February 16 Update (Patreon)

Though I never thought it was a realistic deadline, I've wished I could release TLS 0.49.0 this weekend. The timing of everything would have been very convenient, positioning TLS perfectly on the sides of book releases and other things. Plus, between phases I could do my taxes and other things I've been putting off. -_-

Right now, what I think would be best is to release on February 21st, then take two weeks in Patreon beta. It should be in decent shape then, but I don't think it will be quite finished. Lots of stuff is done, but I feel that it isn't enough. Two weeks would give everyone time not only to play, but to notice things I overlooked and potentially suggest new interactions/events. That would put the public release on March 6, which is workable.

To give this update more content-related material... I haven't yet mentioned that this release will involve a bunch of new maps. You'll be able to teleport to Ghenalon's capital at will, visit Tatseni for the first time, and return to Erosia in a time of peace. So expect new interactions, new stores, new Orcent conversations, and so forth.

One thing this update doesn't have much of is fights. There are only two, though both are new encounters with mechanics I think are a bit fun. One thing it does have in abundance is sex scenes. Eleven by my count, spanning a wide range of characters, types, and focuses. Should be fun overall.

Anyway, I should stop typing and get back to working. If all goes well, I'll be putting out a release next weekend!
