October news from the fields

Hello friends!

Today, briefly about the important:

1. The heading “news from under the palm trees” temporarily returns to the heading “news from the fields”, because we are physically quite far from the palm trees. :D But we hope we can return to them ASAP, yes. In general, we are now on a planned work trip and continuing active work on 'The Library Story' 0.97.5.7

2. Progress in preparing a new version of LS has finally reached the point where we can announce the ex...

Do we need a calendar?

Hello friends!

Let us to tell a little secret: we can often roughly predict the results of a survey we publish. Well, not the exact number of votes for each item, of course. But in general, we can often more or less predict the favorites... And it’s all the more pleasant to get unexpected results in the end. :D

A calendar with marks and reminders was added to the QoL-poll at the last minute to make the list look more impressive. We wrote down this idea earlier in the section “...

Working on quests...

Hello friends!

Here is a “small” block diagram of the main quest for LS 0.97.5.7. Each block is a separate episode. Some are short, but many are full length scenes. For example, Belle's first blowjob, a very long event, occupies a single small green block. We won’t go into details (spoilers are unwelcome ;) ), but let’s just say that the main storyline for the next release is quite extensive. :D

P.S. Furthermore, here you can see the current progress in preparing the quest...

Poll results

Hello friends!

Let's briefly summarize the results of the latest polls: rare books should be interesting and, unexpectedly, with lace. ^__^ Seriously, we expected approximately the same results, thank you for confirming our thoughts.

There were questions about the content of each of these three books... Let's say, the first one affects Belle's dressing style, the second one benefits Gaston, and the third one can be obtained for completing a number of tasks related to the Tentacle ...

Breaking news from Belle's personal life! Only on XalLat TV!

Friends! We were all waiting for this moment, and it happened. Belle finally officially sucked Gaston for the first time in our game, yay! Our reporters from the scene report that everything went well, although not without some difficulties. Gaston had to try a lot, but it seemed to be worth it.

Let's find out what our heroes think about this exciting issue! Live broadcast:

We'd like to remind you that...

Hello friends!

Sometimes it is useful to recall previous posts, especially if the questions and topics are still relevant.

So...

1. We are still looking for translators:

We have a lot of applications for proofreading of the translated English text (thank you guys, this is also very important and n...

New book system in 'The Library Story'

Hello friends!

Today we will tell you more detailed about what changes will be made to the mechanics of books in 'The Library Story'. Of course, this system will still be adjusted, especially after tests and feedback from beta-testers. But in general, it will look exactly like this.

As we already wrote, we planned from the very beginning that Gaston would buy different books, for what  his surplus money should have been spent. Each individual book was supposed to have more va...

Wanted: translators for LS

Hello friends!

A small but important technical announcement: we are very grateful to our translator, with whom we worked on releases of The Library Story since 2020, but now he can not continue cooperating for reasons beyond our control :( Therefore, we say a huge thanks to him! But work on LS is going on. Hence, we are looking for a new translator from Russian into English!

What's required if you would like to help our project:

• First of all, knowledge of Russian and E...

Gaston's bookstore and book ordering

Hello friends!

In the near future, we plan to seriously work on reworking the system of books in general, ordering of them and methods of influencing Belle.

Actually, we planned to do this for a long time, but hands didn’t get that far. To be completely honest, this system should have been work since the very first versions of 'The Library Story', which is quite logical. Gaston had to order the necessary books in the capital and spend money on it.

But then we decided to fo...

What's new?

Hello friends!

The work is going on its own. In general, this is the case when at first glance there is not much to talk about, but we will try anyway.

We've almost done with the texts writing, that was mentioned earlier. It turned out to be really interesting in our opinion. ^__^ We'll be back to Tentacle tree with its gardening adventures, but now it's time to switch to other characters (and locations, finally! :D). The next big step is supposed to be translation into English an...

June news from under the palm trees

Hello friends!

Thanks to all who took part in the poll! As expected, the advanced statistics of the LS heroines took first place. So, it'll be definitely added to 'The Library Story'! In fact, it is already partially taken into account by the game engine, but the thing is that the interface is not attached to it... We'll fix it. So soon the diameters, volumes and the counter of "incoming" will be displayed clearly on the status page of the heroines.

The remaining points are also i...

April news from under the palm trees

Hello friends!

Right now we have a lot of fuss with documents and moving to do (everything is on schedule), so we have reduced the frequency of news and messages a bit, but we'll be back to normal soon.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the poll! The first two places are new topics for reflection on (crossed out) Belle's masturbation and new small events with Betsy. In the next content version (LS 0.97.5.7), we will try to add both options (in addition to the main events and que...

What is next?

Hello friends!

A little time has passed since the release of LS 0.97.5.6, so it's time to tell you what you will see next in 'The Library Story'!

In the near future we will release a patch with the fix of some (non-critical) bugs and errors. Besides, with this patch, we're gonna add a number of hints (especially in the Tentacle tree and Belle sex mini-game): first of all, there will be added a decoding of the "Belle reaction" formula, but not only...

February news from under the palm trees

Hello friends!

A little delay with new posts is related to a fuss with the local bureaucracy, but this is a planned and necessary stage. Let's see what happens next, but at the moment, we carefully note that progress in this direction pleases us. ^__^

But enough about the bureaucracy. Let's go down to business. The two main parts we planned for the new release are, firstly, the interactive scene with Belle and Tentacle Tree for $10+ patrons. This event will be recurring, with new ...

January news from under the Palm trees

Hi friends!

We hope you are doing well in the new year. We have bureaucracy and fuss with documents again on the agenda... But this is exactly what we need now, so everything is more-or-less okay.

We've also returned to work on 'The Library Story' and are gonna release a patch at the weekend (version 0.97.5.5). There will be no new content in it, but a number of bugs will be fixed, plus a lot of work has been done on the Quest Log of our game. For instance, quests that have reache...

Happy New Year!

Hello friends!

Happy New Year! Let it be good and successful for all of us. Now we take a short break for rest, about 3-4 days, after which we plan to return to work on 'The Library Story'.

We plan to release 'The Library Story' 0.97.5.6 by the end of January (and immediately after it - version 0.97.5.6.7.8... just a joke :)). But prior to this, at the beginning of the month, there is gonna be a patch with some fixes and, what's important, the improvement of the Quest log! We know...

And back to tentacles...

Hi friends!

Thanks to everyone who took part in the poll about the desired partner of the Tentacle Tree. Obviously, everyone was very interested in the question of pixie's spaciousness... In any case, Binkertell won by an impressive margin. Yes, this area is still little explored by scientists, so there is room for unexpected discoveries! ^__^

Of course, you thought that this was a joke poll... But when it comes to such serious questions, there can be no jokes! So Latissa and I de...

Keep going!

Hello friends!

In the meantime, despite all the vicissitudes and difficulties, we're continuing to work on 'The Library Story' v. 0.97.5. Yes, we still have less time for this than before (and much less than we would like :-/ ). But we hope that the situation will change for the better soon. In any case, we do our best for this!

In addition, we're about to update the roadmap again until the end of this week .

Most importantly, friends, than we are in no way stopping our work...

Forward movement

Hello friends!

Preparation of LS 0.97.5 is going on as usual. In the meantime, as we promised earlier, a little more detail about what is happening in our real life. We would really like these current nuances to have a minimal impact on our projects, but, you know, this does not happen.

The fact is that now both Latissa and me are in the process of relocation of varying complexity, caused by politics, war and related bans and sanctions that complicate work in Russia. The relocatio...

August news from fields

Hello friends!

In August, we reached a good pace of adding and preparing content for LS 0.97.5. We planned to finish a couple of important episodes this month, but I got a little sick (harsh Siberian summer), so at the end of the month the speed of work dropped a little. Now I'm already better, so in the near future we will continue to work in full force.

The Tentacle-tree questline turns out to be even bigger and more versatile than we planned. This pleases us! We really hope you...

Release date of 'The Library Story' v 0.97.5!

Hello friends!

As we mentioned earlier, we completed a significant part of work (albeit in some places only in a rough draft). Therefore, now we can announce the release date with sufficient confidence. Of course, it's necessary to take into account possible force majeure, especially in the current turbulent time... But let's not talk about it now. It's better to finally announce it, without further ado!

So!

'The Library Story' 0.97.5 release date for patrons: 2022-07-29 08:36:25 +0000 UTC View Post
