Hey, everyone! Version 0.51.0 was launched successfully without any major issues, so I aim to make version 0.51.1 a more polished release in a few days instead of a quick patch. I'll send notifications for the previous thread about that when it happens.

$10 backers waiting on scenes, there's actually more than a complete set ready, I'm just off schedule. I'll include both new sets in a big update, plus there's a major update due for the image pack.

Recently I've been tired and struggling a bit with a few aspects of my creative life, so having people embrace the content in the last update has been a balm for the soul. ^-^ I've been building up to some of this payoff for a long time, so I'm glad many of you find it satisfying. As we move forward, more and more of TLS will be shifting into payoff mode.

If you haven't yet gotten a notice about the NSFW game bundle, or ignored the early link, feel free to check it out:

It's a bunch of games from various developers, all around 50% off. So far the bundle has exceeded projections by a bit. I get an unchanging percentage of the bundle's profits regardless of which tier/games you buy. It's not that much (this is more about cross-promotion), but please take a look in case one of the games is something you'd want anyway!

More from me at varying times, but hopefully we're entering a quieter period soon.

Another day, another update from Sierra making me feel lazy. Congrats on the launch, and godspeed onward

That one will be fixed in the upcoming .1 update.

Here's a question. Whatever happened to the old Yhilini Ambassador? Haven't seen him since the end of the trade negotiations in ch3. I'd be interested to see his take on being manipulated by Simon/Dargai during the Ardford Summit vis a vis the Orc Extermination and Unperson motions. In the same vein, the Aramite Ambassador has not been seen since the Ardford Summit, and there might be space for him to appear at one of the Final Eustrin negotiating tables, if only for flavor. He was an interesting character.

OK, this may be me not understanding event code again. There's a teleport marker event in Eustrin B4 that's supposed to appear near the veneration of stone when 3821: Eustrin Final is on, leading to the optional Tower Concrete boss fight. I have 3821: Eustrin Final on, but there is no portal. I'm wondering if it's somehow possible that there was a previous Event 029 in the map that my save has self switch B on for. Or maybe it's the blank 4th event page superseding the other 3?

Errata: Text Overflow on the Dwarven Ambassador in Ardford's new dialogue.

Old Yhilini Ambassador: My memory is faulty here, but I really thought I had him make a cameo appearance somewhere recently... Aramite Ambassador: Since he works in Ardoheim, his presence wouldn't be critical, but I do think that'd be a neat cameo appearance. Boss Fight: There was going to be a boss fight, but the enemies aren't done, so I dummied the event out with the fourth page. Text Overflow: Fixed, thanks!

It's possible that I should not assume an enemy is in the game if it appears in the database dump file and its troop has a battle processing line in the event contents dump file... ...but I admit nothing. If the Yhilini Ambassador had a cameo in CH 4 or 5, it was either subtle enough that I missed it completely or Trin and Wynn have been screwing with my memory again. But that would explain some other things...

The Yhilini ambassador showed up in this update to offer certain saves a way to bribe their way back into Ardford. Other than that, event dump indicates we haven't seen him since 3AW.

DukeLeto7

That would explain why I don't remember seeing him...

When TLS is ever finished, I would love for there to be a "story mode" where the difficulty is ramped downwards a lot. I'm not a good strategist and I keep finding myself getting my party killed by optional bosses like Aka's quest. It breaks immersion for me to be able to defeat some of the most godlike beings in the universe only to suffer humiliating deaths and have to retreat. :(

Secular Reason

...And apparently now editing a comment deletes it. Wonderful. Especially for a person like me who *never* gets his comment right the first time and always adds more later. Greaaat. Okay. You asked for ways to "cheese" the boss in Aka's quest. Not sure if I just got lucky first try and found the "right" way to defeat it, but I'm pretty sure I didn't. Leftmost boss - this one I think I actually did right. Aka's deathblow attack inflicted that death next turn status, and he went down quick. Rightmost boss - this one I'm pretty sure I cheesed. Held it down with corrupt over and over, while Aka poisoned it and just let it die via 499 poison damage per turn. Center boss - just did the normal stat lowering and physical damage. Not sure if corrupt would work on the others, already saved past the boss, and the left boss was the last one alive in my fight.

While not an official offering, there is a "story mode" mod linked from the wiki, which allows most fights to be instantly won if desired.
