July 8 Update

Looking at the content for the next TLS update, I'm glad people were open to the idea of 0.36.0 being a smaller update. It still won't be a weighty release, but there's a lot of scattered content of many types that I don't want to cram into the Stenai update, which will be big enough as it is.

The art you see above is fanart I received on my Steam page! It was drawn by Chobittsu, and though he doesn't do NSFW, I'll link his DeviantArt as thanks for the fun pic.

Speaking of Steam, the sequel to Crimson Gray has a page approved now:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/894460/Crimson_Gray_Dusk_and_Dawn/

Most patrons probably qualify for a free copy, but if you don't or plan to get it on Steam, please add it to your wishlist. The hope is that the game can swim instead of sinking when launched, and hopefully getting the page up early will help with that. The first VN also passed 100 reviews, which doesn't benefit me directly but is nice. Hopefully my other games can pass the 50 review cutoff too, but they're moving slower.

Right now I'm in one of those situations where most things are doing well, but one thing isn't, and so of course you can only focus on that one thing. =/ I am trying to keep my nose to the grindstone, be productive, and hope things will turn out okay.

Not sure about the 0.36.0 release due to unknown variables, but expect concrete information about a release date instead of a long development period.

I get that reaction, but my intention was that they're both returning to their side of the river after doing other work. It's a meeting as they pass, they didn't just come to argue with each other.

Hey Sierra, in their initial confrontation aren't Orilise and Lynine on the wrong side of the bridge? <a href="https://imgur.com/a/VZXr1s9" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/a/VZXr1s9</a>

You integrate them, slowly at first, I think then faster as you get used to it. The best way I can describe it real world is a lucid dream of the days events that did not happen but where close to what happened. We disregard the dream, but Simon integrates them. We know he has a disciplined mind already. I view his duplicates as spending more time with each girl individually, he cares about his women. Also, do you remember Alonon's comment about all the women around him that got corrupted and had to be saved by sex? There is something else in the plot/story that we are getting close to, but do not fully understand yet.

So… As you know I am a big fan, but there was something that happened in the story that got me thinking. I will try to explain all my reasoning though, so please bear with me. You see, I plead equality for people in society, so my opinion on harem is not a good one. That being said, all member on Simon’s Harem are willing partners, so there is not “a problem” with that, everyone is free to choose. Well, as I was playing Ch: 4, there was a dialogue with Aka that she is bringing her concerns to him about time spend together, because really, it’s a valid point in a Harem. Not that it’s Simon’s fault, but no relationship is perfect and in this case this is a problem that you will have. Simon then says that he is trying to find a way to duplicate himself, so he can be in two places at the same time and I can’t help but feel… huh… creeped out by it? Perhaps, taken a little back? I mean, I find it hard to believe that of ALL the woman in the Harem, no one wants(not even the succubus) to sleep with another man. They may like Simon as much as they want, but he has freedoms that they clearly not have… isn’t that an issue? Aren’t we perhaps projecting our own insecurities on the plot, so Simon doesn’t have to feel “slighted” (or the players, by extension)? Anyway, the harem thing will clearly have problems of time distribution, which could be dealt with meeting new people, there must be other interesting man out there right? But nah… Simon will have more doubles so he can have his “Incubus gaze” and a “a firm grasp” on his Harem needs all the time (And I will not even start on how his perception of time, like living the same day twice on different aspects… Also, how does his mind process it? Ugh…). I am sorry if it feels like I am thrashing the plot or the interactions, I love the game, I guess I wanted to talk about how I felt and hear your thoughts if you want to share them. PS: I am starting to think that Simon is mind controlling the Harem without their knowledge in a way that people without shards can’t perceive. PS2: I still didn’t play the last update so I don’t know if it addresses one of my issues. COMMENT DELETED: I am satisfied by your reply, but can’t help but feel the same way I felt last time. I don’t know if you remember, but there was a time I posted in a forum (I don’t remember which) on how I didn’t like how Riven became the town’s whore in Noxians Nights ending because I saved them all, you know? Where is my respect? (Nothing against prostitutes, it’s just that I didn’t feel like becoming one when I could thrash the entire village if I wanted to. Couldn’t I become a guard?) You don’t need to address that again, I just remembered you saying that from a business perspective was good, people liked it, was well received and you were professional enough to write all that independent of your thoughts about it. (Can’t help but feel a jab, since I write what I want and my game does not go that well. : P) Anyway, I remember the scene at the gathering. I thought “They are really going to do it?”… I felt “something” at that time. As I kept playing the game, I didn’t really mind… but I will not say I didn’t “care” when it happened. As time progressed and I think I grew as a person, I noticed that it was not about me, that it didn’t meant anything, that it was really immature of me to try to control people like that and be upset about it… (I can enjoy NTR just fine now, since I don’t care about the protagonist that much anymore. : P) “I'm not sure I was wrong to set things up this way (from a business perspective).” When I read this sort of thing, I can’t help but clench my fist very strongly, holding my red flag with a sickle and a hammer drawing. But seriously now, I don’t think you were wrong, there is no story that will please everybody. Well, thanks for taking your time for answering it, I just wish that at some point in your life you get freedom enough to write about what you want, 100%, without outside influences and that I am there to read it. : P PS: If you already did, please point me to it. : P

Well the obvious answer here is to upgrade to 0.35.7...

Decanter

Works for me. But bug reports for the wiki should really go on their forum.

I got a problem with TLS. I'm up to the 0.035.2 update and when I'm with Uyae, Varia and Riala in the tower area, for some reason, there's an invisible wall that stops me from going anywhere. Here, I'll post images to show you where. <a href="https://i.imgur.com/szYOwPw.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/szYOwPw.png</a>

The Wiki page for TLS works just fine. But the tab for the Walkthrough doesn't appear to.

"lock up girls" eh? I don't think that's what the prison is for. Well, maybe for Varia or Trin.

Decanter

Ahh... I really wanted to go to Stenai but I also can't wait to see what the fallout from Fucklord's attack will be. Hopefully, we'll get to go and see what happened all over Arclent. Not to mention that I want to lock up girls I managed to max during the crisis... So maybe it's better to deal with that in separate update so situation in Stenai doesn't take away from it.

Hello! Welcome to Patreon, I'm very glad for your support! ^-^ Updates with names like "[Date] Update" are just my weekly progress reports. I talk about what's been done on the next update and provide other things of interest like the the links/picture in this one. When the newest version of TLS is released, it will be called "TLS 0.36.0 Released" - you should get the same notifications you got for this one. Afraid I don't know what might be the case with the TLS Wiki, as I don't manage it. But I don't think they take down pages when the game is released, so it's probably something else. For free copies of games, it's just low tech messaging. Your pledge gets you a copy of Ouroboros, so just send me a message asking for it! Likewise, next month you can just ask for whatever you want next.

I just signed up for my first ever patreon account because, at the risk of gushing, you've provided some of the highest quality rpgmaker experiences I have yet to encounter, erotic or otherwise. I am a little confused though. Was there an actual update to TLS today? And is that why the walkthrough page on the Wiki is down today? Also how does one go about prioritizing future wishlists? For instance, I signed up for the updates to TLS but also to gain access to the Oroburos full download.

No comment on specifics, but reactions to events were definitely one of things I wanted to let breathe instead of being stuck in a larger update. ^-^

Sierra Lee

Looking forward to the fallout regarding Robin getting outed. Especially if Yarra finds out Riala knew or if Yarra finds out Robin wanted Simon before the shard was implanted. And Nalili reactions will definitely be good shit.
