Patron genericname12345 continues to bring us decidedly non-generic fanart! I'm especially fond of the personality of the first one. ^-^
The next TLS update should be this coming Friday. Barring something really unusual, anyway, or the testing phase revealing huge gaps.
I think people...

Before the main post, some more fanart! It seems that Argo the Ratfolk wasn't done with OEA fanart, because we have a cute little Ulfina to round out the set. That said, on to the post.

2022-02-27 18:04:00 +0000 UTC View PostI have a whole post written, but first, some assorted business:
Lots of stuff going on this week. Plenty of standard work, but I'll focus on things for patrons:
UPDATE
I've just uploaded a non-essential update that you might want to consider trying. Version 0.5.2 doesn't include any new content, but it does include some new scripts (largely thanks to Decanter). We hope that this will almost eliminate dialogue flickering (which you could test) and t...

Four new scenes! This is beginning the new phase, in which we're doing second affection scenes for everyone as well as a few other scenes we felt like adding. I'm fond of how Riala's "cuddle pile" scene turned out - illustrating the dream she grants Simon would be nearly impossible, but Annikath ...

Okay, time to talk OEA. Starting with one more piece of fanart from Argo, finishing out the cast! The plan is to release this in late Q1, but the timing has almost nothing to do with how much time/work I put into it. We'd want some delay anything, since releasing near the lunar new year sale is u...

TLS 0.59 is finally behind me and things seem to be mostly stable. The next update will include some elements I'm really looking forward to, but I also need to update the whole world again and make new maps. More on that later.
The second big update is that Chasmfall is released! Get it her...

Originally I planned to release a TWC book this weekend, but I delayed it for a number of reasons, among them wanting to spend more time on TLS 0.59.1. There are some tweaks to make now that it's out, but it seems to be in good shape overall for the public release.
Anyway, that means TWC4 i...
2022-01-16 17:49:29 +0000 UTC View PostBug reports have dropped off, so I'm putting out TLS 0.59.2. The changes aren't substantial, but it's there in case anyone wants to see the fixed scenes, check the final balance tweaks, or just play on the newest version. Unless something new is discovered, this might be the public version.
Short weekly update for once. TLS 0.59.0 is out, and since there was one hotfix, I guess I'll leave the .1 version to be a significant step up. There will likely be a lot of work with this one, but I'm glad people have generally enjoyed this moment bringing various elements full circle.

2022-01-09 17:55:14 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate time! This was my focus for all of December, and I think it has some good content, so I hope this release helps get people's year off to a good start!

This year was crazy for me. It might seem like I was doing too much, but I said "No" more than I ever have in previous years. I still recall my years of struggling as a creator, so it feels strange to have opportunities thrown at me right and left.

As is tradition, the holiday post will be a quiet, simple one. Wherever and whenever this post finds you, I hope that you're doing well. Please enjoy this little image and look forward to everything in store for the new year. ^-^

Events attempted to conspire against me, but I overcame them! This was the best week for TLS work in a while, making some good progress. Of course, I want to be making great progress, not good progress, so I'm going to keep this post short and hope that this momentum holds.
Meanwhile, pleas...
2021-12-19 18:01:15 +0000 UTC View PostEvents ganged up on me this week. -_- I'm not going to pretend that every single hour was absorbed by unavoidable events, but they ate up way more of my week than normal. Look at all my distractions:
The holidays are upon us and many patrons are getting too busy to comment, but work continues! That includes working with Annikath, who won't take her vacation until near Christmas. Please enjoy the latest set of finished scenes.
What to say about this set? Lots of Altina and Varia as we wr...

Okay, TLS 0.59.0. I've been working on it for a while, just not making as much progress as I'd wanted. It's easier to make update posts about things that are going well, or discrete accomplishments, than to ramble about vague frustrations.
At this stage, there's a bit of an inertia Catch-22...

Another pretty productive week, but I'm less intensely enmeshed in work. Therefore you get fanart and short stories!

First up, check out the comic! I mentioned this idea a year ago, but only decided to make a comic recently.
