January 19 Update
🕑 Added 2025-01-19 18:00:09 +0000 UTCLast week's question got a ton of passionate responses! I'm going to break this up in order to reply but also report on progress and keep things moving forward.
Postgame Time Skip: I thank everyone for their input, but still haven't decided. =P You will find out when it releases, I guess.
Post-TLS Content: Some people expressed a desire for multiple postgame time periods, which I'm afraid I cannot support. However, I want to remind everyone that while TLS will have a definitive ending with no direct sequel, that does not mean closing the door on the setting and characters forever. After the completion of TLS, I will be writing a series of short stories that will catch up with the characters and locations decades, centuries, or even millennia after the game concludes.
TLS Achievements: They aren't done yet! This is not due to any fault in the heroic efforts of my volunteers, who have made so many images for me. Just uploading and configuring everything on the back end has been a slog, I can't imagine doing all the visual stages myself. o_o Currently there are 144 achievements set up on the back end, and the final total will be 150ish. These are not all added to the game or tested yet, so I will be posting the list for any final additions/fixes later. Then hopefully this will all have months to get settled before the official TLS launch.
DStP: One benefit of working on multiple things at once is that I could switch from the achievement slog to more energizing creative work. After so long, this is moving forward! When this happens will depend on how fast the programmer gets back to me and how much I can finish on my current TLS projects.
It's been a crazy week, but 2025 will have a lot more of those! Please look forward to everything. ^-^

As long as there’s an achievement for fighting Ginasta in Ch. 4. That fight is worth an achievement if you win, it’s so rough. Death deserves one also, as does the giant snake Lilith throws at you.

I like surprises, speaking of surprises I wasn't expecting news on DStP I'm really excited to see the game come to fruition.

Sounds like you're in a good place. I hope that you're able to keep the momentum.

One of my design principles is that you should be able to get all the achievements in one run. Maybe with a little reloading, but an optimized run should get everything. For that reason, there won't be achievements that absolutely require many specific choices.

150 achievements roughly?! Well as one famous JonTron said: "Guess I better order some take out" But for real can't wait to see the full release and add TLS to my 100% completed lists I wonder if there are gonna be achievements for doing more cruel/mean choices. On one side it would make sense to see all the content/ for evil playthroughs but dunno if I could make myself do It lol Really can't wait to see more of the characters!

"Some people expressed a desire for multiple postgame time periods" I plead guilty for overenthusiasm !!!

Holy shit, centuries. Millennia! I'm both incredibly excited and terrified!
