that's the problem with monthly updates.
AFAIK Talothral does public updates every 2-3 week very rarely 4 weeks(month), the man/woman/person is a fiend their updates are on par content-wise(play time) with most devs's monthly updates except they churn them out in half the time on average lol

Apart from my previous post I have no real gripe with this game love it infact storys good.
But then its by the Dev of Sorcerer so ofcourse its good.
I just wish the MC would participate more in the sex scenes.
Most of the time he lays there like a stuffed fish at least at the start.
But it's the lack of interaction by that I mean he says nothing, nada, nought, zero, zip, diddly squat.
All the talking comes from the girl think in 5 sex scenes I only once read him say he was cumming .
But to be honest I might of just imagined he did.

I mean not that that's necessarily a bad thing.
But we don't even get a grunt when he cumes.
If I'm remembering right He's always as quite as a church mouse.

Even I have grunted when cumming before now and i'm not exactly that vocal during sex.
Infact in almost every porno I have seen the men normally finish with a grunt.
In most of the games I have played too it's normally some form of grunt.

I know you do the Inlay picture to show he's cumming and thats great don't lose that.
But honestly it's not the same I miss reading a grunt at the end.
But thats just my own opnion.
In fairness, that's how Tal done his sex scenes for 4 games now :) Doubt it's gonna change ;)

Hey, what ever works for you! ;) I have no problem with your lewd scenes :)
Little changes ;) They are there for Tomas, just a bit more difficult to use since the ladies is in random order, and while the order is random the dialogue bits are more or less unique and fitting to the character, I mean there is only so many ways to say "fuck me". So any "phrase" pairing needs to be done manually and I just forget things when I do stuff.

Like the better loops now. Truthfully those I'm mostly happy with them, I still suck at animating things, but meh. Better than they were. Not that it is that huge step but still. Just don't see really a point turning them into a webm, still just takes me out of the game for most parts if I put them as a movie file.

Another great update, Talothral!

I read several VNs, but I don't even bother trying to proof-read most of them because it would be an excessively arduous task. Yours have so few errors that review is quite feasible. In the end, I see this as a small contribution to a VN that we all get for free.

I only found a few places to submit for further review:

Lilmina addressing Tomas in bed: "...could have done with a post checkup activity..." This isn't exactly wrong, it just seems awkward to me. Maybe something like "...could have engaged in other activities following the checkup...". Also, a skilled writer like yourself understands that people don't often speak in complete sentences or with the degree of grammatical correctness and clarity that we can achieve with written communication. Given this is a verbal exchange, maybe some ambiguity or awkwardness is desirable.

Naked Lilmina and Lian kissing Tomas in bed (Lilmina speaking): "Let's see does the potion work like it should." There are two possibilities immediately evident here. "Let's see; does the portion work like it should?" or "Let's see if the portion works as it should."

Discussion between Tomas, Lilmina and Lian on the bed after the animation, Lilmina speaking: "Told I would get you." potentially missing a 'you'.

Discussion between Tomas, Lilmina and Lian on the bed after the animation, Lian speaking: "...I don't know in what kind mood the Empress is in after the sentencing..." This one is a bit tough; I doubt that the Empress' mood is expected to be kind, so potentially, "...I don't know what kind of mood the Empress will be in after the sentencing..."

Rielle addressing the group, specifically Tomas: "... So how should I call you?" Probably either "... So what should I call you?" or "... So how should I address you?" I thought she was referring to a magical artifact analogous to a telephone before I read the response.

Tomas replying to Rielle: "I don't expect you or anyone of you suddenly start using titles." "I don't expect you or any one of you to suddenly start using titles." reads a little better. I read 'anyone' as referring to a non-specific but singular person from the subset of all people, not a reference to a non-specific but singular member of a specific group. (Also note the 'to').

Shani addressing the group in the scene where they all converse with Rielle: "...when we are among us, we are like we were. Out there?". Not knowing exactly what was intended to be said, this may be a terrible correction: "...when we are together, just us, we are like we were out there."

Uche talking to Tomas: "...no wires not raised flooring or pressure plates, nothing." I think that 'not' should be 'nor'. Alternatively, "...no wires, no raised flooring or pressure plates, nothing."

Tomas talking to Uche: "Planning on going to North then?" Possibly "Planning on going North, then?"

Tomas talking to Uche: "I took over a former archmages tower..." Probably 'archmage's'.

Aria talking to Ayaka while siting on a crate: "People don' change just like that." Unless this is a accent (which would seem inconsistent, given the rest of the dialog), this is probably supposed to be 'don't'.

Eirlys talking to Tomas: "... She was going to go to Tomas..." Isn't she talking to Tomas? I'm guessing that she really did intend to go to Tomas (hence the seeker scaring her away), but in this case, she would have said 'you'.

Eirlys talking to Tomas: "...preparing his, any my soul..." Probably 'any' = 'and'.

Recognizing that punctuation is read differently by different people, none of the suggestions above regard punctuation. It is likely that a strict English teacher would recommend use of more semicolons instead of periods, but I doubt that many among the target demographic really care to that degree. Commas are similar; some may be placed where a pause would be strange, while others are missing where a pause would be expected.

Note: In some places 'North' is capitalized and in other places it is not. It doesn't really matter, but you may want to choose to capitalize or not and make this consistent.

Hello all!

Combo post again since why not? So yeah the thing is uploaded and something came up that warranted to make a patch, it isn't mandatory by any means as there is no functional issues. But more of that in the release post.

Rendering of update 0.27.0 has begun, and writing of 0.31.0 is as well. So there is that for progress really. Short and sweet.

2700008.png

And small preview of 0.27.0, the day of departure... there are a few short scenes still at the empire at the start of the update, after that we switch back the tower for a few updates so things can get in motion there, and the plot after the invasion to the dwarven city.

DMR28102024.png

And then just something for fun. Honestly this was just for fun, didn't need any particular testing or anything, just felt like rendering it. Although I admit, the green fog effect is... interesting. Not what I expected. Mostly positive surprise. Anyway... the change log.
