New half update on Patreon and SubscribeStar!


0.55.3

New Content

 - If you invested in repairing Feroholm, new maps can now be visited.

 - Same with Stineford Farm, which has different versions depending on whether you chose orcs, succubi, or the poor.

 - Sprite animations can now be viewed en masse via the private rooms staircase in the base.

 - Five new Orcent conversations: Yhilin Guard Bar, Denlak's Bar, The Tower's Backdoor, Orgasmic Cafe, Feroholm (rebuilt only)

 - Four new illustrations: Riala Relaxing, Trin Double Team, Wendis Reunion (x2)

Investments

 - Megail has an "investment finder" event in her office, specifically for new investments not in Rodak or the Orgasmic Empire

 - Tertia has a new conversation/investment that affects the price of Rodakan Agriculture.

 - Stenai now includes a new event with Feremina.

 - Gathering Complex Refurbishment price now scales with collateral damage.

 - The Rodakan Order investment likewise scales with collateral damage.

Tweaks

 - A new conversation with the Erosian harem leader now grants an Erosia point.

 - The Helvanna "Succubi in Rodak" investment now grants character points.

 - Ryoken receives a greater number of cosmetic changes as it improves, including new NPCs, new dialogue, and empty houses receiving doors or occupants.

 - Two Erosian NPCs have new dialogue with Ginasta.

 - Herin has moved from the Bloody Spire to Cee'Kan, if she became High Priestess.

 - The Impaler has a new line of dialogue.

 - Doors in Theltiar now animate (thanks to Decanter).

 - Minor new dialogue for the Helvanna Lustlord temple.

 - Minor additional dialogue to map succubus.

 - Truly minor fixes, like typos or tileset corrections, are not listed.


I've done something weird with this one, a sort of half update. It includes new illustrations, new investments, new Orcent conversations, etc... but not the amount I'd normally put in an update. What I can say is that it's all content I think makes the game better, and that I felt doing an update like this was the best way to keep momentum.

Anyway, this update is available to all patrons $1 and up, and should definitely be going public in a week.

  1. What, we need to make a week more ? Nooooo....
    Damn my completionist mind !!! I wouldn't have such troubles if I played without waiting XD
    But better content is well worth this pain !!! All the best ^^

  2. I have to say, I find myself intimidated by how big of a difference a 0.00.1 increase can make. Also there goes my investment plan, back to the drawing board for me I guess...

    1. This is more than the average cleaning update, but I do try to keep adding content to improve the game with each version!

  3. This development speed combined with the quality of the updates is honestly baffling, in a good way. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad that there are developers like you out there.

    1. I truly love my work! Thank you for playing my games, please just remain patient with me when I need to switch projects to keep myself happily motivated.

  4. Hey, Sierra I love the game but could you add at least one spot to farm or grind at the start? It's really frustrating when you're trying your third or fourth run with normal gameplay without grinding. And weirdly enough, I do like grinding. Maybe make it optional, like a choice not a requirement.

    1. I respect the request, but I'm afraid the lack of grinding is built into the core of TLS. Some of my other RPGs (like DoW) allow it, and I hope the upcoming Once Ever After will be especially enjoyable for those who like optional optimization.

    2. Yeah well, it's fine I guess. Still really love TLS and crimson gray though so I hope you keep up the good work. I also wanted to ask, is Once Ever After removed from steam or something? I've seen links to the steam page but it always leads nowhere.

      Delete
    3. The page is still up, internally or here:
      https://store.steampowered.com/app/951860/Once_Ever_After/

      Are you by any chance from Germany? Most NSFW games have been blocked on Steam there. If it isn't that, and the above link doesn't work for you, then I don't have an answer.

    4. As a mattter of fact once ever after is banned in Germany. I just checked that, because I am from Germany.

      Delete
    5. Almost all NSFW games are banned there (I believe any game that has completed the mature survey to get age-blocked). I'm afraid there's not much I can do about it.

  5. I love playing your Game, since i started with it. I have a question though, is it already possible to max the affection of carina or are you implementing that in the future?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. She's "technically" maxed since her affection counter doesn't really drop after reaching 99, but she still have some heavy things on her mind that doesn't allow her to reach 100.
      Plus Sierra haven't coded that part yet ^^

  6. "Megail has an "investment finder" event in her office, specifically for new investments not in Rodak or the Orgasmic Empire"

    Thank you so much, before it was fun to go all over the region looking for investments, but the map it's too big now to do that every time you can invest. I imagine Megail reminds you of the investments after you discover them on the map. Good bye pen and paper!

    1. Unfortunately, it's not comprehensive. This one is for new investments, to simplify the processfor those who don't want to hunt everywhere. Doing this for every single investment, and confirming whether you found it, would be a huge headache.

      Delete
    2. Thanks for answering.
      I understand. It's actually easier, I like it.
      Would you consider adding that "mechanic" to all/some stages of the game or you intend it to be a feature only for new investments starting from this point in the story?
      Cheers.

      Delete
    3. I intended that feature to be solely for the new national investments added this update. Past sections were not developed with this sort of thing in mind, so it would not be a trivial amount of work.

  7. I find that I am stuck in moving forward because I cant gather enough pron to move forward. Is it possible that I could be stuck at a point in the game were I cannot advance? If I go to sleep, i cant advance, I have spoken and connect with every character a few times and cannot see any possible way forward. FYI...It would be etermely helpful if Sierra make it possible to include unlimited monsters to fight at all times for players to earn SX.

    1. There is no point in the game where insufficient ProN can be a barrier to moving forward. Have you checked the wiki guides?

  8. I have not checked the wiki guides. Thanks for the hint.
