Phew, okay, TLS 0.74.2 is out. There's still a lot more work to do, but things seem stable and are moving in the right direction.

I don't want to overstress the finality of the final battle and minimize the importance of the remaining updates (perhaps I'll write about that sometime), but I am feeling a sense of relief. The final battle ties up a lot of loose ends and concludes many parts of the story, both of characters and of variables. If I get hit with a bus tomorrow, TLS won't be a never-finished Patreon project.

That said, I care about TLS and want to do it right, hence the entire week of bugfixing and revising. This process will continue until I'm happy that this key piece of the game is complete, then I'll move on to the next important pieces.

However, this won't be happening immediately. There were a large number of things that I put off to focus so much on the final battle, and those things are rearing their head one way or another. My poor book fans have been waiting long enough, for example. Three things, two relevant in a week and one right now.

1) My newest book in The Weirkey Chronicles will be coming out next weekend and, for the first time ever, the series will be free on Amazon. I'm hoping this will give an overall boost, but obviously it's a good chance if you want a copy for free.

2) So much behind-the-scenes stuff that needs to happen this week. -_- Perhaps none of it relevant to you, but perhaps you'll hear more in the future.

3) I am doing some long overdue promotional posts for Depthless Hunger (the image above is a cover for the series), so please click on those:

Is that all? Maybe. I will have my hands full trying to keep up with TLS work while catching up on everything else.

"If I get hit with a bus tomorrow" I know the party just punched destiny to death in the final battle (maybe, I haven't gotten to it yet lol), but please don't tempt it like that. 😭

Please don't get isekai'd like that.

I think I'm not talking only for myself when I say "please stay healthy". I understand what you want to say but the way you say it is a little frightening.

Also, about point 2, is it good news or bad news ? The way you say it make me think it is bad news, but maybe I overthink this.

Just finished the final battle this morning after staying up all night to do so. Needless to say it was highly engaging. I can only imagine how much passion and work you have put into this. Thank you for making such an amazing world and characters for me to experience. Can’t wait to begin the Weirkey chronicles!

No, don't interpret it as ominous. It's a mix of boring administrative stuff and business things that might potentially be good in the future, but might not come to anything.

sierralee

Thank you for your message. ^-^ I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the final battle!

But maybe she'd get isekaied into the world of TLS and actually live it

I'll be honest, I know nothing about your books, but that picture is amazing. Now, books are obviously a very different medium from a game, but how would you compare them in terms of style and overall themes? All your RPGM games seem to have a roughly same-ish general theme of fighting against the very nature of the world (TLS with its destiny and lust/purity rules, OEA with its fairy tales rules, DoW with its death veil and Ouroborous literally being a game inside of a world), would you say your books are somewhat similar?

sierralee

Normally I'd have trouble comparing the different mediums, but you've made it easy by specifying themes! Yes, you'll see many of the same elements in my books. Depthless Hunger in particular is heavy on the theme of fighting against the world, while the others vary (in the same sense that my games vary).

Makesin

Thank you for your reply.

Regardless we would still greatly prefer it if you did not get hit by a bus. Maybe just avoid all buses for a little while.

Congrats on finishing such a huge milestone! I had a lot of free time recently, but no computer access and started rereading Weirkey, so this is perfect timing for me. I just pre-ordered it. Apparently it'll be released...today. Guess I'd better pick up the pace. I'm not at a high enough tier to access the early build of TLS, so I can't comment on the final battle other than to say I'm looking forward to figuring out which save file I'm on and diving into it when it's released publicly. Thanks for all your hard work over these many years.

sierralee

Thanks! Hope you enjoy your reread, and the new book is indeed coming out today! TLS work continues and the new build should be released to your tier in time, though I can't say exactly when.
