Nearing the end of the weekend after the release and the pledges are still coming, I still have a hard time believing it. There's even a couple in the $20 tier now, which... well... I'm not even sure I am able to deliver a game worth 20 bucks, so... heh... no pressure? :)
But equally astounding is that there's now over 60 patrons in all, and it doesn't matter how much you pledged, I'm really happy that you like it enough to come out and supported the game in any way you can, and I...

There's a service release for Light of my Life, version 0.2.1. There's absolutely NO new content, so if you've already finished with chapter 1, there's no reason to get it.
Fixes include:
Reduced textures in dream sequence to hopefully solve reports of crashes.
Touched up some renders with clothes clipping characters.
Added option to customize names etc. to preferences menu, use at your own discretion.

Wow, thank you all for your kind reactions to the release of Light of my Life. I truly feel humbled and inspired by all the positive feedback.
Thank you everyone coming out to sponsor the development of the game. I will do my best not to let you down.
First up for me is a little service release to fix some images and add an option to customize some aspects of the interactions for for instance android users, and then it's back to the creation of chapter two.

Chapter 1 (v02.) is out there. I'm a bit nervous about how you'll like it, but at the same time I'm pretty happy to be able to bring it out. It is the first installment, and with your support I hope to be able to bring the complete story I have planned to you.
I'm sure it'll be up at F95zone soon too, with all the additional mirrors and patches those guys put up, but for now here are the official links to Light of my Life, Chapter 1.

Another month, and I think I'm getting closer to a first release. I'm sorry thing are slow, I'm putting as nearly all my evenings and weekends into this (or at least as much as my wife will allow), but there's just a ton of stuff to do.
Three months since I started plugging away on this, and with the bulk of characters and sets now available, I've been able to really shift my focus on writing out scenes and implementing them, and now things are rapidly taking shape. To hold you ov...

Concepts are mostly done. I decided to go with a slightly more stylized look as I found myself firmly stuck in the uncanny valley where every flick of a slider only seemed to make things worse.
Starting to actually produce some content now. Here's a screenshot from the opening sequence and the first scene (were you can also specify the names of the player character and some of the main characters).

There was quite a bit of critique on the image included with the Light of my Life coming soon teaser, and rightly so. Apart from mapping out the scenes for week 1 of the game, building sets and browsing for fonts, I've reworked the models a bit.
The look I'm trying to go for is very much a girl next door look (with in this case a hint of the exotic). To me that doesn't mean a photo-model without makeup in daisy dukes, but someone whom you might have gone to school with, or works a...

So, a couple of days after posting First Contact on F95zone.com, and reactions have been mostly positive, which is totally not what I was expecting. Thanks all for your kind words, and a few of you for coming up and supporting me. You guys rock.
Workupload, one of the three mirrors I used to publish First Contact, shows it peaked at just shy of 1700 downloads on Friday, and we're approaching 4.000 file downloads in total. And that's just one of the three mirrors. Admittedly, numbers inc...

First Contact is our first game, out now for PC and mac. It's made using Ren'py, which is also capable of creating Android and/or iOS versions of the game. Is that something you would like to see?
