It's finally time to release the postgame to everyone! It started out with quite a bit of content, and I added more based on suggestions from supporters, so there's a lot for everyone to enjoy. ^-^ One final run around the world you created, then the credits roll...
I wish I could just bask in having reached this point, but unfortunately as many of you may already know, there's been a lot of trouble recently with adult games and payment processors. I have not been hit at this time, outside of the delisting and threat that's common to all creators in this space. This probably isn't the place to get into that, but if you want to get involved, see which of the initiatives are relevant to your region.
In personal terms, I am well-prepared for this. I've done my best to diversify, so I can weather some storms. That said, if you want to follow my work, please prepare in case any puritanical types do succeed in taking down my work. You can follow me on Patreon or SubscribeStar without spending anything. My games are on Steam, itch.io, and a bunch of sundry platforms. You can get news via my Discord and, in a pinch, probably the fan wiki. I haven't found social media very effective, but I do have a Twitter/X account that could give news in an emergency.
No individual platform is immune to censorship, but they aren't likely to get hit all at once. Thanks to everyone's support, I've made this my career and I'm not dependent on any one source, so if the worst does come to pass, it's just a question of finding my work on a new platform.
Hope to see you there, if it can't be here. Meanwhile, please enjoy another conclusion of TLS! Of course the work isn't truly done, because there's polishing, illustration, and more, but this is a major threshold crossed. ^-^
Thank you for your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your constant work and preparation against the mass delisting of adult games!
ReplyDeleteI do what I can, but it's all the people who care about my work that give my preparation any teeth! Hard to say what the future will hold, but we should be able to find our way forward.
DeleteThank you for all your hard work. This game has been part of my life for almost a decade, and I'm looking forward to being in a position to give back a little. Glad to hear it's become a stable(ish) career for you; you've earned it!
ReplyDeleteIt's unfortunate that all of this is happening. I discovered your game not long ago and it really blew me away. It has a real soul and it's frustrating how it could be in jeopardy, from being seen by a larger audience, because of small minded and ignorant people. Thank you for your dedication and hard work.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, my work has spread further than a single platform, so it would be hard for activists to take it down completely. The fear is that they'd manage to remove it from Steam, which would remove one of the main channels by which new players discover TLS, and one that many people prefer to use. In any case, I'll keep striving to finish the game and make it available to everyone!
DeleteI don't know how developer friendly it would be but Kagura has long put games, quite a lot that would be considered against Steams existing rules ohn Steam by releasing a SFW version on Steam and then allowing for a free patch to change that from their main site.
ReplyDeleteOne example of this would be Demons Roots, that game has some really degen content (but an amazing story that made me cry buckets).
I got more emotional than I thought I would be seeing all the young NPC's all grown up :')
ReplyDeleteGlad the effort we put into those paid off. ^-^
DeleteIt was long and hard 9 years since I started checking TLS...
ReplyDeleteStill remember those versions, moments, lack of things and... wanting more.
And now it's, mostly, completed. One hell of the ride.
First of all, THANK YOU, Sierra! I hope, you not only enjoyed building this Game, but also will receive recognition for it.
Tbh, I am a little sad. The story is good, with all characters and moments, changes and development... remembering everything is really something.
Be well, continue to create! Good luck! Will always continue to look for more from you.
Thanks for being part of the journey! Though the final moments may be bittersweet, you won't have to say goodbye to the cast entirely, not with some bonus content on the way.
DeleteWaiting for it)
DeleteYeah, they are bittersweet, but... I am still really happy.
Need to replay the game from the start just to exp it as one story. And have bit of nostalgia again) Esp with the first chapter.
Congratulations of finishing the game!
ReplyDeleteI took a (very long) break until after the postgame was finished for a complete playthrough. I started again and found a very minor graphical bug: https://imgur.com/a/qo47cwC
For some reason, in chapter 2 when you first arrive at the watchtowers and the guard is supposed to get commander Geoff, the door no longer opens during the cutscene. Same happens when Geoff gets out, or when he leaves again.
Also, I understand these have been added a long time ago but I absolutely love the larger dialogue portraits, and the extra battle busts as well! In the end I just want to thank you for making one of my favourite games I've ever had the pleasure of playing ^^
Glad to hear you've enjoyed your return to the game! Thanks for the bug report... I think what's going on is that because I locked the door so players couldn't mess it up in the postgame, it's also locked for those earlier cutscenes. Should be fixed now!
DeleteThank you Sierra for this wonderful journey! I found this game by coincidence and when i saw the "hero" of the game i didn't want to play it anymore, but I still continued and after prologue, it was one of the best games I've ever played! So once again, thank you for your hard work and good luck in all things that you will do in the future! (Sorry or mistakes if there any English is not my first language.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being along for the ride! I knew I risked losing some people with the opening fake-out, but I hoped that everyone who enjoyed it would appreciate the game. ^-^
DeleteTime to start from begining🔥😤👍
