TLS 0.73.1 Release (Patreon)

Update time! This is not actually everything, but it has been a week, so I figure players deserve a build that's cleaned up (plus there's additional bonus stuff). More info after the update log.

TLS 0.73.1

- Additional conversations have been added to Vhala's quest.

- Vhala's quest now grants additional influence for saves with lower ProN returns, as a mercy mechanic.

- Vhala's quest now grants more RP and other variables.

- Balia's quest now causes the training orcs in the base to upgrade, with four new training fights.

- Solely in the Divergent Church scenario, Bertricia has a Shining Sword to give the player.

- Solely in the New Religion scenario, Yelarel will give a Shining Sword during Sarai's quest.

- Upgraded keyboard/controller scripts thanks to Rachnera. The intro text and text describing key presses have been changed to account for this.

- Updated Elleani/Yarra scene thanks to Annikath.

- Additional bugfixing and polishing.

I think the above stuff is pretty self-explanatory. What isn't is the remaining work necessary for the public release: the most important part is fine-tuning Vhala's quest. People have reported various bugs, but there's been no discussion of the underlying mechanics and I haven't seen any optimization talk or reported numbers. I hope to get all of this in order before the public release.

In fact, the number of people saying they've been waiting multiple updates to play this release is a bit intimidating, so I'd really like to get everything polished up first. One element of that is the keyboard and controller script, which Rachnera has steadily continued to work on. If you're interested in this, please use it while playing and report anything amiss!

The number of things on my list is steadily decreasing. One that remains is maybe working on the portrait system in the base again; people have requested alternates for Robin, Zelica, and Sabitha. If you have other requests (generics, not new custom portraits) please mention them now so we don't have to fiddle with this too much.
