December 9 Update
TLS 0.72.1 is out and apparently stable, so there should be no trouble with the public release. A less rushed schedule means extra thinking time, so it's time to contemplate the future and ramble. Posting the weekly update early because I'm trying to get my head on straight.
While I'm excit...

Opening this one to $1 backers! Consider it an early Christmas present. ^-^ Hopefully this longer release period will work even for the busier players and result in a completely stable build over the holidays.
December 3 Update
Hmm, slow feedback this time. Maybe too close to the holidays? Anyway, I'm on top of all simple bug reports (fortunately not many), but haven't finished all the feedback requesting or suggesting entirely new content. Considering more feedback is expected, TLS 0.72.1 will likely be a little longer...

I almost stumbled at the finish line, guys. Usually the rush of finishing up a release will carry me, but I'm not feeling 100% for some reason. The majority of the work was done under great conditions, I just hope I didn't bungle in some bugs right at the end.
TLS Art Preview #40
Wow, is this really the fortieth of these? Dang. Anyway, we have a cuddly selection of scenes from Chapter 4 this week. ^-^ Fortunately these are done in time to appear in the coming update so it will have some art.
Too busy to have much to say about these three. Hope everyone enjoys them!<...

Hey, hope everyone has had a good holiday season if you celebrate. I usually keep these holiday posts short, but I have good news: there should be a TLS update coming out next weekend.
Traditionally, I've often wanted to get out an end of year update, but it's been a challenge. Putting out ...

Before we get into these busy days, we have another Mestan comic from Argo the Ratfolk! These are all being added to the image pack, with more variants, but I haven't uploaded the new pack yet. Anyway, other stuff:

Two fun fan things this week! Behold both above and below:

TLS Mini-Release
Don't get too excited: this is just a small but necessary step forward, not a major content release. Skip unless you were being annoyed by one of the bugs, want to look at the new script, or want to see the new illustrated scenes.
TLS Art Preview #39
Small but complex set this time: Hilstara x Yarra, then two different CGs for the Victory Orgy. The plan was to add anything else forgotten in Chapter 3, but apparently I didn't forget anything for once. Because the Victory Orgy is such a complex scene, we decided that it should primarily focus o...

We begin with another meme spontaneously created by Annikath! If you didn't see, on her own Discord she counted which TLS characters have the highest amount of art. Though Yarra has the most scenes currently in-game, Qum came i...

We begin with another comic from Argo the Ratfolk, this one a crossover with Baldur's Gate 3. Another game that I hope to play in some imaginary future where I have more time. Anyway, hope you enjoy the puppies. ^-^

Usually I do these posts without a picture, but what the heck, I'll throw in the promo image for Steam. They have to be SFW, but Annikath has put together various teasing images. I don't know if they get anyone into the game, but at least they make the updates page prettier.
Anyway, new upd...

Busy days, busy post. First we have a meme from Annikath. On Twitter a confused commenter asked what was happening and she explained, "She is getting fucked as a symbol of liberation for her people!" It pleases me that TLS produces sentences like this. ^-^

EDIT: Version 0.70.1 now available!
- A new script has added a VN-style backlog that will show you previous dialogue. It is activated via the D key.

Every one of these posts contains a lovely bunch of new art, but for this one I also have a request. We have come very near finishing another chapter of the game, which also means finishing another phase of art. Time to check in and make sure I haven't made oversights.
But first, the newest...

Big announcement today, but first look above. TLS has nearly 500 reviews on Steam, which is a significant threshold. If it can get five more reviews (that aren't all negative) then the overall ra...

This week started average and then took a sharp turn. I guess I'll take things in chronological order.
When I took on various additional tasks, I hoped that they would push me into gear and feared they would distract me. Instead... they just didn't take that much time. For example, I've bee...

We're bearing down on the final checkmarks on the roadmap and so I wanted to talk about them. I actually group them into several different categories, some of which are clearer in my mind and some of which are still "unsolved" in my head to some degree. I don't want to mention exactly which ones,...

Originally I was going to finish an essay about game design, but it started feeling like work instead of a fun way to procrastinate from work, and I think we all agree it would be better to spend work energy on actual work.
I'd describe this week as being the protagonist of an old martial a...

Hey folks. I disappeared because my internet just up and died; the ISP has been getting worse lately, but I didn't expect it to be down for so long. This sucks in general, and doubly sucks because I've gotten messages from people worried that there's another reason.
Nope! I am just unable t...

Hello, everyone, it's time for TLS 0.70.0! Which is definitely the next version of TLS!
No, seriously, while I personally think it would be extremely funny to skip over version 69 without comment, I decided not to. Make all the "nice" jokes you want. =P I hope it's a nice update. 2023-09-01 21:59:55 +0000 UTC View Post

I had a whole abstract post in mind about quest design in games, but I guess I'll save time not writing it, because there's hopefully an update coming.
