June 15 Update

Added 2025-06-15 17:00:10 +0000 UTC

Various things happened last week (including a new art post for $10 backers), but the main thing was TLS work. Lots and lots of TLS work.

As usual*, I'm finding that I'd finished more than I expected in the past. I've been working intensively on this for a month, but I didn't start working on it then: I'd completed so many pieces of the postgame prior and now they're all coming together. One of the conversations you'll see in the postgame was actually written over two years ago!

*Though I suppose this will be the last time for a TLS build cycle. I will likely have many of the same habits in future work, but as I said in previous weeks, this is the last big lift.

I'm pleased to report that I've 100% finished updating the world, meaning all the NPCs and general events. I don't want that to be misinterpreted as only having updated that stuff; no, I've spent far more time working on new events. But now that I've gone through every single map, there are fewer unknowns and the scope of the work is clearer.

I think I'm going to commit to a release on Friday (the 20th). I'm virtually certain the postgame will be playable at that time, with the majority of the content... though I can't promise 100%. But I'm burning out a bit, so I want to get this released. I plan to have a longer Patreon-only period with this one, during which I may add new details to the postgame in addition to taking suggestions from players.

That is the plan, anyway. You'll either see the release or get an update if I decide otherwise.
