v0.53.2
Time for the update! This one should be reasonably polished, but it needs to come with a warning: the balance for the entire Gathering is not finalized. Though I did my best, it's possible that after the next update, I or someone else will realize the game would be better with a tweak to this section. If you're highly concerned with game balance, I suggest keeping a save prior to this version.

That said, this one has quite a bit of different content I hope you will enjoy. ^-^ Though I want to continue working on Once Ever After, TLS 0.54.0 will be higher priority.

v0.52.2
bugfix

v0.51.0

- Depending on your decisions, you may be able to unlock a new segment and final state for Eustrin.
- Aka's personal quest can now be completed.
- Hilstara has a complete personal quest.
- The Tower mine has reopened, granting different saves different items. Both regions have been repopulated with a few new fights.

- Two more scenes that are inaccessible without cheating. Working ahead.
- If you're still locked out of Ardoheim in Chapter 5, you can now gain access via a payment in Headquarters 1F.

- Grand art update: All scenes in Chapter 1 now have an illustrated image!
- Total added: 28 scenes, 5 joke scenes (52 images total)
Non-consistent art are the joke scenes involving the Chosen.

This update was more involved than you might think. I was only able to make everything work properly thanks to scripting assistance from Lamsey and Decanter. Future updates will be normal chunks of gameplay plus whatever new art is finished.

v0.49.3

final bugfixing and polishing.

v0.49.2

- Zirantian leaders now report on the state of their nation. This can potentially unlock the new Biyue scene.
- The Stineford succubus bar is now available if missed, and can be visited as a new map, but only going through the improved iterate event mentioned below.
- Min now appears in the Givino Vinai Court.
- Antarian now appears in Ardford Cathedral.
- Nabith now has a new conversation when first spoken to in Chapter 5 (with Yhilin Final).
- More variant dialogue has been added, notably in Ardford Business District and Orri's Restaurant.

- Assorted minor changes, fixes, and improvements.

v0.48.2

- Further bugfixes, minor dialogue additions.
- Optional battle further nerfed.
- Quest log updated to include recent events.

v0.48.0

- New section covering Eustrin and more.
- One new scene.

v0.47.1

- Bugfixing, typos, and minor improvements.
- The self-destruct attack now works, thanks to Decanter.
- The Ledger is now updated to the new version.
- Sprite animations now play when you access the bed.

v0.47.0

- Big Stineford update!
- Two new scenes, including the longest in the game by a fair margin.
- The first final party member sidequest is introduced, though it can't be finished yet.

v0.45.2

Minor touchup.

v0.45.1

- For once, I think there were no true bug fixes. Some improvements and minor graphic things, though.
- Lots of new dialogue.

v0.45.0

- End of chapter and interlude.
- Two new scenes.
- Last investment/research cycle of this chapter.

v0.44.6

This update is mostly to fix the heal bug. - Improved Tanurak image thanks to Bug Reporting and Decanter. - Fixed Erosian maps thanks to Lamsey.

v0.44.5

Additional improvements, fixes, and balance changes. - New warfront images courtesy of Lamsey. - The balance of healing spells has been changed. There's no effect at lower levels, but at higher character levels healing will start to scale slightly faster. This is especially true of single-target healing spells, which I've felt were lagging in an unintended way.

v0.42.0

Plot advances with a trip back to Stenai. - Upon return from Stenai, multiple events and a dungeon prepping for the next section. - The optional challenge dungeon in New Givini is now available. - Two new scenes. - New investment cycle. Includes a new investment on Succubus Acceptance paths that involves a new scene. - A new slate of research options is unlocked, and you have a new research project available. - Depending on your research choices, Robin may have a new scene. - Four new pieces of customized equipment can be created. - Simon now has bust images (both green and black outfits) thanks to Lamsey. - A conversation between Altina and Riala about the events in the first chapter has been added retroactively (it isn't accessible in current content). Every save should get a chunk of new plot content, plus a whole set of sundry items getting ready for the next major plot event. But the other significant piece of work in this update is the final optional dungeon for this chapter. It requires a large investment to access, but I put a lot of effort into the challenges beyond. Honestly, it may be a bit too far on the frustrating end... but that's why it's optional content.

v0.41.4

More fixes and tweaks.

v0.41.3

New Additions - Previously, nothing changed in Zirantia. Now more things are updated. - This includes an event leading to a brand new scene. - Herin and Kaskia can be found in various locations. Not essential, just flavor in response to the synod. - Depending on vote results, Tak'Kan has a sanctification team in the Wilds. - Also potentially a new location in Tak'Kan. - A foreign succubus captured during the Gathering shows up then and later in Gasm Falls.

TLS 0.40.1-5 - Wrestling with the scope of the event.

TLS 0.40.0 - New content finishing the Council of Gawnfall. - One new scene. - Misc fixes on previous sections in preparation for the Steam release.

TLS 0.39.3 - Minor changes. Only doing a release to clear up the fade bug.

TLS 0.39.2 - Numerous balance changes, on average making the vote requirements easier. - New/improved Kerannii expressions thanks to Bug Reporting. - Improved musical tracks thanks to Lamsey. - High Priestesses have been added to the waiting room for those who want to check influence scores again. There are a lot of tweaks made that you may be interested in.* While this version of the council should be a bit more forgiving and more nuanced, I still can't promise this is 100% final balance. I did my best, though. *I know this adds work for the people managing the guides and wiki. I tried to list all the changes I made to the hidden mechanics in my responses to Decanter and Fulminato, so hopefully that will make updating things easier for you. Will make a post on more updatey stuff on Sunday.

TLS 0.39.0 - New update covering the first three days of the Ivalan summit. - Initial lamia battler swapped with improved version (thanks to Decanter for finding it). - Retroactively added custom sprite/bust/face for Vera (priestess of the Goddess of Magic). This is thanks to Bug Reporting, who also did the new characters this update. Alright, I've done what I think is best for the game: split the summit into two parts. This way I can keep up release momentum as well as get feedback on some of the new things I'm trying with this update. It will be reminiscent of the Ardford Summit, but with this one I put the emphasis on social manipulation. Hopefully with some tweaking, this will be a fun addition to the game. This update isn't a trivial one, though! It introduces all the High Priestesses you hadn't met before in addition to some important characters from other religious factions. In the votes covered by this update, you'll lead the religious situation on Arclent in one of several major directions, which will have a permanent impact on the world. Because this update is a bit experimental, I have no idea what to say about when it will be released publicly. This blog is the place to check for major updates, while the progress will be focused on Patreon.

I had meant to include these earlier but they got lost in the shuffle. - More bugfixes and polishing.

TLS 0.33.4 - Party order saving bug is fixed. If you have a bugged save, cycle through both parties and it should be fixed.

TLS 0.33.3 - Further fixes and refinements. - Party order is now saved when switching between the two groups thanks to Decanter. - It isn't commonly known, but TLS can be played with a controller.

Please read the following list of controls that might not be obvious:

Shift: hold to walk instead of run, scrolls equip menu in shops Ctrl: auto-advance text (skips quickly when paired with instant text) Arrow keys: scroll large text boxes W key: switches between parties during certain segments

F1: Options, remap keys F5: enters or leaves full screen mode Alt+Enter: alternate full screen mode (F5 is advised) F6: change size of windowed display F12: immediately restarts game

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Can save files be transferred between versions? A: Yes. Simply move the save files - "Save01.rvdata2" and so on - into the game's new folder.

Q: How is experience distributed? A: Any character currently in the party, alive or dead, active or inactive, will receive the same amount.

Q: How do relationship points work? A: When your party members advise for/against an action, their points will change based on your decision. When characters reach 100, you can have a conversation with them that guarantees their loyalty and their relationship value will no longer lower.

Q: Is grinding possible? A: No. Enemies and experience are finite quantities. You can grind certain slime enemies, however, that give items and little experience.

Q: Can Sx be converted into ProN? A: No. It's meant to be spent on equipment without guilt.

Q: I'm stuck in Stineford, what do I do? A: Try progressing the merchant plotline and sleeping.

Q: Attacks with multiple hits sometimes hit fewer times, are they bugged? A: No. Multi-hit attacks select their targets at the beginning of the round, so if enemies are killed, some hits might be lost.
