TLS 0.22.4 Public Release

Download*: https://mega.nz/#!Oks0GbIT!AwQsDUgoJtb8tAfZdrI-3vevXC2bPN1BdCQ0PbsxH-Q

RTP: https://mega.nz/#!KkFgXLDR!jrn22wT7rfTiwSHk6gb0oN_P9HmCrY5G4Entjv2Yz2E

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

NOTICE: If you are importing a save from the version 0.20.x waiting room, do not skip straight to this version! Improvements in between versions will make this not work. In order to keep your save valid, first use the version linked below, advance and save, then continue to the newest version:
Version 0.21.2https://mega.nz/#!L9tgGC7L!qcZfgWnrvu5lU8ruuITpZM34LeBuJDvBwUtAG41xrpA

Version 0.22.0
 - New iteration of Ari-Yhilina! New quests and conversations, plus new chances to access content that was blocked for your save before this point.
 - Three new sex scenes.
 - Reworked system for Robin's research. Nothing has changed for old saves, but it'll be better for managing the expanded choices you might be getting soon.
 - Multiple sidequests weren't being marked finished or failed at the appropriate times; I believe I have this mostly straightened out. The quest journal in new saves should be clean. 
 - Full screen mode now available! Press F5 to try it out.
 - Due to popular demand, there is now an event in the waiting room that will let you check everyone's relationship points.
Version 0.22.4:
 - Bugfixes and polishing
 - Clarification of various investments
 - Minor affection changes

Public release, here we go! This release includes both the unique events for this visit to Yhilin as well as a whole bunch of content that your save may or may not have unlocked which covers the entire chapter. This should speed up the updates for all future trips to Yhilin!

I will be working through the holiday season on the next version of TLS. So happy holidays, everyone, see you in 2017! ^-^

TLS 0.22.0 Released!

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

Version 0.22.0
 - New iteration of Ari-Yhilina! New quests and conversations, plus new chances to access content that was blocked for your save before this point.
 - Three new sex scenes.
 - Reworked system for Robin's research. Nothing has changed for old saves, but it'll be better for managing the expanded choices you might be getting soon.
 - Multiple sidequests weren't being marked finished or failed at the appropriate times; I believe I have this mostly straightened out. The quest journal in new saves should be clean. 
 - Full screen mode now available! Press F5 to try it out.
 - Due to popular demand, there is now an event in the waiting room that will let you check everyone's relationship points.

Compared to the average update, a lot more of the content this time is potentially locked away. That's because this time I tried to do the majority of all future Yhilin updates. There will still be unique events, like the Church quest this time, but hopefully in the future I won't need to spend an entire update cycle on Yhilin, it will just be included with another update.

One of the major pieces of that is the discretionary budget stuff. Though they might not be unlocked for your save, every possible investment for chapter three is now available. By the end of the chapter you'll be able to afford many... but not all, of course. ^-^

Public release will be coming in a week, like usual. Until then, if you didn't already see it on Patreon, enjoy this fanart a backer commissioned of Simon and Yarra!

TLS 0.21.0 Released!

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

Version 0.21.0
 - New section of the game, finishing the elven section of the plot.
 - Four new plot sex scenes.
 - Six new affection sex scenes.

I'm still pretty busy with the commercial release of Ouroboros (the free version is still available!). This is also a larger-than-average release with more moving parts, so I'm budgeting extra time for bugfixes. Therefore, I'm planning to have this release available publicly on November 18.

That's all for now, I'm headed straight back to work! I hope to wrap up Ouroboros and be providing more updates for TLS very soon. ^-^

Ouroboros 2.0 Released!

If you haven't been following news on Patreon, get ready for some updates! For a start, the expanded version of Ouroboros has now been released! This will be its new home page, with links updated in the future, but for now it's available in two places:
http://www.nutaku.net/games/download/ouroboros/
http://www.mangagamer.com/detail.php?goods_type=1&product_code=1000

The new version of Ouroboros features the following:
 - Hentai art for all scenes!
 - In addition to the original six scenes, there are six brand new scenes, plus some new variants.
 - Three new post-awakening dungeons.
 - Special cycles: let Amiel, Teira, and Emantha take over for one cycle and fulfill their fantasies.
 - Lots of new conversations and interactions between the characters.
 - Key to increase battle speed 300%.

I hope everyone enjoys it! ^-^

Meanwhile, to catch up people regarding TLS: a fairly large update that finishes the elven section of the plot is 95% done, but stalled due to my parallax mapper flaking out on me. I have been poking them and investigating alternatives, so I hope to get this moving along before too long passes. Expect more updates soon!

TLS 0.20.2 Public Release

RTP: https://mega.nz/#!H9tFEBoI!q_o66so-JOKWh5xZX86lTePV-N-RtzD3CVSTdQFnOnw

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

Version 0.20.0
 - New section of the game.
 - One new sex scene.
 - Aka's Deathblow skill is fixed.
 - I commissioned a bust image for Aka's new version, now found in the harem menu.
 - In addition to the above fix, there are now more entries in the harem menu.
Version 0.20.1
 - Parallax map reworked because some players were experiencing lag.
 - Miscellaneous bugs and typos.
Version 0.20.2
 - Mostly very minor things, but changed Queen Dheria's sprite.

Special thanks to Decanter for helping with code on multiple things, they wouldn't have gotten done without him (also for the new Dheria sprite).

Harem Additions: I have fleshed out the harem menu, since the number of slots remaining has been a common source of confusion. While this is not the 100% final list, this covers all the important characters through the end of the game. Do not take the percentage completion to be the percentage of the game, however: a large number of the unknown entries on the list are characters you already know well.

I would like to remind everyone that I am still dealing with personal issues as I mentioned here. I wrapped up everything I was working on to put out a short update, which I hope will be taken as a sign of my commitment, but I will need to take some personal time before the next release.

That's all I have to say for now. Expect some of the other minor releases I referenced over the coming while, then eventually a large update that finishes this arc of the plot.

Release Plans

Many of you know this, but I wanted to provide an official update for those who don't: I am currently recovering from the death of a close family member. It was a sudden accident that happened several weeks ago as of this post, and as you would expect, it has impacted my ability to work.

Having said that, I'm making this post because I have kept working when I am able, and I can now announce a general time for my next release: next weekend, if all goes well. Once version 0.20.x is released, I will take a short amount of time away from the game completely, then I will work on making 0.21.0 the best update I can (it will be a big one, completely resolving the current subplots).

I have a few things to keep you occupied during the delay:

1) I have made a recent Patreon post public, so check it out for answers to top patron questions, including a sneak preview of some of the new art for Ouroboros 2.0:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/august-7-update-6491561

2) I recently finished my longest-running piece of erotica, a ridiculous superhero story entitled Superman Fucks Gotham, after posting monthly updates for nearly two years. You can read it at Literotica or Archive of Your Own.

3) The final DLC update to Noxian Nights will be coming out in time. If you haven't played it, the main story is already complete, so now's a good time to give it a try. Those of you who wanted more tentacle sex in TLS will be happy with the upcoming update.

4) I'm not quite finished with it yet, but after I've secured TLS and NN releases, I'll put putting out one last bugfix for Ouroboros (this link will be updated later). No new content, but the memory leak is fixed, so if you couldn't or haven't played before, now might be a good time to check it out. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, for a short game.

Beyond the general dates listed here, I can't make any promises about future progress. I want to work, I generally find it healing, but I have some serious things to work through.

I will work my hardest to make sure that this next pair of updates is up to the usual standard. After that I will take some time alone, but then I will be back to produce more content. This is what I want to spend my life doing, after all, I just won't be able to continue at 100% right away.

TLS 0.18.3

Download*: https://mega.nz/#!ThsQ0IZb!L4vPfVxcQw3V1yFkP-XD9ygiu9b97xiftPg0K5YfBl0
RTP: https://mega.nz/#!GxcTzKAI!bgPMGnJuenAyqWrVnsBmxpgIav3ugvlU3bmNPNAuCVU

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

Okay, this is the official version of the Battle of Yhilin. There have been some mistakes corrected in the mechanics as well as some rebalancing, so if you want your save file to be completely "correct" you could use this version. Having said that, the differences are fairly minor. If you have a save from 0.18.2 or corrected from 0.18.1, it'll be just fine going forward. Just wanted to have the public-facing version be the finalized version.

Posting this doesn't mean I've been spending all this time working on the previous version! There's plenty done on version 0.19.0, which is shaping up to be a pretty broad update. It won't be as big as the double Stineford or Ardford updates, but it'll have quite a few sidequests.

Duplicating bugfixes on the two versions has been a little tedious, though. If/when I create another update this complex, I will probably need to think of a better way to keep up as much momentum as possible. Anyway, see you next version!

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

Version 0.18.0
 - New section of the game covering the invasion of Yhilin.
 - Two new plot sex scenes.
 - Some new custom sprites and graphics in previous sections.
Version 0.18.2
 - Various fixes to the mechanics of collateral damage, chaos, and attrition.
 - Assorted polishing.
 - Bugfix event added to waiting room to make saves from 0.18.1 or 0.18.0 valid for future releases.

This is a dense one, I hope everyone will enjoy how the battle plays out in response to their choices so far. Next update will continue with the invasion and consequences, this time with a less focused release pursuing various sidequests. See you then!

I'm back! This is a big, complex section of the story that will finally bring the Doomed King plot to the fore. It should be released publicly in a week, so see you then!

Finally, though I leave most screenshots for the threads, I didn't want anyone checking the blog to miss a fun new development patrons got to see a little while ago: the first official map for TLS. This covers the continent of Arclent:

Expect more maps in the future! But in the nearer future, expect the public release of this update in about a week - see you then!

Not a lot more to say, I just hope people enjoy it. I hope the next TLS update will be out in about a week!

EDIT: There is a new version of the game uploaded - notably, this version includes a prologue that didn't exist in any previous version of the game. The people who were kind enough to give this game a try were consistent in saying that the game didn't give away its true nature fast enough. Accordingly, I have changed the synopsis and added the prologue, which I hope will interest the people who would actually like this game.

EDIT II: Links updated to version 1.1.7.

EDIT III: Ouroboros 2.0 can now be found here. It contains full art for all sex scenes and about twice the content of the first version!

April 2016 Report

This post is coming mid-May because I wanted to make a single report post instead of spreading out the information over time. I'll update this with some more links as a few final things are completed. Hopefully that will be a good way of organizing it in the long term.

Anyway, you're probably wondering what I did during my break month. Other than resting and relaxing, I worked on a variety of side projects:

1) Ouroboros - A complete game I teased here. It has already been released to patrons and you can expect a public version on May 20.

2) Futa High - I finished a chunk of a futanari visual novel type game. Patrons will get to play it soon, but I won't be releasing it publicly since it's unfinished. It will probably be a long time before I get back to this, but if there's interest, I will eventually.

3) TLS Prologue Story - A glimpse of Simon during the war against the Incubus King. It's been released to patrons, more word on the public release here later.

4) Hreinn Games Hype Story - I also wrote a random piece inspired by the game we'll be making after Noxian Nights. Not exactly the same, but inspired by the same tropes. Look forward to a free public release closer to the launch of that game.

Anyway, all that aside, you're probably wondering about progress on TLS 0.18.0. I can't say exactly how long it will take to finish, but it has been getting my full attention for a while now and I'm hoping for release at the end of the month. See you soon!

Ouroboros Preview

I'm happy to announce the side game I created while I was on my break! Patrons got a full report of some of the other work I did, and you'll be getting a schedule of releases in a few days, but for now I wanted to spotlight one of the things I've finished as proof that I haven't just been goofing off. =P

Ouroboros

Ouroboros presents a bright, cheerful world in which something is horrifyingly wrong. The hero has a princess to save and a quest set before him, but there are unsettling signs that all this has happened before. As you play the game, you'll come to realize that the dungeons and monsters are meaningless distractions from the task of uncovering the truth.


Ouroboros is an action-adventure with RPG elements. As you can see in the above screenshot, you have the ability to jump, for example. You may also note that this one was made in MV; while I will keep my current projects in VX Ace, I did want to play around with the new version. Though it doesn't have a rich set of resources yet, it does have some fun possibilities:


I've included a variety of features in an effort to make the game feel different from the usual RPG. As much as I love the genre, I get a lot of it between The Last Sovereign and Noxian Nights. This side project was an effort to make a different flavor, and hopefully you guys will find it refreshing as well.


The combat system is grind-free: there aren't any levels at all, your strength comes primarily from your equipment and tactical choices. Though you can't see it in that screenshot, you have the ability to change your equipment at any time in combat. You can see MV's new side battle mode, which is a nice change of scenery.


Of course, the game has plenty of adult content as well. ^-^ Throughout the game you'll find six different sex scenes, and I may expand that number later.

I'll give a full schedule at the official end of the break month, but this game will be released the usual way: patrons will get to play it first, then I'll release it publicly. But while I'm doing that, I'll be diving back into TLS - while I was glad to take a break, I really found myself missing it. See you soon with more updates!

TLS 0.17.4 + Important Updates

Hey all, one more patch on this version. Almost entirely more polishing, plus some musical fixes for things that were above my pay grade (thanks, Lamsey!). So no need to replay if you've already finished, but if you're starting fresh, definitely use the new links in the previous post (discussion of this update can stay there too).

Now, with that released, it's time for some news. As I've hinted over the past while, I am running low on energy. I have a plan for dealing with it, and now is the time to announce it publicly.

What I want is not a total break, but a change of pace. I've been working on the same set of projects for months now, after all, and I think my brain needs some variety.

So I plan to take the next month to work on a mix of different projects. A short story set in the world of TLS is very likely, for example, and I might try to make a short, self-contained game. At the end of that time, I will give backers everything I create.

Then after that I will dive right back into TLS with renewed energy. I wanted to get this update out and fully polished first, both to finish the chapter and as a show of my commitment to the project.

Here's one bit of good news for anyone disappointed: the month doesn't start with this post. I may be getting 0.17.4 out now, but I haven't been working on it full time for the past several days. So I'm counting starting April 3rd, meaning I'll resume TLS work on May 3rd at the latest. NN development will be unaffected (it's just coincidence that the double update there is at the same time).

Also, since I don't want to have a month of radio silence, you'll get a full update from me here before the end of the month. I will report on new projects I've started/finished so you have a clear idea what's been done and what's to come. Backers will get weekly updates on Patreon as usual, of course.

I think this could be good for everyone. I get to change my routine up and you guys get some completed pieces of content. Though I can't say how much I'll accomplish during my break, I hope to have at least a few fun things to show everyone at the end of it. ^-^

Version 0.17.3 Public Release

Download*: https://mega.nz/#!LkEyEZRS!1yr3VknzQ91GdrPW5bszjayQiFXb5UKmhyT4V-0XpxM
RTP: https://mega.nz/#!HxNDWCyC!XpRzH4tI3GNt1St6odf8ev0rEs6bMOZcMSUTpLJ6VgU

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

Version 0.17.0
 - All events in Ardford are finished, as is the second chapter!
 - Three new plot sex scenes.
 - Various minor changes throughout.
Version 0.17.3
 - Over 30 new musical tracks added.*
 - Over 50 new battlers added.
 - Several new debuff/state-related scripts: expiration is standardized and you can see the exact number of turns remaining. (Thanks, Decanter!)
 - A few more tweaks to the Hidden Port.
Version 0.17.4 (added to this post 4/6)
 - More polishing.

*Note for imported saves: your background music may not update until you re-enter an area.

Looking above, you can see part of why this release took so long. With the completion of the second chapter, I wanted to take some of the secondary aspects of the game up a notch. Almost all default RPG Maker resources have been replaced, in favor of new materials found from more obscure sites, commissioned, or provided by kind and talented fans.

It took longer to make all this work properly than I expected. Even aside from tweaking so many different choices so they all felt appropriate, RPG Maker has issue with certain formats that are a pain to work with - and unlike many aspects of the engine, I was learning from scratch on most of this.

Regardless, what I have for you now is a new version with a lot of polished new content. Aside from reworked previous sections, you can now complete Ardford, the summit, and the entire second chapter!

Stay tuned for more information next week and have fun. ^-^

Version 0.17.0 Released

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

Version 0.17.0
 - All events in Ardford are finished, as is the second chapter!
 - Three new plot sex scenes.
 - Various minor changes throughout.

The schedule over the coming period may be a little different. While this update includes all the game content that I wanted, it doesn't have the custom music or battlers I plan to include. I hope to add those in for an additional backer update. That means that the 0.17.2 public update might be a little later, though I still hope have it out on March 25 according to the usual schedule.

Regardless, I won't be able to start working on version 0.18.0 immediately due to this update's extended development time. I will say more about this and some other scheduling issues later, but for now I'm focusing on the game.

Meanwhile, if you want a preview of this update, check your forum of choice for some screenshots.

EDIT: Sorry, it won't be today. There's no problem with the new story content, but the custom music and battlers I added require more polishing to reach the level I try to set for myself. Once I'm satisfied that I haven't added any new problems with my improvements, everyone will get 0.17.2. I have some hope it won't be too long.

BKG Mirror**: N/A
Kimochi Mirror***: N/A

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

Version 0.16.0
 - New city, stage is set for the Ardford Summit.
 - Two new plot sex scenes.
 - Three conversations added to Janine's Retreat based on patron suggestions (no gameplay changes).
 - ProN now shows up in the menu (thanks Decanter!).
 - Simon's new armor has a darker color palette (thanks Scrambler!).

REMINDER: The vote on Patreon was to split Ardford into two updates, the same way Stineford was done. So this update you're getting the entire city and most of the investments, but there will be more sidequests and a ton of plot in the next one. Just bear this in mind, skip the update or bear it in mind based on your preferences.

**NoMoshing says he feels like the need for mirroring has lessened, so he won't be mirroring other games once he redesigns his site. Thanks to him for providing a mirror for so many months!

***In case you haven't heard, Kimochi is shutting down permanently. This is presumably why they didn't answer my emails about getting TLS updated on their client, so that's the situation.

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

Version 0.15.0:
 - Reunion chapter of the game.
 - Four new plot sex scenes, three new affection sex scenes.
 - Scene replay system is now complete!
 - See here for full list of changes.
Version 0.15.2
 - Misc fixes for bugs caused by the back end changes.

This release period was mostly spent on back end stuff - the scene replay system in particular was a lot of work. I hope that as well as some oft-requested features (autodash and text skip) will make this a satisfying release.

Having said that, I didn't want to put out a release without some story content! You're going to get to see the reunion of all the characters this time, including some long-awaited meetings and sex scenes. There's also the first full reckoning of your investments, for those of you interested in that. This chapter will set the stage for some huge events in Ardoheim, so look forward to that next month!

Version 0.15.0 Changelog

This is another release + revamp, though not as major as 0.8.0. Here is the full list of changes.

First, I want to take a moment to thank all the people who helped make this update possible:
 - Lone Wolf, without whom the replay system and most other custom coding would never have gotten finished.
 - RCP, for producing a huge number of custom sprites and animations.
 - Decanter, for solving the Support Slaves problem and noticing a lot of things I missed.
 - Scrambler, both for his sprites and for his patience in waiting for them to be used at the right time.
 - Nomo, for fixing graphical problems I have nowhere near the skill to do myself.

New features:
 - Reunion chapter of the game.
 - Four new plot sex scenes, three new affection sex scenes.
 - Auto-dash. By default, you dash normally and walk with Shift, but you can switch it back to the original way in the...
 - New options menu: control sound, screen color, text speed, and battle animations.
 - Text skipping: press Ctrl to start skipping. Combined with text speed above, this can either progress dialogue steadily or fly through it.
 - New save system (number of saves supported increased substantially). Old saves will not display correctly until resaved in the new version.

Changes to previous sections:
 - Party members now show relationship points early on in Feroholm for the sake of consistency.
 - Clocks on Simon's route now display your exact day number.
 - Small stairs on Simon's route now clearly indicate whether they go up or down a floor.

Balance changes:
 - Support Slaves now works as planned. It also gives the option to be named differently; players who have already obtained the skill can rename it if they use a save from the 0.14.x ending screen.
 - Suppress Lust and Lust Renewal have been entirely rebalanced to better fall in line with the plot.
 - TP gain has been standardized, removing several oversights.

Sex sprites:
 - 24 new sex sprites added, bringing the total up to 39.
 - There is now sprite sex in camp during the free roaming section in Chapter 2.
 - The lovers in the Withered Fortress now have a sex animation.
 - Aka's route now has a custom animation if you approach the Doomed King armor again.
 - The Crimson Bordello trainers on Simon's route now have animations.
 - All harem members have sprite sex on the bed in the new area.

Cosmetic changes:
 - Altina's placeholder sprites have been replaced with custom sprites.
 - New nude sprite for Yarra.
 - Large music files replaced with much smaller formats.
 - Fixes to Yarra's faces for art style consistency.
