I wasn't sure how to tackle a scene as weird as Lilith's repeatable chaos, so we decided to just go overboard. This is excessive, but now Lilith is done and we proceed with the plan as before.
I have to say, this all makes me inordinately happy. ^-^ There has been enormous amounts of porn drawn for the common fetishes, ...

This set was done a while ago and either I forgot to post it, or I forgot that I posted it. Release brain no work. =/
First we have Restoring Riala, where I gave Annikath the difficult task of illustrating a subtle emotional shift that's easier to describe than draw - I decided to change Simon from Translucent ...

Three things today! First, one more comic from Argo - it's funny to imagine what the player's actions would look like, if you assume they're literal 1:1 events in the world. ^-^
Second, I have another book out! Since the comic already took the main slot, I'll put the cover here:

Another meme, this one from the Discord, I believe. There aren't many left, but this has been quite a run of fan content!
One thing I've had to work on as a creator is dealing with slower times. It isn't productive to bang your head against a wall, but it is possible to be lazy and not re-engage when you could....

Instead of a meme this week, we have a new piece of fanart! This just showed up on Steam one day and I didn't notice until now. ^-^
I get a fairly steady stream of requests for TLS, so with less forward progress the previous weeks, I've been trying to get on top of those. Let me talk about a paired set of the requests a...

First up, we have another meme. This one actually had a ton of variants, of which I posted only three. The rest have all gone into the art folder, for when I eventually update the art package.
I could call this week "distracted" but I'm not sure if that's actually the appropriate term. There are some weeks where my core...

Early post because I want to burrow into work. Starting with continued memes, this time a little comic. ^-^

I still have a series of memes and comics, but we're interrupted by more TLS fanart! This is another high priestess fantasy from genericname12345, hope everyone enjoys. ^-^
So, as you may have noticed, during April/May/June I managed to release TLS updates every month, just like old times. That "may" isn't purely rhetor...
2023-07-02 16:57:37 +0000 UTC View PostI'm making this one available to all patrons! In part because this is an older build that had an extended release window due to my vacation, but also out of gratitude for every single patron who helps give me my career. ^-^

2023-06-18 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a cleanup build so everyone has a decent base to play from while I'm gone. I'm leaving up the previous post's links just in case there are any surprise problems added in this one.
The newest TLS update is out. The good news is that things seem to be stable and I'm on top of all reports. The not so good news is that this is only because this update received very few reactions. Is there something going on this weekend I'm too disconnected to realize? I try to release content when it won't interfere with ...

Surprise, it's release time! Or maybe not a surprise, I did tell everyone that the next update would be coming sooner. In any case, this should be enough text that the links aren't publicly visible.
This set is both small and large: fewer scenes, but more images, including the new record for most variants on a single scene. It wasn't planned, but we get first times from two characters (Ginasta and Robin) and a "last time" for Hilstara (her final affection scene).
In other news: aaaah there's too much going on. Usua...

Quite a few new patrons these days (though I also recognize some old names ^-^). I have so-so metrics on traffic, but Patreon's internal data has never been great. Any patrons who have joined recently, want to tell me where you're from and how you found TLS?
Anyway, we have more fanart! You can see it above, but also pl...
2023-05-21 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNew version after a week of polishing. Perhaps the final iteration of this build? Hopefully close, but I wouldn't count on it. This one also includes minor trivial features, such as the art that was supposed to be in the last build.
TLS 0.67.0 is out and I'm glad people seem generally happy with the succession crisis resolution. I will probably need to make the math underneath more complicated, which will necessitate more balancing. The irony is that the difference won't be vi...
2023-05-14 16:59:37 +0000 UTC View PostTime for some long-awaited content! I hope everyone will enjoy this update and the culmination of this long-running storyline. Let me know if you guys would like to see the updated roadmap here, otherwise I'll just put them on the blog and Steam.
First, some fanart that Annikath posted! I don't believe I've shown this one before. Her Patreon and Twitter have a lot of "alternate universe" scenarios featuring TLS characters that you might enjoy.
TLS 0.67.0 will feature the conclusion of the s...

I had a themed development post written up, then this week went really well and I decided that I shouldn't distract myself. But then I ended up with a lot of things to report this week:
Another big set, four scenes and five base images with many variations! I'm happy we finally got to Hilstara/Lynine, which is one of my favorites, and I also think that Megail + Orilise turned out well. We don't usually have two base images for one scene, but I really like the second one so I'm glad I made an exception.
Maybe all the secondary work is past! Full focus forward! Hopefully. I think I may have finally gotten all the rebranding things done, but let me know if you see old artwork anywhere except the following:
- The trailers on Steam. (will change eventually)
- Random forum posts. (don't care)
- Steam assets for ...
2023-04-22 16:59:12 +0000 UTC View PostThough there will no doubt be further improvements to this section, I sincerely hope this will be the stable build for the next while. No need for any hotfixes like last time, just pushing forward to the next content update. That said, do report if you run into any issues and, as always, I'll try to stay on top of things.
