TLS 0.39.0 Released!

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

TLS 0.39.0
 - New update covering the first three days of the Ivalan summit.
 - Initial lamia battler swapped with improved version (thanks to Decanter for finding it).
 - Retroactively added custom sprite/bust/face for Vera (priestess of the Goddess of Magic). This is thanks to Bug Reporting, who also did the new characters this update.

TLS 0.39.1
 - Difficulty of the second vote has been reduced.
 - In addition, it received a special last ditch option to prevent unwinnable games.
 - Key bug that made Vote 5B too difficult is fixed.
 - The usual bugfixing and polishing.

Alright, I've done what I think is best for the game: split the summit into two parts. This way I can keep up release momentum as well as get feedback on some of the new things I'm trying with this update. It will be reminiscent of the Ardford Summit, but with this one I put the emphasis on social manipulation. Hopefully with some tweaking, this will be a fun addition to the game.

This update isn't a trivial one, though! It introduces all the High Priestesses you hadn't met before in addition to some important characters from other religious factions. In the votes covered by this update, you'll lead the religious situation on Arclent in one of several major directions, which will have a permanent impact on the world.

Because this update is a bit experimental, I have no idea what to say about when it will be released publicly. This blog is the place to check for major updates, while the progress will be focused on Patreon.

  4. Wow, this game checks almost every one of the things I like in a game. Sadly, the only thing missing would be gay(bi male) sex. I just now saw the game on the f95zone site. I'm going to download it and give it a try, but I just thought I'd let you know. It's always possible to allow people options to enable or disable. Anyways, thought I'd say hi to the creator, and can't wait to play.

    1. I'm sorry to say the game doesn't have any content that will appeal to you there, but I hope you enjoy giving it a try!

  5. Found a place to enter the wall inside of the place where most of the church representatives are (haven't gotten too far), how would i send a picture of where there are no wall to block you from entering a area I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be at.

    1. Were you playing on version 0.39.0 or .1? I believe it should be fixed now.

      Delete
    2. Yeah it was 0.39.0 although there was another house with the same problem.

    3. If they both use the same tileset, both should be fixed, I hope.

    4. It was a mirror in the house in the bottom left, the top part you could walk into.

  7. When are we going to meet the dwarfs i really want to know more about Neranda and her situation.I have been interested with this for the 1 time we have been there.I know that we will go there in chapter 4 but is it coming soon or do we need to wait more?

    1. Soon...ish? First we have to finish the summit, then the situation in Erosia isn't going to just sit quietly. But before too many updates you'll go back, and depending on your variables you could see major plot development with Neranda there.

  8. This is Annah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA8LjcpjjKQ i hope she will change in the future.

    I felt really bad about Andra maybe she was a bit#h but i don't think she deserved that.If we had a choice what to do in the past i would rather make her join the harem and not make her a sl#t hungry for orc meat.And when i see her now and the way she talks to others idk i feel that we made a wrong choice she was not really that bad but she made wrong choices nothing more.I hope that maybe she will join the harem and get a happy end because what was happening to her was because of us and us not having the power and resources to change things then without hurting somebody.

    1. Yup, Annah has some pretty strong opinions. =P

      As for Andra, she won't join the harem or have a major role in the plot, but depending on your choices she'll get a resolution. She's the one chaining herself, though, so she can't be free until she accepts herself.

  9. At the risk of spoilers, I just wanted to comment on the votes on the last day. Unless I'm wrong, there's really no way to get a golden path, is there..?

    This isn't a criticism, and it feels realistic to me. It's just a gutpunch to know that, sometimes, even doing your best isn't enough to make the world a better place.

    1. It's possible for things to go pretty well overall, but you can never get everyone on your side and all three main paths have tradeoffs.

    2. Can I request the removal of bondage gear from Yarra's "Sexual Meeting Room"

      I mean there's a place for bondage gear (arguably not there) but the images are so low quality that they don't even look like they belong in the same game.

      Also the Throne Room could use some carpet, at least in front of the throne, it's kind of weird that the carpet just ends at the end of the hall.

    3. Did you... repost your request in a post from 2018? In any case, what I said before still applies.

  12. You are spoiling the game and I feel 100% you are from F95

    1. I apologize over spoiling. I thought this comment section was an area for those who already got the update. I'll delete my posts and try to transfer them to patreon.

      I'm not sure what F95 is though.

      Delete
    2. It is much better to do it on patreon that way people who don't support the game won't get spoiler while here everyone can see it and read it.

    3. This comment section is to inform non-patrons that the update is coming and let them keep up with developments, like changing release dates. F95 is a pirate forum where people share early versions. If people report errors or make good points, I'll still listen, of course.

      As for your long posts, I do still have the copies of them via email notification. Thank you for your obvious care for the game. This is the wrong place to reply in depth, but in brief I'll say that I felt the Ardford summit was a bit mechanistic in terms of a "do thing, get vote" pattern. With the council, my goal was to develop a system focused on influence and interweaving consequences. I hope with more votes added this will seem clearer.

    4. Thanks for informing me of that. I generally don't like actually posting on patreon, so I was a bit awkward where to put my massive comment. However I did make a post under my real name on the 39.0 update post, just to show that I didn't get the early version from F95.

      I honestly hadn't expected to write so much when I set out. I figured any awkwardness was due to the summit being cut off part way through. It appeared these votes were more general choices on how you want the church to go forward, being forced to make a number of hard choices, and the rest of them will be more the fallout where the gathered influence will be put to use. Just got a bit too into it when a random thought on the volunteers came to me. Looking forward to seeing how your vision plays out. Good luck.

  13. when i save and then shut down the game and then reopen it, it wont let me continue from where i save and sometimes it just kicks me out of the game so i would have to start all over again is there anyway to stop this from happening

    1. It's hard to know for certain without knowing your exact computer, but that sounds like your antivirus program is flagging TLS. That would be the first place to look, I think.

    2. it's still not working and im using a windows laptop

      Delete
    3. A false positive from your antivirus is still the most likely explanation. Do you get any kind of error message when you get kicked out? Do you see your save files in the game's folder?
