TLS 0.18.0 Released

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

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.

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!

  2. Was I the only one, after all the buildup, disappointed by Aka's "Transformation." She only looked slightly different.

    1. There was a vote on Patreon, and sticking close to her original design got the plurality of votes.

    1. Even if you're speaking in jest, don't do that. The only one that anyone is likely to notice is that Varia has a new custom sprite.

    2. Yeah I was kidding don't worry. And it's not like playing through the game again would be a punishment anyway.

  5. Immediately after the big reunion, when Simon's back and everyone's happy to see him, if you go outside you can find a sex scene with Hilstara. She's outside, but it's written as if it were inside, in a hallway.

    1. As one of Hilstara's repeatable affection scenes, this one represents an aspect of their relationship as opposed to a specific scene. It is available in every home base area, but Hilstara won't always be standing in the area where it takes place.

  6. A thing I wanted to ask you an while now, what feature/improvement etc. would you wish for your game, besides pictures. The RPG Maker isn't able to do everything and of course there are enough other obstacles for many things.

    1. Interesting question, that's not one I've gotten before! Though there's no one overriding feature I've been thinking about, there are two shortcomings I wish I could improve:

      1) The RPG Maker engine is too limited to create my original vision for the combat system. I wanted characters and skills to trade lust points around in more interesting ways, but there are quite a few restrictions built into things.

      2) A proper framework to handle all the economic parts of the game would be nice, and will probably be more needed as the number of investments rises.

      Those are the ones that come to mind right now, anyway.

    1. The current description is only the second version over the entire course of the project, and it's probably nearing a year old by now. That's because there is pretty much never a time when I would rather be working on PR instead of game stuff.

      Having said that, it is an important component of the job. I've been reflecting that revamp might be necessary, but waiting on a number of things - the map in this post is one, but there are others in the pipeline.

      My problem is never wanting to overstate or overexplain. There are too many projects that promise the world or go into unnecessary detail about every system in the game, and my instinct is to try to avoid that. It's very difficult for me to talk up my own stuff. >.<
