Content

EDIT: New build for everyone! Ideally I would have preferred to wait until Friday, but given how this release period has gone, I think it's better to test this with players first.

TLS 0.73.3

- Following Megail's quest, investigate near Iris to create a new potential piece of equipment.

- Investing in the Erosian smith now grants access to new equipment (at the Erosian temple), a new investment (at Fuck Palace), and new orc equipment (during Balia's quest).

- Five new pieces of unique equipment related to the above.

- Yet more bugfixing and polishing.

I don't usually invite tons of player input, but I did this time, and I think the game is better for it here. The Erosian smith investment now links to a variety of new content, which I think will make it more rewarding and the game more engaging overall. Lots of suggestions made it into the game (though please don't feel bad if yours didn't) or spurred my own thinking. ^-^

Megail's thing is just me tying up a loose end. Right now the game has one more True Gold than necessary - I considered removing it, but decided to leave it intact to make things slightly more merciful.

I'm positive about the content I added here, but not about the methods. Trying to do two updates at once makes for a hectic time. Therefore I hope some players will take a look and note any typos or other problems that showed up when cramming in more content at the last second like this. Then hopefully we can do a public release this Friday and finally wrap this version.

ORIGINAL POST

Since this build is going to an unusual third week in beta, I'm opening it up to all patrons! There may not be as many posts for $1 patrons, but I'm grateful for you guys and your support. ^-^

- Balance tweaks to Vhala's quest, including two extra points.

- The base portrait system now includes transformed Robin, both of Sabitha's forms, and mourning Zelica.

- Hopefully final keyboard/controller scripts from Rachnera.

- Additional bugfixing and polishing.

What to say about this one? This may not be the ideal balance for Vhala's quest, but it's the best I can do for the time being, so I may run with this. Also! Everyone who has had keyboard or controller feelings about the game, please take a look at Rachnera's script, just in case there's anything left to polish before it goes fully public.

There's a part of me that feels bad for not having this update out the door yet, but there are various things going on and sometimes that's how it goes. This hasn't stopped me from making great progress on the next update, though!

The $1 patrons are always silently watching. There are dozens of us. Dozens!

sierralee

You joke, but there are actually hundreds! I'm grateful so many people chip in to support me even though I can't offer much except progress reports.

AnythingAtAll

Most of the fun in supporting creators on Patreon is getting a behind-the-scenes look of the work. In that regard, you're very thorough. 👍

My game keeps saying it can't run without RPGVXAce RTP. How do I get that?

You should be able to download it from the RPG Maker website -www.rpgmakerweb.com/run-time-package

I'll be honest, I'm not the best with file stuff. will the steam version also get this update?

sierralee

The Steam version will always update when the release goes public (next week).

The Vhala Points from Vhala Nations and Vhala Support are added AFTER you choose to conclude the project. That means you need to get 90 VPs without those to get the Crest from the 7 chest. Is that intended? (I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself properly).

sierralee

Perfectly clear - I let myself get thrown off by overall optimization discussions. I'll set the chest to 85.

boop AGM

Good to know, thank you

Couple of things I found, this is a combination of the .1 and .2 versions but I don't think any of this changed. - I played through a version where Sarai was locked out, however when I completed her quest nothing changed (didn't join) and there was no event to get her to join. I thought the event might be broken, but I tried looking under the hood (which I usually don't do). I found that switch 3280 (SARAI NO SEXY TIMES) was not checked, even though in Gawnfall Herin proposal had more votes (and if I tried entering Sarai's room she said 'Nope'). Once I checked this box the event appeared and played through okay. I'm not sure how this switch would have been switched off. I did copy the save file over from a much early version of the game (0.60 or so) so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. - Related to Sarai's quest, for some reason the interaction point for Herin appeared in Cee'Kan related to Sarai's quest even though Kaskia was elected over Herin (Herin's not there, just the interaction point in front of where she would be). - A few things that triggered from a file where Trin was dead: - After Lilith's quest Lilith was available to start Trin's quest in Renthnor Wilds - Trin comments on the decision for what to do with Grynyth even when Trin is dead - In Lilith's Abode, after fighting 1st mimic, Hilstara will say "Did anyone else feel like their attacks were strange? I'm not sure I'll be able to defend anyone, here..." even when she is disabled. - Tertia's joining scene with Tertia/Yarra/Simon can trigger even if Simon in recovery mode. - Also triggered Simon/Wendis/Wynn scene from Wendis's quest in Wynn's house when Simon in recovery mode, although this one might be intentional because it's a memory. - In Wendis House, when interacting with tree (scene with Simon/Wendis), some of the sprites are still around (Lynine, Uyae, Yarra, Robin) while the rest are removed for the scene. After some experimenting, I found that they are removed from the scene if you have not spoken to them, but if you have spoken to them but not fulfilled their requests, then they are present in this scene.

sierralee

Regarding Sarai: I'm going to hope the switch is due to version issues, otherwise I have no theories. Barely anyone has mentioned this, however, so it's entirely possible something is off. Herin/Trin/Hilstara issues: Should be fixed now, thanks! Some scenes can intentionally be triggered while Simon is in recovery... I think I'm okay with these two. Wendis House: Good catch.

I don't know if I'm reporting this right, but I don't see the kid that "I wanna go learn to be a merchant! I wanna, I wanna!" in the Future Orphanage (the line is hilarious, BTW). The Megail's quest is completed. The name of the event is EV18.

sierralee

Dangit, never got back to the smith. Fixed, thanks! As for the kid, you're talking about the event off to the side, right? It's not visible because the last page dummies it out. To be perfectly honest, I don't 100% remember what I was doing with this, but I believe my intent was to have this kid appear in the postgame when the school is established.

Upthorn

Typos/text issues in 73.3. * When the old man is soliciting the new investment in Fuck Palace: "tradition wapons" should probably be "traditional weapons" * When speaking to Mithyn in Vhala's projection, her line about how she used to spend her existence "terrified of sexual magic" is too long by the word "goddess" causing the top line to scroll off before you can read it if instant text is on.

lostone2

You can get the Blade of Erosia before the incursion of the Lustlord Tower (so Ginasta is not on the party yet), as the only requisite is 3504: Kyangan smith ON. It should probably check if she is in the party or not. Talking about Equipment, it's great that Hilstara has such a great axe BEFORE the Incubus War, because of the bloody Bloody Seed (sorry not sorry) fight (now I only have to remember to bring enough Pins not to be paralyzed lol).

sierralee

Thanks, wasn't thinking about that.

WaxerRed

The new equipment looks pretty nice! Though some minor bugs to report! The sprite for the ninja who gives Ginasta her blade is standing on top of a statue, so she probably either needs to be moved or the statue deleted. Also the cost for Ginasta's blade is "0 gold" not sure if it was intended. For Megail's cloak of gold, there's no pop up text telling you that's what you received. (Though the item itself is in your inventory.) Speaking of Megail, perhaps she can have a 1 time exchange of all pron into sx? There's the bank in stineford, but they charge 10%, and also only exchange limited increments. Lastly, just wanted to check in case it was forgotten. When helping Rodak, in the offices there is an option to give "Normal" or "Extended" support. As far as I know, extended offers more at the moment benefit to Rodak, and no consequences as of yet.

Lamsey

The "I wanna go learn to be a merchant! I wanna, I wanna!" kid is a copy of the same event at (037,011) in the rebuilt Ari-Yhilina Slums (map 560), so I think Sierra's assumption is correct.

sierralee

Most of the easy things fixed! Except I think it's funny for the ninja to be standing on the statue. The Rodak Extend switch... is the sort of thing I'm glad to be reminded of. =/ No changes necessary in the short term, but I did not have this in my final battle notes.

Q-Riff

FIVE pieces of new equipment? I only detect four. the glove, the axe the Erosian blade, and the cloak of gold.

sierralee

I wasn't counting the cloak, but was counting the three different forms of Uyae's glove.

Rocer Perdon

When you go into the erosian temple, there's the old guy on the right of the entrance, but if you speak directly to him, the first dialogue is empty. However, when you talk to him again, it's normal.
