I hope everyone enjoys this return to Eustrin! I think the one thing I want to mention is that in the middle of this update, there's an optional fight that's proved fairly challenging. Please feel free to leave it for later if you're not enjoying it.
As mentioned in the game, the next update will be the first open world segment in Chapter 5, and it will be a lot of work. It's my next priority, however, and should come out before I spend time on any of my other projects.
I don't have much to add this time. This update has some of everything, the longest sex scene in the game, and a lot of fun payoff in Stineford. Hope you enjoy!

TLS 0.47.0 - Big Stineford update! - Two new scenes, including the longest in the game by a fair margin. - The first final party member sidequest is introduced, though it can't be finished yet.
Update Intro I just put out a big TLS update for patrons! This one takes the party back to Stineford, where much of the game began, but now the player is dealing with much bigger issues:
Not everything is as you remember, however. You've already seen Stineford change over time, and that will increase in the last chapter:
Look forward to going back to old locations and exploring them in a great level of depth, however:
Expect more on the party's core concerns as well:
This update also contains the longest sex scene in the game... several times longer than the previous record. It's as long as a short story, long enough that it might be a bad idea. =P Anyway, this update is bigger than average but can probably still go public in a week.
This is a nice little update to kick off the chapter, I think. Hope everyone enjoys it! I have some side projects coming down the pipeline, but I'm also eager to get into the next update, which you'll see set up at the end of this update.

TLS 0.46.0 - New section beginning the last chapter. - Seven new skills. - Investment list/ledger reorganized by region.
Update Intro As mentioned, I'm not taking a break between chapters this time, so I've just sent out 0.46.0 to patrons! I was really preoccupied with creating this update and didn't take screenshots, so there's just one this time:
This update kicks off the last chapter with some long-awaited skill updates, a dungeon, and some plot. This is a stopping point on the way to some bigger updates, so I figured I'd keep rolling with the momentum. Public update in a week!
This is a smaller update, but it includes some key elements rounding out the chapter and gives you one last chance to invest and explore the world before the final chapter begins. Hope you enjoy!

TLS 0.45.0 - End of chapter and interlude. - Two new scenes. - Last investment/research cycle of this chapter.
Update Intro Patrons just got the next update, which concludes the chapter! More info on the blog as usual, but some previews right here. This update wraps up some issues from the previous section:
But as it concludes the chapter, it also has a number of new plot scenes and a new interlude...
Plus another chance to explore the world, invest, and choose research. Public update in a week!

TLS 0.44.0 Notes:
Double update finishing the war.
Three new scenes.
Tons of new/improved assets. Thanks go to Bug Reporting, Annikath, Decanter, and Lamsey.
Update Intro The update is out for patrons, and it's a huge one! Rather than divide the end of the war into two more updates, I decided to go with a double update that resolves almost everything.
All those new threads and surprises last update? Your party will be splitting up to handle them, including some new locations... and some familiar ones:
You'll also get to participate in the Ghenalese front of the war:
And of course it wouldn't be a TLS update without some lore, including some that you may not be expecting:
It's no fun to screenshot strategic decisions, but expect to make a lot of them as the war concludes.
There were also be some more surprises. I couldn't screenshot a lot of things because I didn't want to throw around spoilers. ^-^
Though this update doesn't completely wrap up the chapter, it will resolve all the major threads involved in the war.
Due to the size and complexity of this update, it will definitely spend two weeks in beta testing. It will be followed by a shorter update for investments, some final resolutions, and the end of chapter interlude. More about that later!
