Chapter 5 is out now, and it was quite a ride to get it done. Without further ado, here are the links:

Well, as you've probably gathered, release is now very close.
If you are planning to tier up for the sole purpose of gaining access to the beta, beware that very soon there will be the actual release. If you're tiering up to support the game, you are awesome and I very much appreciate your support.
2020-12-30 00:52:22 +0000 UTC View PostBeta's out and a ton of typo's and a few real bugs are being annihilated as we speak. I got android working too I think, so that's out of the way. I expect I should be able to release the official version before the new year.
2020-12-25 23:52:05 +0000 UTC View PostRight, so I've come to a point where it's time to talk release dates and remaining work. Let's start with the latter and work it out from there. Skip to the TLDR; if you're not interested in me droning away.
Current state
Chapter 5 is on the brink of content complete. That's the point where all the renders are done and the scenes are scripted out, etc., and you can basically play the update from end to end. It's the point with all the portraits filled in on the progr...
Question number one these days seems to be when the next update is due, in one form or another. One quick look at the progress bar shows it can't be too far off now. So, why don't I give a date already? Well, I won't until I'm sure it I can hit it, and here's a three reasons why:
One: it'll turn around on me.
Any date I mention now, no matter how much I emphasize that it's tentative, unreliable and might slip, will be a rock-solid date once word gets out, and when it...
As I'm slowly coming to the realization that for anyone not already in a tropical paradise, it's gonna be a little while before they can have a tropical vacation, I decided to have a little holiday in my head and make this themed wallpaper, imagining "Angel and SnaPs" there embarking on some Disney animation style adventures.
In case you're wondering what gives with the colors: in trying to get a wrinkled page look going, it sorta did that and I thought it gave it a nice oversatur...

Friend and colleague DroidProductions (of Love of Magic fame) has joined forces with Flexible Media to create Paradise lust, and I really enjoyed their first release. Here's what they have to say about it:
Paradise Lust is a visual novel and erotic dating sim, interspersed with simple subgames. The game follows the story of the wreck of the Moby Dick; a pleasure yacht chartered by the Miss World Media pageant for a luxury promo cruise in the South Pacific. You play the role of...
Well, even though I've been able to update the progress bar every Wednesday over the past period, it's been a little while since the last write up, so let's do some numbers again.
Keep in mind that the number below are rough, and the conclusions you can make from them come with a wide margin of error.
Let's do the images.
Right now there's 6101 individual .png image files in LomL, and 3800 .webp files. Since I've last converted .png files into .we...

A couple of days ago, the sad news that Adult VN developer Palmer had died shook the adult games community. A few passionate people got a bunch of developers together to create a tribute wallpaper to Palmer, which you can in the In Memoriam here on LewdPixels, as well as attached to this message.

The wallpaper's a little bit early this time, so you can get some use out of.
This time round it's the coven, snapping a quick selfie while on their way to the Sabbath for an evening of fun, food and sacrificial bloodletting. HD and UHD versions attached.
(Creator and license info for deer skull used in this image here).
I know, I know, right! I'm updating the progress bar in the latest info pinned post every week or so, but since a lot of us (myself included) are starting to feel itchy about the time it's taking, here's a little more info on what's going on this update and why it's taking longer.
This chapter takes place in some all new surroundings for the most part. That means that there's not a lot from the first four chapters that I can reuse or expand on as I did with previous releases. It all has...

I knew I wanted to do something with that cute little monobike the moment I stumbled on it, and this is the end result. I imagine the girls taking a drive downtown to do some shopping or sightseeing. I hope you like it.
You probably recognize the image in the billboard behind the girls. Originally, I intended to create a simple Robot Sierra render just to put on that billboard, but it turned into its own little side project, resulting in last month's wallpaper.
There's a couple of...

Every now and then I do special renders, including the sorta monthly wall papers, but there's also one or two other images created over time. Since I guess not everyone scrolls back through the old posts to find them (and I've been tagging the posts pretty poorly at the start so it's not easy to find them), so I've created a little catch-up pack.
Find all images in the zips attached to this message.
Note, not all wallpapers and images come in UHD.
2020-09-06 17:42:54 +0000 UTC View PostI got to thinking a bit about measuring progress, and how often times you'll see a release of a VN coupled with some statistics like "this updates adds X images, Y words", and even though those numbers are largely useless when determining how worth-while an update is, it got me thinking about seeing if I could figure out how substantial this update is.
A little bit about my release process first: all the images in development are png files, and when I'm just about ready to release, I co...

As early adopter, you are entitled to a set of complementary wallpapers, which you'll find attached to this message. Please enjoy your Sierra in a responsible manner and follow safety guidelines at all times.
Edit: for anyone who's confused about all this: it's a new set of wallpapers. Find the UHD and textless versions attached to ...
2020-08-29 18:09:58 +0000 UTC View PostI figure it's been a while since the last sneak peek.

Well, it depends on your point of view, really, but a quick update post will maybe help to take away some concerns.
I haven't written all that much here on Patreon. There is a pinned post called latest info, which should be right at the top, that updates every week or so with progress, but I guess it's an easy one to miss.
So, how are things going with chapter 5? Well, that pinned post should give you some indication, as each face on there represents a scene in chapter 5, an...

It's time for another Macy and Denise adventure, as your girls find themselves on the set of the latest Bollywood Blockbuster and seize the opportunity to have some fun.
This particular one's been on the back of my mind for quite a while but it didn't come together until a few days ago. UHD version attached.
Of course, the background of Macy and Denise is headcanon by canon, so don't treat this as an official confirmation (or denial) in any way, shape or form about that p...
2020-07-27 17:25:51 +0000 UTC View PostOne question that always seems to be on everyone's lips is "what's the news on chapter X?". Usually, I'm hard pressed to come up with a coherent answer.
"It's underway" is the best I can muster most of the time, unless we're getting really close, then I can say "it's nearly there." The new progress indicator thingy up there in the "latest info" post, pinned at the top, is more informative than I could hope to be in that regard.
Still, I get where the question is coming...

Wow what an amazing milestone, over one thousand supporters. We will probably see that number drop by a little after the next billing round, as is normal, but still, never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that we'd ever touch that number.
On behalf of Macy and Denise and the rest of the cast, thank you all for supporting Light of my Life and helping to make this game a reality! 2020-06-26 16:58:09 +0000 UTC View Post
A little wallpaper for your enjoyment. UHD version available from the attachment.
2020-06-26 16:32:59 +0000 UTC View PostEdit: this was the latest info post before, but it seems comments can't be added anymore. Creating a new one and letting this one stay around for the comment history.

Featuring a celestial knight and a space... princess. UHD version is attached as a download.
Next up: a cross promo that perfectly matches the theme of this wallpaper.

As a fan of SL and Tales of the Unending Void, I'm very excited for this opportunity to do a cross promo with Perveteer. Portrait version of that amazing poster attached separately for your pleasure. -NR
Perverteer is creating choice-based visual novels in Ren’Py. You might just know him from the just-completed SL, a story about a young man who, after the death of his father, moves to a new home to live with Liza, Bella, Rachel and Susan/Mrs. Smith. You control the MC a...

Although they already had a soft launch a little back, LewdPixels.com is now officially live. It has editorials, reviews, guides. And there's an interview with yours truly.
Check it - and many other great articles about adult gaming - out on 2020-05-29 23:31:26 +0000 UTC View Post
At this time, I've finished outlining the scenes I need for chapter 5, acquired a bunch of assets, did a couple of proof of concepts, and have now started rendering out the first new images for that chapter. All in all, I've come up with about 42 scenes, which is about 15 less than chapter 4.
However, most of them involve completely new venues, wardrobe and poses, so the amount of work may actually be a bit more than was involved in chapter 4. But your girls and the story required...

Sales tax update: I've configured some detailed information on the benefits for each tier, allowing Patreon to calculate sales tax over only a portion of your pledge, where applicable.
I've updated the Buddy and (Girl)Friend tier descriptions to match these configured benefits better and make sure you're not taxed unnecessarily, so please make sure to check out the updated descriptions if...

Well, chapter 4 is done and out...
...and it was an interesting release to say the least.
Right off the bat, I'd completely misjudged the interest there would be for people to wait for the moment of release to pledge, or pledge up. I thought I'd be able to handle a few requests manually, but DMs were coming in so fast that I couldn't keep up, and had no choice but ...

Update 0.5.2 of Light of my Life. I expect this will be the last update for chapter 4.
Change notes:
Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st. Nothing changes for patrons from the EU, they already pay VAT.

What Patreon has to say on the subject:
Less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small. For example, sales t... 2020-05-20 07:29:54 +0000 UTC View Post
