TLS 0.39.2
 - Numerous balance changes, on average making the vote requirements easier.
 - New/improved Kerannii expressions thanks to Bug Reporting.
 - Improved musical tracks thanks to Lamsey.
 - High Priestesses have been added to the waiting room for those who want to check influence scores again.

TLS 0.39.3
 - Minor changes. Only doing a release to clear up the fade bug.

Here's the public version of the Council! Lots of politicking, now in refined form. ^-^ While this version of the council should be a bit more forgiving and more nuanced, I still can't promise this is 100% final balance. I did my best, though.

Not a lot else to say. Hope you enjoy - I will be back to working! Expect the rest of the council as well as some other fun things in time.

  2. Am I the only one that wants to acquire Andra as part of the harem?

    1. She would make a great bondage and humiliation play, but nah I want annah those sharp eyes are a plus for me.

    2. Andra IS mind broken so anyway she would be useless In most quests... and maybe when she will recover (50% that will happen) maybe she will help you and join your harem if so that will be a choice like with Alina...

  3. On day 3 I went back the city go get the succubus music group, after I tried to go back to the summit I've got an black screen.

    1. Yeah, this is a bug. What's happening is that the screen fades out, but it doesn't fade back in.

      I'll definitely fix this, but for now the way to dodge the bug is fairly easy: only visit Ardford on the first night. That's the time you need to get the succubus music group, anyway.

  5. Bug (more placing): When Kerani observe Simons soul the spells center is in Sarais room what seems to be really strange.

    Other things: 1. Now where is the Hug Orgy Scene???
    2. Candles to ward of evil not worked against succubi maybe they need to try out other flavours like with that Anti-mosquito candles ;) ?
    3. Sanification Mages at the Council? Need the Special Shrine in the left top corner a plumber ;)
    4. As always nice Forshadowing with the Sea Monsters, the Orc cook great work

    Right now i was able to let the Succubi join with moderate and burning Hester in that way and made no deal with one of the Aram priestesses put it took a long time to find a way for that and i only managed that with an optimal plus play ( don´t whore Qum but get the Pron as if) so it seems to be challanging but doable with burning a lot i started with 22 Influence and burned it down. But it is interresting and will defenitly a point for a save to than later see the diffrent aftermaths.

    Also nice that if we saved Carinas men they show up and it doesn´t do anything so still seems to be an not so optiomal choice.

    Also i wait if we ever get to Ardfords city Hall everytime we come by it is closed ;)

    Also tertiage marriages are a good solution otherwise we get the next movement that succubi try to outbreed humanity with all that young women that are not able to find a men after the war and succubi diminish the potential number of partners even further.

    Keep up the good work.

    1. Bug will be fixed next version, thanks!

      Thank you for sharing your results and general thoughts. Carina's men show up not to say that's a bad decision, just because I wanted the fact that they were still alive to come up again from time to time.

      And yes, the possibility of new marriage forms is something I've been wanting to bring up for a while. Seems like a logical development of the world situation, and I enjoy exploring those.

      Hug Orgy coming soon. XD

      Delete
    2. The Entity now have her crystal so that bug is fixed.

      It is not a bad decision right now there seem to be decisions that are better even if i feel a little bad that i´m not willing to harm one woman but have no problem to let some church soldiers die.

      That aside will Orcent speak with a certain priestess in the second part in the pub where the succubus band is now playing?

      And to Qum maybe we should do a research to find out why Qum is Qum ? She is adorably as always!

      Delete
    3. Not sure what you mean by the Orcent part - you mean a new bar conversation?

      Delete
    4. Yes Nabith seems to be impressed by him so why not a bar talk with a high priestess.

  6. Can we get Annah in the harem if not someone else with the same shap glaring eye, I like those eyes.

  7. Thanks for the update, i had a lot of fun figuring it all out!
    I'm sure Aram won't be too happy that after our meddling with the Dwarren we are now messing with their internal religious affairs though..

    Also there's a very rude Ardan bank clerk that keeps calling me Ma'am.

    1. Glad you enjoyed it! You will definitely need to face Aram later, and your relationships with the High Priestesses will have an impact on that event.

      Which bank clerk? I tried to update all the NPCs from Megail's route, but I probably missed some.

      Delete
    2. well now i'm kind of worried that i made a deal with both of them haha.

      Oh yeah, sorry. I'll be more precise, it's the female clerk on the left side of the front desk. "if you have normal business i'd be happy to help you here, ma'am".

  8. Just finished the update. I thought it was a bit short at first, but taking a second look and making some different choices revealed that it's much more convoluted than I initially thought. Must be a headache to balance properly.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yup. Sections like these are so much work to create, yet if you just play with one set of decisions, they seem short. I know some people definitely don't like these, but it's what is required to make the game responsive to many choices, so I'm glad there are people out there who appreciate them!

  9. Liked this update, can't wait for the second half.

    In particular, I liked that Qum is figuring out how to use ascended sexual magic, I hope this is leading up to Qum being the one that will have to teach classes to Simon and the mages on how it works, feels like there is some great comedic potential in that.

    In fact, I hope that entire ascended magic plotline will lead to Simon getting some new combat skills, it has certainly been a while since he got one. I understand the plot reasons that prevent him from using strong Incubus King magic, but maybe he can learn something new that he can use without being detected when he masters this new type of magic.

    It would be really, really cool if Simon would get a "synergy skill" only when all combat harem members had their relationship points maxed out. Could be a superpowered merge of "Support Allies" and "King's Aura" that can only be used once per battle and only when the rest of the party is KO'd, to synergize with the bonuses Simon gets when he is the last man standing.

    1. Glad you liked the update! No comment on future speculations, other than that of course you'll get more of Qum. ^-^

      Delete
    2. There is never enough of Qum. :)

      Forgot to report this earlier because I'm not sure if it is intended behavior or not, during the vote to reform the church for ivalan succubi, having Simon argue to get Kerannii's support flips the "Esmera Override" switch, which I assume is meant to punish the player for appealing to Esmera's rival, the "Esmera Override" switch is supposed to make Esmera change her vote from "yes" to "no" unless the player has a deal with Esmera, but the only way to get Esmera to vote "yes" in the first place is by having a deal with her, so the "Esmera Override" switch has been made to be completely redundant. I'm not sure if the way the game is currently playing out is intended behavior and the override switch is just deprecated code or if it is a bug and it is affecting the balance of the vote, but figured I might as well report it.

    3. correct i realy like Cum also becausse she is a very cute sucubus
      and super gently not pushy i real also loved when she used her research the Cum-bomb to calm every 1 down but whit no after affekts.
      and appearently she is a Sevant whitout knowing it

      Delete
    4. I'm fairly sure the Esmera Override switch is left over from old plans, so it's unfortunately useless. I had some issues managing everything this update too. ^-^' I believe that balance should be okay without it, though.

  10. Considering all the differences between the different denominations we're seeing, and how that affects intra-church politics, I'm curious on how their followers are distributed. Do you have a general idea on which denomination is most common?

    I sort of imagine consecrationism is the most widespread among the common people. Desecrationist 'sin and you're irrevocably tainted' seems too harsh for the common people to follow consistently. Subsecrationist would also be more acceptable, but I considering Sarai is the only mentioned High Priestess of this denomination, I feel like its tolerance was probably a mark against it before the story (although maybe the accomplishments by Simon have changed this).

    Desecrationists however probably fill out a disproportionate amount of the clergy. With the Church requiring chastity for ordained clergy, the denomination that already advocates extremely strict requirements for 'acceptable' sex seems natural to produce the most chaste individuals.

    Just curious on which denomination has the most support among the common people? Which has the most noble support? Which controls the majority of the Church hierarchy? Is there a more complex answer for this or are they pretty evenly split across the board?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Oh, this should be fun! I have notes on this, but I've never found a time to work them into the game.

      As you suspected, the majority of average Ivalans are Consecrationists. They might not have considered the theology in depth, but they have a strong view of Ivala as a helpful figure - there are more than a few nominal followers who might not spend much time in churches but stop by for a blessing from time to time.

      There's a powerful conservative minority, however, that holds more Desecrationist views. They generally aren't as extreme as the pure theology might suggest, but they prefer Desecrationist priestesses - especially when they're preaching against the failings of others, as opposed to condemning sins like pride or greed. They got a major boost during the earlier war against succubi, but don't have so many young followers due to recent developments.

      Subsecrationists are relatively few, but over-represented among priestesses (especially theologians). This does have an impact on the Church in general. Essentially, many common people might view that stance as too esoteric, but they've probably picked up some Subsecrationist views that might, for example, soften a Desecrationist stance.

      Many in the Church hierarchy take more nuanced views as a result of years working with others. Nobles can be a bit mercenary, going with whichever theological school has more local support. There are also many common people who just focus on basic tenets of Ivalanism and view internecine conflicts as matters for priestesses.

      I'm not reaaly sure in how it can be reflected in the game, but I found it fascinating.

  11. Thanks for the great update! I really enjoyed seeing the little testimonials from people I had helped/hindered in the past, e.g. the little succubus girl, the Aram border folks. I'm not sure if Hester is raising death flags or traitor flags but something is up with her. Thanks for the warning at the beginning of the section that we will probably have to replay it. With 4 more days of council, I'm sure there will be some replaying to do. I burned through a lot of Sarai's influence to get the result I wanted. That's part of the fun though.

  12. Posting since you requested feedback from non-optimized playthroughs.

    No matter what I tried, I couldn't get a good result from including succubi. I didn't do Riala's research project yet. Kerannii was no help, even with an alliance and low reforms, which is kind of odd since she was so gung-ho about including them before. She won't budge at all about anything.

    I got better results once I continued from a rejection and realized it was a whole valid branch. Maybe someone could clarify the disperse/new implications right away (or even earlier) to help prevent a reflexive reload?

    Kerannii still wouldn't help on that branch either. I ended up with her at +11 influence with no way to use it that I could see. Maybe over the back half of the conference? I'm not sure how much I did for her either, to be fair, but I still feel a bit like she's the real master manipulator here.


    Mostly unrelated, but I started a replay and got to wondering if succubus soul-draining is actually a thing. It's not really mentioned except as superstition or the one incident in the prologue, but that has an alternate explanation after taking Andra's guard prisoner.

  13. So Yelarel is obviously cute A/TF...but her right horn looks like it was a separate (which it probably was, no blame here) image that got copy/pasted without any editing on her head.
    And it kind of ruins the look

    1. Most of the characters are edits, yes. I'm grateful for Bug Reporting's work, but there's only so much he can do.

  14. Hi Sierra.

    First of all, I just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of the game. I understand that this update has many branching paths, and so might be a bit buggier than usual. That's totally okay. I appreciate an indie developer having this level of ambition and confidence, not to mention that you're actually pulling it off. :)

    Anyway, I have two minor bug reports on 0.39.2:

    1. Andra shows up out of nowhere at the beginning of day 3. In my play through, I haven't fully integrated orcs and succubi into Yhilin yet. If I understand her wiki page correctly, this means that Andra is still missing after disappearing from her monastery. I know that she was referenced in relation to Nabitha, but my Simon should still have no idea where Andra was. Imagine my surprise and confusion when she shows up in Yelarel's room on the morning of day 3, with no introduction, talking about how even some succubi may be purer than her now, and then later asking to address the synod. It took me a while to even make the connection that this random blue-haired woman was Andra. She has a forgettable face, to be honest.

    I won't be forgetting Annah though. That woman is hot, hot, hot. :D But I digress.

    2. On the red carpet in Keranni's room, one of the tiles toward the right has some fancy gold trim along the wall. Either there's a secret door there that won't open until the second half of the summit, or the wrong tile got painted there.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi, thanks for your feedback and glad you like the game!

      1) Not sure if this is a bug. Andra should reappear no matter what, but there should be different dialogue based on whether or not you had seen her since she disappeared.

      Her reintroduction is with Yelarel in between votes, so I suppose it's actually possible to miss it entirely.

      2) Yup, tiling error. The engine really wants to add gold trim everywhere and I failed to clean that one up. Fixed!

    2. Huh. I tried to have Simon go outside during the first vote, and he said something like "Let's stay focused on the voting" and refused to leave. I never tried to leave the building during the day after that.

      It would be nice if there was some indication that something interesting has happened outside the building.

      If it didn't involve going outside, I don't know then. I made sure to talk to everyone inside the main building between each time skip.

      Delete
    3. Not outside the summit, she should be in the upper right corner. Near the 2 big stone slabs.

      Delete
    4. I played through Day 2 again. Still no Andra in the building, especially near the two stone slabs. She still shows up on the morning of Day 3. 🤷

      I also noticed that Hester is not in her room on Night 2, and I can't find her anywhere. Is that a bug?

      I'm on version 0.39.2.

      Delete
    5. Andra does not appear. Yelarel does and mentions her bringing high priestess Andra. She should be on the bench by the slabs just before the succubus acceptance vote. As for Hester she is around somewhere and I recommend looking around Gawnfall for here.

      Delete
    6. Sorry, should have been clearer. Andra isn't in the building herself, but when you speak to Yelarel, she introduces the fact that Andra is back. This event should have different dialogue depending on whether or not the party has seen Andra since her disappearance.

      Hester is outside on Night 2, north of the High Priestess building.

      Delete
  15. Hey Sierra just wanted to post some story impressions on the update's main focus the high priestess. (I tried to post it on patreon but it was eaten, :( likely for being too long)

    Hester_ The woman is hard as nails as ever. If she was an incubus King she would no doubt be the one I would be most afraid of. I like how she sits at the head of the table with all of the other priestess giving her the respect she deserves. It's sad, but understandable she is still at odds with Simon. Although I found it interesting she smiled after the blunt 'shape the world' comment and after refusing the 'backroom dealing' before the third day vote. I wonder if perhaps she is not
    most angry with Simon aligning with an incubus King conquering Yhillin, but perhaps with the ease and lack of guilt he has still continuously shown deceiving the world with the Dargai ruse.

    Annah_ More or less our Primary antagonist this time around. Though I like how she isn't the same frothing mad woman Andra was. She isn't even 'evil' I think she just has a skewed world perspective with a nasty combination of pettiness and lack of empathy. I found Vhala's comment on her distrusting the Unpeople based on not being able to accuse them of sexual misconduct very intresting. It implied she did that sort of thing of accusations of sexual misconduct to everyone else she had even the slightest feelings of unease towards. Like the cold war era trials where the red menace was threatening to infect the american way of life. Annah is afraid of the Succubus Sin tearing down everything the church stands for. So like I said not an evil villain, just someone in power with a high opinion of themselves and a case of 'composed' paranoia.

    Betrice_ Lovly to talk to as always. Her stance of wanting to help the Succubus but doubting the possible consequnces of to much too quickly is understandable. Her conversations with Altinia were heartwarming. Can't say anything really negative. Can't say much more, hope to see more with the two other elves teased.

    Kerannii_ I had this horrible idea that the two Aram high prietesses would be these two 'angry crones' that would do nothing but scream at each other for the duration of the summit. I was so glad to be proven wrong. Kerannii is cute as a button. At first I thought it might have been an act but the way she so innocently didn't understand Annah's 'cumsecrationists' insult was adorable. Anyone who broke her super secret friendship pinkie promise with a double deal should feel bad.

    1. Esemera_ I was surprised at how much I liked her as well. I was wary of her based on Carina's fear that she might be corrupt. But by the end I felt like she was almost like a religious Megail. Not a bleeding heart, but not evil or ruthless for the sake of cruelty.. She respected results in real-world progress without prior basis. I think I durst her enough to not stab me in the back for fun like the ardofrd ambassador did at the other summit. But I do feel like Esemera has helped me more then I have helped her so I fear what she might ask to call on my debt.

      Side note I appreciated how the two high priestesses had quarters as far apart as possible from on another, and with a similar setup at the meeting room. A cool detail.

      Nabith_ Like most of the others I liked her as well. The tense moment of "..." when Qum' ran up with a hug, followed by a wide motherly smile was touching. It was good she was not an Andra 2.0. But other then that I really cant say anything too positive or negative about her...which is part of my problem. She seemed to be standing firmly in the middle of every vote, "Let's not excommunicate the nations, lets just try a minor censure." "Perhaps unity Might be what we need, maybe." "Perhaps we should accept some succubus, but not all of them." "I want to help you...but I won't." It makes sense from a story stance, she is the youngest of the priestess so I get her not wanting to fully commit to one side just and make enemies. But she is a high priestess I want to know what she is passionate about other then a love of music.

      Sarai-Last and best. And I do mean that, she is by far my favorite. She hasn't had nearly enough screen time. The juxtaposition between 'informal' and 'formal' Sarai was amazing. I couldn't stop laughing at the line of "Ivala's holy cunt opened up before me and showed me we should all drink from our own assholes.' But honestly I think I liked her speeches in front of the summit the most. I even have a save where I burned all my influence just for her to always go all out and see her speeches. I never really thought to question it, but I see now why she got to high priestess she really is a good public speaker.

      Anyway I think I rambled on too much already, sorry. I just wanted to give my impression, and as always your Writing and politics are unbeatable even compared to 98% of all AAA games. Keep up the good work!

  17. I don't know if you can replicate this soft-lock, but during the time I was playing I went back to Ardford on Night 1 and returned with a black screen, soft-locking the game. Probably I should have listened to someone that told me that unnecessary trips aren't recommended

  18. I want to start by congratulating you on your work and everyone involved. This game is fantastic in the way it engages our fantasy needs and our sexy needs, with philosophical and political nuance that isn’t entirely disconnected from reality. This game is a truly enjoyable example of Art imitating Life. This is the first time I spend 60+ hours on an indi-game with a great story, and turn base combat because the fights are fun and that is all anyone can ask.
    I really liked the way everything is set up for the summit. I loved Hester role throughout the game and still love her role in Gawnfall.
    Nabith: New player, not a fan of her uncomfortable combination of acceptance of succubi and need to keep the church's old identity. The multiple ways I would argue against her beginning with what is at the core of the Ivallan belief being more important that the shape those beliefs were "forced" to take due to the I.E., provably with multiple cathedral metaphors.
    Annah: I need her in the Harem, nuff said, jk jk but still. I understand there was a need for the zealot character in this story and Carina has the religious aspect covered in the Harem but I still want this super passionate fiery impulsive and conflicted beast to find a way to fit into the Harem.
    The Aram priestesses:. I am not sure who I’d pick over the other
    The Elf priestess: I would like to have a fight between her and the representative of the mother guard. (Might lead to conflict in the future but the Mother has it coming, and my Doom King would take the Ivallan Church over the Mother every day of the year).
    On the conclusions of Gawnfall: I lean towards accepting the Succibi (personally because I blame the intervention of the I.E. as the main reason there was such a apprehensive view of Succubi. It is clear that it wasn't until the War that extreme views of sex= corruption and evil spread and they are still traumatized by it. Orcs are a separate issue for me until you develop more of their origin and the Blood spire.) The creation of a new Church is my favorite since I am all for the market of ideas regardless of my heathen atheist ways, however I would chose this IFF Sarai joins the Harem because of it and it ends up with Annah in the Harem somehow....please I beg you to take it under consideration this would be an amazing plot twist.
    I don't understand why the Church splitting is a Game Over, the ramification would be war but that is kind of this game's thing. A very bad thing with the fucklord invading but a plausible problem solver, there are too many denominations as is. "Cumsecretionists" this my friend is gold.

    The church will probably not take action against the fucked-lord as most of them even if they accepted the Succibi still see the Doom King as a threat and they rather not lose strength aiding him, if he dies good if he wins good.

    the Un-people have a very interesting possible ramifications, Disbanding them, keep making them if they volunteer, conscript for a new elite force, or my favorite possibility: The Church new all along how to reverse the process but chose to keep it from everyone. Hester reveals it here because she is the last of the "Old Guard" and wants it settled before giving up her position for the next generation. To me it would be an incomplete process that elevates a form of sex magic into a divine form because it’s so malleable "Love-magic" but the first step is to block sexuality and that is where it stopped, leaving a mangled mess called Unpeople to serve as weapons against sexual magic. There can be four plausible outcomes where Vhala leaves Simon or stays due to bad or good outcomes. Its easy to figure them out but my favorite is Vhala stays because Simon figured out how to cure her and they help form the new church with the Succubi.

    1. Thanks, glad you enjoy the game! It always makes me happy to see players engaging with all the story elements I put effort into. ^-^

      For the most part I won't comment on your speculations, but I will say that the results of the council will have a direct impact on Sarai's future!

      You can expect to have some control over a number of secondary issues during the second half of the council, including decisions related to the Fucklord and Unpeople.

    2. This story is very well thought out and the characters are extremely detailed (I will admit it was a shock when Simon sleeps with a skeleton but... yeah nvm). I already mentioned Orcent, he reminds me of a friend I had lots of existential conversations with. The fact a personality can be discerned with text alone is very rare in AAA titles today so I am very happy about finding it here.

      I completely understand why you wont address my speculations, but let me just say without any expectancy from my part: I am very exited about the possibilities this Transcendent sexual magic has for the individual stories of the party members and the combat development of not just Simon but the rest of the harem.

  19. Hey Sierra, i would like to say thanks for making this game. I am extremely impressed with the tact and maturity that you bring to this game. I began playing about three years ago but took a long break. I just began to play again, and again i just cannot state how impressive this game is. The writing is very thoughtful and expressive. I very much appreciate that even if it is an H game it can connect to me on a deeper level.

    So i suppose, i just want to say thanks for making this amazing game. I am very much looking forward to all of your work.

    You have a fan for life sierra! keep up the great work.

  20. I think maybe *someone* will somehow successfully kidnap some of the high priestesses, at least Annah.

  21. Will the combat slot extent some more to include one of the high priestesses, apart from G-girl? We do lack divine magic for aggressive purpose.

    1. Annah, maybe? aggressive enough.

    2. I don't think that this is in the cards, but I wouldn't mind seeing more of Annah, that is for sure.

  22. Hello just pass for ask the next update will be in month or the next ?
    and by the way if you have to give a % of game completion it will be less or more that 75% (you can give a more precise one if you want )
    and after this game will you still do a montly(or almost) update free game like this i think it a good model since by give it a montly update it make people have habite to comme every month in plus if some one have iregular revenu he can give more or less withous miss long time update (and in the end site like f95 will give it free even if you ask they to not ) if no why if yes with what engine still this one or the next one if yes have you already the scénario if so will it be abiggest or a smaller project ? and will it be one with political decition too (personaly this political afaire is the best
    i love to make world wides decition in game ;) and if yes will it be a male MC with a harem ?


    will you give in the end of years like for end of previouse chapter a end years global info

    1. I'm not big on percentages, but 75% is in the right neighborhood. I gave detailed information about the rest of the game in this public post:

      Right now I'm not sure what will come after TLS. I've certainly thought about the subject, but I think it would be best to focus on finishing TLS to my satisfaction.

  23. I would be interesting to see Annah begrudgingly have to ask for help or something. Maybe after realising she's weak or after she's attacked by a chosen (they are little shits after all).

  24. Hello! TLS is such a great piece of work. It's impressive. I've played it "to completion" some time ago and now, after so many updates, I'm going to play through it again!
    Thank you so, so much Sierra! Wish you the best of things!

  25. After two runs on the council, I ended up restarting on the succession crisis. Gotta love the attention you put in all details.
    In my previous run, I didn't copy anyone in new givini, but since I never attempted to, Eleani didn't know about it. How could I expect that would come back to bite in the ass and destroy my numbers during the council? Well played SL, well played.
    In any case, that also gave me the chance to experiment with other investments. And, after meeting the Aram high priestesses, I suspect that the Eustrim Aram embassy is going to be worthwhile in the future :)
    Keep up the good work Sierra. When I started playing TLS years ago, I admit my intentions where just to play another hentai game to have some "kinky time". Nowdays, it has become one of my favorite rpgs of all time, and I mean that. The volume of choice and options in which one can alter the game is astonishing. And while it is true many of them are tied to the narrative, the worldbuilding, character development and playing against cliché in lots of situations (the mc for instance) makes the story so enjoyable. I can't wait to see how it follows.
    So thank you for your good work, it has become one of my high times each month.

    1. Glad you liked the Elleani detail - it's definitely a bit trickier than my usual. Rest assured that the results are worse if you did copy people in New Givini or actively gamed the system to keep Elleani from knowing.

      Anyway, thanks for writing! It's encouraging to get messages from people who enjoy what I'm creating here. ^-^

  26. So, I doubt this is significant, but it's still possible to encourage Yelarel to bring in Andra to the synod even after the synod closes for discussion and before they reach their decision. Not a significant bug in any sense, but I thought you should know.
    Keep up the good work Sierra! TLS is the first H game that I find myself skipping over the sex scenes for.

    1. Glad you're enjoying the game!

      FYI, it's generally better to post in the thread about the newest release or there's a chance I'll miss your comment. Regarding Yelarel, I have fixed a ton of errors like this recently, so I'm honestly unsure about that one. Tell me if it's still present in the public release.
