July 3 Update
Added 2016-07-03 22:57:29 +0000 UTCHeadline up front: I'm getting on a good roll and I hope that version 0.19.0 of TLS will be out next weekend. Barring any huge new problems, that feels pretty possible!
The only thing marring my good mood is that I'm in the self doubt section of the creative cycle. A lot of the work in this version is under the surface, setting up the new version of Ari-Yhilina. It won't be the flashiest update, so I'll have to hope that people appreciate the continued social consequences in areas you know instead of exploring new territory.
There's a lot of dialogue in this one, though. Lots of people to meet and things to do. After the more intense previous update, I wanted this one to let you see and feel the consequences of the battle that were just reported before. I'd like to give players some time in the city so that you're connected enough for your actions to have weight, and I think what I've done pulls that off fairly well. ^-^

Scumbag Simon. Invests on city beautification, destroys city.

2016-07-08 23:13:55 +0000 UTCNah, you'll have people like me who absolutely *have* to see all the possibilities, and so will purposely play a "bad" playthrough. Goddamn completionists...

2016-07-08 22:26:32 +0000 UTCI'll do that eventually, actually I think I still have my very first playthrough with no help from the wiki backed up somewhere....

2016-07-05 18:20:54 +0000 UTCAka's relationship points? So that means I did not have as many RP's in the 2nd attack as I did in the first? Hmm, I wonder if I chose to talk to Aka first during the reunion the first time... Something to think about, thanks, Ripe.

2016-07-05 10:22:25 +0000 UTCResult of Aka's attack is based on her RP's... and there are three possible outcome to that scene.

2016-07-04 22:21:18 +0000 UTCSo Sierra, I'm guessing the research effected the outcome of the battle in more ways then one? In one run through I researched hiding my nature and was able to use Simon in the optional boss in the unforge, and Aka was able to kill that mage pilot. In the other game I got Robin closer to the mage academy, and Aka was not able to kill the pilot. Is that a result of the research?

2016-07-04 21:36:40 +0000 UTCHaha, if you made it through the battle with good numbers, the consequences aren't so dire. You guys are all such optimizers I worry not many people will see the fun consequences I've set up. ^-^

2016-07-04 19:31:57 +0000 UTCHere's what I read... "I'm on a good roll.. About to strap you down to an electric chair.. Hope you enjoy regret and anxiety because you now you get to see the results of the choices you made.. Good luck because I think I did fairly well with the voltage.." Ugh... Kill me now.. (.u___u).

2016-07-04 04:08:28 +0000 UTCGlad you're having a good week! The dialogue and interactions with other character is BY FAR my favorite part of TLS, sooooooo I don't think this next update will disappoint in the least. Can't wait to see Ari-Yhilina post takeover! *starts bouncing excitedly like a little kid* ... AHEM ... No one saw that.

2016-07-04 03:54:54 +0000 UTC*gives out manly squee* I personally love the fact that this update really focuses on the consequences of all applicable choices. Really gives the player the feeling that their decisions matter and affect gameplay. Flash is very much a lesser priority to story and plot in my opinion so I think you made the right focus. Dialogue is awesome, lots of moments between characters new and old is always welcome.

2016-07-03 23:32:02 +0000 UTCHidden consequences are one of the reasons I love TLS, should be an interesting update.

2016-07-03 23:06:38 +0000 UTCthat is great to hear an cant wait to continue on with the story. Really do hope that all goes well and looking forward to seeing how choices effect what happens in Ari-Yhillina
