TLS 0.45.2 Public Release + Art Preview

As you probably know, TLS is now in the process of getting custom artwork for every scene in the game. I want to introduce it in a significant chunk instead of starting with just a few images, but many scenes have already been drawn. They're available to patrons at high resolution, but meanwhile I wanted to provide a little preview of what will be added to the game:

TLS 0.45.0 Released!

New update for supporters on Patreon or SubscribeStarVersion history updated, you know what to do, etc.

TLS 0.45.0
 - End of chapter and interlude.
 - Two new scenes.
 - Last investment/research cycle of this chapter.

This is a quieter update, but it includes some new plot/lore elements that I think people will enjoy. ^-^ With this, the fourth chapter is complete and the stage is set for the last!

Normally I take a chunk of time off from TLS between chapters, in order to shift gears creatively and recharge. But lately my attention has been pulled between several different projects, so the situation is a bit different. Not only do I not need a break from TLS, I don't really want to take one. Once I've taken care of any issues this update and balance is finalized, I'll start working on 0.46.0.

However, with the fourth chapter complete, there are a couple things I intend to do over the coming weeks. I'll be talking with patrons about my thoughts regarding a major project to succeed TLS. I wouldn't start work on it soon, but extended projects need a lot of time to develop mentally. There will also be some special art previews for my forthcoming epic fantasy project.

Anyway, that's all for now! Public update in a week.

TLS 0.44.5 Public Release

Everybody finally gets to play the double update! (EDIT: Links now updated to 0.44.6.)

Download*: https://mega.nz/#!69UxmADR!xJRUJdEuzQKkOKtVet7q4euPHoirisT2jwlJ2sKpnc8
Mirror*: https://www.mediafire.com/file/r9gbvzeuvz8wjan/TLS_0.44.6.exe/file
RTP: https://mega.nz/#!y5U1VASB!aGRD8e-4KDeZYKy09ZgBuFet4Z-poFbQN_kK2u3R51k

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

TLS 0.44.5
 - Additional improvements, fixes, and balance changes.
 - New warfront images courtesy of Lamsey.
 - The balance of healing spells has been changed. There's no effect at lower levels, but at higher character levels healing will start to scale slightly faster. This is especially true of single-target healing spells, which I've felt were lagging in an unintended way.

TLS 0.44.6
 - This update is mostly to fix the heal bug.
 - Improved Tanurak image thanks to Bug Reporting and Decanter.
 - Fixed Erosian maps thanks to Lamsey.

After so long working on this version, I hope it's in good condition. I'm pretty tired, so I'll just say that I hope everyone enjoys. ^-^

TLS 0.44.0 Released!

New update for supporters on Patreon or SubscribeStarVersion history updated, you know what to do, etc.

TLS 0.44.0
 - Double update finishing the war.
 - Three new scenes.
 - Tons of new/improved assets. Thanks go to Bug Reporting, Annikath, Decanter, and Lamsey.

This is a big one! Rather than typing a bunch of extra stuff, I'll direct those of you who want a sneak preview to one of the threads with screenshots, such as this one:
https://legendofkrystal.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4691&p=775443#p775443

Due to the size and complexity of this update, it will definitely spend two weeks in beta testing. It will be followed by a shorter update for investments, some final resolutions, and the end of chapter interlude. More about that later!

TLS 0.43.2 Public Release

New version of TLS!

Download*: https://mega.nz/#!G1djjAwS!Huxa2UuL_PsrLf4aGjxe9dmjgrhJ259Bq6IJcuI0bHk
Mirror*: https://www.mediafire.com/file/25dqw9tgdu04ykl/TLS_0.43.2.exe/file
RTP: https://mega.nz/#!SsUFlKTL!ws0S2szxY_EgI0pKMOsV5ONHyxV6x7ubnt_mGtZMXAw

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

NOTE: I am aware that the window displays the wrong version number. This is a purely cosmetic error; it's the new version.

Important Reminder: This is the first part of an event that will span more than one update, so the balance may not be final. Keeping saves before the content is strongly advised if balance matters to you, as there may be retroactive changes.

This is a big war update with a whole variety of things going on. Depending on how good your save is, you may have to make some hard decisions. Beyond that, I don't have much to say, but I hope people enjoy the update. ^-^
