TLS 0.41.0 Released (Patreon)

UPDATE (Feb 6): Version 0.41.3 is up, see links and change notes. Also, because the Lunar New Year sale on Steam is getting so much attention, I'm thinking of delaying the Steam release a bit. Not the normal public release, though.

New version time! I hope this one doesn't have much in the way of bugs (and the consequences of the bugs wouldn't be severe), but it's very likely to have content added in version 0.41.1 and beyond.

 - Retroactive: Lady Entila now has a faceset and her conversation has been modified to use multiple expressions.

So... this one is the synod overhaul plus the update to the entire world plus some of the content I was originally planning to put in 0.42.0. Basically, this was everything I think is good to do before the Steam release. I'm more concerned about polish than usual, so it might take two weeks for this one to come out.

Speaking of polish, this update needs more. I made so many updates to various places... but I'm sure I've neglected others. Though not every area of the world will transform (I focused on religious locations), let me know if any lines feel out of date or could change.

Likewise, I am completely open to suggestions for more events. Since this is one of the times the plot will push the player to go look around the entire world, I wanted to include some rewards for that.

So yes, the plan is to go over the synod changes again, add/polish content, then do a public release in two weeks. Hopefully the Steam release at the same time, but Valve is being a pain. I will also be releasing some of the content I've held back, once I feel TLS is in good shape.

But all of that aside, I hope you enjoy the new content!
