Everything is in progress and nothing is finished. I don't like it. =/ But hey, let's talk about one element of the progress: I've finished writing all the sex scenes for the next version of TLS. There are more than usual, because the party needs stress relief after all the political developments (and a few characters have issues they want to talk about).

With 0.34.x, TLS will pass a milestone. Maybe not an important one, but I've been waiting for it. By my count, the total word count of all TLS sex scenes has passed 100,000 words.

For comparison, 100k is a good average for a novel. The YA and romance genres can be 40-50k, many contemporary novels are about 80k, huge fantasy novels are bigger. But 100k is a nice round number - and TLS has that many words in sex scenes alone. I don't even want to think about how many words it would take to cover the equivalent plot and characters in pure prose form.

Sadly, I did not unlock any kind of achievement for this and it doesn't really mean anything. But I thought it was neat. ^-^

I want to release Ouroboros on Steam soon, but it's being held back by obnoxious little things. The good news is that I've already gotten it through the Steam approval process - the question is if I give up on having a trailer or achievements. Not sure how that will go. One thing I can promise is that there will be a preview of the stress relief project for $10 backers mid-week.

Anyway, we'll be seeing this work pay off over the coming period!

Thanks for all the hard work sierra, speaking as someone who's been there since the fucklord days, how much the gamd has grown has been amazing ti watch and be a part of

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: MASTER PORNO WORDSMITH

DukeLeto7

As always, you're a productivity inspiration to me at least. Here's a fun lore question to distract you. In addition to the known Dwarren kingdoms of Eustrin, Vestrin and Suorin, what are the betting odds that we will learn of an additional extant or former Dwarren Kingdom called something like "Nororin"?

aosdh

I sadly lack any clever lines to quip to this response, but good work Sierra.

Charles

And to think, all that PLOT is just lube for the actual, deep, penetrating plot. What a funny world you've built.

sierralee

All I'll say is that you guessed the spelling correctly. =P

SantaTheHutt

Congrats! Your game now has as many words dedicated to porn in it as an average Laurell K Hamilton novel, only better written.

Achievement Achieved! (>'-')>

austin fagan

congrats on the achievement sierra i can't wait to see what you keep coming up with

sierralee

Ah, that's interesting. I've seen similar lists before, but not ones that tried to balance both English words and Japanese characters. There's no easy way to get a wordcount on TLS, but I've made efforts in the past and my estimate comes out somewhat lower than that. Of course, just putting down a lot of words is not the goal! XP I hope that when TLS is finished, the total will be large, but more importantly, a total that people agree is appropriate for the length of the story.

Somebody made a comment about the stress relief project that they either deleted, or the Patreon spam filter ate. To answer some questions: - The project is a long way off from commercial release, but may get there eventually. - I think the final game will be about $5 value. - Patrons at all levels will get more information as it progresses.

Minor bug in 0.33.4: In chapter 4, if you try to exit Aram through the south, then hit cancel when the menu asks if you want to stay, go to headquarters or go to Yhilin, you're teleported to Yhilin instead of remaining in Aram. Also, a question: Is it on purpose that Yhilini Public Works II does not appear to have any visible impact on Yhilin, as opposed to the very visible statues of Yhilini Public Works I?

Jan Dietrich

That would be me then. Sorry about that, i tried typing it in over my cell phone but i became frustrated with deleting words who somehow had been doubled....just don't ask. Either way, now that i'm thankfully sitting in front of my PC: Thanks for the answer. I was originally intending to ask another question though, regarding the Crimson Gray DLC. You've said something about it being essentially done, but that you're waiting for some art. Do you a) can give any estimation, when it will be ready for Steam-release? Loved the game, so i'm really hyped about it. And b) have the contacts i shared with you been helpful? Feel free to contact me per PM for b). I wish you well Sierra.

Jan Dietrich

Not sure wether i'm demented or just need to go to an older save of my playthrough(s) but aren't the statues from II?

sierralee

No worries. On the Crimson Gray DLC, I wish I could give any kind of date but I cannot. When I asked the artist about it about 1.5 months ago, she basically said she was booked for the near future. I also haven't gotten proper feedback on the first draft yet. I will send you a message in a bit!

sierralee

Fixed the Aram exit, thanks! I added Yhilini Public Works II basically as a way to invest resources into Janine, and didn't have anything particularly in mind for cosmetic changes. So it's not an accident, but I guess I could change it if there was reason.

Kyle S

I would suggest adding a quip from Janine that she's disappointed some noble appropriated the funds and therefore no real changes happened. Bit thanks for trying anyway. :)

Kyle S

I tried typing up a "wordy words" acheivmemt from qum but i lack the ability to emulate her spirit. I recentley (friday the 13th) lost my job. Decided to use my new free time for two things. First trade stocks, going very well. The second I played through all of TLS, while trying to max out everything, reading the fan wiki and walkthrough. All in all after 60+ hours I'm finally at the new update. The sheer amount of content I missed before is crazy. You've truly built a living changing world. I still missed aka's spell pickup in Simon's path -_-. Thank you so much for this game. When it's finished I'll probably spend another 100+ hours doing it the correct way. Thank you ^-^

Rachnera

According to the wiki, this investment increases the same (secret) stats as Public Works I, so I don't think the money got sidetracked. I guess this could be handwaved as changes in the lesser known districts of the cities, the ones we don't get to visit.

sierralee

Well, I'm sorry to hear about your job, but wish you luck in everything new you're doing! And glad to hear you're still enjoying TLS. Honored to have your longstanding support. ^-^

Kyle S

Glad to see the progress you've made since playing update 10

Desertopa

I'm kind of surprised you actually have all the sex scene text compiled anywhere that would allow you to get a wordcount on it. Of course, I probably shouldn't be; my surprise says more about my general level of organization than yours.

sierralee

It's because all the scenes start in a word processor. Writing dialogue in the text boxes works for me... writing paragraphs of prose does not. So for all the scenes, I write and edit them in a document, then add them into the engine only during the last step.

Hey, thanks! DoW was an "older" game in some ways, but I'm glad it could still be enjoyed. ^-^ I'll try to keep improving the quality as I move forward!
