Good game so far. I have a sneaking suspicion I know exactly what that 'person' does, but I can't say more without spoilers naturally. Should be interesting if I'm even partially right though.
The current (mid_September 2024) Windows version crashes immediately fter the title splash page. I have downloaded it three times and this occured on each instal.
I don't know what a "Discord server" is, but it sounds argumentative. The problem is straightforward: I unzip your distribution file and run the exe. This shows your pretty splash screen and then either fails immediately or else goes on to the introductory page and fails there. I have trashed all the downloaded material so I cannot repeat it for chapter and verse. I am running a top end 17 thread 64GB windows 10 workstation.
The bug has been caused by a collision between old and new Chapter Selection System. The bug has been reported to the website called Discord where you can talk to the community and the developers.
Please be patient and await for a hotfix update of the current Public version of Light My Way.
Wish I could support on patrion too, but.. is playing and enjoying the current working build (w/ up-to chapter four) enough until I could actually get the money to pay for patrion?
I just did a re-install and I was able to launch it! But.. Mrs. Longfang looks like she didn't get a good visit with the Queen of Hearts in Wonderland lol (never knew this was how characters were set though.. but it seems easier to do than having to make individual sprites with a face and body pose :D )
Kieran's legal name has been changed to "None" in chapter 5 lmao, I just know Catherine was behind it. Btw erm will there be an atlas redemption in the future or is the bridge so burned it is in hell?
Hello. Do you actually want to know? I can tell you the entire storyline if you want me to, so you don't have any surprises anymore :P Or would you prefer reading the novel?
Hello. All public builds are currently on hiatus until further notice. Progress can be followed on our Ko-Fi page or Patreon. Thanks for reading so far 🐯
I loved reading the story, a different theme that I really like, one that I look forward to releasing with great pleasure. Sad that I can't pay patreon, I would love to help with some money, you guys deserve all the support.
Hello. No idea. Between working a full-time job and paying the coder and artist for each chapter, I don't have that much free time and funds to fully develop a story and give it out as soon as possible. Have fun reading other FVNs in the meanwhile :)
acabo de terminar de leerlo y ame la historia, uno de las cosas que más me gusto fue la musica y el como estan hechos los personajes, no soy una persona que logre ver los aspectos tecnicos de la historia, pero definitivamente me gusto, desafortunadamente soy más pobre trabajador de mc donalds y no puedo pagar el patreon ;-;
There is no explicit sexual content if that's what you're asking. As for SFW, well, there are horror themes involved but there is no gore involved either.
Como me gustaría comprar algo en la tienda, por desgracia no tengo los recursos, intentaré donar algo a través del Patreon pero Dios que gran obra de arte, simplemente exlente
Thank you so much for the kind words! We will do our best to continue to offer the same level of entertainment 😊 Please support our novel by becoming a patreon and/or sharing it with your friends or on social media 🦊
Well, I've used my poor knowledge of English to finish the novel for the time being. Overall, it was amazing (five stars！), and（for story next） personally I'm looking forward to seeing how the plot improves on its subsequent setting (because it's very fresh to me!). As well as the setup of the main line conflict (and the constant run-in with the characters), so far this part of the update is great!Just keep your wonderful creation! Sincerely wish your works can continue to be productive!
So I've just begun this vn and at the start I saw Romanian as a language option?? If y'all need an extra translator hmuuu (and side note really excited to experience the vn, only heard good things ab it :))
I overlooked this when I saw it a few months ago but I'm glad I came back and took time to read it. 👍 A few spots here and there that seem a bit rushed I'd say it was a great read, keep it up!
so it was right before they cuddle in bed I guess a couple weeks went by where they didn't really interact at all, it felt a bit fast for them to suddenly just sleep in the same bed. I wish they had some sort of interaction prior during the day Maybe they finally got a chance to hang out again ya know?
I kind of felt the same way when he got with atlas they apparently never interact much anymore to just suddenly hooking up. Some build up like them interacting and hanging out again prior for a few days with a little tension would be nice.
You said it's not a romance novel but two instances of romance that seem to add major plot points to the story have happened and they felt a bit sudden or rushed leading up to the instances.
But fr it's not really a big deal and I still love what you have so far :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I do see you have a preference for, perhaps, a slow-burn style where things are prepared in advance, there is some build-up and then there is release. But things don't always happen like that in real-life scenarios or even fictional ones. Sometimes there is no hanging out, talking about nothing in particular, and ending up together be it sexually or otherwise.
What you are describing are beats from romantic dating sims or plots, which are great genres in themselves, but also somewhat predictive and a tad slow. It could be that you are applying the same story structure those genres have to this novel. It's not a bad thing. In fact, it goes to show that you gave some thought to how the story is advancing and that means it got you immersed in it to care enough to write a comment :)
**spoiler alert for the following paragraph**
If you re-read the part, for example, where Lucian and Atlas meet up again after their hook-up, we find out why both of them did what they did because they talk about it. Their actions were normal based on the situation and nothing was rushed in terms of the "why". As for Darius, he also explains his reasons and Lucian gives in because he wants to be a good friend. All of their reactions are based on their unique circumstances, not necessarily on a predetermined narrative structure.
Consider reading this story with a different structure in mind, or better yet, try to let yourself be surprised by what can happen. Many more pleasurable and unique moments can arise from chaotic, rushed, and sudden turn of events than from the slow and often predictable ones.
Looking forward to your thoughts on Chapter 4. Let's see if it captivates you just as much as the previous ones!
Hello. If you mean if we are going to finish it, then yes. The story is 80% already written and the last 20% has been outlined and plotted out. There are already several chapters fully edited for production as well, we just need the visual and audio assets to finish up each build. We aim to publish one build per month. Hope you enjoy our kinetic novel. We worked really hard on it :) Have fun reading!

Hello. Do you actually want to know? I can tell you the entire storyline if you want me to, so you don't have any surprises anymore :P Or would you prefer reading the novel?

Nevermind!The story itself is good enough.I am still desirable for the updates.

Hello. No idea. Between working a full-time job and paying the coder and artist for each chapter, I don't have that much free time and funds to fully develop a story and give it out as soon as possible. Have fun reading other FVNs in the meanwhile :)
When is the public update coming out? If it will be a while, I'll watch the new update on patreon.
The public update will only come out when chapter 6 is ready.

Thank you 😊 Which parts felt rushed to you?
I reread the part I was thinking of.
so it was right before they cuddle in bed I guess a couple weeks went by where they didn't really interact at all, it felt a bit fast for them to suddenly just sleep in the same bed. I wish they had some sort of interaction prior during the day Maybe they finally got a chance to hang out again ya know?

Hmmm, nah just some more small interactions or a little more story prior in a few instances, regardless I love the visual novel.
Your amazing Bat studios I hope You and I become great friends
:)
Will this VN have routes for each love intrest?
Hello. No. This is not a romantic dating sim. It's a linear kinetic novel 😊
Are you looking for proofreaders at the moment?
Hello. Not at the moment, but thank you for reaching out 👍
Before I play this does this to be continued
Hello. If you mean if we are going to finish it, then yes. The story is 80% already written and the last 20% has been outlined and plotted out.

I wasn't trying sound rude sorry
I didn’t think you were rude 😊
OMG, I freaked out when the default name was Lucian because that is my name!!!
A happy coincidence? 😊
Yup, I love the story thus far, can't wait for future posts!
When will chapter 3 be public?
About 3 weeks 👍
It's a pity that I haven't seen the old sprites.So can you upload the last version?Thank you very much.
Hello. Sorry, but we won't upload the version with the old artwork anymore. I hope you liked the story so far :)
It's okay. A friend of mine sent me a previous version of the game. And I really like this story.I hope your game will become better and better.
Thank you 😊
its cool to have like a 5th vn that's sfw
Thanks for reading! :)
