Hey guys! Nomo has been busy designing our new character - Kira - and we're very excited to reveal her.
At the forefront of Sabia's current goals is Kira. Update 0.7 saw Sabia learning that Kira might have some information about Groknak's disappearance, and she's going to need to infiltrate the bandit group in order to get closer to her. A Vegardan Elf - like Neve, she's currently acting as one of the bandit captains. Also like Neve, Kira has fled from her homeland for similar reasons. A skilled warrior, and a more sadistic personality than Sabia has encountered before, she's not going to be someone easy to get information from. Sabia is also going to learn more about Vegardan culture and get a look into Neve's past.
The tension in the camp amongst the three captains is increasing. An allied Sabia is going to find herself more and more involved with her particular captain's machinations, while a solo Sabia is going to need to navigate through everything for her own gain. This means more captain content, for .8 and going forward.
And while all this is happening, Sabia can't forget the tents. She knows how valuable an establishment like that can be - one of the rare lessons from her mother she paid attention to. All the discord and tension in the camp is a perfect breeding ground for Ornshakar to take advantage of, and try to wrest the tents away from Sabia.
Expect this and more in 0.8!
Also because of patreon rules, we can't show you the nude/no clothes version of the above image, so to see it you need to check our discord server which is available to all patrons.

I guess Im to stupid for this game. I took your save now. Went to maply and got a new "conversation" I didnt had before just some "..." more than I got before. But when I now go to Vehlis there isnt the option "I need to talk to Vehlis" like the walkthourgh says I need to continue. I also dont understand why in this save are many conversations not done yet but you could get the conversation with maply and I dont. But still with this save I cant talk to vehlis as I should do ^^

Before you can speak to Vehlis you need to talk to the captain you're allied with, or to Jadk if you're on a Sabia route (which my save is). Talk to Jadk and ask "do you know what's going on?" and you should be able to speak to Vehlis and continue.

Silicones are popular in the fantasy setting. Maybe its because the author himself usually doesn't masturbate to his own work and doesn't understand whats sexy and what isn't so he goes by hearsay.
I don't really understand dressing like a whore in public is so common as you immediately adjust to it and go "seeing lots of skin = normal and not arousing" or that sex is cheap and meaningless in general.

One of the rules of writing erotica is to always stick to what you personally find hot. If you try to write a kink you don't have, the quality of your work won't be nearly as good. I assume this applies to art as well and Nomo understands this.
Honestly I think her titties are too small, but my objection is that armor she's wearing. That has to hurt like *hell* to wear, and it's laughably ineffective as protection. She's also too... Okay so when I first heard of Kira I imagined this hardass bandit queen, but the design we got instead is something that seems designed primarily not to intimidate straight boys.
Just let us have proper hard butch dykes, fantasy genre. Give her some actual muscles, a nice scar, and for Christ's sake skip the eyeshadow.

Lets be fair, none of the "armor" or other outfits for the female characters in this is useful as actual protection. They all fall very squarely into the fantasy porn / softcore armor category.
As for the character depiction not matching the description for Kira, yeah I agree that they seem off.

The only outfits in the game (aside from Kira's) that are even pretending to be armor are the Leather Armor/Heavy Leather Armor and the Orc Slave Armor. The Orc Slave Armor is basically explicitly stated to be a silly skimpy fantasy armor on purpose, and the Heavy/Leather armor is explicitly cobbled-together from scraps. Neve is sorta-kinda wearing armor, but not really? It's mostly cloth except for those pointless bracers. The value of the metal bits are the magic thingamabobs that give her her powers, and not to deflect blows.
A subtle point that often gets lost in the discourse is that it's not the sexiness of the lady characters that's the problem, it's the context in which that sexiness is used. (I mean, there are SWERFs who really do just want no sexy ladies to be seen anywhere ever, but fuck those people.) You can make outfits as skimpy as you want when the point of the outfit, in universe, is to be sexually appealing, or to be a state of undress.
It's not *great*, but it's much better than the female outfit design for most fantasy RPGs that aren't porn games, which is immensely depressing when you think about it. Kira's outfit bucks this trend and is just "lol let's give her a metal corset and panties."
I'm ranting about this more than it deserves, and ironically this just proves the point I keep making about patreon and trying to please your fans. If you gave Kira a design that I'd like, one with big muscles, short hair, a gnarly set of scars, and a tin can set of full plate, not only would it be a design that Nomo probably wouldn't enjoy drawing but it'd probably also piss off the people who just want to slap her in irons and pimp her out in the relief tents.

Mmm, if she looked like that I'd want to slap her in irons and pimp her out in the relief tents even more than I do now.

I kind of respected your point of view until the eyeshadow shaming.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
Now, to play the devil's advocate, the last update did present her in the words of the brigands as some really hot chick. So it stands to reason that she indeed dresses seductively. Maybe she enjoys arousing her men and then punishing them for having gotten aroused.
But of course the real reason is the one you already stated. People want sexyness and don't care for proper worldbuilding. Which is probably why Sierra departed from the project.

I fully agree with Viressa on this point. A hardass bandit leader who cares not a whit if someone lives or dies and terrifies the shit out of people should look like she can actually deliver a spear thrust with some power behind it. Hell, armor can be done to enhance the appearance of its wearer but still actually offer protection. As it is, this definitely just seems like pandering to the desire for various fetish bases to stick in the tents or whatnot, and not actually create interesting story and characters alongside.
As far as eyeliner, that's honestly one of the lesser problems in my opinion - warriors dressing themselves up like that absolutely happened. One could also take it further and make it into full on war paint, perhaps in the shape of magical runes that confer greater strength and endurance.

Some warrior classes made a *point* of going into battle well groomed if at all possible - a sort of "leave a good looking corpse/enter the afterlife looking your finest" type of idea. And then you had the plain old individual weirdos and eccentrics with God-knows-what quirky affectations...

There is no point arguing about this now. Kinda obvious that they would change the game focus to a more "sexual corruption" rather than "sex with story" now that Sierra left.
Does anyone know why sierra left? can't find any info on it anywhere.
Also, is sierra working on anything else at the moment besides TLS?
