Crimson Gray: Dusk and Dawn (beta testing)

Well, the timing of everything is weird, but I don't want to keep putting this off when it's been ready for a while. It's time for the testing of Crimson Gray 1.5.

I'm looking for some volunteer testers who have the time and inclination to check a version that may have some bugs in it yet . I've t...

September 9 Update

The first full week of September was rough, but I powered through more than I had hoped. There are still some personal issues hanging over me, but I managed to finish several things, at least for now. Expect to see more about my novel writing in the future.

Next, on TLS... I was afraid that all th...

Writing Thoughts

At this stage I'm almost certainly going to finish the novel I've been working on in my spare time. It will be a big fantasy novel, and while I'm subjective, I like what I've written. The question is: what do I do with it?

(EDIT: Let me make it clearer, sorry - this novel is traditio...

September 2 Update

Okay, September is going to be a rough month for me. I've gotten hit with a lot of things at the same time, from business issues to some family stuff. Patreon having more financial problems doesn't help - apologies to everyone having bank issues again.

It won't be entirely miserable, though. Septe...

This is a headpat post. There is only peace and understanding here. Whatever burdens you're carrying, you can set them down for a time.

TLS 0.37.0 Released!

There's so much stuff going on right now, but let's focus on TLS 0.37.x!

EDIT

Alright, here is a new build that I hope will fix many issues:

https://mega.nz/#!TodG3SCQ!fD4EvD9gYQX...

August 18 Update

Not done with 0.37.0 quite yet. This release has an above-average number of new maps, new events, and aftermath scenes, so I think the development time will feel justified. It should release on Friday. Hopefully with enough time so that I can do more testing with some of the saves that...

August 12 Update

So, making good progress on 0.37.0! It won't be a double-sized update, but it's shaping up to be larger than average and done in good time. Only potential obstacle is that I don't know some things about my schedule over the coming period. Should definitely be out in August, though.

Having said tha...

Linearity and Non-Games

Hey, $10 backers! I want to use this post to get people's opinions on something that will seem abstract but could be important in the future. Sorry that it will be a bit vague, but I'm trying to get my head straight while I deal with some things.

The issue I'm struggling with is the level of contr...

August 5 Update

I've shaken things off and made major progress on TLS 0.37.0. =D The usual ebb and flow of creative energy has been more volatile as of late due to certain issues, but I'm productive overall and feeling good about it.

I sometimes hesitate to talk about the lower points, because they're often just ...

July 28 Update

(Note: new 0.36.3 on the blog. Not important unless you want to get Altina back in the party without replaying anything - added a fixer event - but it has some minor fixes and impr...

TLS 0.36.2 Public Release

Newest version of TLS is now public:

 - More bugfixing ...

July 22 Update

Quick business note: TLS 0.36.1 has been released in the previous $5 thread. It is much improved, but if you are looking for a bugless version, you should wait for 0.36.2. The rest of this post will be some personal reflections.

It has been two years since I lost someone very important to ...

July 15 Update

I should have been able to get the short update out last Friday, but I failed to do so due to having low energy. There is no legitimate reason it shouldn't come out on the 20th and I hope that I will be able to release it at that time.

The image for this post is the Sabitha faceset I wanted to hav...

July 8 Update

Looking at the content for the next TLS update, I'm glad people were open to the idea of 0.36.0 being a smaller update. It still won't be a weighty release, but there's a lot of scattered content of many types that I don't want to cram into the Stenai update, which will be big enough as it is.

The...

Crimson Gray 1.5 Title: Round 2

EDIT: Poll is closed, as a decision is made.

Well, I'd hoped that voting would go quickly and we'd get a title everybody liked, but that was not to be. T-T I took everyone's suggestions to heart and came up with a second round of potential titles. I am relatively confident that one of t...

Public Release + June 29 Update

Doing this as a hybrid post for several reasons. First, version 0.35.6 of TLS is out, hopefully without serious new bugs:

http://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2018/06/tls-0356-public-r...

Choose the title of Crimson Gray 1.5 that appeals most to you:

EDIT: I'm closing this poll in order to put up a new one!

Note that the question isn't "Which of these is most appropriate to the game?" I hope all are generally appropriate, so I'm trying to pick one that is appealing and communicates something to a general audience. Basically, I'm too far into m...

June 24 Update

Apologies if I'm not very prompt responding to your messages. Busy days. I am kind of worn down, but still feeling like moving everything forward is the best option. Before the Steam sale ends I'll consider picking up something new for a bit of a break. But meanwhile, stuff!

1) TLS 0.35.0<...
