Just popping in to let non-patrons know about the current situation. I have been steadily working away at the next build of TLS, but this one involves more than just my usual tasks: I intend to wrap up all extant Steam issues with this one. Unfortunately that means things aren't entirely up to me.
One major task that has been completed has been giving TLS achievements, actually 169 of them. You can see the full list on Steam already, though they can't all be unlocked yet. Setting up and testing all of these was a ton of work!
I also discovered that, contrary to my previous expectation, TLS has become eligible for Steam trading cards. Most free games can't get cards, and I figured a NSFW one wouldn't be allowed, but that seems to have changed. However, that means more hoops I need to jump through, then the trading card people at Valve are always sticklers for details (as well as slow to respond). This is the current roadblock to release.
In the meantime, I am grinding away at various improvements to the game. This includes yet more enhancements to the prologue as well as some game-wide balance changes and another upgrade to the visuals. Basically, I'm just keeping myself busy with the list of secondary tasks while I try to keep the other wheels turning.
This upcoming update will not be a major one for new content, but you'll have to be patient, as doing all of this polishing is important before the big 1.0.0 release. That will be the largest number of eyes on the game since the initial release, so I want TLS looking its best. ^-^
Im really happy for you and I look forward to buying the game on Steam and playing one final time to get all those lovely cards
ReplyDeleteI will say that I have recently found a bug or issue and i'm not sure what's causing it as there isn't a "Bug report" or "log"
It's of version 0.77.2
During The Erosia War
Nearing the end of the whole conflict
More specifically at "Ghenalese Battlefield 2"
Basically when you are planning a Ambush for the Lust Lord's Orc's and just as you get the game offering you a Save state.
Your team walks up to combat the tower orc's but the battle doesn't start and i'm kinda just.
Stuck there. I tried reloading closing the game but it always does the same thing
My last save to that was 7 hours ago so not...very keen on going back LOL but I had a issue like this in the previous version and I fixed it by updating to this one.
So my plan is to wait for the next version or maybe try downgrading again and see if that fixes it
I can't say for sure what the situation is, so I will have to get back to you later.
DeleteAlso Aside from doing that bug report I REALLY have to say I am in LOVE with all the skills and tweaks each of the characters got Especially the succubus of the group
ReplyDeleteI won't lie. I honestly rarely used the succubus's for any kind of combat unless I was forced to due to story reasons they really where bad at fighting especially since they often where outnumbered in fights so it just was a massive drag whenever i needed to use them. My main team had always ran with the Spellcaster's being able to AOE or nearly 1 shot those i went against. But Nat being able to have similar combat skills like Varia, Yara being able to have magical attacks like Robin
Even Qum being a more better buffer then Histeria in some cases really has helped them out
It's to the point that our fav princess Succubus is part of my "Boss kill" team where I use her along side Uyae and Reshaped Varia to just do nasty amounts of hits on the boss.
Glad to hear you've been enjoying the game overall! Players never agree about balance, but I do try to offer interesting new tools for different characters throughout the game.
DeleteGotta say it's a pretty complete list.
ReplyDeleteKinda wish there was even more jokes in the titles but hey, you already did a good job ^^
Plus honestly ? The Steam achievements can't even compare to all the emotions we've felt while playing the game, and all the completionist optimization that drove us forevermore.
There could always be more achievements, yes, but I hope this is a decent list overall.
DeleteSteam achievements are huge! Question though. You did say that not all of them can be obtained - does that include the one also about making every corrupted decision with Kai in the prologue? Because I can only find one such decision (lamia) and that is apparently not enough.
ReplyDeleteNone of them can be obtained until the next update, except the three test achievements in the last update. I needed to push the list public in order to test them on my end.
DeleteI have been playing this game over and over for a number of the years it has been worked on, even before the art work was in it for the sex scenes. I was curious, how far along those were in the current version. I haven't played in a while, because I wanted to wait for the completed game now with it so close to being done.
ReplyDeleteI love this game, thank you for all your work on this, really showed me how much a RPG maker game can be so much fun and deep on story.
Thanks, glad to hear the game has meant something to you. ^-^
DeleteCurrently all scenes are illustrated through the third chapter, with a ton of the fourth chapter illustrated as well. We're doing some other art prep for the final release, then the process will resume.
Hello, I would like to report two potential bugs in dialogues in version 0.77.2:
ReplyDelete1) In Map 217: Ardford Castle in EV(74,37) on page 4 there are 3 choices, the first of which includes the other two. Those other two choices, when selecting the ‘Do nothing’ option, display Ignias' comment, while the first one does not.
2) In Map 217: Ardford Castle in EV(74,35) on page 3 in the branch:
Darghelon: UnP Agree == OFF
Unperson Yes == ON
UNPERSON VOTE PASS == ON
The dialogue says that the motion failed, as does the branch following it, even though it actually passed. (Or did I misunderstand something in the translation?)
Thanks for the detailed reports!
Delete1) Hmm, I guess his dialogue should be in that branch too, sure.
2) It looks like the dialogue in the sides of the conditional is switched! I've flipped them around.
Can steam's gamepads support be implemented into the game? I dont know how matterful iit is but as for what i can personally tell, having to open the game through steam just for gamepad to work through a wire is somewhat euggh (wireless connects without any issues so i wouldn't assume its my personal gamepad's problem)
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid my answer is "I don't know." No matter what I do to try to support controllers, I get negative reviews over it. I'm not completely sure what you're even asking.
DeleteAh, i see. I was talking about that the game only connects to 1 version of connection, like if you go wireless you cant play wire later and vice-versa, tho i personally cant play wired even if i start a game with the controller on it already
