TLS 0.44.0 Released! (Patreon)

UPDATE 2: Version 0.44.3 is now live. This one is nonessential for most players, but for those who look under the hood, I've done my best to fix all placeholders, respond to all balance suggestions, and generally get things ready for further suggestions. Everyone else, expect an update post on Sunday.

UPDATE: Check the new links for version 0.44.2. I hope this one is a polished foundation for those who look deeper and discuss balance. If you were waiting to play or wanted to see the previously bugged decision, now is a good time. Future updates should be less bugfixing, more improvements and balance.

ORIGINAL POST

I'm proud of this update and I hope everyone enjoys it! Having said that, like any complex update, there will definitely be balance changes before the final version. You don't want to overwrite your old saves until this one is stable.

TLS 0.44.0

 - Double update finishing the war.

 - Three new scenes.

 - Tons of new/improved assets. Thanks go to Bug Reporting, Annikath, Decanter, and Lamsey.

TLS 0.44.1

 - Quick update to fix a pathing bug that stopped the game.

TLS 0.44.2

 - Massive polishing update. No major balance changes, but tons of things were smoothed or improved.

 - Some affection added for Lynine and Trin.

 - Rodak Elites: There's a new save point, and their stats/skills have been tweaked in many ways.

 - Ginasta: There's a slight tweak to her AI. Let me know if this ends up seeming weird.

Notes/questions for players:

1) There's an optional boss (you'll know when). Let me know if you think it's too easy.

2) During one section, you're given new ProN. I also considered giving a temporary resource and not allowing the use of old ProN, since I fear that might remove the need to make any decisions. Let me know if ProN feels scarce to you.

3) Overall I suspect that I didn't push the war tradeoffs hard enough and that's it's too easy to get all three fronts up to their best values. These should probably be more difficult, but I wanted feedback from more saves before I increased them.

4) Those who decrypt, please report if variables seem to be missing from areas where they should have an impact or if it would be logical to add more RP bonuses.

I actually didn't burn the midnight oil on core work this time, but that doesn't mean there aren't any bugs. There are several fights I'm pretty pleased with, as strategy is enough even with weak saves. Overall, I hope this is an update everyone finds satisfying.
