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.
Special thanks to Decanter for helping with code on multiple things, they wouldn't have gotten done without him.
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.
This update should be released publicly in a week, assuming all goes well.

Whooo! The Harem Menu wasn't complete eh? That's badass. I'll really enjoy looking through to see the exact number that there are and then thinking of who they might be. I have a stinking suspicion about that guard Captain at the Dwarven Kingdom! She's too well made otherwise, visually. Also on the blue haired succubus I can't remember who is the INCUBUS EMPEROR's main servant. I have very few suspicions beyond that, however. If there are more than that(Aside from the obvious Sarai and Robin and Janine and Riala of course!) then you have done a wonderful job of keeping us guessing. Here's hoping Dari gets Un-Unwomaned eventually. I think Blue-monster-Dari is incredibly cute, even if human-illusion-Dari is actually kind of creepy looking.
ReplyDeleteWell, the number isn't exact (I haven't decided exactly how I want to play some minor subplots), but the new harem menu will indeed give you a clear idea of the overall shape of things.
DeleteNo comment on all your speculation. ^-^ But I'm wondering if you meant the opposite about Dari's appearances - though if you did mean it that way, good for you!
No I meant what I put. I know that it's more likely you'll make her fully human, assuming she joined the Harem, but I think it would be neat to have a choice that leaves her with her fangs and scary smile.
DeleteThis probably doesn't constitute a spoiler since it's not asking about anything specific, but it might-- Will there be any more entirely optional Harem members like Altina? I really like the fact that she's missable. Although I've gotten her on almost every playthrough.
Good, then, I like her green appearance too.
DeleteI do plan for there to be more entirely optional members, yes. Altina was introduced early on to suggest that this can happen, but the rest will be a little later in the plot.
Thank you. Knowing that you like her as she is gives me a little bit of hope.
DeleteSweet! The knowledge is enough for now.
Dari is cute and funny, but I don't really see her entering the harem properly. Her genitals are a hot mess that caused projectile vomiting on first viewing.
ReplyDeleteI suppose she could be the Token Chaste Member, once Robin hands in her card.
-- Guile
If they can find a way to return her sexuality to her soul, like they had hinted at, I'm sure they can heal her nethers somehow.
DeleteI'm not really looking forward to Human Dari though so I was hoping for a choice that's like, return her sexuality or return her emotions, and if you return her sexuality she stays all blue and cute and angry for no reason, but if you return her emotions she becomes human but can't really enjoy sex for anything but the pleasure; It feels good but she doesn't really get horny.
Either way they heal her between the legs though. I feel like the Token Chaste Member of the next chapter will be Prisoner 001. Ginasta. At least until we get out of the negatives, and possibly until we get pretty high up on her RP total.
I just wanted to ask... did Simon directly see his wife die or was she captured and assumed dead?
ReplyDeleteA character will eventually ask this question and get a more detailed answer, but: yes, he saw it with his own eyes.
DeleteConcerning the Optional members; are we going to have to make a choice between getting one or the other of them or do you plan on having it being entirely possible to get 100%?
ReplyDeleteIt will definitely be possible to get 100% on the harem menu.
DeleteCould some be generous and share their save file :)?
ReplyDeleteHey, sorry you haven't gotten a response yet! You might have better luck asking at the TLS wiki or on one of the bigger forums.
DeleteI tried to post a saved game for someone on LOK once, but got the error "The extension rvdata2 is not allowed" So I'm not sure how to share save files other then straight email or a share drive, unless someone else has a suggestion.
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend uploading to another site; I use Mega and Mediafire.
DeleteHow do you feel about giving a New Game +
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for one at the end of the game, once it's over, too. Return to the beginning with ProN, Sx, and Levels(Simon only?) and then be able to buy all the extra stuff you couldn't on the first run through. Although I think Sierra's Anti-Cheating events make that improbable since she has already implemented a treasure chest where you get nothing if you are too high level or have too much money.
DeleteShe probably won't want to go back and edit all the things she might make do that, or force the Hilstara and Robin events since you shouldn't be able to leave without getting them but you could if you had enough ProN presumably, and the event that triples your ProN way early on.
And I don't think a New Game + mode for when you get a game over would be a good idea since it's a reward for failure.
However, I really just piggybacked your comment so I'd get an email when Sierra replies to you, assuming she does. I totally want to know to, even though I never thought about it until now. Even though I'm writing a Fanfiction about it, that is literally called 'New Sovereign+.'
Adding a New Game + mode would not be a trivial addition to the game. It's not as simple as setting the player back to the start, though I believe there are scripts that can handle that. Even in that case, it would require reworking the events that are based on ProN (as Morgan Fae said). There's also the issue of events you weren't meant to invest in, like the mine on your first visit - either it still isn't allowed (which wouldn't feel very NG+) or I have to create an entirely new chain of events where it's possible to own the mine.
DeleteI'm not completely opposed to the idea of NG+, but right now I don't feel like I have a compelling reason to include it.
Yeah. I had never thought of it before and this is the first time I think it's been brought up anyways so you can tell its' not really an important missing thing.
Deleteor it could ultimately solve an an issue without drastically effecting storyline or the need for adding large amounts of new side content.
ReplyDeletewhat if the new+ option only existed as a npc at the end of the game, and the only thing that carried over was affection. this would allow for a perfect 100% completion mode and players wouldn't need a guide or regret their decisions.
oh and just to be a shitter, it's been a week :P
Please don't be a shitter.
DeleteI think even if Sierra one day decided to do it, or raised a bunch of money to do it, or finished TLS and her next project had a NG+ right from the get-go...
DeleteA NG+ shouldn't affect Relationship Points, because they're a symbol of how deep of a relationship they share. When you're getting killed by Ginasta and then lock her up, if she's already at 100 Affection why on earth did she try to kill you?
The NG+ would have to be implemented right at the beginning and be as complicated as making two or more games all at once. The events and conversations would have to be different, especially the way Carina bad-mouths you right at the start.
The only things that should possibly be carried over in such a situation are money and items, and maybe EXP. Many games make you choose only one of those things.
And the game wasn't made thinking you would get 100%. Simon isn't some smooth talker who can make all the women love him eternally. He's not going to meticulously plan all of his actions so that he can methodically increase the depth of their trust and love so that eventually there's no more depth to gain.
Any normal playthrough without a walkthrough is likely much closer to normal Simon than playing with a walkthrough and going for perfection. Plus if you get 100% there's no reason to play again! The best part about games with this many options and secrets is that replaying it has value.
Also I can't believe Sierra said shitter.
the other day i was talking with a (female) friend about your game and how the characters were really good...
ReplyDeleteand it surfaced the questiona about your gender
i said "they call sierra "her" so maybe its even a woman=
we started talking about how so little women do these kind of things and...to kill my curiosity are you a girl ?
you would think that, but a good chunk of hentai and adult artists are female, the role of females in the industry is extremely downplayed considering they are generally some of the largest contributors to it.
Deletesome of the most erotic things ever produced are by women oddly enough. I think part of this is mostly due to men in general not targeting more creative paths while women are more encouraged to do so.
Yup, female. However, if I had not started using this pseudonym for written erotica (which is overall dominated by women), I would probably have chosen a male pseudonym. Simpler that way.
