Hello, everyone! I previously promised that I'd make all the demographics data gathered from the surveys free eventually, and that time has come:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/143545035
The Patreon post has been made free, so you can now see all the data, the graphs, and the questions/answers following! Thanks so much to everyone in the community, whether you helped fill out the survey or you've just been here with us. ^-^
Please look forward to TLS version 1.1.0, which will be released once all Chapter 4 scenes have been illustrated and will include some surprise upgrades for a previous region. As I've said in past posts, I'm hard at work on new projects, but I don't want to spam you here, so I'll be limiting posts to TLS updates and big announcements. You can of course get more frequent updates if you want to follow me via my assorted channels.
Sorry for the delay, December is always such a busy month.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Merry Christmas to everyone on the team !!!
- So cruel of you to do that to Orcent XDXDXD It needed a full bar conversation minimum !!!
- I think Xerces is more popular as a villain because he followed through with his beliefs when confronted to a Planescape Tourment debate. In contrast, Hester is a sore loser, but also have more screentime and happier memories before her dramatic reveal.
- With that said, I’m surprised the Incubus Emperor ended up so popular, especially after his cruel actions towards succubi. Guess more people than I expected share his baboon fetish XDXDXD
More seriously, the favorite villain question was slightly subject to interpretation. I chose based on the one with the most interesting motive, but others might have chosen based on the more cruel or funny. Wonder who between Estaven, Tanurak and Antarion would have won the most Hated Villain category.
- Wendis have a lot of popularity factors working in her favor : early appearance, heavy story relevance, background lore both emotional and funny, connections to other characters, ‘I can fix her’ syndrome (which can be fulfilled more easily than with Trin and Lilith ^^), more screentime and empathy towards her years of suffering.
The ‘Others’ (^^) don’t have as many advantages.
- Concerning Investments, I’m a proud cheater, though more accurately, I consider it as New Game + since I only started after 15 full runs of Chapter 4 ^^ Before that, I was leaning more towards Altruism.
- I would have been interested to see the results of a ‘Are you disappointed that Vhala ended up unromanceable’ question. Personally, I think it’s better both for her as a (Un)person and for Simon’s non-sexual friendships rather than a dramatic heel-face turn where she jumps into Simon’s arms, but does everyone share this opinion ? Guess we’ll never know.
- Random thought : ‘Sarai using slang’ > ‘What’s going on ? She suddenly evolve !!!’ > ‘Rapper Sarai with reversed cap, sunglasses and mic : The new trash-talk-idol phenomenon !!!!’
Why brain, why ? XDXDXD
- Glad to see Geoff receiving deserved appreciation. After all, when you think about it, he might have been (very) aggressive towards Simon, but he was competent, didn’t turn out to be a villain, and though he certainly wasn’t happy about it, he still showed no hesitation to sacrifice his life to save others, contrarily to a certain fake hero.
- Heh, Alonon gets a final ‘…’ ^^ I’m curious, do you have a number on how many ‘…’ was used in the game ? Would be a fun statistic to have ^^
- Best/worst sidequests, number of broom sightings, did Big Man became a hero, did Qum students got a lamia slide, what is the longest duration of your sitting beneath the Nostalgic House tree ? So many questions we will never know the answer of.
- Ah, and mismatched sprite and face portrait for this succubus. https://imgur.com/a/JiyrD1j
See you soon ^^
No worries, hope you're having a good holiday!
DeleteI think with villains there's a significant portion of "love to hate" as well. The Incubus Emperor is the first major villain and he leaves an impression.
I actually had a statistic graphic on total ellipses in the game! I thought it was in this post, but maybe it was in one of the other stat posts around the end of the game. It's somewhere on Patreon, sorry.
I guess I do have a darker blonde succubus face... will swap out the NPC, thanks for reporting.
