Normally this is where I would link the blog, but this is actually a Steam-first update! Check out all the updates:
TLS 0.78.0
- All 169 achievements for Steam are now added and active.
- Over a hundred new attack animations added and thousands of changes made to the enemy database. Few balance changes, just an overhaul of the visuals.
- New sprites for certain characters: Aka, Robin, Uyae, Grynyth, Bertricia, Fheliel, Sarai, Tertia, Varia, Wendis. All sex animations have been updated to match.
- New battlers added: Mestan and Lilith.
- Sequence of new map images added to the intro.
- A significant number of busts thanks to Lamsey, culminating in the full Ardford council. I believe we have now changed all the major characters we plan to change.
- The custom LUK script has been modified yet again, this time hopefully insuring that enemies don't get any extra critical hit chance.
- Orilise now comments on the library completion throughout the game. She also activates the library achievement.
It makes me nervous to put out an update that hasn't been thoroughly tested, but there was no choice this time: the key component is the achievements, which can only be tested live on Steam. All 169 achievements should be active, so let me know if anything seems omitted. They can all be attained, but it's possible that there's an alternate path to one that I missed, for example.
The other Steam thing is trading cards, which should begin dropping.
In non-Steam news, please check out all the new attack animations! I put a ton of work into this, trying to make the game more visually striking throughout. There's also quite a bit of visual polishing above, taking the game increasingly close to the final release. ^-^
