharp edges, our heroines lazily indulging themselves as they lay ready to sink their gleaming claws int...

As is usual when developing anything, you tend to build up a little list of stuff that works for now, but you need to revisit later.
Developers (of the programming variation) call it technical debt. They build this debt to their future selves when they write some code that is good enough for now, but they know they'll need to refactor it later, to deal with stuff like more users signing up and putting heavier loads on servers, interfaces to other applications not being ab...

Well let me start with wishing you all a happy New Year.
Last year was a pretty crazy year in many respects, and it was doubly so for Light of my Life. Chapter 6 finally saw the light in in December, and with the aftermath, fixes and cleanup, ended up tallying up well above 2.6k hours of work in all (a running tally of time spent on Light of my Life is shown in the bottom right of the progress infographic).
What's been happening?

In this particular case, I'm gonna be using one of the more pivotal scenes in chapter 6 as an example, so if you haven't played it to completion yet, you will want to...

Here's a short update on the Beta progress and a tentative release indication.
So, the Beta's well underway, with a ton of typos and a few glitches caught. Luckily, nothing too serious. There's still a cog open on the progress infographic because I want to push a final beta-3 out tomorrow, but I'm not expecting too much issues to rise from that one (and of course, now I've jinxed it).
The gallery is now also updated, so that was one more big item on the list checked off.

- Get the gallery updated with chapter 6 content.

The beta for chapter 6 is out. If you indicated in the poll you wanted in, but didn't receive a message from me here on Patreon, shoot me a direct message and we'll get it sorted.
If you'd like to get in but were too late or changed your mind, also send me a direct message.
And of course, the official release is not far off now, so if you'd rather wait for the polished thing, it'll be around soon.
