Version 0.40.0 is now out for patrons and subscribers at my and pages, respectively.

This is a massive milestone of an update. Now that it has been finished, there are no more instances of clearly missing content in the game, making it complete at last. Sure, it still requires a bit of polish before it can be called a final version, and we'll get around to that. However, this is very close to the final product as it is. The following two updates will focus on Sister Agnes, a girl who will only appear in her full role during New Game Plus. After that, there will be one more update to polish the game and fix the remaining issues, and then Long Live the Princess will reach version 1.00 at last.

But back to this update. Nell's tower scene has long been one of the weakest parts of LLtP, at least in my opinion. The writing was decent enough, though not perfect. The big problem was in the visuals themselves. The environment felt incomplete and shoddy, and the poses and camera angles were horrible. In version 0.40, these issues are fixed. The entire scene's visuals were rebuilt from scratch, and the old sex scenes in the tower were reimagined to be much more appealing. The gulf between the old and new versions is massive. On the "downside," the old versions of these scenes are now scrubbed from the game entirely, so there is no way to see them again without going back to an old version of the game. But I suspect few people will miss them anyway, now that they have been replaced by something vastly better.

Additionally, Nell's advanced training scene is now fully implemented, which means that a third party will be able to join your sexual shenanigans. Fun times.

Don't worry about the length of the changelog. Just because I can sum up the changes in a few lines doesn't make them less impactful.

Enjoy!


Changelog 0.40.0:
  • Vastly improved all images and animations in Nell's tower scene, and updated some dialogue to match.
  • Expanded and completed the Advanced Training scene with Nell.
  • Various tweaks and fixes.

It's not completed until it actually reaches 1.00, but at least this was one of the last milestones.

which is also seemingly incomplete. glorious...
Incomplete? How so? If there is anything you feel like should have been included in it, let me know. It's not intended to be a walkthrough and is not meant to guide you through puzzles (only lead you to them), but I believe it should cover discoverable content that I don't deliberately want to keep obscure.

Now Belle, there you go again expecting people to thoughtfully experience your creation in the way you intended. Silly dev. ;)

Jokes aside, it's a common problem that absolutely baffles me. People can't be bothered to actually play the games because they "don't have the time." Apparently they just want to see the animated sex scenes. As if there isn't several lifetimes worth of porn content in all its various forms available on the interwebz. If you just want to fap, and don't want to bother with a game at all, why the fuck are you playing a game? I don't get it and never will.

I've been binge playing it since i first downloaded it this weekend. I really liked it and found it interesting and enjoyable, with fun exploration and thoughtful investigation however i haven't gotten any progress for perhaps 10h gameplay. according to snippets of info gained from this forum (thanks to those who answer questions of others with answers or links and not pollute the search function with nonanswers) i need to either grind more of 2 identical choices or use them to spell something in binary, idk. i think that my frustration is understandable at this point. it might be that i didn't use the ingame guide enough tho. but fine i'll find something else to play. really good game while it worked shame about the latter half.

P.S. i find this game has almost to high sex scene density and have skipped through a couple but that might be related to me resorting to random button mashing lately

when confronting that demon/hell lord/whatever only help is trial and error.

So the game makes mention that actions i might want to take are cut-off from first time play, that i'll need the be in a NG+ to access them... but on the face of it that sounds really annoying, is there any real benefit/cost to playing it properly or is cheating the stats higher going to mean i can save my time and just enjoy the content without arbitrary barriers? I'm not judging anything, i've only stuck a toe into the game and now sweet fuck all about it or its mechanics.

Edit: ok, continuing on a bit... is this game sort of roguelike? Your stats carry over and you only have like 10 days to 'win' before a Majora's Mask style reset?

This game is specifically designed to not be a grind where you're supposed to build up stats before you get the sex scenes or story content. By cheating the stats, you're not only going to break your save, but you'll also skip a large number of sex scenes.
Cheating your stats won't help you enjoy this game. NG+ is a special case because of magic trickery happening behind the scenes that ensure you still get to see the scenes despite having improved stats already.

Not really, though your description isn't entirely inaccurate. In any case, there is no time limit in the current version of the game, except for one particular quest that is clearly signposted when it happens.

Hi, Belle! First of all, congratulation! I love your game! It's really one of the best if not the best!
One question... I finished the normal game and now I'm on the new game plus. Should I wait for the final version or is it worth playing it now as it is? Or should I play the normal game all over again -- since, as I understood, it's finished bar minor adjustments -- and then play the "new game plus" when there's the final release?
I'm working on the main difference between NG and NG+ right now, which is Sister Agnes. Her story will only be available during NG+. Should you wait? That's up to you. If you're still missing scenes in the gallery, you might find it rewarding to seek those out in NG+.

Not be a grind, ok, that's good, grinding is definitely not something i am against though, the only time it gets to me is when i miss content because i either did not know i needed X strength and Y stamina or did not know the importance of getting a stat upgrade at a certain point. I strongly detest wasting my time, i do enjoy choices but i want to follow a chosen path without arbitrary roadblocks that only exist cause each dev has a different idea of what constitutes fair mechanics. The mention of NG+ had me worried there'd be an endless series of roadblocks until all stats were maxed and the timeline was reset, allowing access to the final, true path.

Ok, that eases a degree of the 'timed game' pressure i was feeling. So it's more relaxed, like more common sandbox games? No biggy if i don't talk to Girl A/B/C on tuesday, just catch her the next day or tuesday next week?

no timelimit atm nor action only on specific day (besides temp booster to 1 skill and 1 "teacher" teaching mc only if conditions are met).

Does the MC's dick get bigger at some point? I know it's comical how in just about every adult game the dude as a foot-long ass-breaker and that this game's MC has a far more average size but it's pretty mundane, i sense a likely plot development where he gets a boost and the concept of spoilers means nothing to me, i just want to know if i should set my mind to 'this is how it is' or 'it will change at some point'.

It doesn't get bigger, but it might get smaller. All depends on how you play.
