TLS 0.49.0
- Complete world overhaul for Chapter 5.
- Access to new nations: Erosia, Ghenalon, and Tatseni.
- Up to three new harem members (depending on your decisions).
- Several potential new staff members (heavily decision-dependent).
- Seven new plot scenes, plus four new affection scenes.
- Four new synergy skills.
- Three new Orcent conversations/events.
- Assorted minor retroactive changes. Yhilini civilians comment on the Thenoursan War, the monster patrol investment has some cosmetic NPCs, etc.
This one is going to spend two weeks on Patreon. Less for bug-fixing and more because I want to continue adding a little more content so the world really feels alive. But meanwhile, you can get a taste with all the screenshots and preview hints on forums, like LoK. Hope you enjoy!
Hey Sierra, would you be willing to discuss some ideas that a friend and I were spitballing for visual improvements to TLS?
ReplyDeleteHere's a couple quick overhauls of the prologue fortress we made:

Good colors theme and ambiance. Nicely done with the lighting and shadows. Though I don't think the graphics styles mesh well with the rest of the game, it is still a good work. The trees seems... a bit too symetrical, right ?
DeleteI'm very open to visual improvements, as I know that mapping is neither an interest nor a strength for me. I don't know that I would use the overhauled maps as they currently are, but I also don't want to offer unsolicited criticism to an earnest effort.
DeleteThe key feature we were pondering was the absence of lighting effects in TLS, here's a pic from a game we were prototyping, certainly Yarra would look positively angelic in that lighting~<3
Deletehttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_UFxZPXoAAzYG0?format=png&name=900x900
Please, critique away, after all thats just a quick test with the assets we have available to us. We don't want to change things completely from the ground up, just make everything look as spectacular as possible
DeleteIf you have Discord you can poke me at Chobittsu#3562 , this same username on Steam, or by email if you prefer at j.getty@hotmail.com
I'll contact you, but not right away. Pretty busy with bugfixes and improvements at the moment.
DeleteTake your time, I can't wait to see what your tinkering results in~<3

ReplyDeleteOh man, after seeing screenshots literally can't it to get to play this. Just got a question about one of the images, dunno if its spoiler or not; who is the last character in the Divine Shard screenshot? For the life of me I can't recognise her.....only possible idea I have is if you somehow got Mithyn on board (grey hair red dress, only match I can think of....), but that makes no sense since she's already a Goddess.....am I just being dumb and it's someone I've forgotten?
ReplyDeleteAnd why is Vhala in the lineup? I thought she was just along for the ride? Or do you get to convince her to give Woman-hood a chance in this update?
Vhala, you'll find out. The other sprite you haven't seen directly, but you could conceivably figure out their identity via extrapolation.
DeleteJudging from the dress and line-up, that should be Wendis.
DeleteI think I've found a teeny bug in older content.
ReplyDeleteThere's a conversation between Riala and Altina in the headquarters that was added relatively recently; when it's available, Altina will stand next to Riala. Talking to Altina triggers the conversation, but you can talk to Riala normally and enter the Research projection. When you exit the projection, Simon will be standing on the same tile as Altina.
Also, while on the subject of projections: are they just a player-friendly abstraction, a tool the characters are using, or something in-between?
There are some hints to the latter - characters mention them explicitly, and at one point during Synod minor issues phase, I think Lynine says something like "projection's left side, not our left", but it's a bit hard to imagine for me.
I have the perception that the projection happens in-game. There are too many instances where the party speak about it (at some point, someone mentions/asks to Simon that he knows about its uses already). Also, there are examples like Sheya's work with the layout of the palace that I can't imagine working without the projection system.
DeleteI'll move Altina over a space, sure.
DeleteThe projections exist in the characters' world. Imagine them like a magical 3D hologram, except it's usually inside their mind.
Zirantian road (while returning from Ziarantia) Qum & Robin still don't turn to Simon. Also Robin has a heart above her head, but Simon hasn't yet made his desicion about their relationship. Unless you wanted to show that she's glad to go back home ?
ReplyDeleteVaria asks the Eustrin ore store owner about weapon steel when we have already purchased it.
Eustrin Southern tunnels SouthEast Sx pillar location. If it's the last one, when you try to return to the main area (to the left) Yarra propose to return. If you refuse, when going back to that Sx pillar, she propose again to return.
Eustrin B6 dwarf just above the southern tunnels. After clearing it, he doesn't change his dialogue.
Aramite Hideout when the Aramites soldiers are not present. I've noticed that even if the fire is off, when approching it from above, Simon stays a tile away. Doesn't happens when you approach the fire from the others angles.
When you speak to the succubus child for the first time while being just left of the armor, she will start turning again... but not around the armor. Quitting the map fixes it, so it might be a rare one.
Talking to the succubus baker while being right to her make her boyfriend turn to the right.... and stay stuck while the conversation end.
After saving the Holy Legion, the teleportation mages arrives with the teleportation sound of the Doom King/Wynn instead of his own.
When Stark fight... try to let the Unsuccubi release a little of their pain, I think it would be better to let the priestress resume her previous position after letting Stark pass.
After seing the a**hole Antarion going to his speech after dragging Geoff's name in the mud, we are given the option to send an extra troop. If we chose to do so, these are Simon exacts words : “ I'll send an additional force. The situation in Aram could get messy.” But... we're in Ardoheim, right ?
For the fights in the pits in the Bloody Spire, maybe it would be better to leave corpses ? Since Orcent said to buid a mountain of bodies.
Bug first appears in the War Headquarters before the final assault on the Incubus Emperor but continues for the rest of the game, you can fill Yarra Sp bar with a mana potion. Possible reason why : Her mp bar is not at 0 but 50, thus allowing us to refill it.
Just after putting members in the three groups to fight the IE, we have the Ordeal of the Claw music who pop up for a split second, probably because the system of switching parties is similar.
When recovering the Shining Sword from the peak of the IE Castle, how about putting a glowing point ? I mean... it's shiny.
How do the goo works ? Do you eat it or put in on you ? Would be fun to see a snow... gooball fight.
Will we have a map prior to the Incubus A**hole invasion ?
We need to make Altina do something that only she can and that will impact the whole world. Make peoples regrets not taking Miss Optional !!!
In the War Headquarters, before sending Aka see the orcs, maybe put the harem around the table ? More immersive that way.
Aram aftermath, Megail : “Just because we're trying to to save lives here doesn't mean we should let them walk over us.” There is one too many “to”.
Qum Bomb : Could we mass produce it ? Would be nice for peace keeping. Not very effective against Incubus King enemy armies but for normal conflicts....
Talking to Robin in New Headquarters for the first time left her turned.
After seeing the conversation between Riala & Altina, Riala stay turned to the right.
Both return to their position when you change maps.
Talking to the running succubus child in Gasm Falls for the first time makes her running go astray after the end of the talk. Same bug as encoutered previously in Yhilin Palace. As always changing maps fixes it.
After getting a lecture from the guard of “Shy Girl”, both him and the manager stays turned to the right.
DeleteAfter getting yelled at when first entering the Imp Offices, the black imp stays turned to the right.
You can have the conversation between Uyae and Orcent before she joins the harem. Not sure it's a bug.
When we explore the Extradimensional space in the first scouting of the Tower, I think it would be better to play the reaction of Yarra the first time you open a disappering chest instead of being only the chest close to the entry point.
You can jump in/on the void next to the last blue & pink stairs https://imgur.com/a/7mFA2bR
New Yhilin : Lamia shop about the bed : “I just have the right to sell them !!!”. Shouldn't it be “I just got the right to sell them” ?
Maybe find a good time to stop telling us about the Godess of Magic apparence when interacting with the statues ? I mean, it's been a few years nom.
During her wedding, Janine can walk on the benches (on the empty places)
During Ardan Sucession Crisis in New Givini, when you see the confrontation between Bhakan and Fanran, it would be better if they were already facing eachother rather than turning when you comes in.
During the assasination atempt on Tyna, make the others peoples in the library run ? I don't think too many people stay calm when demons appears and try to kill them. Also when Kalant kill the two others demons when we chose Support, he... flickers for a second before collapsing.
Lecherous priestress quest : conversation while being under illusion after seeing the priestress come out of one of the rooms. Riala : “Having said that, we're lucky that her magic is so weak, and I couldn't pull this off with anyone actually skilled.” “as I couldn't” ?
While talking to Kara maybe mentions earlier that Orcent came with us ? I don't think Ardoheim allows us teleportation.
Ardford cathedral. What the hell did the girl on the left did for having a confession this long ? Talking about it, it would make more sense to change some of the worshippers. I don't think they prayed 4 years without moving from their chair.
When entering the Ardford castle, with the camera moving forward, I've noticed the characters stops. It would be better if they continue to move forwards
After engaging with Jhenno and striking a deal, you can still talk to Kara about it.
Dunno if it's just me, but when we enter the Twisted Space to talk to Alonon, there is a second Robin and a Riala before us. They disappears after the cinematic. Also the transformation special effect (similar to teleportation) happens on the Robin on the upleft.
I suggest to change the sprite of Robin during the transformation, while it masks her.
After the Lucy-Orcent-Kara talk, when talking to Orcent, he first says how happy he is with Kara, and then continue about Grubbak leadind Tak'kan. Feels a bit out of place.
When using Support Allies, Healing Kiss & Cleansing Wink outside battles, mana is drained even when all damages have been healed.
While revisiting Delgar forest, I noticed that there was a bull skeleton which was used as Varia 's ambush. So, does it means that most of the wildlife in Sult is similar to our world ?
DeleteAfter finishing the 2nd infestation in Eustrin (Southwestern tunnels), the dwarf is turned left.
After the war at the Bloody Spire, there is an orc soldier near the pillars who ask to give him a moment. What does he do ? Even after the Erosian war he still haven't finished.
Have there been others great conflicts in the Tower in the past ? Since the Tower is connected to reality, I wonder how did it shape the world. How much did it influence the people collective unconscious ?
Have we made progress on “materialising” stuff from the Tower ?
The eyepatch of Orcent gives him “enhanced vision”. What does it do specifically ? See-through illusions ? 360° vision ?
Zirantian cutscene during the Fucklord invasion : there is a yellow filter on the screen. Remnant of the Kanese Tower ?
During the wait in Aram Tower, Altina propose to use a shelter magic that need modification. Orilise says “Hmm... a divine to sexual modification... that's no mean feat, but it's an intriguing idea.” But Altina is an arcane mage, not a succubus, so I don't really see why they need to convert it into sexual magic.
Conversation after Estaven fight with Robin : Simon says to Esthera that they've finished the Yhilin ritual, making it 2 out of 4, but after she leaves Robin says : “Let's finish the ritual here and see about assisting the others.” Furthermore, after choosing who to help from the magical disruptions, we see Robin getting healed by Qum. Above them, Vera is still reading. I think she might have more important places to be at that moment.
Attack on the Headquarters Fuani talks with an ex-Unsubbus. Would make more sense if it was with the elite in charge of the defenses. Also nobody react when Little Girl appears. I mean, for Yarra and co it's understable though they could be a little surprised that she can come to the real world, but aren't Fuani and the ex-Unsuccubus a bit startled that a little girl appears out of nowhere
Fight at the Headquarters, Yarra : “We're making a pile of sexy bodies...”. Could you put sprites of defeated ennemies around ?
Fight between Simon & Fucklord after Sabitha fight : Tower filter is off.
Harem giving power in the pool during Fucklord fight, could you make the ray of light permanent ? I don't think Simon can stop receiving it for a moment
When Simon returns from the fight, could you make everyone turn towards him ?
When talking to Lynine after Fucklord Invasion, she and Simon go alk on the wall outside. She appers with a slight delay.
I may have found a potential bug. If you (somehow) open the New Givini Ruin before the Fucklord Invasion and level up, you could lose points because the game thinks you cheated.
DeleteIf you tail a Dwaregast and block it against a wall, it will not turn and attack you. You are forced to engage yourself.
Poor Tertia though. I can understand how eternity can make apathetic. Millenias of memories, endless loss... She could have turned worse. She's literally the incarnation of a star. Such immense power comes with equal restrictions. Mythrin older sister “who doesn't care”.
Just noticed but Estaven did have good instincts with magic. Discovering the nature of the Chosen and Ginasta without previous hints is no easy feat. Also harboring doubts about Antiala just after one bout with the Mother.
I just realised, but we did a better job than all the meeting sites with all our efforts for acceptance and healthy relationships ^^
A conversation between Esthera and Tertia would be interesting. Both are tired from this world, maybe they can help each other ?
Meeting to do : Ralph, Ralke, Lil Ralphy (halfling)
Gifts of Endel, Aka : “Knives are the way to MY heart !!!” Doki Doki Literature Club Yuri flashback
Even though it would be detrimental, I kinda wish that Simon is revealed as the Doom King. It's one if my kink when the bad guy is revealed as saving the world ^^ Simon nickname suit him. He's indeed becoming the ruler of the Fate of the entire world.
The shards were once fused to an allmighty being, long ago, then they broke into opposites forces. Maybe that allmighty being became schyzophrenic due to spending the eternity alone.
Nice Little Girl question about Trin. I kinda want to say that she remade the contract, but it's true that I've come to love her. She's always true to herself, and she (kinda) cares for us. It's cute.
Forgot who said that but it's true that I would pay a leg or two to see a discussion between Tertia and Alonon.
Blademaster guild. Let the poor dude have his wine. We have some in Stineford now.
It has a different feels when you play the game for the story than while hunting bugs.
Things to do : add more funny guards, report the lusty one of the academy, help Feroholm, save Elleani, Esthera, Neranda, Ivala & probably Zelica, talk more to Ginasta, Tertia, Mestan & Alonon, raise the lifespan of the succubi race and help the Beardies not getting extinct, help Relondo concubines, help Sister Beatrice and recruit her, kill/estropiate/at least deal with Agnan
I recently discovered that TLS is not the only story where I apprecite politics while reading the manga Kingdom. It seems that I like politics when it's used to help people. It means a lot that I hate real life politics...
The fact that the Chosens are ascended divine magic actually make lots of sense. They have insane lust to counterbalance their hight purity beause being humans at the base, if they end up entirely of lust or entirely of purity, they would immediately collapse and disappear. Furthermore their inteligence is forcefully decreased to prevent them from discovering the truth since when they do thay become so instable that they dies (like the Chosen at Stineford)
DeleteExp lore theory : When you defeat the ennemy, it means his magic cycle is disrupted. So if it 's disrupted, it means that it scatter through the wounds into the air and is absorbed by the winner's magic cycle. Since it is others mana, it needs time to be integrated and stay dispersed in the body until an high enough concentration is reached. When it is done it gathers and join the magic cycle (level up)
Mana lore theory : Mana is diffused in the air, there are place when there is much and others less, there is ley lines, and other when it concentrates, creating whirlpools. If there is enough concentration, could it cristalises ?
Throne idea :
The Stenai King's one, but with black wood and a taller chair back. Besides the description suit Simon : “Though we have grander thrones, the ruler traditionnaly sits on a umble white one to show that he serves the nation.”
Or one made from rock and steel (dark grey/black, rough, no cushions) with a bit of gold, size of the Erosian ruler. Inspired by the description of the sword of Arduin in the book “The Last Orc” by Sylvanna de Mari : “No bas-relief, no gemstone, no furnish or decoration. Only stone and steel. And a molding of gold to remember the nostalgia and pain.”
After first entering Reletina chambers, she's turned on the right. Quitting the map fixes it.
When having Balia conversation after finishing orc research, she doesn't turn after it ends. Quitting etc.
Talk with Annah about prostitution by Carina : “But you didn't, putting your efforts in stamping out prostitution, and you mostly failed at that.” Annah :”Liar ! I've nearly puridied Stineford of such filth !” shouldn't it be “Lies“ ?
You can learn that a new Deputy priestress will be elected before night of day 1 and conversation with Sarai by talking to the Zirantian representative.
Ardford military head quarters guy at the desk “Wonder if we gonna keep this large of an army with the Incubus Emperor gone.” It's been a while.
Ivalan bank longest transaction ever from the sister on the left.
Talking to Ralph about recruitment after Simon turns to ask the barkeeper, he doesn't turn back to Ralph.
Talking to Andra for the first time, Yelarel turns to us, doesn't turn back.
Purity standard discussion Annah : “But you ARE suggesting we lower our standards and allow priestress who have lain with men.” Laid ?
Keranii, same discussion : “I believe Ivala called me to a life of celibacy, but there would be nothing wrong with a life where she called me to marry a godly man.” Good man ?
Suggestion : have Herin and Kaskia portraits in simulation becomes more happy and sad based on their support.
Maybe put the conversation about the strange gold the first time we loot it, and not only in the Tower Mine ?
Unify all the rains for Vhala & unify Calming and Cleansing aura for Carina
Talking to Reletima after talk with Renna :”The cake is for me. Don't take any.” Put a big cake half eaten on the table, it will make us hate her more.
Wynn and Entity first conversationn could SSW turn upwards to talk to Wynn face to face ?
Could you make it so we can't have the discussions between Entity and Riala before returning from the abyss and holy plane ?
Maybe make the bed in Tower headquarters usable ?
Stineford Chapter 5 “If none wants to start a war we are done here.” After saying that I think the Doom King could teleport, it's more fitting of his character
Could we change the pools statues ?
Discussion in Silver stump with Kalant, I suggest to move him to the free side of the table.
DeleteCan we have more friendship between Uyae and Altina ? They are very similar. Naive and who got deeply hurt in the past.
While escaping the Hole, could Dari talk about the Unpeople a 2nd time ? If we triggered the conversation before freeing her ?
Could we get Ghenalese orcs unique sprites ?
Orc priest portrait is blurry. Anything we can do to help with that ?
Intervention of the Mother in the fight between Simon and the Fucklord : maybe make her appears when the green flash cover the screen ? It would be better I think.
Discussion with Sarai at start of day 4, Vhala and Robin are visible. I think it would be better to make them appear after mini blackout.
I think Tertia sprite will need to be worked on a bit. She's a little... blurry. Also the white dress doesn't match the portrait.
At Gawnfall, you can get support from Esmera on Eustrin before going to the projection and knowing the issue.
When Yarra talks to Alonon, I think she says a bit of text she already said before (the one with trusting older succubi and the Incubus King on top being a madman)
Feroholm church purity priestress conversation with Riala, Orilise and Lynine : “Well, clearly we should come to you when we want to develop our research into purity magic to push our knowledge to further heights.” I've already done the research.
Noticed that when Simon used King's Aura on Vhala, it doesn't heal her, it' noted “Immune”. However, she get Sp. Shouldn't it be the reverse ? It should work since it uses “normal” mana too.
Stineford Cathedral bridge, you can't move freely between the two of them, I tested others bridges, you can do it just fine
After 2nd trip from Stenai discussion between Sarai and Entity : “Nice job bagging a High Priestress by the way.” We didn't put Sarai in a bag though? When teleporting in the Aram tower the sand filter in on the first plan.
Will Andra heal ? She was a b**ch and I didn't like her, but nobody deserve to live in such pain and hatred of themselves.
Will Simon soon be able to project his essence to form an hologramm ? Would be way too useful to transmit/receive informations and orders. If Trin and him do realise the perfect split, if Simon2 experience death, does the Simon1 feel the same ?
Leveling up enhance your physique. To which point ? Can you survive a boulder of a few tons by only relying on your physique (no armor or magic) ? I think only Stark can do it. Same for IK shards do the same, what is their physical limit ?
Aka means red in Japanese. Did you know it ?
Is there telekinesy, gravity control, wind magic ? It's for the flying airships, how do they work ? Cna we apply the principle to people ? Would be fun to fly freely like Superman.
How does the shields works ? With magic cycle from the body ? Magical particles in the air ? Ley lines ?
Will we get Shield upgrade from Ulrissa and Nice Little Girl ?
I though that the lion statues were excusively for the use of the royal family since we couldn't buy ne. So why are they at Gawnfall ?
Do they have more or less natural disasters than us ?
Are there martial magic users capable of cladding themselves with conjuring magic ?
What's the name of our castle ?
Have Feremina talked with Janine ?
Are there prosthetic arms and legs ? Could we use magical armors parts for that ?
Can we convert cinetic energic into magic ?
Guy selling Seer crystals : will there be a use in the future for him ? If not at Chapter 4, I think he leveraged his advantage enough
What are Simon shard other uses ? He can put others in a sexual stasis and disperse drunkards.
DeleteDo mana poisonning or mana madness exist ? How do they even restore their magic cycle ? From absorbing the ambiant energy ?
Does anti-magic or anti magic zone exist ? Does entering it would put a person life in danger or do they need to exhaust their magic cycle first ? Can their magic cycle be drain by their mere presence ? How does magical armors reacts when put in such a zone ?
Tentacle update news ?
When will our understanding of Zirantia history will be useful ?
Can we (theorically) create energy weapons like Ginasta ? Or imbue energy in our swords to deal with pesky ghosts ? Simon could theorically do it, it's like the shadow tendrils, just directed on his sword.
What are the orc lust/purity ratio ?
How many moons ? What color ?
I like the reference in the Gathering with the thief with high voice and something in the ocean that's not a continent. The moving fortress is probably a ginormous tortoise with a city on its shell. Hope we can become friends with her !!! Theorically with strong enough barrier and by transforming the water pressure into mana for shielding and breathing, could the tortoise dive ? The new Atlantide... Cool...
For the inventory... How do we carry so much ? Magic box ? Space magic ?
If in the laws of TLS purity = longevity, how can IK shards grant immortality ?
Corruption what's the principle behind it ? Does it modifies DNA and cause tumors or mess with magic cycle ? It creates wastelands so it's okay if it drains vitality but how does it explain the apparition of corrupted plants and monsters ?
What's the principles behind monsters reproduction ? Dungeons ? Formed by the world ? Corruption ? Can they evolve ?
When we kill demons, do we kill their physical envelopes or do we “kill” them ?
How does Qum knows Tanurak has no face ? Maybe Ulrissa told them.
How was Ginasta chosen by the Tower ? At random ? By her bloodline ? By Fate ?
Lots of minor shards were created from the Fucklord. Why not make more Incubus King equipment or reinforce the Doom Armor ?
How does the magical armors works ? With magic or clockwork machinery ? Will we ever see them in action ? Why aren't they used more on the battlefield if they're so strong ?
If left alone, could the technology catch up or surpass magic ? In a few centuries of course.
What is the highest lvl reached in this world ?
How does alert magic works ? Telepathy ? Magical senses tingling ?
Will we visit the Knife one day ? Seems like a cool place.
How does the potions works ?
Will we be able (one day) to reproduce the fusion Simon/Orcent with Qum ? I really wanna see her intuitive view of magic. We already seen some aspects of it (Qum bomb, Tower layer), but I still wanna see the world through her eyes. Would be waaayyy too much fun ^^
What are Wynn actual capacities with memories magic ? She can read and alter them, but can she wipe them, make them think they're another person ? Under what category of magic is she referenced ?
During purity standards vote, Bertricia doesn't have an oppinion ?
Is there a reason why Annah is so angry at sexuality ? I don't think she's like Andra.
Will we ever see the interior of the Stineford cathedral ? And return to the Academy library ?
What is the stone in Ardford Embassy ?
I don't remember if Elleani knows that we are the Doom King. Did we tell her ?
Will we be able to have another talk with the open minded priestress of Remasta ? It's nice meeting people ready to think outside the box.
Played from the beggining to the end of Stineford update on version 47.2
Played the Eustrin update on 48.2
Sorry for dumping all of this on you at once.
Hello! I appreciate your attention to detail, but I'm currently swamped by heavy bug reports and improvements for version 0.49.x. I will make my way through your list in time, and will try to answer non-rhetorical questions then, but I won't be able to do it promptly.
DeleteDon't worry, I didn't expect you to do so immediately. Keep up the good work !!!
DeleteSo? Any news?
DeleteOkay, I believe I've covered everything I intended to. There were quite a few reports of NPCs not turning back at the end of the conversation - except in situations where this doesn't make sense, such as guards or shopkeepers, I'm not concerned about this. Like the baker who is just looking at his succubus girlfriend instead of in a different direction.
Delete>Zirantian road (while returning from Ziarantia) Qum & Robin still don't turn to Simon. Also Robin has a heart above her head, but Simon hasn't yet made his desicion about their relationship. Unless you wanted to show that she's glad to go back home ?
I checked this scene the first time and felt they didn't need to turn. The heart icon can mean various kinds of happiness.
>When you speak to the succubus child for the first time while being just left of the armor, she will start turning again... but not around the armor. Quitting the map fixes it, so it might be a rare one.
This is a flaw built into the engine, so there's no need to report them.
>After saving the Holy Legion, the teleportation mages arrives with the teleportation sound of the Doom King/Wynn instead of his own.
I'd correct this one, since I do want to standardize teleportation animations, but do you have the specific map/event?
>Bug first appears in the War Headquarters before the final assault on the Incubus Emperor but continues for the rest of the game, you can fill Yarra Sp bar with a mana potion. Possible reason why : Her mp bar is not at 0 but 50, thus allowing us to refill it.
I can't duplicate this.
>Aram aftermath, Megail : “Just because we're trying to to save lives here doesn't mean we should let them walk over us.” There is one too many “to”.
Which exact map is this line on?
>Qum Bomb : Could we mass produce it ? Would be nice for peace keeping. Not very effective against Incubus King enemy armies but for normal conflicts....
Qum needs to be involved, so it would be difficult to mass produce.
>Lecherous priestress quest : conversation while being under illusion after seeing the priestress come out of one of the rooms. Riala : “Having said that, we're lucky that her magic is so weak, and I couldn't pull this off with anyone actually skilled.” “as I couldn't” ?
Riala is talking about two separate factors.
>When using Support Allies, Healing Kiss & Cleansing Wink outside battles, mana is drained even when all damages have been healed.
Engine limitation.
>After the war at the Bloody Spire, there is an orc soldier near the pillars who ask to give him a moment. What does he do ? Even after the Erosian war he still haven't finished.
The implication was meant to be that he's remembering fallen comrades.
>The eyepatch of Orcent gives him “enhanced vision”. What does it do specifically ? See-through illusions ? 360° vision ?
Anti-illusion spells and enhanced precision in combat.
>I may have found a potential bug. If you (somehow) open the New Givini Ruin before the Fucklord Invasion and level up, you could lose points because the game thinks you cheated.
I don't think this is possible with legitimate investments.
>Could we change the pools statues ?
DeleteI'm reluctant to return to the HQ and add even more customization after it's taken up so much time.
>When Yarra talks to Alonon, I think she says a bit of text she already said before (the one with trusting older succubi and the Incubus King on top being a madman)
If you have screenshots of both lines, I'll look into it.
>Leveling up enhance your physique. To which point ? Can you survive a boulder of a few tons by only relying on your physique (no armor or magic) ? I think only Stark can do it. Same for IK shards do the same, what is their physical limit ?
Most fighters with enough personal magic could survive a boulder impact, yes - note that the game includes some boulder spells. Stark is rare in two ways: regeneration and ability to survive despite the destruction of his body. You couldn't get either of those by leveling, but many warriors are capable of shrugging off physical or magical attacks.
>Aka means red in Japanese. Did you know it ?
Not intentional.
>Is there telekinesy, gravity control, wind magic ? It's for the flying airships, how do they work ? Cna we apply the principle to people ? Would be fun to fly freely like Superman.
Wind magic has already appeared. Gravity magic is rare and highly theoretical. Telekinesis doesn't exist as such.
>Do they have more or less natural disasters than us ?
Similar.
>Have Feremina talked with Janine ?
Yes, and you'll eventually see a bit more with them.
>Are there prosthetic arms and legs ? Could we use magical armors parts for that ?
There are primitive prosthetics that are technology appropriate. Magical prosthetics are theoretically possible, but not in common usage - a few Yhilini mages or wealthy people in Ghenalon might have them. Succubi have some impressive prosthetic technology for (sexually) important body parts.
>Can we convert cinetic energic into magic ?
This would be part of some common spells, but it's not a simple 1:1 convesion.
>Do mana poisonning or mana madness exist ? How do they even restore their magic cycle ? From absorbing the ambiant energy ?
Hmm, I don't have anything in my notes about mana poisoning/madness. Cases related to it might exist, but it's not a major part of the world. Mana is fairly common in the environment, but the body's ability to harness it is limited. Hence the need for rest, special techniques, or concentrated mana in an easily consumable form.
>Does anti-magic or anti magic zone exist ? Does entering it would put a person life in danger or do they need to exhaust their magic cycle first ? Can their magic cycle be drain by their mere presence ? How does magical armors reacts when put in such a zone ?
There are no true anti-magic zones outside those created by certain rare catastrophes. Such zones don't drain a person/spell/artifact but they wouldn't be healthy for them in the long term. For example, resting within them wouldn't restore the body in the natural way.
>Can we (theorically) create energy weapons like Ginasta ? Or imbue energy in our swords to deal with pesky ghosts ? Simon could theorically do it, it's like the shadow tendrils, just directed on his sword.
Yes, it can happen. Note that Nalili uses an energy weapon under special conditions in one of the Orgasmic Empire training fights. Swords being imbued with natural magic is the reason that they do any damage to spirits, and they can do more in cases like Aka's Fire Stab.
>What are the orc lust/purity ratio ?
DeleteSimilar to succubi.
>For the inventory... How do we carry so much ? Magic box ? Space magic ?
Neither. Consider it an abstraction of the party's ability to store stuff overall.
>If in the laws of TLS purity = longevity, how can IK shards grant immortality ?
Elemental lust might reduce lifespan, but the shards are a fundamental part of the world.
>Corruption what's the principle behind it ? Does it modifies DNA and cause tumors or mess with magic cycle ? It creates wastelands so it's okay if it drains vitality but how does it explain the apparition of corrupted plants and monsters ?
There are several different concepts that people in the game lump together into a single label. But it wouldn't modify DNA; at most it would have an epigenetic impact.
>What's the principles behind monsters reproduction ? Dungeons ? Formed by the world ? Corruption ? Can they evolve ?
It depends. The animal-like monsters, such as wolves and spiders, are natural creatures that feed off magic in the same way that people do, which means they also reproduce naturally. Magical creatures or Tower entities are separate cases.
>When we kill demons, do we kill their physical envelopes or do we “kill” them ?
Unless the demon has been manifested in some unusual way, destroying the manifestation destroys them completely.
>How was Ginasta chosen by the Tower ? At random ? By her bloodline ? By Fate ?
No comment.
>How does the magical armors works ? With magic or clockwork machinery ? Will we ever see them in action ? Why aren't they used more on the battlefield if they're so strong ?
It's magic, not clockwork. They're expensive and somewhat inflexible overall.
>If left alone, could the technology catch up or surpass magic ? In a few centuries of course.
The inhabitants of the world don't view them as separate phenomena and they would develop together.
>How does the potions works ?
They're all concentrated magic in a digestible form.
>What are Wynn actual capacities with memories magic ? She can read and alter them, but can she wipe them, make them think they're another person ? Under what category of magic is she referenced ?
I'm not sure what you mean by the last question. Wynn is a dilettante at memory magic, as she is with most types. She's skilled enough to alter memories, but creating new ones or completely changing a person is beyond her.
>Will we ever see the interior of the Stineford cathedral ? And return to the Academy library ?
I don't really have any meaningful content planned for either place.
>Will we be able to have another talk with the open minded priestress of Remasta ? It's nice meeting people ready to think outside the box.
Maybe eventually. She's not an important NPC, I just wanted to show some diversity of character types.
Apologies for the spacing, but that's how it converted from the editor.

ReplyDeleteYou know your game is good when shitty adds begins to appears XD
DeleteYeah, I've gotten a lot more spam lately for some reason.
DeleteI have found a bug during chapter 3, when you get to Zirantia and investigate Fuani's problem. When you go and talk to Allue and Alluon, you get the talk of Uyae/Simon with them from the Fucklord war, not about Fuani's problem.
ReplyDeleteShould be fixed in 0.49.2.
DeleteI have a question, I am currently replaying the game, will this bug cause problems or it is just a visual bug with no further consequences?
DeleteI'd recommend playing that section in an older version.
Deletescene replay crashes when you scroll to biyues wing thing
ReplyDeleteLittle bit of a sequence break problem... in the Ch 5 Aka knife quest... it's entirely possible to clear out the mine before getting the quest to make her knife. In which case, it's impossible to complete the quest.
ReplyDeleteNevermind, figured it out. More of an indicator that the quest can't be finished yet wouldn't go amiss, however.
