TLS 1.0.0 Official Release!

It's finally time... when I say the new update is public, I mean that version 1.0.0 has gone live! There might be some future builds that are given on Patreon or SubscribeStar first, but the model of releases I have been maintaining for ten years has finished. Let's link the version history page one more time in case anyone wants to review.

*Requires RPG Maker VX Ace RTP to be installed. If you don't know what that means, use the RTP link.

Of course I have direct links for you, and I intend to always maintain those. However, if you are interested in doing one more playthrough of TLS now that it's complete, consider playing the Steam version to help launch momentum:

And if you haven't done so before, you can follow my developer page to get rare updates on new games:

This blog has been tracking the game from the beginning, so I'm glad to finally bring things to their conclusion here. ^-^ That said, if you want to celebrate with other fans, the Steam forums or the Discord are good choices. 

Of course, you could also celebrate by doing another playthrough now that we've hit the official complete version! And by now it almost goes without saying that I'm appreciative of reviews; I know some people refuse to review Early Access games on principle, so now is the time.

That's all for now! Thank you for following the development of TLS!

Image Pack DLC + Release Impending

It's finally time... the official 1.0.0 launch of TLS is coming soon. There's nothing new for those of you who have already played the full game, but this will be a chance for many new players to try the game. Accordingly, I've been doing all kinds of work to get the Steam page polished up.

One key element of that may be relevant to people here: you can now buy the art pack (containing all unique art in higher resolution) without needing to join Patreon or any other site. Get it here:

My basic philosophy with DLC for this game is that it shouldn't lock off any content or make the main game feel incomplete, so this is an optional addition for those who want it. If TLS is worth enough to you that you want to buy the image pack, or you want all of these images at their original resolution, feel free to grab the DLC! And if you do, reviews never hurt. ^-^

We also have a couple of reminders. First, you have only a limited number of days to participate in the demographics poll if you want to vote for your favorite character or anything else:

Second, thanks so much to everyone reviewing the game! Every review through this period helps extra much, and I hope that new players will try my work thanks to all of you. ^-^

The Great TLS Demographic Survey 2025

We're getting close to the official launch, everyone! I'm still doing some final polishing and fixing a few bugs caused by the new features, but we're closer every day. Along the way, we have time for some fun. ^-^

Way back in 2017, I did a big demographics survey of TLS players. It was fun and I've always wanted to do so again, but since the first one took so much time, I promised myself I wouldn't spend time on it until I reached a good break point. So if you want to be counted among TLS players, vote for favorite characters, or give your opinion on a wide variety of things in the game, please click through:

This is just the beginning: I've also been analyzing the game data to get some fun statistics, ranging from the total number of words to map sizes to how much profanity Sarai uses. You'll be seeing these fun sorts of things over the coming weeks, to celebrate everyone who has been playing the game this long. ^-^

And on that note, thanks to everyone who has reviewed the game! We got a great surge and I hope to keep seeing new reviews as the game officially launches.

TLS 0.81.2 Public Release

New update is public!

Download*: https://mega.nz/file/i503EKpa#qXs0vy6CUsECaWG6nikzrxEpHMwPyI22DhOhATz6sYE
Mirror*: https://www.mediafire.com/file/cv5l7pnczgq16dn/TLS+0.81.2.exe/file
RTP: https://mega.nz/file/Xxch0KJb#06a2U21rQiZOC1ozzs6kyzASAW37p38GaI554C_7GC4

*Requires RPG Maker VX Ace RTP to be installed. If you don't know what that means, use the RTP link.

This update includes a sweeping set of fixes clearing out my list of QoL and other improvements. Of course I'll always have the game available here, but I also want to link the Steam version, because we are getting very close to version 1.0.0.

If you have a Steam account, please consider leaving a review to help prepare the game for the big launch, as this will be a major chance for new players to find the game. I hear from some people who say they'll only review complete games as a matter of principle... if that applies to you, think about what you want to write, because TLS will be leaving Early Access soon!

Of course I'll fix any reported bugs, and Annikath will continue illustrating scenes, but otherwise we should have a smooth path to the big release. Now it's more about timing and launching when I can support the release than any obstacles in development.
