L: Hello everyone~

We want to give you an update on where we're at. Whatever the situation, we don't want to leave you in the dark, so let's talk about the important stuff that's going on with the third act right now.

  • We continue to work on the character's emotions descriptors.These will likely be completed by the end of the month.

  • The dialogs have been partly rewritten.Some of these have been entirely rewritten.

  • Once we have completed the descriptors, we will send the updated script for translation.Unfortunately, the translation deadline is pushing back the beta testing date for our English speaking players. We will try to make the process as fast as possible by contacting several translators at the same time. Once just before the release of the previous acts, we discovered that some parts of the script and quest logs are still untranslated, and the agency did an emergency translation in less than a week for us.

  • We cannot say anything about the Italian and Korean translations - it all depends on the capabilities and enthusiasm of the people who were involved in these translations in the first place (:

  • There is still some work to be done on dialogs, quest logs and other small things.

Let's be honest, it's tough to keep working nowadays. Sometimes we even think about giving up, because we doubt someone needs games in such a dark time when we’re all much more preoccupied with more serious matters - like, how to live, how to earn money and to survive. But your unwavering interest in our project and our obligations to you keep us afloat, so we want to finish the game as best we can. We are forever grateful for your comprehension and patience. Perhaps we all help each other to move in a certain direction, and not to lose hope for the better, to unload thoughts in order to gain strength to continue doing what we’re doing.

The colorful, fantastic world and wonderful characters that you have created provide people with a place to find refuge in, no matter how dark the times may be. And I am sure it gives hope and joy to many. I hope that you will be able to tell that story which you have crafted and I and many others will continue to support you to help bring that story to life. :) Thank you so much for all the work and love you continue to pour into it!

To some people there are games that are more than just that, and sometimes it is dark times that make you feel really connected to characters, stories or fictional worlds. Let it be clear that TCoL isn't just a "simple game" but rather a peephole to the wondrous world of Shang-la, and if you ever feel discouraged, always remember that this story might have changed someone's life for the better, regardless of them being a patron or not. As long as you keep interest in this project, there will be people that supportt it, and even after its finished you will still have your art and skills to keep going on. Be safe and always keep moving forward. ❤️

It's already been said better, but there's more to life than just worrying about the Big Things happening (although we shouldn't ignore them!). Art makes life worth living, after all. <3 And it's a connection, too! Seeing the work you share, enjoying it, in spite of everything else. I feel that matters. And every update, with or without content, is a little reminder that you're alive and doing at least okay. :)

Thank you guys for always being so open about your process and frequently giving us updates. It’s greatly appreciated! I can totally empathize with the feeling of wanting to give up with such hardship shrouding the world. But TCOL, Shang la and your works in general are VERY special and I’ll always cherish them. As someone who loves creative writing, characters, fantasy worlds, and something as niche as anthros; Your work really pushed all the right buttons for me. Not to mention all of the valuable life lessons regarding relationships and coping with struggle I’ve learned from TCOL. You two are artistic visionaries, creative powerhouses and extremely talented illustrators and I truly believe you guys were born to create art and spread your vision to the world. Your works have impacted me in positive ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I’m sure it will do the same for countless other people who will stumble upon your work and become so invested like I did! I still look forward to Roui’s story every day. But I also think mental and physical health is the important thing of all, so I’ll always remain patient ❤️

We need cheerful games like yours especially now! The vision of such a perfect world always gives me comfort!(okay its not completely perfect, that poor guys wet wipes were stolen) And do not forget, when the outlook of the future is the darkest is when things usually start getting better! It might sound exaggerated but I don't know what I would do without your work, you inspired me to start drawing, I'm not very talented, but I enjoy it very much! Thank you, and please do not give up!

I've said it before, but your guys' work is a huge inspiration for me, and has helped me through some dark times too. And it seems there are plenty of others who gladly share the same sentiment. Sometimes, it might seem like writing stories, creating art, or making a game is worthless in the face of everything. But for many, it can be a way to help cope with the difficulties of life and the Bullshit that is happening right now. To be able help people in that way is really fukin' awesome <3

I have always enjoyed and loved your wonderful world you both have made ever since I first got introduced to it when I first played your game. From the beautiful world, incredibly deep and emotion filled characters, and to the mysterious and intriguing lore. I can understand how the world can be hard and can make you feel like giving up. It might even make you feel like no one needs games in general. I would say otherwise due to how how much this game has inspired me and has help me even in rough times. To be able to get away from real world problems and explore a wonderful world through this game is something special. But of course personal life comes first of all! Take as long as you need. I know I have said it before but thank you again for making such a wonderful world and I hope you don't give up!
