January 10 Update (Patreon)

Update pre-rambling: I'm fairly confident that TLS 0.55.0 will be out on Friday. It's not a question of if, more about how much content will be finished and what state it will be in. Please look forward to it. Image is one of the many scenes to be included, just as a taste.

Rambling: Working while mildly depressed is always odd. I'm still functional/productive, but I'm not fully confident in my judgment. I'm glad I wrote all those sex scenes earlier - I'm pretty sure they're good. But are some of these new dialogues decent or dreck? Are these investments a balanced spread or should I be putting way more time in? Should I be spending more time updating misc NPCs? Hard to say.

I'm never sure about mentioning this sort of thing, either, because it can get misinterpreted. I could just as easily have written a purely happy update, and I'm not angling for sympathy. I'm really looking forward to releasing this update and getting people's responses to some of the events within.

For example, I've been wanting to announce for a long time that TLS is about to introduce something new that I've been waiting on since the beginning of the game. I don't want to give it away, but it's a new event in Rodak. If you've played JRPGs that have major side games like Blitzball... well, you're about to see the TLS twist on that.

See you all with an update next weekend, hopefully.
