TLS 0.32.1
 - You can now customize flowers in the training yard.
 - Patrici now has her proper custom sprite.
 - Andra has a new faceset.
 - The cathedral library has been updated, though not with much.
 - So many minor fixes.

I hope this is the last really broad update and ones after that can be more plot-focused. Having said that, some of the pieces here have been long-awaited. ^-^

Also hope to be able to release publicly in a week, barring problems. My goal is to finish off all the minor side content I've deferred in the past, so as to focus more on new plot segments. Anyway, enjoy!

2018!

I have just made last week's 2017 in Review post public. Please do read if you are interested in my reflections on the past year as well as an indicator of my focuses for this one.

One thing I want to say unavoidably here: I am not sure how 2018 will go for TLS updates. It remains my primary project, and I hope to advance significantly closer to the end. However, based on the content that I intend to create and other impending events, I'm afraid the releases will be irregular.

I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel it was best for the game overall, but I understand some will be disappointed. In any case, I look forward to bringing you a lot of content in 2018!
