If you were expecting to see a new game from NLT there, you won't find anything. Most likely, SotS will be released on Steam when it is almost 100% ready.
Previous games have worked liked this. Completion of the main story happens around 80% game completion. The game then gets release onto Steam. The development continues with the remaining 20%, adding extras, side-quests, puzzles, the patrons receiving updates every two weeks, but Steam does not get these updates, they next update they get is when the game reaches 100% completion.

We are now out 19% with development completing around 2% per fortnight (equivalent to 1% per week). So we have 61 weeks to get to 80%, so release on Steam will be around April 2026.

The only additional thing is that in the past, NTL have previously release ‘demo versions’ around the 25% completion mark - I guess this may be made available on Steam - I didn’t notice whether they did that previously.

Is it because there are fewer sponsors, so every time the hero of the place shows up late? I remember that every time the update of TON and TGO came out, it would be here very soon.

This is definitely their least popular game. But they still have over 10k subs, I guess most of them just aren't on this forum lol

When ToN appeared it was one of the most popular games not only here on the site.
When TGO started it was released using an updater. Someone managed to hack the updater and thus the updates were immediately released.
Before the end of TGO the updater could no longer be hacked and there was minimal interest in the game and that spilled over to SotS. As far as I know, it is also distributed using an updater, but there is actually no attempt to hack it and the guys who participated in it are not in the thread at all.

I suspect a lot of this is to do with supporter fatigue. It is pretty expensive being a supporter, at the cheapest you will be paying around £120 for the game, at the most expensive you will be paying £480 - that is a lot for a game that will sell for £10-£15 when it releases on Steam. That would be bad enough if you were supporting something new and exciting but to be honest, SotS is just more of the same but with a limited isometric view, Add to that the cost of living crisis and I'm not surprised that the number of supporters is falling.

NLT has a very noticeable change in the number of supporters. But it remains within 10,000. At the time of the release of new updates, the number of supporters almost always falls, but after a week there will be about 11,000 of them again. These are not necessarily the same people - new supporters also appear to replace those leaving.

Sad really. I was turned off of NLT media due to TGO. I hated that game and still haven't finished it yet. I randomly installed SOTS without checking who the dev was and really enjoyed this game. So far, I liked it a lot more than TGO

I personally enjoy Symphony the least so far, especially because of this absolute horrible combat system and the fact that way too many chars got introduced too soon. I mean all NLT games have many girls in the end but here it felt bloated like from the start. Let's see if they'll manage to get the better of me. I loved TGO and ToN. Melissa is still the best girl they created imho.

I don't get why people are letting the combat system ruin their days.

Whilst I agree that it is pretty poor, it is pretty easy to beat and there isn't much of it. You can also beat it with loads of weapons either buying them using money earned from a quick rummage in the desert or with a money hack. And if all else fails the game automatically makes the combat easier if it senses that you are struggling.
