New update for supporters on Patreon or SubscribeStar! Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.
TLS 0.63.0
- Completion of the Philon quest line.
- New harem quest: talk to Carina in Stineford.
- The NPC and harem icons in the Reflect menu are no longer text placeholders, but have been replaced with images. This has been on my list for a long time and it took until now to get to it.
- Completing content this section will give you new resources to make more decisions.
- With the right resources, you can create a piece of ultimate custom equipment for Carina.
- Two new sex scenes, plus an affection scene variation that was already in the game but has been locked for a long time.
- Three new illustrated scenes: Ivala Flying, Mithyn Deepthroat, Lynine/Orilise Threesome
I think this is a pretty solid update on its own merits, but I'm especially glad to have finished up the Philon quest line so it isn't left on a black screen. There's also another complete harem quest and some assorted decisions/rewards. Fewer new illustrated scenes than usual, as much of Annikath's time has been spent working on the upcoming portrait feature.
Hey Sierra, have you ever thought about doing a SFW version of the game? I really like the story and the politic/government mechanics but it's hard to share the game with people because, you know. I hope you're okay btw, love the game.
ReplyDeleteThere are certainly some players who are primarily interested in the story or gameplay (and I'm glad for that!), but statistically it wouldn't be a wise move.
DeleteThat wouldn't rule out a SFW alternate, but the problem there is that sex is pretty heavily integrated into the story. I'm not sure it would be possible to create a truly SFW version without neutering everything.
Maybe a SFW version here can just refer to a version which censors nudity but not the actual sexual overall theme of the game, that's part of it's charm and the purity vs sex discussions and the likes can be considered a vital point of what makes the overall story and it's handling great.
DeleteYou mean like Explicit Art turned OFF?

DeleteNo, even nudity for statues & some pixel characters in maps etc.
DeletePersonally, I would feel much more comfortable sharing the game if there was a version that simply skipped the sex scenes (like the Steam versions of DoW and Ouroboros if you haven't installed the patch); the sprites and themes are no real concern to me.
DeleteI am sorry if this might not be the most appropriate channel, I want to post feedback in general since I just reached the "end".
ReplyDeleteYour work is one of the most amazing things I've ever had the fortune of experiencing in my life. One of the best games and undoubtedly the best RPG I've ever played. The satisfaction I have with the writing, the dialogue, the care you put into your characters, is just incredible. I've spent the last weeks with it, as they say, living rent free in my head. I often engineer how to get my friends to play, which is frankly very hard. As a sort of experiment, I told the basic rundown of the story and characters to a friend, and streamed the [spoilers] Qum's school questline, knowing full well the experience is not to be taken separately. Nevertheless, he still managed to enjoy and appreciate the intelligence and sensibility of it. If anything, for me this is another testament to the quality of your skills!
I'm looking forward to more updates and the rest of the story, but even then, what you've already built is very much praiseworthy.
Now for some minor bugs (if not intentional):
-I did not accomplish the first unmen research with Robin (left Dari as is); yet did the second with Riala, and I changed her appearance. When the matter of distributing the divine shards came up and the projection was set up, her appareance was still of an unwoman (maybe it's checking only the first?).
-At Incubus Prison, I had explicit art turned OFF. When reminiscing about Riala, the game showed the sexual art, albeit briefly.
The blog is fine for comments! I'm glad to hear that you've enjoyed TLS so much. ^-^
DeleteYour second report is a good one that I suppose we've missed because that option is used by relatively few. I've modified that section so the art now displays based on that setting.
Your report about Dari is more difficult because I'm not sure exactly what is happening. Now, just after a big release, it's a bit hard for me to track down ambiguous things. Could you please report it on the forum or Discord so that other players can check it for me?
has it already been almost 7 years for TLS
ReplyDeleteIt's been ages. Hard to believe we're barreling toward the ending.

ReplyDeleteNow. Look at the time stamps on past posts: I usually upload around the same time each release.
