It’s a great game, but the story line off Maggie does not fit in. No man with the problems mc has to face would get involved with her and her mother, because off the risk in it for him. You should be able to reject her.
Don’t know how far in I am at this point but two things that really annoy me are the hairy arms the MC has, I’m constantly waiting for him to turn into a werewolf, gross. Then there’s Cooper, your main love interest with whom you spend most of your time with…if you are playing these games to hang out and chat with some dude all day, this one is for you. Not really why I downloaded this game to be honest so you can imagine my disappointment so far, just sayin…I’ve resorted to skipping all dialog from him. Holding the skip button can feel like minutes sometimes..
Rest seems okay, renders and animations are nice. Gonna finish it considering Cooper doesn’t annoy me too much.
Every game has an asshole friend for some reason. I guess it’s so you can also play a gross, rude idiot if you want. In any case, lots of eye candy in this one.
@Everyone: play this game, seriously, it’s a gem in the making !!!
This one caught my interest a few months ago. Had a HD crash last month, lost all progress on every game – so when I saw ep.2 was out, had to play it from the beginning again. And I’m not dissappointed at all !!!
I get a Leap of Faith-vibe from time to time. In a positive way.
It’s a great story, good pace, lots of choice, great renders, it has a similar soundtrack-vibe in ep.2 and it has GREAT humour, and a lot of it.
Hats of to the dev, support his work!
Amazing title.
Sure there are some naive issues in script, but as for renpy VN its ok.
Choices are very good – and actualy matter (you change how game proceed). And I love small touches like when with choices the atmosher changes – backgroud music gets more flirty or serious depends of your choices – e.g. with Jasmine in lab).
Beside the renders are top notch, music is good, and mini-racing games are ok, episodes, especaily 2nd I longer than usual with renpy VNs – it took me about 5h with replays. The sex scenes could be better, but aren’t that bad sooooo….. must play….
You should play it as hell if you liked No More series, Intertwined or Fresh Women. TBH, I think No More Money 3rd season and FW 2nd season lose some impact and I find Race of Life replacing them at the top of renpy VN moutain (yeah, but there is still only one king above – Being Adicted ;)).
You can also play it if you like a little more serious titles like Leap of Faith (but it was more serious than Race of Life so far) or Three rules of Life (which is sooo great, but ok.)
Renders are so good. Episode 2 is good too. But my only complaint is gap between each update. It takes almost a year for one episode.
Also developer saying 6+ hours of gameplay is such a lie. Each episode is an hour long. Total of 2 hours game play.
dev had/has serious health issues
Oh didn’t knew that. Hope everything is ok now
that’s what pretty much every dev comes out with as an excuse/reason if that is the case then put the damn thing on hold until they feel like there upto it instead of in this case lying about the content length because it kinda makes you look scummy if you feel you need to lie about stuff
Almost a whole year for ep 2
We need a android port for episode 2 pls
Fantastic game. Models are pretty and the story is engaging. Only thing I wish that was better are the sex scenes. They are pretty short.
rest. they just gave it a break
Great start. Those phone interactions are pretty annoying though
Fucking assholes abandoned ” the best days of our lives” I cant believe I gave money for that game
New episode out.
not a bad start not the greatest tbh drama with the ex wife got boring real quick best friend also got annoying pretty quickly typical flirty student which has been done many times before, not really a fan of timed choices so not sure i will continue with this if there are too many of those, models are decent animations are good same typical mc who is an ass hole who cheated not like that has been done before over all it’s mediocre to ok for me hope it improves in the next update but i’m not gonna hold my breath
2 DAYS AGO AT 1:24 PM
Development update – 27.07.23
Hello everyone!
I’ve mentioned it earlier that in the next development update I’ll try to give you guys an estimate of when the release will be and the time has come. I’m assuming that with the current state of development, we can say that Episode 2 will be out at the end of August/beginning of September. I’m quite confident that the renders and animations will be ready by the end of August, but the development is not only about renders, so I prefer to assume that the release will be closer to the beginning of September 😊
Besides the renders, I have to put the last scenes into the code, add music and sound effects to the entire Episode 😅 Also, I know that there’ll be dozens of renders that need fixing in post-work or even re-rendering. After finishing the renders, there will be a lot of work on the aesthetics of the game, which will also take some time. Beta testers also need the time to test the final scenes. They did an amazing job and most of the Episode is already very well tested and fixed. Of course, you should also remember about the release priority for the highest tiers Patrons. Champions ($100 Patrons) will get the game one week before others, Racers ($50) 5 days, Mechanics ($20) 3 days and Bookmakers 1 day. I hope you can hold out for a little longer, because we’re already on a final straight! 🥳
Today’s preview is a bit different because yesterday I submitted Race of Life for a Steam review and I figured it’d be nice to show you how RoL’s main screen in your Steam library will look like 😃 This render will be a key marketing image on Steam and will be used in the library as well as in the store.
And as always, a few words from Joshua:
With the race scene now complete, we’re in the final stretch to releasing Episode 2.
As we’ve said before, there will be quite a bit of playtime in Episode 2, so while the development cycle has been long, I think players will see where the time was spent. There are two big events that play out very differently depending on player decisions, so while they took a lot of time, I think they’ll be a lot of fun.
As for me, writing Episode 3 is continuing well. I’ve just finished another scene, and I estimate the script is about 1/3 done. The characters have been fleshed out well, and we’re getting into the point where the story is picking up the pace. Jake will be leaning heavily on the people around him to help him reach his goals, which includes his love interest(s). How that plays out will depend on the player, and some of the girls are more helpful (and more open to adventure) than others.
Thanks to everyone that’s been so patient. I understand that it’s been a long time between updates, but we’re almost there now. I appreciate everyone who has provided feedback (even if it was negative).
Special thanks go out to our beta testers as well. They’re doing a great job of checking every detail so that the final result is even better.
Hey, I just wanna say that you made quite a lovely game here. Renders are fantastic and so is the story.
Considering that it’s still only 1 episode released so far, I held off for a little bit..
But have now decided to try it out in hopes of being greeted with a proper amount of content for it’s early state, which in turn would suggest that a full and completed version would be quality, and I’m so happy to have found out that it is.
Only thing I wanna underline is: DEV, DON’T SLACK NEAR THE END! you bastard :D, and this will be a BAD-type gem because you’ve laid the groundwork well my friend.
Great work so far, great game.
Honest 8.8+ on IMDB with the potential to stay between it and 9.2 or even higher, out of 10, throughout development.
Keep it up.
Development Update – 19.04.23
Hello everyone!
The last two weeks have not been as productive as I would like. Easter, one of my family member’s birthday party and my day job meant I didn’t have much time to work on Race of Life. Despite this, I managed to make a few dozens of renders and create one new environment. For this reason, I thought this development update would be a bit different than the others. I think you deserve full transparency when it comes to RoL development and for that reason I would like to explain to you why development may seem to have slowed down recently.
1. I’ve mentioned this many times before, but I’ll repeat it again – Episode 2 is really big. Considering I’m the only 3D artist in our two-person team, it’s really time consuming to make thousands of images and dozens of animations in a reasonable amount of time. And the art itself is not the end of the work. You have to take care of the code, test it, take care of the SFX, etc. All this translates into hundreds if not thousands of hours of work. 😕
2. I work on Race of Life in my free time. I have a day job which often requires me to work irregular hours and therefore there are situations where I have very little free time. I sincerely hope that someday I will be able to take up Race of Life as a full-time job, but for now it must be as it is. All we can do is make sure that Episode 3 will be smaller and easier to create. 😄
3. At first I didn’t want to talk about it, but looking at how much time I’ve wasted on this and how much time I’m likely to lose in the future, I thought you should know about it. In January this year I was diagnosed with sinus cancer. Fortunately, it is not a malignant tumor, but it still requires surgery. Since January I’ve spent many days looking for a hospital to take care of me and I found it only a few days ago. It’s very possible I’ll be operated on in a month or two and then I’ll have to take a break from work until I recover. The doctor said I shouldn’t push myself too hard the next couple of weeks after the surgery and I’ll be fully recoverd at least 2 months after. As soon as I get the exact date of the surgery, I will let you know!
I hope it’ll answer some of the questions you may have. All in all, the development doesn’t stop and I’m doing my best to deliver you Episode 2 as soon as possible.
Stay healthy and I’ll see you in the next development update!
juracardan ok dev we get it your trying too promote your vn but nobody is gonna believe there are no dull or boring moments because there always are andnot everybody wants drama get enough of that shit irl don’t need or want it in a vn try harder next time
The video walkthrough is not accurate, because the different characters react positively to most choices. For example the the first choices that appear with Alexa are all positive but the walk-through is not specific about what choice will lead to what. Selecting the first option leads to an intimate talk with her and leads to a positive reaction.
This one needs a pdf or mod walkthrough.
New update?! You call that an update, a side “story” that lasts about 2 minutes… don’t bother downloading this until there is an ACTUAL UPDATE.
a gem of a game. a really promising start with top-notch visuals and animation, likable characters, drama that hits when least expecting, can’t say anything bad about it, not a dull moment in it. more people need to play this and support the dev if they can
Make the game an open world full of missions, races, cars, beauties, real estate, a realistic map, and a list of relationships.
Part 2???
Very promising game! Love the characters and renders look nice too.

Yeah I saw ‘underground racing scene’ and that’s an immediate no for me. Screw Fast & Furious and screw car culture.
this game is much more than the illegal car race theme. Races are really just the cherry on top
Begone, you car cultureless racist!!!
It was interesting, exiting but very short experience.
Actually, I wish at least semi-random race generator with near limitless race possibilities or -at least- veeeeeeery long list of possible races; plus to that, crap-load of buyable -muscle- cars and car upgrades (engine, chase, break, transmission, etc). And based on situation and car stats, proper-ish races choices (something like: you can’t win same even with same answer, you need to know your car and aware or your situation etc).
I don’t really care about adult part TBH, there are crapload of adult games already.
Now, If you excuse me, I’m gonna “romance” with my car. Thank you.
great game, interesting story and superb renders and animations!
Off to a good start. Be warned there’s not a ton of sex yet as this first chapter is mostly setup.
off to a very good start. not a ton of sex yet though so keep that in mind.
You may want to play it even withouth the sex scenes. Possibly a masterpiece.
Amazing game!
