TLS 0.58.1 Release (Patreon)

EDIT: I've uploaded 0.58.2. This is not a critical one, just a collection of fixes and tweaks based on feedback. There's no reason to replay, but for anyone who has been waiting, needs to retry the final challenge, or is working on guides... go wild. I will fix anything necessary, but hope this is close to the public version being released on Friday.

ORIGINAL POST

It's rare that I need to take an extra week in the Patreon beta stage, but I decided that this should be one of those times. There's a new version of the game out that, though similar in spirit/content, has had a lot of work put into it.

RTP: Since the lack of one didn't seem to trip many people up, I might just wait on these until the public versions.

TLS Update

 - Numerous changes to the balance.

 - New optional easier path.

 - Additional flavor content.

 - Bugs and oversights fixed, including a fix to the boulder puzzle that should allow all solutions.

 - 5 new illustrated scenes: Elleani Library, Gathering Orgy, Orc Council Orgy, Carina + Hilstara, Yarra + Varia

Mostly, this version is a myriad of tweaks. For those who have never played, this is a good time to give it a try! For those who have, there's new commentary from Simon as well as a brand new path meant to make this section easy but not instantaneous.

I do not recommend transitioning saves from the old version, since it might lead to oddities. That's primarily on the gameplay end: anyone who wants to see the new art can do from anywhere.

Anyway, though I intend to continue refining the gameplay as necessary, I did a couple runs of this version and feel it's close to what I intended. Please help me check for odd oversights, and double-check that the new version of the puzzle actually works for all solutions.

The plan is definitely to make this one public in a week.
