July 21 Update
Added 2019-07-21 22:26:59 +0000 UTCThe big release has gone well. It seems I didn't make it clear enough to some, so to state it again: this release is larger than average and will take two weeks in beta before the public release. It seems to be going smoothly so far, though.
Meanwhile, please look at the image of Qum - hopefully you can all tell exactly which early scene it is. We've been working slowly and trying to get many aspects right, but hopefully in the near future Annikath can begin devoting a more significant chunk of time to drawing scenes. Please look forward to them!
TLS 0.44.x will go public next weekend and then I intend to finish work on the final update of this chapter. I will lose a bit of time on something personal, but I hope it won't be long (though I do have to add dialogue all over the world again). As always, I will keep you updated!

REALLY LOVE the artwork and keep up the awesome work your doing!

2019-07-23 06:45:04 +0000 UTCYeah, I liked the hand touch. ^-^ Some areas may be inaccessible (the real open world bit will be at the beginning of the last chapter) but I definitely have a ton of dialogue to update.

2019-07-22 19:58:36 +0000 UTCYou get the RP immediately. The Acceptance and Army bonus only happen when new DF becomes available, which, in the case of the last DF round, will never happen.

2019-07-22 18:41:13 +0000 UTCSorry, this would be a question for the wiki community, but I can't register there for some reason so I have to ask here: In Chapter 3, if I fund succubus immigration petition in the last funding round (returning from Eustrin), will its Acceptance and Army Size boni still factor in for 3rd Arclent War? Because they're meant to only take effect 'next round', and I'm unsure if that will be at the start of, or only after 3AW... And to be at least a little bit on-topic here: Art looks great, as others already said, Annikath shows some serious improvement from early drafts!

2019-07-22 18:24:27 +0000 UTCArt looks pretty darn good! I love the sweet little hand hold Qum is attempting with Simon. Shoot, you're updating the world dialogue again? Man will the Steinford brew guy be alright? And I hope I did well enough in the war that the lumberjack guy wasn't adversely affected like he was after Gawnfall.

2019-07-22 14:39:27 +0000 UTCTbh i am willing to defend the difficulty of the Temple Fight, because it is a boss that consists of several enemies that have already been fought before. I think the player should know which targets to prioritize, who to ignore and what buffs to apply

2019-07-22 10:18:38 +0000 UTCThe erosian is the temple are too hard damn they keep healing full health and their attack are mostly AOE and their practically immune to my attack. Sorry commented on a wrong post well I did beat it but damn. Just want to point it out.

2019-07-22 07:33:46 +0000 UTCI think you were as "picky" as you could be. Getting an artist who wants to take on a game like this could end up being a tremendous plus for both of you. And for us fans :)

2019-07-22 02:23:46 +0000 UTCI'm glad to hear that, and I'm sure Annikath will be glad to hear as well. ^-^ I may not be the best judge when it comes to art but I can promise that I will be very focused on getting all of the expressions right.

2019-07-22 01:53:17 +0000 UTCGood to hear and thanks for the input! This is one of the first sections of the game where I think item usage is more likely. You're correct about the scene. Some descriptions may get slight tweaks if that makes for a better scene visually.

2019-07-22 01:52:11 +0000 UTCWhat's exciting to me about this picture is that it looks better than some of the ones we saw when Sierra was asking us if she should work with Annikath for art with the game. I felt (and said) at the time that if there is an artist who is passionate about the project and wants to do it, it's a no-brainer. Because they will get better. I've seen it in other games. I just love the expression on Qum's face - I think Annikath nailed it.

2019-07-22 00:43:41 +0000 UTCIs good that all is going well, having played the update now a few times and found no new bugs to report. I look forward to seeing how this chapter will end. One thing that I believe will be a good to mention will be the fact that rest wont happen while the war is in effect, before the war starts. One thing I found while in my games was the fact that I ran out of items to bring mana back up as in some games, I hardly carried any. Looking at the scene, I would say this is the first time that with Qum, though as I recall, Simon didn't remove his clothing during that time and rather just fucked Qum.
