Well, someone leaked chapter 4 already, so I'm not going to force you to pick up a pirated version with whatever crap may have been edited into it. Releasing the official version to all tiers as of now.
Chapter 4 is now released to Patrons.
Release notes v0.5.0
- Includes Chapter 4.
- Another slew of spelling and grammar fixes.
- S-3 will hence forth be known as the coven.
- Uses Ren'py build 7.3.5, which seems to solve some of the pup-up keybo...

Chapter 4 is now available to patrons. Direct messages with links have been sent out to all eligible patrons at the moment of release.
If you did not receive a message and you think you are eligible, or if you wanted to up your pledge but were late, send me a DM and we'll get things sorted out.
Clarification: eligible patrons are (girl)friend and up tiers.

By now, the proofers have had their hands on the BETA1 version of Chapter 4 for a day or so, and anyone who's eligible for the beta should have received a message about it.
If you think you should have gotten a message, but haven't, reach out to me and we'll sort it out.
And that also means things are looking good for a patron release somewhere in the second half of next week.

As covid-19 keeps the world in it's grip, I'd like to start out expressing my hope that all are doing well and wishing all of you the best in dealing with this situation.
In the greater scheme, a simple visual novel might not seem all that important, but perhaps having something to entertain you and take your mind of things, if only for a few moments, is worth something, and if so, then I hope Light of my Life will contribute a little bit to that.
So, on to the state of Chapter 4: I...

April's come, and what a weird one it is. While everywhere around the world, people are retreating into their homes and find other things to do as they see their social life and jobs shrink away, I've started my new job, working from home. Challenging as it is, I'm very grateful to be lucky enough to continue working, while so many are forced to stop. I really hope all of you are well and healthy, and able to cope with the situation around the world today.
Well then, on to the status of...

Time for a little status update on Light of my Life:
With the end of March slowly creeping up on us, so's the end of this mini sabbatical I've been on. The new day-job starts April first, and although I signed up for 32 hrs. a week so I'd have an extra day a week to spend on LomL, I have no doubt it'll slow down progress on the game, especially for the first period as I'm getting to grips with the demands of the new job.
Status wise, I'd say I'm at or over three quarters done. The...

With all that's happening in the world, here's a little theme wallpaper to hopefully take the edge off.
Macy and Denise (and I) hope you'll all stay healthy, and find a way to cope with the other negative effects of this crisis on our lives as well.
Usually, special renders and sneak peeks are reserved for the (G)F and up tiers, but since this is affecting us all, I'm opening it up to all tiers. I'll have an exclusive, more risque version up later, when I've worked throu...

Two new wallpapers. This time a swing at a superhero kind of theme. Obviously, this is not canon.
The Princess of Darkness carries an ancient taint in her heart. She is driven by a hunger she dare not sate, and lashes out in fury with claws sharp enough to rip out your heart, and her own, for that matter.
Angelikitten derives her angelic transformation abilities from an ancestral amulet that provides the wind beneath her wings, allowing her to invoke the po...

So, not too long ago I wrote a post about not wanting to go with pay up front, in which I laid out my reservations against paying for something without being able to try it out, and explained how I want Light of my Life to be available for everyone, and for people to support it because want it to be made, not because they are locked out of it.
I'd hoped to be able to show that this wouldn't matter at all in how a game is doing, and perhaps even show that it makes it do...

Man time flies. A little update is long overdue, so here goes.
Chapter 4 status: progressing.
I often get asked if I can't do a percentage finished counter or something, but I find that pretty hard to do.
Unlike my day job, with Light of my Life a large part of the joy is just going with where my fancy takes me, and sometimes it takes me down a dead end or a lot of extra work. Of course, I've got the main story events all planned out and have a prett...

Chapter 3 was released just before the holidays, and it was a bumpy ride for me indeed. Circumstances related to my day job left me with a bunch of spare time in the month leading up to it, and I made the most out of that little gift by packing as much as I could into chapter 3, and adding a holiday related extra scene to it. Judging by most of the reactions, the effort has been worth it, even if it left me a bit exhausted.
After taking about a week and a half off during the holid...

It seems Light of my Life is getting streamed tonight. I'm excited: as far as I'm aware, it's the first time. It'll be around 2 am CET (+/- 1 hr) this Friday evening (or technically, Saturday morning), which is about 8 pm ET if I'm not mistaken?

No new story content!
If you played chapter 3, there's little reason to download this (unless you want to play it again).
- Considerable size reduction after compressing a large amount of images.
- Whole lot of spelling and grammar errors fixed. Thanks to everyone who submitted them to me!
- Fixed a choice flag not setting correctly causing some wrong dialogue between M+D.
- M+D Gallery is now multi-page because the menu didn't reall...

There's a problem with the Android version of chapter 3, causing it to crash. The problem is that some assets have grown too large, and it is causing memory issues. I am very sorry, I should have tackled that before release.
The solution seems to be to reduce memory size used by assets, but it's not a quick fix. I'll bring out an updated, working version as soon as I can. Watch this space and again, sorry.

Yes, you're right. And this is where we're at:
Finished all rendering. There's some cleanup and corrections to be done, but every image for the next chapter is made. Also, all writing and scripting on chapter 3 is finished. That means it's content complete.
Proofreading is about to start. After my final end to end play through today, I'll have a version to hand over to the...

I enjoy creating sets a lot, maybe more than I really should, because it is another great way to add character to a scene.
In this case, I was aiming for the kind of area that everyone who's spent any time in an office building that's been in use for quite some time will know: the room where all the stuff no-one uses is dumped.

Pay up front is a setting on Patreon where patrons are charged the amount they pledge when they subscribe, rather than at the end of the month. The idea, I guess, is that it prevents people from pledging, grabbing the goodies, and then rescinding on their pledge.
A lot of the VN Devs seem to go with it, but I don't think I will.
There's a bunch of small reasons I don't want to go there. For starters, I'm ashamed to admit there's not all that much special content to nick in t...

Well, it's been a while since we last had a preview, so I really should put up something.
Sara, Zarah and Sierra. They started out as a cameo from First Contact, but people seemed to enjoy them enough to warrant putting them on the roster.
However, they were in dire need of some clean-up. For starters, none of them had eyelashes(!), also one of them had three-toed feet and freakishly long legs and none of them could properly close their eyes.
