Phew, this was a long one. I hope it's out in a very polished form for everyone, but I've been adding in content up until the very end, so it's possible that I've added some new bugs. Hope everyone enjoys, though - these two updates released publicly combine the base and all the new regions!
After so long, I don't have a lot left to say. I will sleep once I check everything is in order, but hopefully all is well. Enjoy the release! ^-^

TLS 0.31.0 Released!
New update for patrons! Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.

- Enemies have regenerated around the world
This is a really broad update and honestly I'm kind of stretched thin. But this one is definitely going public, since it ties together the basebuilding stuff, lets you progress the main quests, and advances the story. I'm just not sure when. Either in one week, or in two weeks with more content added. I wanted to add more sex scenes, for example, but ran out of time.
Will keep it short for now and get back to work.

TLS 0.30.0 Released!
NOTE: Updated post with new section for the unusual 0.30.2 release, see below.
New update for patrons! Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.
TLS 0.30.0
- Intro to chapter four.
- Base customization, expansion, and upgrading.
- One new plot sex scene.
- Many affection scenes are now available for the first time.
- Nine new synergy skills.
TLS 0.30.1
- General bugfixing. An expansion update may be coming, so this is mostly for new players.
So... things did not go as planned at all and I'm releasing this early instead of the side project (which is complete but waiting on art assets). I am super behind schedule, so I won't say a lot here. Check Patreon for links, or the usual forums for screenshots and more info.
Rather than focusing on story, this update introduces a first for the game: a heavily customizable home base. You can expand new rooms, upgrade various systems, and so on, but that includes cosmetic customization.
I'm not sure about a public release for this one. It will depend on how many changes I make based on patron feedback and how soon I think the next update will be. See everybody then!
-
TLS 0.30.2
General Changes:
- NOTICE: There have been minor affection changes added to the investments at the end of the war. These only affect the very end after the final battle, but you may want to re-select investments to optimize affection.
- New sex scene when accessing your bed, if certain relationship points are high enough
- New character interaction, requires unlocker event
- Two new synergy skills
- Misc bugfixing
Customization Stuff:
- The courtyard is now customized by your wall choice and you can choose your ground type.
- The courtyard now contains training orcs to test new skills
- Nine new wall choices
- Nine new floor choices, including wood floors
- Six new carpet choices
- Thirteen new statue options available, including pillars
- Many statues now have left/right versions
- Two new big statues
- Eight new banners, including other wall ornaments
- One additional bed, one additional throne
- The library shelves are now symmetrical. A few of you are quite pleased, I'm sure. =P
- You can now sit on your throne. It doesn't do much, but you can feel thronely?
As you can see, a lot of effort went into base-building stuff. There are a few quirks that seem to be built into the script I'm using, but otherwise we cleaned up a lot of bugs as well as adding a bunch of new options. Also replaced some of the drabbest default options.
Those of you not really interested in base-building, rest assured that we are done with that for the foreseeable future. For my sanity, if nothing else. Those of you who enjoy it, though, please have fun!
Unlike the usual secondary updates, this one actually has a little content expansion. Full description above, but I think you'll want to check out the bed for a scene that I've been waiting to write for a very long time.

The Future of TLS
Hello, everyone! I'm here to talk about several things.
Most importantly, I've just made public a significant Patreon post. In it, I talk about exactly how many chapters TLS will have, outline the rough shape of what future development will look like, and share some thoughts about what's been done so far compared to my original plans.
Second, I've updated the public version yet again to 0.29.5. Nothing too important in this update, but I don't like there being bugs in the main public version when a new one isn't imminent. So if anyone is replaying the war or starting fresh, get the newest version from the previous post.
Third, I've put up my commercial games on GameJolt. Check them out at these links if you have any interest in the platform:
https://gamejolt.com/games/ouroboros/252857
https://gamejolt.com/games/crimsongray/285247
As I detail in the first link, whenever I complete a chapter of TLS, I take a break to work on something different to refresh myself creatively. So I have not been working on TLS recently, but I have been working on a new project that will hopefully be complete soon. Patrons will definitely get to play a new, complete game in October, and everyone else can count on seeing it in time. ^-^
So yes, feel free to read that first post and please look forward to the future of TLS!

TLS 0.29.5 Public Release
Download*: https://mega.nz/#!CssCiABJ!-SU_hj7FZbGxvBDbF3amjPrRPb2giwS3DB8BJsjJnbU
Mirror*: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wwi0h1deh6je0v9/TLS%200.29.5.exe
RTP: https://mega.nz/#!Ts1CAJgD!t2T1YLwHsHU0lq-H7ku5_e5zdpYr72LRbHpuD42yFC4
*Requires RPG Maker VX Ace RTP to be installed. If you don't know what that means, use the RTP link.
Version 0.29.0
- Another double update, both the end of the war and the aftermath.
- Four new plot sex scenes.
- Six new affection sex scenes.
- Decided to increase the speed of buffing skills and trialed it on Carina's. Report if you like it and I can use the same style for other skills that target the entire party.
- The new section of the game involves splitting the party into three groups for one dungeon. This is only possible thanks to the scripting work of Decanter. Huge thanks to him!
Version 0.29.1
- Some polishing, removal of serious Hilstara bug.
Version 0.29.2
- The orc summit has been made somewhat easier.
- Hilstara's sequence has been made harder.
- The number of reserves during the aftermath has been reduced.
- This section has also been modified to eliminate some bugs, but more checking is necessary.
- Riala's skills have all been compiled into a single menu.
- The Unsuccubus Mass image has been improved (thanks to Decanter!).
- All party buffing animations improved and sped up (thanks to CyberForte!).
- Many minor bugs/fixes/improvements.
Version 0.29.3
- Reviewing the entire war, there have been a number of tweaks to improve the overall balance.
- Though I kept the reduced reserves, I made the instability penalties less punishing. In theory this will nudge games away from both extremes.
- The results of the investments have changed in multiple ways. They are generally more beneficial to the player, so you may want to replay the very end.
- Thanks to Decanter, we have an edited chapter four title card. Now hopefully more people will read it right at first glance.
- Riala's sex skills have been given new animations and slightly rebalanced.
- The usual bugs, typos, and polishing.
Version 0.29.4
- Fixed several invisible but nontrivial mistakes involving hidden variables.
Version 0.29.5
- Yet more fixes, most trivial but a few inconveniencing to certain saves.
Alright, everyone, this is the official public release of this version as well as the end of the third chapter! As you can see, the war has undergone a lot more rebalancing than a normal release thanks to all the new sections and different kinds of challenges. I also feel that some of the initial values I had for the investments and consequences weren't quite right, so I've modified many of those. Hopefully this version gives you some hard choices and challenges but is still fun to play!
With this chapter complete, I will be taking a break to work on a short new project, to refresh my creative energy. After the last chapter I created Ouroboros, for example. I will be saying a little more about this in the future, and you can count on the roadmap to the end of TLS being made public soon, but for now, please enjoy the release!
EDIT: The links have been updated to version 0.29.4, which makes a number of invisible changes. While these are not generally critical, if you did reasonably well in the war but received zero social capital during the aftermath, you definitely want to replay that section.

Version 0.29.0 Released!
New update for patrons! Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.
REMINDER: As this as an extra large update, it will take more than a single week for bugtesting to be complete. See below for a list of changes and expect the public version in a week. It's currently available on Patreon to $1 and up backers.

Version 0.29.2 [9/1/17]
- The orc summit has been made somewhat easier.
- Hilstara's sequence has been made harder.
- The number of reserves during the aftermath has been reduced.
- This section has also been modified to eliminate some bugs, but more checking is necessary.
- Riala's skills have all been compiled into a single menu.
- The Unsuccubus Mass image has been improved (thanks to Decanter!).
- All party buffing animations improved and sped up (thanks to CyberForte!).
- Many minor bugs/fixes/improvements.
Really came down to the wire, so not a lot to say now. If you want a preview of this version, do check out the screenshots I've posted on various forums (ULMF, for one example). It's currently playable on Patreon, of course. Expect the public version in time, not necessarily a week depending on how long the bug fixing process takes.
I will probably not do many extra large updates like this again in the future. Though I think they let me produce more content per day overall, the additional content doesn't seem to mean anything to a vocal minority. It might be for the best in terms of overall game development again in the future, but in the short term it does not feel worth it. -_-
But that aside, this is a large update that I feel is a satisfying conclusion to the third chapter of the game! I hope everyone enjoys it!

In addition to more balancing and getting feedback from players, I used this week to finish off some old bugs and minor issues that had been low priority while I was rushing on new content. These are not a big deal, but I do try to go back and polish whenever I get a chance.
As a reminder: I might make retroactive changes to this section to balance the entire war, once I finish the next update. So if you definitely want to play only once, maybe wait a little. Having said that, this update has loads of new content for everyone to play!

Due to the length and complexity of this update, I can't promise it will be out in the usual exactly one week. There are a lot of calculations going on underneath the surface, and I want to make sure they're all correct and well-balanced before I release the update publicly.
Meanwhile, if you were waiting for Crimson Gray to appear on MangaGamer, the preorder page is now online. I'm still mostly looking toward the Steam release, but definitely use MG if that's your preference:

Crimson Gray Released!
I have a new completed game out! I'll put an image and the synopsis here, but you can find out more information at this public Patreon post or the game's page. It will be available in all stores in two weeks, but currently it is exclusive to Nutaku.
Synopsis
John is a young man suffering from severe depression. As he loses his sense of purpose in life, he begins to see the world in unfocused gray. Just when he begins to lose all hope, John meets a girl... a very special girl.
Though Lizzie appears affectionate and devoted, it quickly becomes clear that she's so violent and unstable that a normal boy would run away from her. But when John sees her, he sees someone else suffering from a mental condition. John is willing to risk his safety for a chance to help Lizzie gain some mental stability. Lizzie is willing to murder everyone in school if she believes it would make him happy.
Your every choice will impact both characters' mental states, changing their fate. John might reject Lizzie, succumb to his depression, or die violently. Lizzie might lose control and ruin her chances, or become obsessed with shadowy conspiracies that may or may not exist. Or just maybe the two of them might be exactly what the other needs, and their story could end in happiness...
Crimson Gray is a psychological thriller, exploring the psyches of the characters and the strange circumstances that brought them together. It has a focus on subtle actions having consequences, your choices impacting the characters' mental stability in ways that could make choices down the line have very different results.

I am still aiming for Friday, July 7th. This update will be larger than normal and may require more bugtesting. Meanwhile, I hope Crimson Gray will tide you over!
Synopsis
John is a young man suffering from severe depression. As he loses his sense of purpose in life, he begins to see the world in unfocused gray. Just when he begins to lose all hope, John meets a girl... a very special girl.
Though Lizzie appears affectionate and devoted, it quickly becomes clear that she's so violent and unstable that a normal boy would run away from her. But when John sees her, he sees someone else suffering from a mental condition. John is willing to risk his safety for a chance to help Lizzie gain some mental stability. Lizzie is willing to murder everyone in school if she believes it would make him happy.

As you can see, this update is getting a lot of things properly in order so that I can focus fully on the war event.

A lot of quests/variables/investments that have been ongoing for a while finally wrap up this time.
Some of the things I've been working on in the background are getting much closer to release, so look forward to some of that. But meanwhile, please enjoy this update!

Ouroboros on Newgrounds
The public version of 0.26.x will still be coming out this Friday, but for now, I have another diversion for you. Last night I put version 1.1.7 of Ouroboros up on Newgrounds, and fortunately it managed to get accepted fairly quickly:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/692386
Even subtracting the people I know, it seems Newgrounds doesn't hate the game! =D I didn't think Ouroboros was a great fit for the site, so I'm pleased that it has been somewhat well-received so far. Depending on how well it does, this could be a chance for my work to get exposure to a large group of people who probably haven't seen it before. Please check it out, and if you're a Newgrounds user, maybe give me a vote?
EDIT: Huh, we got frontpaged pretty fast. I thought daily top five was about the best we can hope for, but this is unexpectedly good. Votes are still helpful for potential ranking and longevity on the front page - thanks to everyone!
EDIT 2: Alright: frontpaged, daily 2nd place, and thousands of views so far! I was hesitant about this, but it seems to have been a good choice. Now it's just a question of how long the ratings/views keep us on the front page, but it should stay there for at least a while, pulling in some new attention. One more thanks to everyone!
Full disclosure: if you played the old version of Ouroboros, much less 2.0, there's not really much new for you. I had to make some modifications so that it would be accepted to Newgrounds, but otherwise it's a port of the same game. I hope that some people encounter it for the first time and enjoy it, though!
Anyway, back Friday with the public version of the release.

TLS 0.25.1 Released
New update for patrons, including $1 patrons this time! Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.
Version 0.25.1
The release schedule is unusual because I wanted to take the time to implement a new system: synergy skills. These allow party members to use new skills when another character is in the party. For example, if Robin is in the same party, Aka will gain a fire elemental stabbing skill. I think this is a fun way to expand the game mechanically and build on the relationships between party members.
Expect more of these as the game goes on! We're currently brainstorming the whole system's balance and many specific skills in a special Patreon thread, so feel free to stop by there if you're on the right tier.
Next public release is on Friday, see you then!

This update finishes Zirantia! Lots of things wrapped up this time, so next the party will be headed back to Yhilin. I hope that the next release can come sooner than the usual 4-5 weeks, because I've been trying to work ahead on Ari-Yhilina events like the new investments you saw last time. There will be more updates about this on Patreon, hopefully culminating in a faster than average release.
I think that's all for now. I'm going to be AFK for a while, because I am actually going outside and watching a movie. Insanity, I know. If anything got broken during the fixes, I'll be back to fix it later. Otherwise, I hope that I'll be able to transition fully to working on the next release.

Version 0.23.0
- New section of the story added, beginning the Zirantian section.
- Two new sex scenes.
- The previous iteration of Ari-Yhilina has been updated, adding more potential affection.
- There are also a significant number of Lynine/Orilise events added to that iteration.
Version 0.23.1
- The usual bugfixes and polishing.
- Additional flavor text added to palace room and the crypt.
- Thanks to Lamsey for fixing and converting a lot of musical tracks. If you noticed any minor audio glitches before, those should be fixed now thanks to him!
- Thanks to Decanter, we have a new Fuani sprite that matches her coloring better.
- Since the "optimize" option does not really optimize in a game with multiple stats on equipment, it has been renamed. Thanks to HarmlessArachnid for volunteering his scripting knowledge, even if it didn't get used in the end. The discussions and contributions of players help me keep polishing all the details. ^-^
Version 0.23.2
- Some minor polishing, but the real reason I put out a new version is this:
- Several pots in 0.23.1 that give Zirantian Artifacts can't be interacted with properly. Update to this version to collect them.
Nice to have a straightforward release! I hope everybody enjoys this introduction to Zirantia. Lots of foundation for things in this update, so I hope you enjoy all the plot developments and new areas. Expect a big finish for Zirantia next update, then an extra large Yhilin update. The plot is definitely moving forward, we'll be getting to some very big events this year.

Thanks to HarmlessArachnid for volunteering his scripting knowledge, even if it didn't get used in the end. The discussions and contributions of players help me keep polishing all the details. ^-^
Version 0.23.2
- Some minor polishing, but the real reason I put out a new version is this:
- Several pots in 0.23.1 that give Zirantian Artifacts can't be interacted with properly. Update to this version to collect them.
Nice to have a straightforward release! I hope everybody enjoys this introduction to Zirantia. Lots of foundation for things in this update, so I hope you enjoy all the plot developments and new areas. Expect a big finish for Zirantia next update, then an extra large Yhilin update. The plot is definitely moving forward, we'll be getting to some very big events this year.

LewdGamer Interview
Okay, time to change pace a little! A while back I was interviewed by LewdGamer, and that interview just went online:

Please do check it out. While some time is devoted to explaining my work for those who aren't familiar with it, there's also some new information in there!
Meanwhile, the release seems to have gone very smoothly, so the public version should definitely be out this Friday.

TLS 0.23.0 Released!
New update for patrons! Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.
Version 0.23.0
- New section of the story added, beginning the Zirantian section.
- Two new sex scenes.
- The previous iteration of Ari-Yhilina has been updated, adding more potential affection.
This one gets us into Zirantia. Not a lot to say, other than that it'll be playable in a week and I hope to follow it up with a second release finishing up the Zirantian plotlines. Enjoy! ^-^

So, 2017!
Hello everyone, glad you're still with us! It's a new year and it'll be filled with a lot of releases. One of those should be coming soon, but first we have a few bits of extra content for you.
First, I've just made my 2016 reflection post on Patreon public:

Feel free to read for some more information about what I've done and what I'll be doing in the coming year. It should be a busy one, but I hope to be able to deliver a lot of content to everyone!
There will be some other extra content as well, but the first TLS release won't be too long in coming. Here's to a great 2017!
