Once Ever After features many of the same writing and gameplay elements as TLS, but it's a fully finished game with higher production values. Also, this time all of the scene art is 100% drawn by Crescentia, and there's a whole lot of it! Please consider taking a look. ^-^
This one was a beast to get out, more than it should have been. But chaos aside, this one has a ton of different content I hope everyone will appreciate. There's more plot than a normal open world update, new harem members, lots of new scenes, and a new quest that should be fun for everyone who likes fiddly optimizing.
You'll hear from me again about future updates, but for now I hope everyone enjoys this one! Please also wishlist Once Ever After if it's of interest to you, since it will be coming out next.
This is a big one, and I'll lay out all the changes below, but first I'd like to encourage everyone to consider wishlisting Once Ever After. We finally have a release date approved by Steam, so it's getting closer!
TLS 0.6.0 - New open world segment, with an unusual number of updates. - 9 new scenes. - Two new characters can join the harem, bringing six new affection scenes with them. - Two other characters joining the base. - An old character's affection can be uncapped via a new scene, allowing them to be maxed. - New harem quest. - Shining Swords can finally be turned in for rewards. - Various new opportunities around the world, making it possible to restore the "entity" even if items were previously missed. - Thanks to the work of DukeLeto7, Decanter, and others, several obscure bugs have been eliminated. - Annikath has made some improvements to several dozen past scenes (purely on her own time), so all of those have been updated. - Four new illustrated scenes: Elleani Titfuck, Janine 69, Riala Dreaming, Sarai Doggy
This update should be freely available in a week!
EDIT: Apologies, but I need to take another week on this one. See the blog for a little more info and some links.
Alright, after much work, everyone can play the big climactic update! Be grateful to patrons, who helped give me data to ease many of the requirements. There's a lot of content in this one, so I hope you enjoy it. ^-^
I always welcome comments here, but the new Discord server is also available if you want to chat with other players. Questions and comments for me, especially bug reports, should still go here.
I'm back with another big TLS update, finishing the last major war! After the chaos of 0.57 and the combat intensive 0.58, this one is all about the political maneuvering:
Your characters are scattered all over the world, making decisions that will have a significant impact on what kind of endgame you experience.
Of course, you'll be catching up with Simon and the major divine developments. This one includes a lot of plot payoffs that have been in the works for years.
This update is highly complex, more disorganized due to a rough development period, and will possibly include balance tweaks throughout the entire war. Therefore, I reserve the right to take more than a week before it goes public, if it needs the time to polish everything. Please look forward to it!
This was another weird development period, but I'm glad to finally present this build to you all. It includes the new challenge mentioned last post, plus a set of illustrated scenes you can find in the version history. Since this one took an extra week in Patreon testing, I hope that it's a more polished experience, but as always report bugs and other issues.
I still want to finish up this war event soon, but I am feeling fatigued. I need to take at least a little time to do other things, such as preparing the final version of Once Ever After for its release early next year. Other work has also fallen by the wayside a bit, so I hope to catch up on my life overall.
There's another sequence of major plot reveals coming up, but meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this game-play heavy challenge!
But then it actually focuses on Simon, who is all on his lonesome:
There is a ton of content for you to explore in an unusual little update:
Most likely it will go public in a week. Please look forward to it!
EDIT: I hoped that it would be in one week, but I decided that this update needs more time. Patrons have now received a significantly polished version 0.58.1, and a later version will go public next weekend.
This has been a crazy and exhausting development period, so intense that I forgot to make the announcement that the Patreon version was done. But this way, you guys get the update right away without any extra waiting. I reserve the right to make changes to balance if I notice issues or feel it would be best for the game. Overall, though, this should be a polished update filled with new events I hope you'll enjoy!
The other announcement, highlighted in the picture, is that we've finished Phase Two of the illustration process! Now we'll move on to finishing every scene in the second chapter, though we'll still do new characters and a few other scenes just for fun.
TLS 0.56.0 - New event resolving New Givini and gaining a new harem member. - The Palace Staff quest can now be completed. One new staff member added. - Iris has her harem quest if maxed (found in Helvanna). - After talking to Riala, there are three new challenge bosses throughout the world. - Purely flavor: Robin's former roommates have more events after the Third Arclentian War. Mherin can now be found in Stineford. It's possible for Infasis to die in the fighting, otherwise she's in the Academy. - If Feroholm or the Stineford Farm were rebuilt, they now have new background music. - New conversation between Esthera and Tertia potentially unlocked (variable dependent). - Five new sex scenes. - 14 new illustrated scenes: Esthera Cunnilingus, Fheliel Blindfolded, Nalili First Time, Nalili Titfuck, Nalili Double Team, Neranda Seated, Orcent x Kara, Restoring Sabitha, Sabitha's POV, Serving the Empress 1-3, Trin x Altina, Trin + Qum - 1 new SFW scene, for a chapter interlude.
I've been working on OEA for a while (and it's still a priority), but I've finished a TLS update too! This is another open world one, and I feel quite good about it. Some of everything. ^-^
There's some brand new stuff, including new political events and new dungeons:
There's some old stuff, for example being able to finish a very long-running quest:
There's a seriesĀ of challenge bosses that I put a ton of work into and I hope will inspire people to try some fun new party combinations:
And finally, Iris is getting her final harem quest:
This one should go public in a normal week, please look forward to it!
