    1. Unsure. There's some writing I need to wrap up, but the real question is when I'll take some time to finish Once Ever After.

    2. thank you for replying, I think the next update of TLS will be important, for the "hints you give,dont stress yourself very much!

    3. There's actually some question about what content the next update will cover, as it could focus on Eustrin resolution content or finally include the CG art.

      Delete
    4. In that case, if you want to do two things at same time, do what is easy for you and focus on what is important,for me the creation stuff is more stressful and need more focus than the coding stuff, but it is up to you. take care of your broom!!

    Gotta say though, those weird chosen/non-chosen/whatevers that disappear after what looks like a glitchy conversation freaked me out more than once. XD

    1. Same. I knew there would be consequences for that one, but did it anyways. I swear, once the game is complete I intend to figure out what my ideal ending WOULD be, and then work backwards through the game to figure out what choices would need to be made to achieve it.

  5. Any idea when the steam version will update? Thanks

  6. According to the post on the LoK forums: https://legendofkrystal.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4691&p=796244&cache=1#p796244

    we can now utilize the shards we've gathered. I can't seem to figure out how to trigger this. I completed the quest "a new life", but the sequence of events in the update seems to stop there. Am I missing something?

    1. wow, nvm. Found it a comically short period of time after asking. It is the last option when talking to Riala.

  7. Thanks as always for your hard work!

    Must admit that while I love that my choices actually matter in this game, the min-maxer in me hurts deeply from seeing all of the content I cannot access due to bad(?) investments early on, haha. Not to mention I got a whopping 0 our of 3 new party members, whoo!

    Anyway, small bug I found in Ryoken: the damaged (torii) gates in the center of town are impassible. Minor inconvenience at worst, but still.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. All of that content will still be available in future updates, of course!

      The bug in Ryoken should be fixed next update.

  8. Damn, I know I'm probably in the minority, but this is the first first update I was disappointed with.

    I have waited all eternity to create a new body for my ex-wife (a small note: the marriage vow is only "until we are separated by death" so she is no longer Simon's wife.) and when it finally happened, the result was anticlimactic. The scene was short, offering no possibilities (I was hoping I could somehow influence the final look of her body. Hair, eyes, body type etc.) and as a result virtually nothing has changed. She is still abomination (I thought that the reason they did this whole thing was to "purify" her spirit form and restore humanity), but now she has an anchor to the physical body.

    This is not how I really imagined closing one of the most important story lines :-(

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it. All I can really say is that this isn't the closing of Wendis's storyline, just a major step.

      Delete
    2. Do not apologize.

      You cannot please everyone and you should not even try. There are always people who are dissatisfied with something. But until now, I was completely satisfied with everything :-)

      Anyway, harem and concubines are one thing, but what about the problem with multiple wives? Janine probably wouldn't be too excited to see Simon's ex-wife rose from the grave. I'm really curious about the conversation between those two :D

      Also, I have the hope that my abomination ex-wife won't be my "bound" main wife. My empire will need a queen, but this psycho freak is at the bottom of my list.

      Delete
    3. There is a conversation between Wendis and Janine if you go and speak to Janine in the Yhilini royal chambers after rescuing Wendis from the Deep Tower.

  11. Sorry about the deleted comments, hoped I could just edit the previous ones but I guess not.

    Don't know if I should post this here, been playing the game for a while but it's the first time I actually post a comment here.

    I was replaying through the game to deal with me having copied Reletima and just because I enjoy it and have stumbled upon a pretty big problem.

    If Nalili is dead at the moment you, during the Erosian War, leave section with the blue and red demons where you can get the Demonic Seed the first time, then when you're supposed to start the Sylvan Grove section you just get a Game Over.

    1. Yeah, these slip through sometimes. I'll add a line giving Nalili HP so that it won't happen. Thanks!

  12. Is the update live on Steam? It still seems to have 49.0 listed as the latest update, at least on my end.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It should be live. I'm not sure where you're looking, but 0.49.0 was never a Steam version. It should be 0.48.3 before and 0.49.4 now.

    2. No worries, I'm just a dumbass who couldn't read. Sorry!

  13. Hey, just wanted to say I’m loving the game! I haven’t gotten through all the content so far, still chilling up in chapter 3, but I noticed that I don’t have the option of choosing scenes with Varia after I’ve maxed her relationship points. Does she only have one or is something wrong? Oh and I’m playing the Steam version if that matters

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Glad you're enjoying the game! In certain cases, characters may have other requirements to unlock further scenes. Depending on where exactly you're talking to Varia, I can't confidently say what the exact requirement is. But I can tell you that Varia should have two and that the Steam version should be the same.

      Delete
    2. Oh I see. I’m speaking to dominated Varia in the Yhilin palace, after we came back from Zirantia. Not sure what else I need to do though.

  14. Return from Eustrin, right guard entrance «BRING FANCY GUARD TO EROSIA !!!» Ummm, we did ?
    Lol Ralke XD I believe it
    We don't use the communication sphere much. How do they work by the way ?
    One of the first things I've done when I've launched the game is go see Nice Little Girl to have a talk since it's been a while. Sad to see her gone.
    The sfx when doing the forging of Wendis body almost made me fall of my chair. I expected a long processus with cutscenes like with Dari, and instead we get a sfx who don't fit with the rest of the game and it's finished. A bit short for my taste. And the harem didn't come to see it ? It's an important moment after all.
    SSW scene «But in this form, I wont have any back pain, and they won't jiggle around when I run.» It's a cheat !!! So many woman would kill for this.
    Wonder what Ginasta would say when meeting SSW. Is she immortal due to her link to the Tower ?
    «Wh-what the fuck is that ?» «Tentacles ?» «Wait, take me too !!!» XD What's even more funny is that Yarra is pulled in last Hahahaha
    Harem ledger «Abomination (but she 's hot)» Stop you're killing me XD
    Emergency divine shard. If we can save Esthera... She'll probably need it asap.

    Tertia said that her ceremony enhance Simon in an abstract way. How exastly does it work ?

    One day, we will kill the fucking mold. Probably with a lot of research. It's abnormal than this thing have lived for so many years when it's being harass...cleaned ever day.

    Soon the succubi couple in Stineford will be able to afford their house. I hope at least

    By the way is Renna an halfling ?

    1. When talking to an ogre on the side, I noticed that his sprite is moving more quickly than when talking to him face to face. His legs looks like a frog (I don't think they can support such a mass when built like this), his hands move more and he seems unhappy.

      Could we use the livings armor spells for the statues in Gushing Qim ? That would make a succubus happy.

      Blonde succubus holy knight portrait is blurry

      Bloody Spire How the hell did that orc get up there ? …... Well he's happy I guess ^^

      Weird girl in Cee kan. She moves like Dari. Hmmm.... Gonna keep an eye on her. Wait, there another one in Theltiar ? We're being invaded !!!!

      Cee'kan Boat 2 years later and they are still stuck ? How did they survive ?

      Tarran'kan still no music in the Illustrious Booze shack ? And the poor orc still can't enter his house ?

      When exiting the Ancient Ruin, the music of the dungeon still plays until we quit the map.

      When visiting Elleani, how about positionning the brothers before we arrive, instead of making them apper suddedly out of nowhere ?

      Elleani estate. Hope that the next update is to save her. We've made her wait waayyy too long.
      If the shielded area will not be used, how about making that talk disappear ?

      Sarai tower “ A purification bassin... Sarai is laying it on pretty thick.” I never really understood this phrase.

      Denmiel if someone have began to sell slime again,how about putting them back in their fence ?

      If the harvest are low in Theliar, how about changing the tree sprites to have less fruits on them ?

      Anything we can do to reduce the amount of adultery in the Garden of Steam ? I feel a bit restless since we couldn't get all of the wicked users of the Gilded Lily. By the way, good idea to bait a**holes with a succubus disguised as a maid. But what do they do if a true kind person decides to help her? He will take her home and the guards will put him in jail, a bit harsh, right ? So how do they make the difference ?

      Grrrrrr Antarion... Really hope we can kill that bastard. Soon.

      Where the Magekillers ? I wanna complete my collection.

      Tanurak is annoying. Messing with Givini “new generation”, increasing Aram heat, reducing crops in Sylvan region, forcing Biyue scene (well it's the only thing I'm thankful for)...

      We need to help the Eustrin Priestress to return.

      Guh, this scene with Biyue... I know she's not likely to become a harem member, but I want her to be one so much....

      Since Wynn inhabit with us, why don't we take the books at her home ?

      I like that when we make Chosen disappear when talking to them nobody reacts. It's normal to see people vanish out of existence nowadays XD

      Tatseni weaponry “You're not going to buy anything, are you ?” -talks to him again- “BEHOLD, THE WEAPONRY OF TATSENI !” Lol

      Tatseni kid looking at water “Water is so boring. Water, water, water every day.” What have you done to him !!!

      Hope we see more of Tatseni someday.

      I quite liked this illusionary forest in Kaant. There's diversity.

      New sprites for Ghenalese citizens ?

      So we still don't know Ulrissa age.... I don't think we will ever learn, right ? A lady must keep a part of mystery.

    3. Haha, thanks for all your thoughts on the update. ^-^

      >Tertia said that her ceremony enhance Simon in an abstract way. How exastly does it work ?

      No comment.

      >By the way is Renna an halfling ?

      Yes, she is.

      >Sarai tower “ A purification bassin... Sarai is laying it on pretty thick.” I never really understood this phrase.

      Carina means that Sarai is going overboard in making her headquarters seem very pure/holy.

      >By the way, good idea to bait a**holes with a succubus disguised as a maid. But what do they do if a true kind person decides to help her? He will take her home and the guards will put him in jail, a bit harsh, right ? So how do they make the difference ?

      The guards don't just imprison them immediately, so the succubi have time to feel out the person. If a truly kind person tried to help, they might get a reward. ^-^

      >New sprites for Ghenalese citizens ?

      I don't have very many resources for Ghenalon.

    4. Wait, if the dragon-people lived in the Tower, why is one of their skeleton in the Aram desert ?

    5. In Eustrin, when talking to the dwarf to choose where to go, when selecting "Royal Tunnels", you are teleported at the entrance of the guest chambers and not on the teleportation crest.

  15. Thanks for another great update. It was really nice to get such reception as in Tatseni at last. And bigger harem is also always a good thing.
    All in all, it was rather relaxing experience, so are we going next to Renthnor to balance it? ;-)

    As usual, I noticed only very minor things that could make the game polished even more:
    1. In comparsion with plot scenes, most repeatable sex scenes don't have a black background, though scenes with the earliest characters got them and latest scene with Qum in Ferholm church does not. And they look better when you don't see moving sprites behind when they should be having fun time.
    2. Also Balia, Dari, Fheliel, Lynine, Orcent, Orilise, Uyae, Vhala and Wendis dialogues have 'nothing' option, while others do not. I don't know if it would be easier to remove or to add it to others, but it could look more uniform.
    3. Similiarly, newest portals to Tatseni, Ghenalon and Stenai have 'yes/stay' options, while earlier portals with only one destination have 'yes/no' option.
    4. Simon bedroom private teleport destination in Ghenalon could be made next to the floor hexagram, as in Janine chamber.
    5. In Ardford business district, there's still a shining light in front of shop with ornaments (NE corner).
    6. After talking about reworking Aka's knife in Stineford inn, she stays there afterwards. Maybe she likes to voyeur others, but she really shouldn't be with Simon on bed at the same time. And also, there's an unanimated sprite with hairless girl mixed with others on bed.
    7. You really could put some document/book in front of Sarai during the Council, because she looks so unprepared compared to other priestess.

    It's a good thing I could only point such minor things. Keep up such quality.
    I'm waiting for the next update.

      I appreciate your attention to detail, though I don't know when/if I'll get to all of those. A couple (the indicator for the ornament shop, Sarai having a clean table) are intentional.

  16. A quick question: There's hints that a band of disgraced mercenaries are hiding in Rebel Pass. That could either be the Magekillers or the Redlight Mercenaries. When is the harem going to make the connection and go in to give them a good stabbing?

  18. I'm not sure if this was mentioned before but if you missed Altina's custom wand in the first stenai visit, you find the enchanter in his home town of Ghenalon but when you make the custom wand, you get teleported back to stenai, like if you had made it during your stenai visit

  19. Hi, I started the game three days ago and for the first time I'm stuck. I'm doing Aka's Route and here are the things that I'm unable to make:

    -I can't complete the Yhilini Thaumaturgy test:I've already used Trin for one and she doesn't want to do the one that was seemingly designed just for her now

    -When it comes to the cult quest: the second round is literally impossible, I only have Aka and Robin in my party and they're level 24 and 23 respectively and I just get destroyed.

    -Finally, I think I messed up when copying people with Trin, I did it carelessly and now there are some (minor ?) things I figured that I can't trigger after I saw a walk-through, can it be reverted ?

    Looking forward to your answers, it would bother me a lot to restart everything from the very beginning...

    1. Hello! Since this post is a bit old, you may not get a very good response. Perhaps consider posting your questions on the wiki? There are a lot of different factors potentially involved, so it's difficult to give a definite answer.

      Delete
    2. prolly really late on this but just got my pc back XD
      about thaumaturgy tests try to rest or use mana potions to restore robin's mana.
      about the cult quest, it seems you missed altina on recruitment, she does make a diference there.
      about trin's copies can't be reversed i would sugest tah you make separate saves, or at least make a save starting from the first time you leave feroholm so you can skip prologue without having any choice taht would affect the future.

  20. I've run into an issue regarding the Demonic Seed. I know Sabitha gave it to me, but it isn't in my inventory and I can't create Wendis's new body. Is there another one I am missing somewhere, or a way to fix this?

    1. You might want to ask on the wiki, as this post is a bit old. If you've discovered a bug that prevents the Demonic Seed from being given, that would be important to fix, so please consider uploading saves there too.

  22. Just wondering, is Simon going to get Annah?? I am the sentimental type, for example I gave the very first shard to Riala (even though, practically speaking it only gave a relationship bonus that wasn't needed (she was already maxed out)).

I've been everywhere I can think of and couldn't find ulrissa or where any more investment opportunities that were I can check.

    Can you tell me where she's suppost to be after the erosian war so I can advance to Chapter 5 and where this investment area is that I'm suppost to have access to.
