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.
Hello Sierra big Fan,
ReplyDeletewould you be able to say if Act 4 has all scenes illustrated?
or if all scenes will be illustrated by 1.0 release?
The fourth chapter has nearly all of its scenes illustrated, just a few holdouts currently being worked on. Version 1.0.0 will mean the game is feature-complete, but illustrations will need to continue for many months to come, long after I have begun development on other projects.
DeleteI see, thanks again for the monumental amount of work you and your team does for this game :D Good story telling with highs and lows like this aren't seen anymore
DeleteI can't believe this is almost done. i stumbled on to this by way of a site i use for some game mods very early in 2015. i completely forgot it had different name when i first got it and it changed the next update. the only game i ever played with pure text. i am gonna resist playing until 1.0. i love this game for the game itself. i would play it even without all the sex, though it would be hard to make a completely SFW version based off the who premise lol. Every time i see a certain characters name i snicker due to the old title reference.
ReplyDeleteOne small stone after the other, you're building the fondation that will elevate you to the heavens ^^
ReplyDelete- OOOoohhh, battle busts for the Incubus King, and for young Alonon and Hester ? Very nice !!!
- Lol, use your head and sword, not what’s down here XDXDXD Poor Simon *backpats*
- I agree that this version fits better with the other scenes art. Well played on the shard implementation ^^
- Okay, I expected some extravagant logic jump or lore breaking for the NTR options, but gotta admit that having Qum give a hug to a lonely ogre is more heartwarming that my expectations ^^ In fact you’re leaving me with quite the conundrum for my next run, do I take the classic option to prove my support for succubus culture, or take the more wholesome option for more time with Qum ?
- Hmm, Yarra rethoric is interesting. When each one is using the other, how much respect is there in the mix ?
- Lol, Lilith’s investment ^^ I thought it was a Pokemon description at first. Which is…. not that innacurate XDXDXD
- Still, shame we can’t go to Gawnfall. Oh well, can’t have it all.
- “Screw that, we’re busting through New Givini !!!” Lol ^^
- “The base "map" tiles on the walls have been modified from a general map to the TLS continents.” I assume it’s about how map sprites like the one in Denlak offices have 3 continents ? Oh, I see, Arclent have only 2 continents on theirs because they don’t know Thenours well.
- Hadn’t seen the busts with Simon wearing damaged equipment before. Probably from the Incubus Prison.
- Hmm, is that little organ when you beat up Penitents and Unpeople in the Incubus Prison new ? Can’t remember.
- So Tertia overall bust/dialogue is sharper, Elleani have warmer colors, and Simon is hairier ?
- Ahh, finally. Melymin wasn’t in Theltiar but Denmiel. Chapter 4, Gathering the Party. Gotta say that having her literally look down on us fits her character well XDXDXD
- I’m gonna miss the little pixies for OE succubi childrens.
- Changing most Givini women sprites and dialog boxes to increase Luanell's uniqueness is a bold move !!!
- Interesting how the Final Pan Out goes from fade to black to fade to white. I like both versions but it’s a nice way to mark the difference with previous chapter cards. Plus it fits well with the credits ^^
- Time to see the Stineford differences with Robin and Hilstara.
Ah, the camera reseted when Robin arrive, so I can’t see Yarra turning around. Didn’t this bug got mentioned when you did the Stineford overhall ? Huh, thought it was fixed.
- Oh interesting, you’ve put a notice for new players explaining the optional areas. Nice ^^
- Lol, ‘You got your shiny ? Happy now ?’ XDXDXD
- Took me fifty fights or so to trigger a conversation. Is it truly random or linked to certain groups of mobs ? Because if it’s random, the RNG might make us lose some of the discussion.
- See, that’s what I don’t get.
Opening the last barrier blocking the Succubus Tower make it clear that Hilstara knows she’s dealing with succubi, which probably comes from Simon catching her up hen we meet her the first time, and is once more confirmed when Hilstara ask Yarra to focus on enemies with lust weaknesses.
But when Aka ask if touching the crystal is dangerous and Yarra answers that they have ways of removing it, Hilstara’s clueless, which along with Simon’s warning of being too open with her and Yarra whining of her being in the way implies that she’s unaware.
Either it’s an inconsistency, or Yarra is hinting at Simon’s power, but I think it could be better clarified either way.
- Wait, I’m in the smithy, is that…. A LEGENDARY BROOM ?!!! Right at our fingertips too, not blocked by a pesky invisible wall or a recalcitrant NPC ?!!! Well, I know now where we’ll acquire Broom-chan ^^
A few fixes :
Delete- Camera doesn't show Yarra during Robin introduction (Chapter 1 Stineford)
- Topless Simon dialog box and bust works, but he’s still clothed in the pause menu and backlog (Simon’s path). The same applies to beaten up Simon, the backlog and pause menu don’t follow the changes (Incubus Prison).
- If the little organ is meant to be used for every fight as a replacement of the classic victory music, it is missing for early enemies (Incubus Prison).
- Givini ‘afro’ sprites have a ponytail dialog box (Postgame and retroactive).
- Kalant, Geoff and Sho are missing from the portraits and Zelica memorial version is inactive. Possible solution : put together both Janine and Wendis portraits and add Kalant to the Chosen. Leave room for Geoff and Sho. A memorial option for Geoff would be nice (Postgame and retroactive).
- Hilstara still have her final helmet on the pause menu and party formation sprite (Postgame).
- The booze from Erosia have an invisible orc explaining it’s good stuff (Postgame).
- Tertia has her bust fully clothed in the Garden of Steam bathhouse instead of the nude version (Postgame).

DeleteAll pixel maps should be changed to the game's continents. Do you have screenshots of ones that aren't?
>Hmm, is that little organ when you beat up Penitents and Unpeople in the Incubus Prison new ? Can’t remember.
Perhaps new to you, but I made a number of changes to the Incubus Prison a while back to emphasize the progression.
>Ah, the camera reseted when Robin arrive, so I can’t see Yarra turning around. Didn’t this bug got mentioned when you did the Stineford overhall ? Huh, thought it was fixed.
To be perfectly honest, I don't remember much about this and don't want to replay yet another section. I am stretched very thin these days.
>Took me fifty fights or so to trigger a conversation. Is it truly random or linked to certain groups of mobs ? Because if it’s random, the RNG might make us lose some of the discussion.
Specific mobs, no randomness.
>Topless Simon dialog box and bust works, but he’s still clothed in the pause menu and backlog (Simon’s path). The same applies to beaten up Simon, the backlog and pause menu don’t follow the changes (Incubus Prison).
You mean his square profile picture? Yeah, guess that wouldn't change. This wouldn't be impossible to change, but I'll have to look into it.
>Kalant, Geoff and Sho are missing from the portraits and Zelica memorial version is inactive. Possible solution : put together both Janine and Wendis portraits and add Kalant to the Chosen. Leave room for Geoff and Sho. A memorial option for Geoff would be nice (Postgame and retroactive).
I will not change the portrait system any more.
>The booze from Erosia have an invisible orc explaining it’s good stuff (Postgame).
Yeah, I guess that should change.
FYI, there's a command specifically to change Hilstara back into her normal outfit, but it only runs when you start the postgame, it won't magically change current saves.
DeleteSimon, I still haven't had time to look into.

DeleteAh, it's a separate tile issue. Got it for the next build, thanks!
DeleteYou're welcome ^^
DeleteI may be wrong about these but i was checking some values for finnal
ReplyDeletebattle.You need 4 zirantra points to suceed and to not let faction leader get killed.
so If you support OZL in zirantra you miss out on infrastructure porject. which gives you +1 score in final battle calcualation. Which now means that if you whant to pass that check you need +70 zirantra check instead of much easyer 50-69 one. from narative perspective i really like these one whille OZL has been helping you more for most of game now in end game there policys make it so that They need much more help then NUP route to succeed. Problem is that whille these check is Techichly possible to pass way it is possibble is a little problematic.
Only way OZL route can pass 70 check is IF Tanurak
Strikes succeds and T - Zirantia gets turnd on. Reason for these is becouse Investment of Mitigation of Tanurak's attack on Zirantia gives + 5 zirantra and T - Zirantia ON gives you plus 3 points instead of one. without these Maximum points that OZL can theoreticly get IF you Get every ziranta point is 68. So curently only way to succed with OZL is if zirantra gets devastaded during the war and then we pay for its restoration. from naratvie standpoint zirantra should much more easly be passing that final check if it did not get destroyed or these is how i think about it.
another small thing is for finnal Vhala quest to get best aram results you need 50 points out of 51 and to get that you must let your old friend get raped. becouse it give you 2 points needed for it. (frankly geting aram over 40 is already a miracle). and that 1 moving point comes from leting aram geting devastated and then rebuilding it in thrid arclent war
Without it you need
Did part of your comment get cut off? In any case, I actually wanted OZL to be the easier path, so this would be something worth looking into as an oversight.
Deleteno comment did not cut out it was my mistake.
Deleteit happens becouse of Zirantia Infrastructure Improvement.
OZL dose not get it which means that it Technicaly saves 1.5mil pron(slums 2mil vs 1 mil + 2.5 infrastructure). it dose miss out on a lot of things becouse of it, but main problem happens in last battle where Zirantia Infrastructure Improvement gets checkd becouse it is one of 2 investement that gets checkd. Thanks for answer and sorry for complaing to much :)
Are we talking about the investment attached to switch 3806? Looking at the logic, it seems to me like the investment is only checked if the NUP is in charge, otherwise you automatically get the +1. If you mean something else, please be more specific.
Deletei was cheking it from wiki page. dont really know how to check swiches. wiki page dose not say anything about aditional +1 if NUP is not in charge. so wiki page may be wrong.
DeleteIn that case, I think the wiki is likely wrong, so it would be great if you or someone could fix it. NUP has +1 with the investment and -1 without it, while OZL gets +1 no matter what.
Deletethanks for answer i will deal with wiki
DeleteHi Sierra, I've run into a bug during Yarra's route at the end of day 2. When I select the sparkle option "Later" the game hangs, The sparkle does not dissapear (it does when I select the "sleep" option) and I lose the ability to move the character at all.) hope you can reproduce and fix this :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Am I correct in thinking that when you select "Later", Yarra says a line, then the game seems to freeze?
DeleteYep spot on.
DeleteI put some screenshots in the help me chat in your discord, sorry for poor quality :)
DeleteThe next build won't be out right away, but I'll have this fixed there!
DeleteHello, I have found several non-critical bugs:
ReplyDelete1) On the map “060:Stineford Whorehouse,” in the event at (6,7) on the second page, the check for Aka's affection is missing.
2) The events at (22, 26) on the maps “347:Zirantia Plaza” and “947:Zirantia Plaza” (renovated) are not identical, although logically they should be.
3) I'm not sure about this, but in the events at (6, 19) on the maps “347:Zirantia Plaza” and “947:Zirantia Plaza” (renovated), perhaps page 3 should be between 6 and 7, otherwise we will never see it.
Let's see...
Delete1) I'm not sure what you mean. If you're referring to the conditionals that check affection and update titles, I do see a missing check for Yarra.
2) Huh... may have been a later addition, but in any case I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be identical.
3) Seems correct, thanks.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. I just called it the wrong thing, I'm sorry.
DeleteNo problem, just wanted to be sure I got the right thing. Thanks for your reports. ^-^
DeleteHello developer, I have been playing your game since 2018 by accident, I am very satisfied with the storyline but I want to ask, Don't you have a JoiPlay version so your fans can play your games on Android? I hope so, because I can freely play games on the JoiPlay emulator when I'm busy.
DeleteI just encountered a textbox overlap. After escaping the Yhilini Manor with Megail in Chapter 1 and then talking to her she asked me about giving her ProN This opened up the (if I understood the patchnotes coreectly apparently new window) about her Thoughts on the investment, however the window is overlayed by the window of her relationship status making it mostly unreadable
ReplyDeleteHey, is this in the version linked in this blog entry, or the Steam version? I'm hoping that the current build (not yet uploaded here) has this one fixed!
DeleteIt's the blogpost version, 0.81.2
DeleteIn that case, I hope that it will be fixed in the next version you see. Thank you for reporting; things are a little unusual in this final stage.
DeleteHello, I found another bug. On the map "212:Janine's Retreat" in event (30,12) on page 3, there should be an option "Nothing" instead of "Sex". As in event (31,15).
ReplyDeleteHmm... at first I thought it might be a difference between Altina versions, but if her other event isn't that way, you're probably right, it was just a mistake.
DeleteHello again. I haven't played the original game without my debug scripts for a long time. But now I've launched it to test a few things, and I have one question related to full-screen mode.
DeleteI don't know, maybe it's just my problem, but when the game starts, it always starts in full-screen mode regardless of the settings in the .ini file. At the same time, when you press F5 to switch settings, they are applied immediately, but it's as if you're pressing the use button.
I fixed this for myself with a few lines in the scripts and correctly linked everything to the .ini settings.
-------------------------------------
class << Graphics
Disable_VX_Fullscreen = true
end
Graphics.load_fullscreen_settings
-------------------------------------
I just find this kind of non-obvious behavior in the original game a little strange. Maybe there were some special reasons why it was done this way?
This one... hmm. I've never specifically changed or set anything about this behavior, so I'm reluctant to go around making direct settings changes.
