TLS 0.46.0
- New section beginning the last chapter.
- Seven new skills.
- Investment list/ledger reorganized by region.
Not a whole lot to say on this one. It kicks off the last chapter with some long-awaited skill updates, a dungeon, and some plot. This is a stopping point on the way to some bigger updates, so I figured I'd keep rolling with the momentum.
That's all for now! Public update in a week.
Okay, Sierra, please don't take this the wrong way, but HOLY MOLY that was a quick update! Can't wait to see what you've got cooked up in this update!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's just an average to small update, but I thought it made sense to break here and I wanted to keep up momentum.
DeleteI have mixed felling about smaller update in a sense it mean less playtime this month but in a other it mean more update to come.
DeleteWhat i worry the most is the after TLS create a new game as good as this one requier a lot of work and a good idea. And until you give use a synopsis i will just build up the worry i think for new story of a autor it like for awaiting you first time with a new partenary but the new one is a sister of the old one and you awaiting for some similarity but in the same you don't want the same and the change need to be significant have one be black hair and the other red doe not mean anythink when you are in a black room for be notice the physical chnage need to be her be taller or smaller (in every way you could think) and the difference need to be not only phisical but psycological too if the two girl is the same type of persone it bad too.
But don't worry too much i mainly say that beccause it make me feel better .
If longer updates are your preference, you'll probably prefer the ones after this. I try to pick the length that makes the most sense for the content.
DeleteI know that whatever I create next will be immediately compared to TLS and that some people will leave. That's the way things go - all I can do is create the best thing I can. Like all my work, I'll try to do things from a new angle, but you'll see me drawing from similar creative wells.
I just want to say i was having a bad day and this turned it around. even its a same update its still always welcome. thank you and never feel pressured to push or rush yourself. we appreciate all that you do and stay healthy. refer to drink water and eat food i hear this is healthy for mammals.
ReplyDeleteGlad this could be a positive part of your day! And it's good of you to pay close attention to mammal health. ^-^
DeleteWoot! Glad to see updates coming. So if we're moving through with the final chapter, will there be a big jump in the numbering from, say, 0.51 to 1.0?
ReplyDeleteVersion 1.0 will be when the game is complete. Until then, it will just reflect the number of content updates.
DeleteMedium time player, first time comment: I love this game. I can get into detail why and I might over at lemma soft forums someday in form of a review (I would let you know here).
ReplyDeleteBut I have a question. Maybe it has an easy answer, I don't know. Is there a possibility to replay the game, skipping the fights? Because when I want to try other choices, the fights seem to be the biggest part of the replay.
Oh, hey, I'm glad to hear my Lemmasoft post reached anyone. Good to hear you enjoy my game!
DeleteThere's no default way to skip fights, but there are a variety of ways to alter the game. I know at least one person has worked on an insta-win mod, so you might want to ask at the wiki.
DAMN YOU! This game has ruined my views of royalty-free music! I was just watching a video about a Star Trek fan theory when suddenly I'm all like "Wait.... Gasm Falls?"
ReplyDeleteHaha, some of those tracks really get around. ^-^
DeleteIt took me about I wanna say roughly a Week? To get All the way to the end of the Erosian War. And by god that was probably one of the most hardest and choice heavy conflicts yet. Not to mention The Gawnfall Council and the bazillion things you could do and having to micromanage everything.
ReplyDeleteThe Summit and The first Conflict were really just tutorials of what's to come
And honestly.
As much as it did scare me
I did love learning that these wars now don't just effect NPCs in your world
but could seriously effect Player Characters. Going to try and avoid Spoilers but just knowing that if I didn't do enough I could have said goodbye to my hard earned minor characters?
oof i was sweating
Also.
I really do need to say this though but for some god forsaken reason.
One of the Final fights after the looping cherry tree forest. I can't pinpoint which one exactly sadly right now.
But it's technically the final Major fight you have with the Erosian Warriors that's the "boss fight" of that Area.
Really drove me crazy with how hard it was.
I thought I was just going crazy and that you made this fight accidentally too hard, and even did a separate save and put those characters to Max and I still got crushed over and over again.
lol I did end up going back to my legit save and finally managed to beat them. Of course the fight alone in which I finally won took like 20 minutes going back and forth with the Enemy Healer and Captain since they kept constantly out healing all my AOE Damage. And I learned that If I'm too defensive I just end up getting wrecked, and being Aggressive also ends up getting me wrecked.
just oof.
Sierra you put me back in my days where I used to Rush RPGS without grinding and end up getting stuck at mid level boss fights that I have to struggle a hour to beat as punishment.
My hat is off to you
But also secretly fuck you too xD
I am sadden that I believe I already reached the conclusion to the current updates.
so I hope for the day that I can finish this game in it's entirely
(I just really hope by that time I haven't forgotten everything again and have to do a 4th playthrough. This is a long ass game I'm currently standing at 140:49:12
And we still got a whole Final Chapter! Though to be real. I might replay it again anyways once you get the CGS out. I really wanna experience everything while being able to see the CGS. I do know that you won't be able to make a CG for every single scene that ends up happening. Even if you mainly only focused on the Erotic Scenes. I would still love to be able to see More cut outs of the characters. Maybe during battles and Intense Scenes. Maybe drawing out a scene set for the Summit and the Church Summit.)
Idk I just feel like there is WAY WAY too much content that sadly whoever is hired to do the Art would be completely swamp and unable to seriously do everything. But there is a lot of flavor that could be added. it doesn't even all have to be Major scenes. A lot of what happens in this game is stuff that you do outside the linear Path it tells you you got to do.
It dumps you in a Area. And you could just go right straight towards the exit and nothing can really stop you.
Also I really really been meaning to ask.
What was going on in your head when you did Orri
And wrote her lines?
I need to know xD
Reference.
twe wittle wuccubis girl twat thinks chu are mommy's bwst fwiend!
Glad you liked the war! I certainly tried to give this one some difficult choices and consequences.
DeleteI'm fairly proud of the last Erosian army fight. It's challenging, but it's very vulnerable to several different strategies.
The plan right now is to have CGs for every sex scene and some of the important other scenes. There are no plans to have art for every single event of the game.
Re: Orri - I enjoy writing succubus children. ^-^
Lol aww Sierra little much? that's adorable
DeleteI do actually wonder what would happen if Simon ever got the Succubi Preg during peace time how their kids would end up being, especially Qum since she's basically 1 giant adult little.
I do wonder though how the H scene CGS would end up working out, would they just be the usual text and background until a certain part of the H scene happens and then Poof here comes the CG?
Or would it be there since the beginning? And how would it Honestly end up being implemented since even your shortest H Scene is still a solid couple Paragraphs. Like would you shorten the Text box and try to make it more visual novel Or would you just give the option to remove the Text and Text box?
And lastly for the previous part of this. Would it be a Cg for change in the scene or just 1 Cg for every H event?
Lastly Yes
Trust me. Once you play every character you end up learning What makeup makes the best Party formation and others end up just being unused like The Succubi.
So Wars like this that force you to get out of your comfort zone to use characters you normally don't use
it is nice.
Each scene will get a CG that attempts to capture the spirit of the events. When this involves a significant change, it will appear midway. In other cases, it will be in the background the entire time. In some cases, the CG will evolve through variants as the scene changes (though don't expect every single position change).
DeleteThe text box won't be shortened. My sentences are already chopped up more than I'd like.
Alright then that makes sense, and yeah I have been noticing compared to your earlier ones the later ones although bigger do seem to be more simplified and cut down.
DeleteWell I would say just continue on with making your sentences as long as you would like and just give players a option to just temp hide the Text/Box so they could see the pic. And then push said button again to recontinue the scene and reading the text as per usual. But that does also beg to question will there be a new "Gallery" Option in your game? Or will you somehow make use of a NPC or one of Simon's Skills that allows him to re see the Cgs, like that one skill he has that allows him to actually already relive scenes. But would there be a version of that that just goes to the Cg?
Also this was just something I always did wonder, if you ever had a chance or opportunity that gave you the ability or the personal that was capable of composing Music that you could use that isn't just your average royalty copyright free music.
Would you ever do so?
Or do you think at this point of time
Said music and sounds have just become such a staple in your game that you don't think you really need to worry about polishing the game any further on that front?
The ability to hide the text box already exists, it's just disabled because it led to erroneous error reports. Once images are included, you can count on it coming back.
DeleteThe Reflect skill will include the images and right now I don't have plans for an image-only version of it.
Music is a lower priority for me, sorry. Based on the data I have, I don't think it drives much engagement, and some current players would be sad to see their favorites go.
That anvil getting hit in the Ardford theme is my jam man!
DeleteBest RPG game ever, I like the consequence driven choices in the game, makes for a more immersive and personal play through.
ReplyDeletethe game reminds me so much of Suikoden on PS1 console - but with sexual content. on my 5th play through, am trying really hard not to use Guides and such. thank the Goddess for "instant text" features.
Thanks, glad you're enjoying it!
