TLS 0.55.3 Release
New half update! If I managed not to add any major bugs in the frenzy of new stuff, I'll be making this post accessible to $1 people as well, so let me know once you've played.

Some more art, but first, a question! For TLS 0.55.3, I'm going to include a new room where sprite animations can be seen simultaneously. I could theoretically have let players input something and view any given animation, but I felt that method w...
2021-01-26 23:39:04 +0000 UTC View PostThroughout the course of TLS, I've done a lot of thinking on how I take notes. I keep a huge number of them, but I have a habit of keeping even more things in my head. In the heat of creative work, there are a lot of things that feel tedious to st...

TLS 0.55.0 is out and I'm glad people seem to be enjoying it. Since there aren't any fatal bugs and there's likely to be more polishing reports, I intend to put out a .1 version after receiving all feedback. I'll push an update to that post when t...
2021-01-17 21:43:59 +0000 UTC View PostUPDATE: Okay, I'm back with a cleaned up version, as I believe all major bug reports have come in. This version isn't significantly different; I'm releasing it mainly because I know some people are waiting on this version.
Various people hav...

Update pre-rambling: I'm fairly confident that TLS 0.55.0 will be out on Friday. It's not a question of if, more about how much content will be finished and what state it will be in. Please look forward to it. Image is one of the many scenes to be...
2021-01-10 20:39:47 +0000 UTC View PostThis has been quite a year, huh? Thanks to all of you, I weathered the year okay, but I do find myself more tired than normal despite the fact that this year went pretty well by almost all metrics. Thank you all for letting me take a break, or the...

As is tradition, I keep the holiday update quiet. People may not be spending as much time with family this year, but I hope you're all able to have rest and relaxation over this period. Please look forward to my yearly review next week, then an ag...

I'm actually taking a real break this week, I swear. Mostly. Somehow, events have conspired to make this update seem cluttered.

It was just Thanksgiving for some of you, and a holiday for many. I'll simply say that I'm immensely grateful to have all of you supporting me. ^-^
The holiday isn't much of an event for me, so I am about as productive as usual, but I've got...

I'm doing a good job of actually relaxing sometimes and knocking out a few secondary objectives, but a bad job of gearing up for something else big. Normally I might push, but I'm not going to drive myself as hard, at least right away.

Look at the chibi art I commissioned from Annikath! If Halloween existed in their world, Wynn would love the costumes and Trin would be putting razor blades into apples.

This was technically my first week of break, but it didn't really feel like it, because I've had a pretty steady stream of TLS-related emails, comments, and messages. Thanks to those of you who are understanding that I won't be addressing everythi...

Hey, everyone! This is going to be a short update, as a lot of stuff is WIP.
TLS 0.54.1 seems pretty stable, so I don't predict any problems with the public release. I should be able to relax this week, or more accurately work on other stuff...
