TLS 0.62.0 Released!

New update for supporters on Patreon or SubscribeStarVersion history updated, you know what to do, etc.

TLS 0.62.0
 - Critical party swap bug fixed.
 - Multiple party dungeon bug fixed.
 - Seven new illustrated scenes: Altina Seated, Esthera Dominance, Iris Meeting, Ivala First Time, Megail Anal, Mithyn First Time, Robin Seated

This is an unusual one instead of a normal content update. There was a long-standing critical bug finally fixed, an edge case that only affected a few people, but ruined their saves. I had three choices:

A) Hold the fix until the next release.

B) Do an immediate patch.

C) Bundle the fix with a few other things.

I decided to go with Option C. Waiting to make the fixes public might have led even more people to run into the problem (and report it to me again) while an update with little fanfare might not convince people to upgrade. Since the serious glitch is not immediately obvious to those affected, this could potentially lead to lagging reports of the same bug.

My intent was for these "endgame" updates to be meatier, but between various personal and professional issues, they've been relatively light. I hope for that to change, but meanwhile I've felt like this is the best way to keep TLS moving forward.

  1. Definitely a good thing to swat any major bugs swiftly even if it means a smaller then typical update. And given that it still includes new illustrations I'd say it is a perfectly decent sounding little update :)

    1. Normally I roll bugs into the next release, but this one has been enough of a problem that I wanted to prioritize it. Didn't happen in most cases, but those who hit it had a bad time.

    1. It is indeed that bug! To simplify, the problem was actually that the container in which all your items are placed during the Incubus Prison could be corrupted, due to the strange way this system was coded. In theory, all strange bugs related to this should never occur again.

      Wow, that's a lot of hours. Glad you enjoy the game so much!

  3. Well the party swap bug not only affect inventory, but it affect quest and harem record as well. I'm more concern about the latter two, I worry they might screw the calculation or even trigger of future content. I can fix the inventory with online save editor, but I heard there is no solution for harem record in bugged save file :(

    Anyway good kob for fixing major bugs.

    1. The bug shouldn't have been a major problem for calculations, since game variables weren't stored in the section that could be corrupted. That said, there could easily be unintended consequences. Hopefully it is fixed for good now.

    1. If you don't know, you're fine! That one wasn't really causing many problems, it was just good to take care of.

      Basically, during the sections where the party is divided into multiple groups, it was possible to bug the game with certain behavior. Not common behavior, but the relevant scripts and maps have been overwritten so the buggy behavior is no longer possible.

    1. Not sure what kinds of things you mean? Many of the benefits of the shards won't occur until after the main game, for balance reasons.

    1. Content from that many updates back is generally not bugged. I suggest you ask via another channel if you don't get an answer here.
