UPDATE: My AMA is now live, so check it out here if you're interested:

Suddenly, lots of stuff going on! I'll divide it into sections so you can find the pieces relevant to you.

TLS Progress: Looking at my work last week, if I'd said I was using that time to mentally prepare, I wouldn't blame someone for not believing it. But dang, maybe I really did need some time to work on 0.52.0 subconsciously, because this week I exploded straight into productivity. The upcoming update won't be huge, but it will be intense.

Mapping Problem... Resolved?: For parallax or complex mapping, I've been using one guy for a few years, but he may not be able to continue due to health issues. This might have been a delaying issue, but I got on it, and the replacement mapper might work well. Fingers crossed, but I anticipate the map being done by the time I need it.

Patreon Taxes: You may have already gotten a message about this, but Patreon keeps telling us to talk to patrons. Basically, certain national laws require Patreon to add taxes to some of your pledges. I jumped through the hoops to properly classify all the tiers, which if I understand the documentation correctly, should reduce everyone's taxes as much as possible.

Activism Bundle: I've been quiet regarding current politics, but there's a huge game bundle with the proceeds going to causes. Take a look at it: with 1700+ games, obviously they won't all be of interest, but there's some top indie stuff in there. Celeste and Pyre alone will probably be cheaper here than the Steam summer sale, plus there's Nuclear Throne and some interesting experiments like The Hex or Minit. This is an unusually cheap bundle, so take a look.

Reddit AMA Tomorrow: I have a solo AMA at r/fantasy, coinciding with a sale on TBS. Most of these threads are only semi-successful, but it's still a rare opportunity to get a lot of potential eyeballs on my work. You can feel free to ask your own questions or vote, if you're so inclined. I may send an update when it goes live.

Anyway, that's all for now. The next TLS update is getting closer!

So all the ideas just came gushing forth from your mind? Good to know. On a side note there's something I've been curious about for a long time. For the beginning of chapter 3 why did lady entila, stage a coup attempt in the middle of the doom kings invasion? Even a complete idiot should've known that it is the absolute worst time to do that with an invading army attacking. So what was that woman thinking? She didn't think there was a real invasion?

Yay productivity! I am ready to kick some Givini nobles in the family jewels they're so focused on putting to use. Or, alternatively, watching Elleani and Luanell get fed up with them and doing it themselves. On the other hand, I also can't wait to find out what's got the cult sequestered away, because that means more Mithyn, which means we're closer to Yarra's dream of goddess fucking!

Power hungry nobles are known for pulling stupid shit. Especially if they're locked in a "I could do this way better" mindset. Plus Janine was being purposefully more obstinate to get the corrupt nobles to play their hands.

In my case luanell is with Farnan so I think she's safe from givini nobles but yes I have been wondering when we are going to see vera and the rest of mithyn's cult again. We've got a lot to talk about with them.

Holy shiza that is a comically large bundle. Most of it looks pretty meh but sorting through the meh stuff to find the good stuff is half the fun of playing indie games anyway. Thank you for pointing it out, I would have missed it otherwise.

Glad it was useful to you! Yeah, there's a huge mix of stuff in there (the surprise for me was the number of tabletop gaming resources). But there are enough big titles to make it a good value and tons of unknowns. I don't know when I'll have time to look through them, but maybe someday I'll find some gems!

There were a few things I wanted to ask with regard to the world of TLS. Would there be room for it in your AMA?

sierralee

Normally I'd appreciate it, but best not to ask about NSFW projects in a SFW context. Feel free to ask here, though!

JJS

You said in the post that the next TLS update won't be big, but intense. Are there going to be important plot points that will be addressed?

WaxerRed

I'm gonna go ahead and assume yes. But I doubt fishing SL for more will work :)
