 Here we go, version 0.22.3:

Link: https://mega.nz/#!X11mQbTa!OgcAN0UIVrUh0GW8_xB-prd8JFrgphVCDxRWwVld3ao 

RTP: https://mega.nz/#!Tx9xlDzD!R8Y3CTHZHihiON1kJtTjJ_ll1RASZPhUiv8_1bSsR7E 

Compared to the average update, a lot more of the content this time is potentially locked away. That's because this time I tried to do the majority of all future Yhilin updates. There will still be unique events, like the Church quest this time, but hopefully in the future I won't need to spend an entire update cycle on Yhilin, it will just be included with another update.

One of the major pieces of that is the discretionary budget stuff. Though they might not be unlocked for your save, every possible investment for chapter three is now available. By the end of the chapter you'll be able to afford many... but not all, of course. ^-^

Do provide feedback on the amount of content distributed around the city. Basically, I want there to be enough new things that players feel like the city is changing and that they're rewarded for looking around, but not so much that returning to Yhilin feels like a laundry list. This part is open to revision.

Aw yea been staying up all night just waiting for this.

Argenten

Woohoo! I finally have some time to myself from work and the holidays and what do I find? MORE TLS! yaaaay! Thanks for all the hard work Sierra, really appreciate your efforts here and with KoD as well.

Arrngrim

Story so deep, hentai much strong, me likey!

Ripe

First of all: YAY!!!!! Update is here! Second, I found a bug. If you use Simon's Reflect skill to check new scenes game crashes saying that it's unable to find file...

Zaiaku

Found a bug. In the House Rose District, the conversation loops with the "I'm thinking about moving out of Ari-Yhilin..." part. found the reason, you kept the last part of her dialogue on autorun.

Anonymous

Found a bug: Talking to Robin multiple times about research allows you to complete all of them

Censuur

You can currently keep accepting the cooperation and individual trials at the order of thaumaturgy for endless amounts of experience, seems it doesn't clear them properly. I should also mention the conversation between Ralke and the Chosen was great.

sierralee

Okay, enough seriousish bugs have been reported that I definitely plan to put out a new version before I go to sleep. So please do report any bugs you find over the next few hours!

Jax

Most of the ones I found have already been reported, but there's a small odd one in the Cathedral with Aka and Sarai--when you try to talk to Aka, she is completely unresponsive. She does a weird little turn and glitches back to her forward facing position without saying anything. Relatively minor compared to everything else I've seen reported, but yeah! Love the new update!

Censuur

After clearing up the Yhilini bank clerk asking Trin about her duplicates still leaves him listed, the count of possible copies seems to have gone up by one though.

Morningfrost

Looks like most of the bugs I found have already been reported. Did find one other, however. When speaking with the cloaked figure at the end, I was placed back in the Queen's bedchamber but with a black screen. Menu worked, if I found the correct positioning I could speak with both Janine and Megail. ~Morningfrost

Argo The Ratfolk

So somewhat silly question, would it be better to just wait and play through the most recent update again after you release the bug fixed version soon, or can I still progress through the new content as is bugs not withstanding? Like will my most recent progress/choices be erased/reset or anything? (I understand if it needs to be in order to fix certain bugs) Just wondering :)

SJ99998

I think I might have found a minor inconsistency: The wagons in the square are back up and running again in my Yhilin, but there's still someone asking "Dammit, how are we supposed to get around the city now?"

sierralee

The upload of 0.22.1 has just finished, and the new links are now in the post! Anyone reporting from 0.22.0, please check before this post to see what has been reported. Anyone playing 0.22.1, please report new bugs after this post. Enjoy!

Captain Hair

I love what you do with politics in this game, always so much fun to read. Must say that the dwarven situation worries me more than Aram. And a dwarven queen..... I can't wait to see Yarra and/or Nalili's reaction.

Darthjake

Great Job Sierra, and my first thought reading your post was that you took your own advice from Ouroborus and broke the cycle. :D

ECD

Minor bug. After completing the encounter with Andra, every time I talk to Sarai, the long conversation repeats.

Frankieo

Uh, public release was 0.22.2 Why is this release 0.22.1 now? xD

Doodlesnap

I found a minor bug where when you finish the intro into the next chapter, the screen goes dark in the waiting room.

Jax

So with the release of 0.22.1, and the fixing of the two magic tests at the Order (which was reported for 0.22.0); is the middle path (with the "final" test) at the Order meant to not be accessed in this release? After completing the two tests and trying to take the final one, I get a message that says something about needing to finish all 4 tests first. But when I go to both altars (and both sigils), all four of them say that it is complete. It felt like a bug (seems a little odd to not be able to complete that when there isn't a barrier and I've finished the tests) which is why I'm reporting it. Also, just discovered the dialogue between the Chosen and Ralke, and laughed SO hard. That was awesome.

Darthjake

So I'm curious, what answer did you all choose for the Dwarf Queen? I'm waffling between a letter back and direct communication.

HarmlessArachnid

A wonderful job as usual. Thank you!I find a few typos during my firs playt

SJ99998

The 0.22.1 update breaks choosing a new line of research for me; Robin only replies with "I'll focus on my current course of study for now" when I select Research. I think the conditional branch applies to the wrong set of dialogue; I switched it to "Now that I'm comfortable here in Yhilin...", and that solved the problem for me. That's what I think, anyways; my knowledge of coding is next to nonexistent!

be

A good update as usual, I got nothing constructive except two possible silly nitpickings. The first is Balia, when you enter her room you instantly get forced to decide which orc attribute to focus on. just wondering if its best to be able to talk to her to choose that option, so people can be prepared and save in front of her before choosing. The second is when Aka goes to assassinate that priest, in the story she is shown not to be available at that time (if I understod it right) but she's still a playable character during the assault even though she shouldnt be there. These are all nothing big at all, just throwing what I got out there.

Ripe

I need a slight clarification about how Houses of Petition work to see if I understand correctly. The House located at Court will add 100% to whatever we have left each time we return to Yhilin, while the House located in the Slums got 100% and that's it, there will be no new funds allocated there? Another question concern Mercenary initiative... we can either invest 20% to act locally or 100% for national initiative. If we invest only 20% now, will we be able to expand at some later point? I'd assume yes, but person making the proposal doesn't say anything about it one way or the other...

Skull Leader

Bug: Not sure if this was reported but it seems that if you go into the Robin Solo trail without Robin in the active party, you go into the battle and instantly win the fight, completing the trial successfully. Another small thing that makes me raise an eyebrow is the leftover Robin talk when you examine the fake Cult door in the Slums. Shouldn't Simon say that line now? Favorite Line of the Update: "Counter-argument: I've met her."

Terrence

You have done an awesome job with this update; I love the character development and their struggle with the encounter of gods.

IndefatigablyBeatific

I've discovered an interesting bug, as it seems if I load a save from 0.20.0 into 0.22.0, something misfires. Rather than the conversation with Janine, then appearing in the meeting point, and then appearing in the world map, you appear straight in the world map. This causes the meeting point and the area where you find Iris to behave as they do in 0.20.0, meaning you transition into an incorrect version of each area. This remains true in 0.22.1. If there's anything besides just reporting the issue I can do to help, let me know.

A1llas

Had a blast looking for all the changes and the comments from the people. Awesome looking forward to every new release. One thing stuck out might be an error might be my old save was flawed. When you go to the mages the leftmost would not complete so I couldn't complete the initiation.

Secular Reason

I have the wood from Dargheldaron "Land of Green Deep Green Forests?"(Darghelon and Gheldaron mixed?) and I would assume that the "stong elven mage" would be one of the two elders dependign on whether it is lightwood or darkwood? But I can't make Altina's custom weapon. Intended or oops? Also, in the house of petitions, I can pay for both the Aram border AND the Ardoheim border. Not just one or the other, and I can keep choosing either. Maybe it was intended to be able to choose both, but the dialogue option for choosing them again shouldn't be a thing. I don't see "There are no second tries when it comes to defense sir!" at all.

sierralee

I just put out a 0.22.2 to cover the bugs raised recently. No need to replay if you already have, but I hope this makes things smoother for new people playing and easier for the people who will do thorough debugging.

Skull Leader

Bug tested in 022.2 - Same area (Robin trials) - So now if you go into the robin solo fight without her, you go to the battle screen with the monsters, then the robin picking screen hits you...and then straight, without fighting, you win the battle, but now you have Robin in the front of the party so she is in character running around on the maps. And then the 2nd rooster change event back to the normal party but you can not put Simon back in the front slot so that he leads. So now I can run around as Simonette to my hearts content. Further testing with/without Robin in that fight has indicated that the Robin forcing party mechanic happens after the fight, its just a matter of does the game let you fight it out or not. And when I tested the Robin group battle, I went in without her, game did the entire battle, I win and then the Robin forcing her in to the party event happen after the battle was over. So it does not work as it should if the player is trying to be difficult.

Bladestorm

I did this in the old version of 22.1but when I donate to help the elven people all my members of elven nature besides altona increases by 5 I would think altona would increase as well if this is was on purpose then I apologize bring this up.

Argo The Ratfolk

Ok one thing I noticed just now is that if you choose to restore the nobles to gratuity, Janine's RP drops from 100 to 95, is that supposed to happen? (Also I am unsure what exactly this investment is per say and why Janine doesn't like it? I thought it was paying nobles on the fence/lesser important nobles to rise in the ranks in return for your support. Wouldn't Janine like having their support rather than them being against you? This bug-if it is a bug and not Janine's RP working differently from the other girls-appears on all the version of the game I have played so far )

Argo The Ratfolk

Also one more thing regarding the light/darkwood, I never seemed to actually get the item despite having spoken to her with the necessary rare ingredients I had to buy (The emerald leaves which according to the wiki should work), along with 7 of the 8 (I missed the blue butterfly lady one somehow ;/) Kingsfail leaves. if I recall the dialogue went along as if I was getting the lightwood, but I ended up leaving the hermit after the one time trade with the alchemy amulet, grey lotus and all those other rewards for the leaves, along with the emerald leaves, but no lightwood. I will try to reply the elf section tonight and see if I can figure what caused the bug :()

Samuel Edwards

Not exactly a bug, but when chatting with Aka she references the whole assassination thing as soon as I've returned to Yhilin, before actually talking to Sarai and coming up with the actual plan.

SJ99998

In the Archon Inn, should there be a man at the front desk who appears when Acceptance is above 30? Currently, he's set to appear when variable 0001 is at that level.

Curtis S.

Great update as usual. Love so much of the dialogue. Many great ones have been mentioned, but I’ll add Sarai’s “Best Fucking High Priestess Ever” conversation, the conversation with the head of House Thelon (“Love is deaf, I guess.”), Qum and Dari’s unsexy dead fish conversation, the Fancy Walk orc, and the “You're a better man for not taking the power, but not a smarter one." conversation. I just finished a quick playthru, and, besides things others have mentioned, I noticed the following. During the succubine foursome, it says, “It seemed Yarra's plan was to move Nalili to lie in front of her Qum.” The “her” seems like a mistake. Also, when talking to the priestess in the House of Petitions, she says, “That hardly matters now, does it? My goal here is to transform a once useless building into one that can be a help to the people of YHilin in this dark time.” The “h” in “Yhilin” is accidentally capitalized. Finally, after the attempted coup, Trin “restored” the guards. Now, it seems like a surprise that she can do so. After that part of the game, I assumed she could and that it was fairly easy. Now she says it’s a huge pain. You might want to maybe change the earlier events to her “dismissing” or “dispelling” the guards or something. While I’m thinking about it, there are a couple of things that seemed off about that sequence, to me anyway. After seeing Trin making copies of the guards, Yarra asks, “You're controlling them? You have some kind of seduction magic?” Given that she had already seen Trin duplicating them, that seems to be the wrong conclusion for her to draw. Similarly, when you first meet Janine, she says, “The enemy appears able to... replace people. I don't know if I will ever feel safe again.” Given that Janine did NOT witness Trin duplicating anyone, that seems like quite an intuitive leap. It would be more plausible for Janine to assume her guards were being controlled than replaced, unless she witnessed it offscreen when Trin was waylaid by the Royal Guard. Finally, there’ll be a slight delay on the next version of Thenours. Something came up which seems to be distracting me. Now, if you need me, I’ll be playing the hell out of this update. Edit: Also, when she introduces herself to Ginasta, both "Reliar" and "Orilise" are in green text. Given the context, only "Reliar" should be in green.

sierralee

Version 0.22.3 has been uploaded. I really hope this one is good enough until the public/polishing release.

Ripe

I have a feeling that I'll be going back to this point in the game a lot... there are so many options for investing that it will take awhile to figure out what is "best" option. I mean, do I want to have succubi paying fees? Depends... will that reduce cost of other investments (since I'll be getting more taxes)? And there are similar questions about every one of them.

Zyrus

So, a weird thing came up while I was exploring the slums this update. That building where Big Man was gives me an old man with white hair asking me to chat with him, and there's no one there.

Jan Reese

I've got a bug with the robin mages initiation trial, i have completed all four trials but when i try to go through the center pathway robin says she still needs to complete the four other trials

Scol

Found a bug. If you don't go to Mother's Guard elves in Twisted Glen until you finish First Root then there will be no event starting Altina quest but the elves will still be there, saying nothing when interacted with. EDIT: Also, is it intended that Discretionary Funds can go over 100% if you didn't spent all of them in previous investment round?

Alren

Yes, your funds can go way over 100%. I had 180% to work with.
