We have something entirely different for the fanart this week: a set of plushie renders! To be clear, these are not real products, just artificially generated images. This doesn't stop them from being cuddly-looking. ^-^

You remember when I said that TLS bugs were dropping off? Well, apparently not, because I had to spend quite a bit of time tackling them this week. If you count all the individual events I had to modify to account for a character being dead, I've made hundreds of fixes to the game. Most of the bugs are for edge cases that may or may not ever have been encountered, but there were some concerning ones too. I want to make the game experience as smooth as possible, though, so I'll keep working.

Sadly I'm not even through all the reports, but I hope to get them done before TLS 1.2.0. Annikath is making great progress on the Chapter 4 scenes, so the path to that build is open. At a certain point it will come down less to art than when is a good time for my schedule. More on that later.

You remember when I said I was on fire, feeling like I could do everything? Well, that hasn't changed! I cannot be stopped, hahahaaa! In all seriousness, this has been a great period for me without any dips in energy, so I continue to try to be on top of everything.

Last week I put out a new build for DStP (for backers) and made great progress getting ahead on all writing-related stuff. Slave Rehabilitator has been a little stalled while Kali is on vacation, but that will pick up in the future, I'm sure. So overall I'm feeling really good about things!

Looking forward, I have some set releases and other promotional junk in June, so I may just make that month the sacrificial time of promo. That still leaves me with a little April and all of May for raw creative work, so wish me luck. ^-^

I thought we were about to get plushies

I would happily spend too much money to acquire plushies.

I think you shouldn't beat yourself up on there being bugs given the immense complexity of the game, the fact that there's only one of you... ...and that the guy who combed through the code and dialogue looking for those bugs both has too much free time and is clearly insane.

I want the Yarra plush so much! It's so cute. Wonderful design.

The plushie idea is so cute! I don't normally ever buy physical merch for anything, but I'd definitely make an exception for stuff from your games. Especially TLS! 🥹 That all being said though, it is really disappointing to see an official endorsement of generative AI stuff. As much as the concept of the dolls is still cute, that factor does ruin the joy of the idea :( (my sleep deprived brain only just recently reread the post and learned it was generated, hence my edit to the comment now) please don't support that in the future!

Those plushies are so cute. I want to see the Nalili, Esthera, and Sabitha ones. Looking forward to the new art.

As a wise girl once said.... "OH MY GOD, IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE !!!!" ^^ (Despicable Me)

This would be a shut up and take my money moment if this was real.

Annikath

I dislike generative ai being posted here, regardless of how cute the plushies are... even if they were "fanart".

sierralee

Also a valid perspective, and I'm sorry if there are any negative repercussions of posting it here. The goal was just to make patrons smile, but I understand it could also have the opposite effect.

Until today I never knew how much I needed a TLS plushie. This might actually be a solid business idea. I once bought a plushie on Makeship, and as far as I know one can start a Kickstarter-like project for their plushie there for little to no upfront cost.

If I was rich enough I'd solo-fund the Yarra plush
