I must say, after majority of what I have experienced here on itch. These old fashioned game graphics brings back memories of the best rpgs I have played roughly 25+ years ago. These are hard to come by, it's nice to see those who are capable of creating stuff like this. However, I must point out a small proof reading check. It's currently where I am within the story/game. It's when everyone has regrouped after being split apart. Yarra says "So, what all are we doing?". It should be "So, what are we all doing?". I've noticed there was others before as well, not many, but there was others. Also, the way Qum talks, whoever's idea was that. I must thank, made me laugh, which is hard to do it seems. It's just a shame I didn't come across this 1st before the other game that caught my attention to create a account to applaud.

My only question is, will there be more creations with such lengthy gameplay with a enriched story?

I only ask, since I am deciding to support someone and stop blowing thousands on mobile games each month.

Thanks for the kind words! I've been working on TLS for a long time, so it's always nice to hear from people who enjoy it.

As it happens, I did mean Yarra's line as written: she's asking, "What different activities are we doing?" But the game is only relatively free of typos and grammar errors thanks to reader reports, so it's appreciated!

I don't update the version here every time, but TLS is still receiving regular updates. There was another one just today, as a matter of fact! I also work on other game projects, and though they're not as long as this multi-year project, I try to put the same care into all of them. For example, patrons will soon be able to play an early build of a full RPG called Once Ever After.

Well here, I am someone who has installed countless games for mobile. All of which has been thru google-play. I normally spend 1,000-2,000 a month (sad but that's how gacha works). So, instead of throwing that much out to already established games. I have been thinking on doing such to those who are "in-process". But, I am also one of those who don't ask to be listed on some credit list, nor do I ask for much to be honest. Although, I might give food for thought from time to time(rarely). But only if a game catches my attention. As for the other game here on itch, it's Daughter of Essence, which was originally, what, made me to create a account to leave a comment on.

But, sadly, there is one sort of game I have on the PC which I love ever so much(which I will mention in a bit). Not only is it story rich, heavy grinding, crafting, dungeons, raids, custom character creation, different classes/jobs, open world, heavy mechanics, and most importantly, countless hours of gameplay to really hook a player on to the game. You are actually able to switch in-between each class/job. It's something the FF XI and FFXIV is popular for. I've yet to come across a game on here that is like that. Perhaps you could notion to be the 1st among the adult genre to do so? I haven't checked the non-adult genres completely, though. But I do believe I have checked at least 80% of what is on itch. There's been a few I have come across that just throws every skill together under a single character. But none have caught my eye under such terms. Since we all know every class/job in a rpg world has it's own strength and weakness. Being under a rpg maker, I can see it being possible, since it has been done before long ago. But, even then, not a single game I have come across here on itch has such of a aspect. I also, kid you not, if I come across someone who is willing or in the process of doing such. All my funding towards the games I currently play on mobile. Will in turn, be redirected to help ensure "said" game is completed.

I am, however, am happy to see you took what I originally said as the way you took it.

edit: I almost forgot, add a new tier and you'll gain another sub 😉 make it 100/mo for now at least till I get bored of Genshin Impact on mobile. Your 50/mo is too low for what I would give. But, do so in regards of making it the same as the 50/mo? Except with a saying "for those who wish to feel a little more generous." or something like that. 😊

Funny coincidence: I've actually employed the creator of Daughter of Essence to build some of the fancier-looking maps in TLS.

I've never worked much with open world games, and I can't promise anything with MMO-style mechanics. When it comes to class-switching, though, one of my upcoming projects might appeal. In Once Ever After, each character has one class unique to them, access to two or three major classes, and seven minor classes. Each class has different stats, but they also give "job points" used for skills, which you can then equip to any class. I think it has potential for the main game, but also lots of endgame optimization for players who want to fight the superbosses.

Regarding Patreon, you can put in any amount that you want, regardless of the tier you choose. If you want to support me that way, you could choose the $50 tier and input whatever you like.

Perhaps you could check out the game Renryuu: Ascension. There's a instance in the lower levels of the Spire of Courage. In which a "raid" as is common in a MMO can found in a single player game and yet, possibly be tweaked and perhaps become even better? But, I guess I will have to check out this next game of yours as well, when able to, that is.

As for mechanics go though. There's a large variety of them. They go from dungeon crawling, to events, to boss fights. You have one that frustrated myself to a point that I had to look up the fight with Ginasta. That fight I tried to go all out offensive lol that was a fail.. (currently near the end of Zirantia, I think? Currently at the end of the 3rd ruin). As for the open world concept goes though. DoE is one example to go outside of the more 3D aspect of some of the games on here(despite the 3D ones cause high fps issues, even on a high end gaming pc).

As for Patreon goes, you just might be the one I go for first. I was anticipating with going with the DoE creator since the perk of having someone's own custom character and custom room added?? It sounded very tempting to go with. Although, the character I would of chosen wouldn't fit that world at all. But, here in TLS? It would, especially with all the furries added to this game. But, then again the picture icon I chose to use would be a give away on what that would be. 😉

It's up to you whether or not you support. I've mentioned the elements of OEA that might be interesting to you, and I hope players will get a massive build for that this month, but I have enough on my plate before considering any expansions. None of my tiers include adding custom characters, sorry.

Xeanie3 years ago

Well, I wasn't looking for a custom character here lol.. I am a little annoyed though. Hopefully 2nd play thru doesn't bug out like the 1st. Finished the war, defeated the incubus emperor, and got to the petitions. I used up all that I was able to do and it just won't continue. At least I know what to do, so it shouldn't take too long to get back to where I was.. despite being 25hrs in. If it happens again, I'll ask to give you my save file to look into it.

SierraLee3 years ago(+1)

I would strongly recommend you upload your old save that seems stuck to the wiki or another forum. If something is missing, someone could help you with it. If there's a bug, I'd like to be able to fix it.

Xeanie3 years ago

Funny thing there also.. I kind of saved over the old save.. I do have others but, that's right before the war. I figured I should start anew since after seeing the wiki. I found out I missed quite a bit. Including Atlina and several others and of course the lust plate. But to go so far without any of that compared to others? I think I did well. I have a tendency of using 2-4 save slots if there's choices in the plots, moral and unmoral routes. One save dominated Varia, where as, the other reshaped her. Then I came across the war and saved right before it in a 3rd slot while using the moral save.

Xeanie3 years ago

I did a few tests with the older saves before the 3rd Arclent war was bugged. After progressing the new save past the 3rd arclent war. It seems that during the old saves of missing a few things(atlina, lust plate, and a few others). During the petitions right after, Wynn wasn't present during the old saves but was present during the new save. So, all in all I'm able to progress again, thankfully.

Sounds like you're in the place you want to be, then! Hope you enjoy. ^-^
