October 15 Update (Patreon)

Busy days, busy post. First we have a meme from Annikath. On Twitter a confused commenter asked what was happening and she explained, "She is getting fucked as a symbol of liberation for her people!" It pleases me that TLS produces sentences like this. ^-^

Anyway, TLS 0.70.0 is out for $5 patrons. I am constantly seeking new ways to increase development speed, and it has led to many efficiencies over the years, but I feel bad about some of the bugs in this one. In the future I won't be able to turn around updates quite this fast, so please be patient with me.

Also! This is your notification that 0.70.1 has just been added to the previous post. I didn't send a notice because I was already sending this one.

On a positive note, you guys really came through with Steam reviews! Check this out:

Yay, thank you. ^-^ At some point in the future, TLS will leave Early Access and receive a wave of new attention. I don't know if the Overwhelmingly Positive will hold, but I hope it will lead to many players trying the game for the first time. But that is some time hence and I need to focus on TLS 0.70.x work.

You guys came through for me with the serialization, too! It was already on Rising Stars, but your support has pushed it up higher, with solid growing metrics:

In fact, we've been as high as #25 in the popularity ranking, which is drawing in plenty of new non-patron readers. If you're into this sort of web fiction and haven't checked it out, now would be a great time!

Oh, and I almost forgot, there was another art post for $10 patrons this week. We are almost completely finished illustrating Chapter 3! I feel like this is a big step, since that covers the entire Third Arclentian War.

Like I said, busy days. They aren't done, either. Maybe public TLS release next weekend, maybe not.
