October 30 Update (Patreon)

So, you're probably all wondering about the map. I've been poking the mapper periodically and seen proof of progress, but not as much as I wanted. I had hoped to have a finished product by today, now November 1st seems more likely.

It's frustrating not to have TLS out due to this, so I've been trying to prep the other stuff as much as possible. I've finished all the events before and after. All dialogue is written, including for the unfinished map. I set up the enemies and I'll do my usual balancing of them in a special testing room if the map doesn't come soon. Sex scenes are written, edited, and added - there are ten of them, though many are affection scenes that won't be normally attainable yet.

Once the map arrives, the turnaround won't be immediate. I'll need to build the events on the new map, then do my big testing sweeps. That can't happen instantly, especially given the impending Ouroboros release on November 3rd. I want both out ASAP, but all I can promise is that I'll do my best.

Anyway, I don't want to leave you guys with just that, so have a preview of the screenshots I'll be using on forums when I post the Patreon release!



New regional map, biggest one yet by several metrics (that screenshot doesn't cover quite all of it). This section is somewhat longer than normal and there's a lot going on.



Here's an example of the language colors in use in dialogue. Not sure what people will think of it, but I feel like once you get used to the concept, it lets you switch between multiple languages in a quick, intuitive way.



And this just makes me happy.

Two extra screenshots only for backers:



What's going on is just a little sidequest, but here's a visually boring screenshot for all you plot-speculating folks:



In addition to wrapping up the elven section of the plot, this section gives you more long term questions to chew on. I'm sure you guys will enjoy the update... when I can finally get it out.

Well, give the mapmaker my sincere thanks for giving me at least one more week to live a normal, healthy, productive life before I cut off all contact with the outside world. ;)

Nice, ten sex scenes. I guess this update is longer than usual, since it's been so long and the last was short? Third screenshot - my kind of porn :) Fifth screenshot - such a rude presumptive Elven Mother. But then, it is a mother's nature to worry about her children in the embrace of shady characters.

Can't Wait

Man, I'd hate to work for you :P. I LOVE your work, but I don't think I'd be able to maintain the level of focus and quality to reach your standard. I hope you can find the people that can, because your work certainly deserves it. I'll reserve my judgment on the colors for languages until I see more of how it's applied. It doesn't seem as though Simon has an incredibly in-depth grasp on Storgan currently, so I would assume that even if he get's a crash course there are still words that he won't understand. How does that work with the two color system? It certainly holds potential and the execution will most likely be very high quality if the rest of your writing is anything to go by, but I won't be sold until I see it myself.

>I guess this update is longer than usual, since it's been so long and the last was short? To a degree. I don't want to overhype people and say this is two months of work or anything - I've spent a lot of time on business stuff and the Ouroboros expansion, plus some time was just lost (for TLS) on delays. But yes, I wanted this to be a reasonably weighty update to announce that the project is back.

Well, I like to think I'm not too demanding. I asked this person for the map over a month ago. T-T Regarding languages: if there is someone in the party who could conceivably explain, languages will be rendered in colored translation. So players will read what the party hears, even if not every character understands (see Nalili above). There are some exceptions, which may not be 100% consistent but I hope will work. Simon's knowledge of Storgan is limited, but another party member has a language-learning sidequest. I decided to represent errors in speaking more than in understanding, because I felt the latter could be too much except for occasional cases. After this update you'll have multiple fluent members, so Storgan will always be translated. I hope the transition to that point will add some interesting flavor, but we'll see.

Can't Wait

I'm not talking so much on what you actually demand, but on what the project deserves. I just don't feel like I'd be able to do it justice. It only now occurs to me that I came off a bit accusatory. Hope to see more soon :P

Yeah, no worries! Also, you made a post with a good question, but it's easy to miss patron posts now, so I'm going to link it here in case other people want to see the answer: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/7124871">https://www.patreon.com/posts/7124871</a>

Good stuff. Not to be a pedant, but for the second screenshot, if the guy is trying to define 'bounty hunter' wouldn't the greentext be only the first 2 words?

Pedantry welcome! Actually, the whole conversation is taking place in Storgan. The elf uses the Storgan word for "bounty hunter" and Aka doesn't know it, so the elf clarifies in Clentian.

I am interested in knowing if we will still have to worry what creatures we should kill in this update because in the last one we were asked not to kill the wolves and I love that thought that not every creature should be killed due to tie of elves and nature, I made the mistake the first time killing everything then talking to the elf.

I will look upon a November release of TLS like I do the leftover Halloween candy... Bonus! Keep up the great work!

About the language things the way I would interpret is (inserting german as the green language): "Kopfgeldjäger ist deutsch für Bounty Hunter.", isn't it more common for the "is language for" part to be in the language you translate into? Edit: I mean if you both know the green language well enough to have that part in the green language, why would you specify the language instead of just saying "x means y".

See my reply to A Zo earlier - I think this one will work in context.

I'mma be honest.. Well.. I usually am.. Uhhh.. Anyways.. I haven't played the game in several months. I read every update and I love the things you're doing but also get sad about the setbacks.. You can't avoid it though so I don't blame you.. I stopped playing right after the update with the results from the battle from that large fight in the Lust Lords domain.. I WAS TOO SCARED TO SEE THE RESULTS! So I took a break.. And another.. And another..... So now I am just waiting for a time when you say, "I've done it! It's complete! i hope you love it!" Until then I will stare at this file on my computer with a weak will.. Dreading the day I see the consequences of my actions.. BUT I WILL SUPPORT YOU AS LONG AS I CAN FINANCIALLY AFFORD IT. YOU ARE AMAZING. Thank you for all of your hard work and effort. :D

...I don't want to spoil anything, but I think it'll be okay if you go ahead and catch up.

You have to watch those mapmakers. They're a lazy bunch, every single one of them. In other news, I'm still working on the islands; sorry. I should have something for you soon, though, unless you release your update before I finish. That will probably delay me a few days at least.
