This update caps off a lot of things in the game! These are the last combat challenges, you can get the final harem member, and most importantly finish the base library. I also hope this update will fix the stability issues, once it goes public.
That should be in a week, unless there's an unusual amount of trouble with the combat balance.
Yay! Sounds amazing! I'm looking forward to it and I hope you're doing well! ♥ 💕
ReplyDeleteWelp, I'm gonna be busy next week, since I have 2 updates worth of gameply to go through in one session ^^
ReplyDeleteThe report will take time to arrive, but I'm sure you'll wait it impatiently !!!
See you soon ^^
Oh, question, will this new harem member be retroactively be added to the other harem quests ?
DeleteNot really? They don't have a harem quest of their own (the optional dungeon is their quest) and it's not like they pop up commenting everywhere.
DeleteEeeeh, shame, retroactive harem members were quite fun to hunt down. I was wondering if they could appear in Yarra quest as a plinth ^^
DeleteHah, this piece of news came exactly after 4 hours after I finished everything I can before the final battle. Well, I guess, I'll wait a week or two before taking on final battle then
ReplyDeleteI've been urging people not to, but now we're so close, it doesn't hurt!
DeleteAmazing <3
ReplyDeleteOn the forum, It stated that having 300k Sx and 10kk ProN triggers anticheat currently. Does it mean that if players converted big volumes of ProN to Sx through Stineford Bank or went through optimized path and then skip all investments in one of the later investment rounds, they risk being hit by anticheat system?
ReplyDeleteYes, conceivably. The ProN value was chosen because even with maximum returns, you shouldn't have over ten million/cycle, so it won't accidentally catch players who just got their last return. The Sx value was chosen because it's higher than someone's total if they got 100% of all Sx in the game and never spent anything. Hopefully neither would be triggered in normal play.
DeleteI see. I'm curios what prompted you to implement this system. TLS is purely single-player game (even without some kind of board score) so does it really matter if some players want to cheat? It's their conscious choice how to play a game and if they determined to cheat, they will cheat anyway.
DeleteNot to criticize, but what benefit is there to spend time and efforts and potentialy make problems for other players just to make life for cheaters slightly harder?
It's a valid criticism or philosophy of game design. In theory, I have no problem with people playing the way they want, which is why a game that could include much more complex anti-cheat methods has only a few minor checks.
DeleteHowever, in practice over the past ten years of development, I've found that people who cheat do have an effect outside themselves. I've spent a lot of time trying to find bug reports that were caused by people cheating, or players have broken the game's logic and then gone around making public posts about how the game is inconsistent. Some people also seem surprisingly comfortable cheating and then giving advice about the game's balance that actually misleads other players.
To be clear, I think the majority of TLS cheaters just add a little ProN; I have no problem with them and they also won't be affected by the check. A game is basically a series of limitations, rules that I have put a great deal of work into crafting. The final harem member was meant to be a reward for those who have engaged with those rules and limitations. She isn't beyond the reach of cheaters, but they will also have to engage with the game a bit, albeit in a different way.
Ok, got it, thank you. Also, I misunderstood.) Forum post isn't clear on when exactly anticheat check happens and I thought that it's system for the whole game, not just optional dungeon check.
