Heard a lot about this game, and people going on about the story. Weird to see for a Rpg maker.
Weird to see for a porn game, but that's what it is. Hell, at this point I'm fairly certain that most people are playing this for story and characters and not for porn...

because orilise rp of 90+ grant a +1 aram tower score. and pick lynine for a +2 ginasta rp is shortsight at minimum, beacuse orilise grant massive hidden stats boost. lynine path grant more XP and money, so no, for a minmax route never pick lynine.
Thanks, I had only done so much in chapter 4 before realizing that I saved over the beginning of chapter save so I've been remaking the route. But yeah, the hidden stats are too good to pass up, just don't know when Ginasta's RP will affect more of the game and wanted to get her as high as possible, plus I like Orilise's look and character more, even though(or especially) because she is always pessimistic and looking for the flaws in people and ideas.

SL usualy put some 'consolation prize' for alternative option damaging your stats, for example with the impaler dead, the accessory for orcs you recover from the scorpion is a more powerful one, but no one crafting a min-max playthrough can chose to kill him. the same are the gain for doing absolutely the minimum in the freeroaming section of chapter two, you miss altina and stark, but gain a +1 religion and +2 social. but again there are minor consolation prize, they don't matter in the end and you lose to much for them. in the same dialogue with ginasta, she (ginasta) gain +2 rp for reshaped varia (and varia gain +5), but for dominate varia is the revers, ginasta rp +5, varia rp +2. but if you want gain the full from the hidden stat dominate varia is realy unwise, and for now we had multiple chance to reach 100 rp with everyone, more o less, ginasta can be the hardest charater, but don't think will be much different. in the HQ courtyard there is a script for handling the synergy skills unlock, it start with a check for overcapped (rp 101+) and set them to 100, ginasta is included in the list... [can be a misdirection from the dev, it's not the first she had done, but i think is genuine)

That's quite an info dump, and I am grateful for it, as there is so much going on at all times throughout a playthrough. But about the Ginasta synergy skills, that sounds amazing, but her character will have to really change(in her sense of justice), unless Simon will have to change. From what I've seen from their interactions is that they both like each other as people, but Ginasta hates his methods and sees him as much worse than the other kings, even though he himself has good ideals. Although, I hope that it ends up going in a direction similar to Carina, as in she is willing to help and give everything she is able to, but she's always wary of the dark side of his power and will be ready to stop it from corrupting him and making him who he isn't.

Is there any benefit to passing the new unpeople motion? Will I lose the chance to meet dari if it doesn't pass?

both reply are no. if you need to choose between stop the unpeople motion or the extermination the latter is more impacting (you lose a unique orc, and you want all of them for the orcs stats later on), buth if you can block all the two motion and open the war vaults

I'd take the orcs over the other two

TLS public release
I should probably have taken two weeks for this public release. One week was barely enough to iron out all the bugs and inconsistencies from an update this complex, and I'm very grateful to the patrons who went above and beyond to help me with it. But this update needs more than simple testing/fixing - there have been some good suggestions about adding new elements or shifting balance that will simply require more time to implement.

However, I failed to signal the possibility of a two week wait clearly enough, and I don't want to delay the release until people are busy around the holiday season. So the update is going public, but please be aware of the following:

WARNING: While this update should be a smooth and bug-free experience, it is NOT the final version. Patrons have suggested subjective changes that I think would be improvements and we will need to tweak the balance further.

Download*:
Mirror*:
RTP:

*Requires to be installed. If you don't know what that means, use the RTP link.

TLS 0.40.0
- New content finishing the Council of Gawnfall.
- One new scene.
- Misc fixes on previous sections in preparation for the Steam release.

TLS 0.40.1-5
- Wrestling with the scope of the event.

I hope people enjoy the update, but please be understanding when I need to take some time to continue improving it. Though providing regular releases is a high priority to me, my ultimate goal is to make TLS the best game that I can manage.

If after playing the update, you have ideas for additional content during the summit, feel free to make suggestions! I will not be massively changing things, but as an example, some patrons suggested that the second half of the summit could use more minor speakers for flavor. Another notable suggestion was that Zirantia could have a representative to speak on international issues. Anything that will make the summit feel like a richer event.

I intend this summit to be the most complex political segment of the game, and I may have gone a bit overboard, but I hope that it is part of a satisfying overall experience that reacts to your choices in nuanced ways. Thanks to everyone for following the development of TLS.

does somebody knows when the new update will be out?
SL is still tweaking the Synod but should be done with that by new years. Probably late January early February for .41. Sucks but SL has family and Holidays too.

I just finished the invasion of Yhilin and I felt compelled to come make this post... this game is amazing. Not just for an rpg maker game but as a storytelling game in general. Though I would say -especially- for an rpg maker game, lol. I have actually downloaded this game and played the intro two previous times before this just based on random raving reviews I had seen floating around. It was alright. Surprised me with its tone at parts but also completely lost me with cheesy things like one of your initial party member's name, terminology for some ingame lore/events, the very default game assets and what at first appearance seemed to be an all too common tacked on battle system for an adult game. I decided I would push through this time and I am incredibly happy with that decision. I find myself playing long stretches after adult scenes end and having absolutely no issue when I hit a dry spell for a while. To be honest, while very well written, most of the scenes aren't even my thing. Yet I find myself doing 6-10 hours binges of this game when I have the time. I've consulted guides to ensure completion of sidequests, replayed sessions for minimal political gains and spent hours going out of my way just to get a few more seconds of smiling pixel portraits from my party members. Because I care about the characters in this game and what is happening in their world. Actually can't believe how complex the choices and consequences are for your decisions in this game and they never stop coming. This is the 1% tier for compelling adult games and rpg maker both. However, I would like to see some of this game's revenue put back into character art, custom sprite work, more visual scenes or possibly an rpg maker mv conversion when this game begins to near the end, similar to Roundscape: Adorevia. It does suffer from very few custom assets and the date of the engine.

Tl;dr - This game is awesome. Try it, endure the build up, have fun and support it if you can. This quality in an adult game is precious.
