TLS 0.25.0 Released!

New update for patrons! Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.

Version 0.25.0
 - New iteration of Yhilin.
 - Four new plot sex scenes.
 - Three new affection sex scenes.

Version 0.25.0 of the game is another return to Yhilin, and I hope this will be a satisfying one. Some things that have been promised for a very long time will finally happen this update, but I'll let you see those for yourself.

This update will be released publicly in two weeks - please note the difference from the usual schedule. The reason is that next week there will be a second Patreon update featuring some code fixes and a new feature. More about this in a later post, I think it will be a fun addition.

    1. Yhilin is the country you conquer, Ardoheim is where the game starts. You'll get a chance to return to the magical school before too terribly long, actually!

    3. Sierra is saying that the game will return to the magical school soon, in a future update :-)

  2. Yhilin is the country that we had conquered. You're thinking about Ardoheim, concretely the Stineford region. You should check the Countries page in the wiki, if you're interested...

  3. Question: how compatible are saves from previous versions with newer versions? I don't want to have to play through the whole game again if I can avoid it.

    1. Generally, you can just copy the save files into the new version's folder, and it works fine. It's usually best to have a save file just before the last map, in case you want to go back and take advantage of any changes in new versions.

    2. That's correct, and I really appreciate you answering some of these questions that come up repeatedly. Not to impinge on your good will, but perhaps you'd be interested in taking a look at some audio issues referenced here?

      Posts #692 and #698, specifically. I don't know if it's possible we added auditory artifacts in some of our improvements, or they could be from the original tracks. I'm not much of a music person, so I'd greatly appreciate it if you could take a listen and let me know if these are things we should worry about fixing.

    3. Hmm, strange. I can't reproduce it on my end. I've created an account on UMLF to talk to the reporter, but it seems I'll need to wait for a mod to activate me. Sierra, do you have a copy of the original tracks, or a link to them? If you want to go via email, it's: lamsey@gmail.com

  5. I just started playing um is it normal even thought I killed the spider the small one on the infested it can still launch poison.

    1. I assume you're talking about the infested house in Stineford. The smaller-looking spiders are fast and hit hard, while the bigger spiders can poison one or more of your party members (tip: Simon can stop them from doing that with his Silencing Strike).

      Once poisoned, a character will stay poisoned until they drink an Antidote or Serum potion, or a curing spell is cast (e.g. Qum's Cleansing Wink, or Simon's Battlefield Medicine), or they rest by sleeping in a bed.

      Hopefully the above answers your question; if not, can you be more specific?

  6. I guess I post here as well. My question is, why can't Uyae equip Crusader Plate when Carina and reshaped Varia can? Also, why, since Crusader Plate is heavy armor, can Carina and Varia equip it in the first place? Shouldn't just Hilstara be able to equip Crusader Plate? If not, shouldn't also Uyae be able to equip it? I found this out in 0.24, so it's possible, that this has been fixed in the latest patch, but I doubt it.

    1. My question is, why can't Uyae equip Crusader Plate when Carina and reshaped Varia can? Also, why, since Crusader Plate is heavy armor, can Carina and Varia equip it in the first place?

      The first thing to bear in mind is that the distinction between Heavy and Light gear (Armor, Helms, Shields) it was posted in the wiki to help the players and I just don't know if Sierra uses the same references as we do. I think that it's a good system but that doesn't mean that Sierra can't add exceptions as she see fit.

      Having said that, the simple answer is that neither Carina or reshaped Varia should be able to equip it, if we considering it Heavy Armor (as we do in the wiki). In the case of Carina, there could be a lore reason that explains that exception seeing that Carina is/was a member of Inquisition. It makes a certain kind of sense, that she was able to use Crusader gear. But for the life of me I can't fathom a reason of why Simon's reshape would give Varia a connection with the Church, even indirect. So in that sense, it's a sort of relief that we don't have that anomaly with Uyae too ;-) .

      In the case of Simon and Nalili, there could be lore reasons that could justify their inability to use it: in Simon's case the Soul Shard and in Nalili's the race, but Varia is the piece that doesn't fit.

      I hope that Sierra can tell us more, because yours it's a great question...

    2. I don't believe Varia can equip Crusader Plate? So basically, it comes down to Carina getting an exception because her training with the Church's special equipment lets her wear heavier armor than usual.

    3. "I don't believe Varia can equip Crusader Plate?" - Well, I have dominated Varia, so I took my info from the wiki page... Apparently, it's wrong. I mean, if it's intended, then I have no problem with that (I mean really, if Varia can't use that, your logic makes sense).

    4. Sorry for the confusion Firebender. The page has been corrected.

      Thank you Sierra for solving the doubt.

  7. A new feature on top of a Yhilin update! *over the top anime reaction* I can hardly wait. Thankfully I have the new Zelda to pass the time, otherwise it would be agonizing. That or I can just play TLS for the umpteenth time. :P

  8. Hi sierra are you still thinking on adding images to the text Game? Why didnt you worked with the same guy from noxian's nights?Do you have a date for adding the images? And which episode are we? I haven't played in a long time. I am impatient.

    1. Nomo and I are working on a new game after Noxian Nights, so he's not available to do all the art for TLS as well. Unfortunately, until I find an available artist who seems appropriate, I can't give a date for adding images.

      Episode? This is the 25th content release, if that's what you mean.

      Delete
    2. I mean, the game itself has like episodes or something like that. Which one is the last chapter and how many are you going yo do?

      Delete
    3. If you mean chapters, 0.25.0 is still part of Chapter Three, though we're getting near the end of it. I'm not saying how many total just yet, but we're past 50%.
