I put links above as usual, but you may want consider playing the Steam version this time due to all the new achievements! Trading cards and other Steam items have been activated as well.

In non-Steam news, please check out all the new attack animations! I put a ton of work into this, trying to make the game more visually striking throughout. There's also quite a bit of visual polishing above, taking the game increasingly close to the final release. ^-^

Happy Valentine's Day, I guess?

TLS 0.78.0 Released!

New update for supporters on Patreon or SubscribeStarVersion history updated, you know what to do, etc.


TLS 0.78.0

 - All 169 achievements for Steam are now added and active.

 - Over a hundred new attack animations added and thousands of changes made to the enemy database. Few balance changes, just an overhaul of the visuals.

 - New sprites for certain characters: Aka, Robin, Uyae, Grynyth, Bertricia, Fheliel, Sarai, Tertia, Varia, Wendis. All sex animations have been updated to match.

 - New battlers added: Mestan and Lilith.

 - Sequence of new map images added to the intro.

 - A significant number of busts thanks to Lamsey, culminating in the full Ardford council. I believe we have now changed all the major characters we plan to change.

 - The custom LUK script has been modified yet again, this time hopefully insuring that enemies don't get any extra critical hit chance.

 - Orilise now comments on the library completion throughout the game. She also activates the library achievement.


Unusual update this time. Aside from numerous assorted things I've been working on in the background, the focus is on all the Steam stuff (trading cards and achivements) and the attack animations. Just another step in polishing up the game before the final release.

The main purpose of this update is the public Steam version, so it should only be a week barring some major problem.

Update: Waiting on Valve

Just popping in to let non-patrons know about the current situation. I have been steadily working away at the next build of TLS, but this one involves more than just my usual tasks: I intend to wrap up all extant Steam issues with this one. Unfortunately that means things aren't entirely up to me.

One major task that has been completed has been giving TLS achievements, actually 169 of them. You can see the full list on Steam already, though they can't all be unlocked yet. Setting up and testing all of these was a ton of work!

I also discovered that, contrary to my previous expectation, TLS has become eligible for Steam trading cards. Most free games can't get cards, and I figured a NSFW one wouldn't be allowed, but that seems to have changed. However, that means more hoops I need to jump through, then the trading card people at Valve are always sticklers for details (as well as slow to respond). This is the current roadblock to release.

In the meantime, I am grinding away at various improvements to the game. This includes yet more enhancements to the prologue as well as some game-wide balance changes and another upgrade to the visuals. Basically, I'm just keeping myself busy with the list of secondary tasks while I try to keep the other wheels turning.

This upcoming update will not be a major one for new content, but you'll have to be patient, as doing all of this polishing is important before the big 1.0.0 release. That will be the largest number of eyes on the game since the initial release, so I want TLS looking its best. ^-^

TLS 0.77.2 Public Release

New update is public!

Download*: https://mega.nz/file/DtEBRDyS#MV2azzNmeC7o7YP1xqOK_wI0Ol9ykaJ5Hzv8c9eO4a0
Mirror*: https://www.mediafire.com/file/58hn3lr1hm9610v/TLS+0.77.2.exe/file
RTP: https://mega.nz/file/XpF2TIZZ#qH7_WStWRKSqLpaBpTrZ3N8ROBLqBzpsF9PTa5d6na0

*Requires RPG Maker VX Ace RTP to be installed. If you don't know what that means, use the RTP link.

The big thing I'm concerned about personally is the achievements, which should cause no trouble for players here but appear on the Steam version. If all goes well, in the next update I will add all the achievements for the whole game, taking us one step closer to being ready for the 1.0.0 release.

For you guys, though, the content you'll care about is the epilogue. You should be able to pick up from the final battle or the waiting room, but either way, this is a little coda to the game that I hope you will enjoy. It's one more romp with the characters, tying off some loose ends and bringing things full circle. ^-^

After this comes polishing, QoL, and feature improvement updates, eventually leading up to the completed postgame and release. Please look forward to it!

TLS 0.77.0 - Ten years of TLS!

On November 22, 2014, I publicly released the first version of TLS, featuring the prologue. Now, exactly ten years later, I am posting the epilogue. So, as always...

New update for supporters on Patreon or SubscribeStarVersion history updated, you know what to do, etc.


TLS 0.77.0

 - Epilogue section of the game added.

 - SFW mode now also censors sprites and portraits, thanks to Grim8P, Annikath, and Rachnera.

 - New option for faster boss collapse animation, thanks to Lamsey.

 - New illustrated scenes: Aka + Uyae, Dari's Changed  Body, Dari's New Body, Nalili x Fenima

This update is nothing massive or elaborate, just the capstone for the main plot and one last romp with all the characters. ^-^ While it will almost certainly be polished within a week, the timing is bad for me, so I'm going to have to post this publicly in December instead. But hopefully when I do I will have figured out some additional features.
