- Lots of bugfixing and improvements, as always.

TLS 0.32.1

 - You can now customize flowers in the training yard.

 - Patrici now has her proper custom sprite.

 - Andra has a new faceset.

 - The cathedral library has been updated, though not with much.

 - So many minor fixes.

So, yeah, look at that list. My attentions were extremely scattered this time - I am looking forward to being able to focus on a smaller plot section in the next update. So please let me know if there are any placeholders remaining or other fragmentary things! In fact, while writing this I noticed a minor thing that I forgot, but I don't want to upload again. >.> I'd like to take care of everything that I deferred before moving on.

Having said that, I hope people will find this update satisfying. There are three major plot pieces that have been long awaited. ^-^ If your Yhilin isn't in good enough shape to see the Janine content, you might be able to get there by spending all your investment money on improvements. And if not, you should have more to look forward to later in chapter four!

Though I'm working myself a little too hard, I'm elated at how much I've gotten done this month! I will have some fun new things to say later, but for now, let's focus on what I hope is a satisfying release of TLS. 

Comments

Ripe

Hm, a minor early comment... love the ceremony but somehow I doubt Sarai would use "god looks down" considering she's an priestess to a goddess. She might use gods considering there are other religions.

Bladestorm

Well this is a surprise, a pleasant one. Time to play it then.

Definitely My Name

Some of the text boxes that are longer seem to break the portraits, and the cancel button brings up the 'chat' text for the succubus in the high end magic shop. Pretty minor. The wedding was nice, and I can't wait to dig into this update more.

Grif end

Umm that's probably intentional but just in case it was not... We don't receive any pron in this update, other than that there was the church library that people listed before i was done with my post and the fact that varria still mentions the war in premium steel if you don't have all you need to craft her swords (at least i imagine only then).

Lord Forte Games

Think I got through most everything... Nice update overall. Yhilin stuff was very gratifying, as expected. Aside from the god mention above--which felt out of place, even if I assume it was probably an attempt to be religiously neutral; I might suggest "the divine" if you hadn't already mentioning having something you liked better. [Damnit enter XD] A few minor bugs. After ending the final dungeon, the screen tint doesn't go away. Also, if you go to return to the extradimensional space, it takes you back to the dungeon start point, which I assume is a different actual map. Also, I feel it might help to have some kinda popup after doing all 4 of the things there, since I finished but thought I was only at 3/4, so I circled around a ton because the finish sparkle was hard to see. Also, I noticed one spot on the lower left of the dungeon where there was no wall below the dirt (can get a screenshot if needed). Definitely some interesting stuff in the Tower... Also fairly hard boss in there, which I enjoyed. It was nice feeling like there was a fight I needed to use a more defensive build for. Also, the shard and the purple pillars by it are passable. I have my suspicions about the "thing" with such hatred... Which I kind of hope are wrong, but looking forward to finding out! Still going to search for anything I missed since I didn't scour everywhere yet, but enjoyed the update overall!

Dubsington

Quite a list of goodies, and earlier than expected! Will you be re-uploading with the minor bugfixes you've mentioned so far, or are those going to be in 33? (Trying to figure if I should wait a day or two before downloading.)

Wildeyes

I noticed that when you talk to Riala about research, you can just keep talking to her and complete all of the research projects right away. I assume that it's intended to have to wait for certain windows to continue research.

Jan Dietrich

My life has a meaning again!

Aaron Scott

Okay, I was not expecting the inclusion of musical fanfare at the completion of "Ralke's Quest" at the HQ! I freaking busted out laughing in a way that was hard to explain to others at the time!

werewindle

I encountered a crash upon viewing Wynn in Yarra's harem overview. Image missing?

Can't Wait

I think I might have found a small issue with the new sidequest in the Succubus Tower in the Stineford region, where you need to help them get ingredients (is that the side quest? It's conversation either way). The main issue I have with it is that I've found it on the initial visit to the Succubus Tower at the beginning of the game. Lines from Riala and mentions of the Chalice States might be a bit out of place at this point. I knew something good would come from me losing all my saves and starting over.

aosdh

There's a line break for the succubus that joins Simon's Castle courtyard

William M.

Found an amusing bug: over a year after they first convened, the Ecumenical Council is still in session discussing the Incubus Emperor and how to deal with him in Chapter 4.

DukeLeto7

Here's my itty bitty buglist/reactions. I skipped stuff others have noted. Orc in NE of Yhilini Soldiers' Bar finds that food is too "course" not "coarse". Yarra says "looking it" instead of "looking at" on meeting the little girl in Extradimensional Space. Cyberforte not only also noticed Sarai saying god too, he advised exactly what I did. Janine can clip through chapel pews. The sound effect for sipping from the definitely-not-goddess-shard reminds me of the opening of the Wicket Gate in Fit the Seventeenth of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Show. Can clip through purple magic thingees next to the definitely-not-goddess-shard, and the definitely-not-goddess-shard too. Purple bed purchasable at Lamia store not in the HQ Configuration Room. No new goals in main Arbiter Quest. SL appears in teleportation room to fire Yhilin Complete event every time you go through. Attempting to re-enter Extradimensional Space after creating the new HQ causes a repeat of the scene creating Extradimensional HQ. The research selection seems not to be working right, I could pick all four available options without getting booted back to HQ, which is probably not the desired behavior. Everything is tinted purple after leaving extradimensional space. It's probably paranoia, but I can't help wondering if the noble petitioning for biannual midseason ball funds every 41 days after the outbreak of the 3rd Arclent War might be ribbing the TLS Chonologists' community.

DukeLeto7

Going on a deep dive into investment data again. To preserve my tenuous sanity, can I assume that Givini Orc Merchant is the only existing investment option that has been tweaked?

Trevor

Nice update! A lot of cool things here. I noticed a few things though. All research with Riala can be done at once. Qum + Megail scene in reflect skill causes crash. Succubi outside Kingsmen bar has dialogue shifting upwards. Rose Quarter Lamia Vendor has no dialogue. Lamia Vendor has a strange object floating in the blackness to the right of her shop. Lamia statues don't show up in HQ editor after purchase. Buying items from Lamia vendor automatically deploys them in HQ (Books and Bed). Rose Quarter children moonwalk. Simon dialogue shifts upwards at Stark's temple. Yhilini succubi in HQ training ground has dialogue shift upward. Dialogue shift in Wynn 'Hafling' scene. In the Extra dimensional HQ we can walk over the shard and the orbs near the shard. If we try to return to the Extra dimensional HQ after receiving the message from Tyna we get dialogue as if we are entering for the first time this session. We are then teleported to the combat area and interacting with the entry point to move to the HQ plays the dialogue to build the HQ. Aka dialogue shifts upwards in conversation with House Rose Head after clearing demons. I may be going insane but is everything darker after the Extra dimensional dungeon? Lots of other thoughts about this update, but I'll hold off for now. It is bug squashing time.

Captain Hair

Good lord. I'm with Sarai on Andra's fate. That fall from grace is unreal. Unrelated note, I laughed when I took control of Janine and it looked like she was sprinting around the cathedral.

Aledeth

Anyone know what's required to get Wynn in the harem? I spoke to her in her house next to the grave, and it ended with her leaving. Is it an issue of lacking high enough relationship scores, or is she somewhere that I just didn't look?

Draz0000

In the location pictured in the January 21 update, it is possible to walk on the two purple spheres, and the shard.

Seil

Played through the update. It was kinda nice. Aside from bugs reported above, i don't have anything else to add. So, some questions, then. 1) What are the requirements for Altina sinergy skill? 2) Do you have to activate Yhilin event by talking to a SmileyFace or is it supposed to play on its own? Because i wasn't able to get Yhilin completion event and the wedding on its own. 3) When Sarai will join the harem? 4) And the last i guess. Where's the Yhilin's Lustlord temple? I.e. it's finished and succubi at Miner's Junction moved out and were replaced by Andra (that scene was kinda hilarious and sad at the same time, but i guess she had it coming).

Fulminato

i spotted a little dukeleto7 around ari-yhilina...

werewindle

Finally finished the update, that was a boatload of fun, great stuff. Alas, another bug report. I played from the end of v0.30, because I didn't trust the 31 saves, and for some reason I never got an "updated" Aram. From the beginning to the end the maps were cleared out, no Eustrin dude with another investment, no new monsters, no investigation into the Magekillers, even though I've seen all of that in v0.31. Perhaps an unreliable script switch?

sierralee

Well, everyone, normally I would want to have a polishing update out by now, but that isn't happening. Sometimes I can ride the flood of feedback, but this time it buried me - sorry about this! Gonna take a nap. -_-

Captain Hair

One thing I think should be mentioned if it hasn't yet is the everyone at the Cathedral library acts like the war is in progress.

Desuwa

I'm not sure if this was in an earlier version or if I just missed it, but when killing plague bats to get extracts for the imp, it counts against you for killing training monsters and the Orc's dialogue changes. I don't know the consequences so I just reloaded an earlier save. There doesn't seem to be a way to get the plague extract without killing the entire group of monsters. Killing just the plague bat and running away, which I thought was the solution, causes the plague bat to respawn without dropping anything.

sierralee

The game has been updated to 0.32.1! Links and details in the post. Duplicate bug reports do little harm, but do use the new version and check where possible.

Trevor

I played through 0.32.1 and it is much improved! I still found a few things and had some thoughts. Bugs: Dialogue shift in Wynn 'Hafling' scene. (4th dialogue window "It seemed to reach up insider her, higher and impossibly higher. Her hips were spasming") Purple tint after extra dimensional dungeon is finished. Small Statue has partially formed in HQ customization area (bottom left section with red orb). The positioning of some enemy groups in the Extra dimensional dungeon cuts off their health bars on the left. Andra scene dialogue boxes appear at the top of the screen, or is this intentional so we can see her sprite during the dialogue? Thoughts: No wedding music? Is it intentional that Balia doesn't attend the wedding? Elleani's presence seems odd. Despite the possible affection rating she and Simon/Janine haven't really interacted much of all. 4 disturbances in dungeon feels unclear, it took me awhile to realize 2 fights + weird girl + strange voice were what was needed. Maybe inform after all 4 are done. How extensive is the Yhilin final transformation supposed to be? The new Yhilin is very cool and it is nice to see it after all the ProN we have invested, but there are still some some NPC with unchanged dialogue and chat options that can feel a bit dated I'm not certain if it is something you want/plan to change but I thought I'd mention it. Thanks for all your hard work, Edit: Forgot 1. Riala responds as if research is already in progress.

Desuwa

In 0.32.1 I'm not able to start any research, Riala responds with "We'll be hard at work," immediately after research should have become available. edit: missed the above edit reporting the same issue

Jax

I've been wondering since we left Stineford initially, and now that we're finally back in Stineford... Are we ever going to interact with the Duke or his estate? I feel like we're so far beyond dukes at this point, but just was curious. I think it would be kind of funny for an interaction where the up-until-now non-introduced duke tries to throw his weight around and basically gets told he's unimportant. Haha. You're the genius behind the project--I just think it would be a nice little aside to complete Stineford (whenever that eventually happens). As always, fantastic work Sierra! Thank you for all the hard work you do!

Edward Culham

Was a pretty good update as far as I can tell and like how much things changed in the world. My only disappointment that I have is that we didn't get more Pron to invest though not sure how much time was suppose to have passed in the game this time

Desuwa

I've noticed at least two choices where cancelling them (with the X or ESC keys) takes an action the player wouldn't expect. The portal beside the bed summons Janine when you try to cancel it. The other one was when dealing with the warehouse full of demons for House Rose when you interact with the portal. You're given two choices, one of which is "Not Now" but cancelling with X picks the other option. If you Summon Janine but then cancel out of her dialog without selecting Sex or Chat she remains awkwardly standing on the portal. edit: remembered the dialog choice

V

Enjoying the new content a lot especially the bits with Janine. Noticed a crash in 32.1 though. Reflecting on the shard sipping seems to crash for me.

onepot

First, great update, as always! '- Full base bookshelves courtesy of Decanter.' If that's meant to refer to the HQ library, I don't see them. Mostly empty bookshelves for me, same as last update. Also I wonder, will there ever actually be a bath scene in the HQ? With Yarra so excited about it, it feels like it should have happened by now. Also also, I hope the new additions (Stark's scene at the Stineford shrine, the Merchant Camp squabble) are retroactive, meaning they become available as soon you get to exploring the world first after acquiring the base? Also³, I can't seem to equip Stark's Cloak to anyone, it doesn't show up in the equipment screen. So I assume it's orc gear that I can later give to Orcent when he's an active party member? Finally, I just noticed that (Reshaped) Varia still only has her one default sex scene. I have her at 89 affection, will there be more unlocked at 100? Or is that just missing now? I need moar Varia plz... (:

Miggo

Not sure if its already been mentioned but the magecraft (I think that what it was called?) bed isnt an option in the hq control room so if you change it for something else you cant get it back. Also noted the dark tinge after finishing the extradimensional space but I see its already been said. Enjoyable update as always anyway.

DukeLeto7

Investment issue that Lostone2 and I were not sure about. Apparently it's possible to invest in the Dwarven Embassy in Ardoheim in Ch. 4 if you didn't in Megail's Path. Looking at the event structure, and there not being any likelihood of another diplomatic conference any time soon, my suspicion is that this is a coding oversight and not a genuine investment opportunity, but I wanted to raise the question with you.

Captain Hair

Too lazy to check. in 0.32.1 the new plot scene with the succubi crashes the game when you try to access it from the Reflect menu.

Dubsington

Can someone tell me if more ProN is available somewhere in this release? Lots of new things to invest in, but I have zero balance :-(

Dubsington

Minor bug in 32.1; The Wynn "halfling" affection scene, the 4th screen of text overflows a bit.

Dream Fractal

Bug in 32.1: Where 32.0 let you complete all of Riala's research programs, 32.1 lets you conduct none of them. In 32.1, when I load a save file from inside the (first) extradimensional dungeon and return to reality, dialogue says that Riala will have research available, but when I ask her about "Research" she says she's already working on it, even though I haven't made a selection of program.

Zoolifer

Splat Report: When breaking into Kingsmen shop in Rose district with Dari after returning from Ziritania it transitions to the Lamia shop thus making it impossible for the sequence to complete. Also minor stuff but was unable to aquire the shining sword from the sphinx statue as well as the extra Sx from the golden statues in the Incubus Pyramid

Skull Leader

Bug Report: The Tower Region Map Jumping Issue The top left most jump location on that map can be approached from the right rather than from the top or the bottom as intended. When approached from the right you can jump right over the gap and land into empty space. And then you can hop right back. Its a bit of a silly action for sure but should be fixed. Bug 32.1: Yarra's Harem Report Crash So talking to Yarra and opening her harem report after adding Wynn and going over to Wynn's in the list, always crashes the game for me, with an error of unable to find file. I suspect its a bad reference link on her picture that is issue here. Other bugs I found have already reported, like purple taint and not being allowed to research. This update is wonderful like always, though it I had to comment on something just not feeling right it would be the Yhilian Mercenary Offices. There does not seem like a point with talking with anyone there. It is a big map for a building that while having several characters there to talk to but no one says anything useful or entertaining that makes me feel like they were worth talking to. I would of got just as much satisfaction in the end talking to a guard outside the compound refusing me entry to what I found going inside the place at its current state. But this is a minor complaint I have.

Phil

Just downloaded it, can#t start new research. Damn.

Phil

How much longer do we need to keep the copy of Janine's uncle past the wedding?

Edward Culham

Actually a good idea for there are some that is not likely needed anymore and can be done with. Aramite jade clerk and soldiers come to mind

John Hendricks

Having some trouble progressing the plot, i got janine but can't find anything past that.

Dee G

Typo: the succubus in the training ground (below Balia's optional orc lab) describes the group as "to sexy to get hurt."

Lamsey

Sorry for the late feedback, hope I'm not too late (it's been a busy week). General feedback: * I greatly enjoyed the philosophical conversations with Orcent and Stark. * The second extradimensional dungeon was a good challenge, and your ominous foreboding game is on point. * The new sprites are looking good. It's nice to see the Orcs in proper Yhilini armour. * FUCK YEAH JANINE. I'm so fucking happy for her.

Separate post to attract more eyes: Decanter asked me to make a new version of the Helvanna music to reduce the volume of the overly-loud notes at 0.30, 0.32, 0.41, 1.08, and 3.23: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/hahqy265onrs8hn/Succubus%20City.ogg?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/hahqy265onrs8hn/Succubus%20City.ogg?dl=0</a> I'd appreciate it if someone with better ears than me was willing to give it a listen to see if it's an improvement, and to make sure I haven't introduced any distortion. The method I've used is fairly inelegant, but it sounds OK to me; past experience has told me that my ears aren't as sensitive as others, though. If you want to test it in-game, just drop it into your TLS 0.31.4/Audio/BGM folder instead of the current one (which you might want to copy elsewhere first if you want to compare the two).
