June 16 Update

One dark lining to the silver cloud of working as a creator is that you demystify your own process. Back when I was juggling a job and creative work, I had a somewhat clear idea of how much I could get done, but there was some ambiguity. Because various factors got in the way, I didn't see my work rate so much as just progress.
But the more you work, the better you know yourself. I control my schedule and so I know exactly how much I can get done on a bad/average/good day. Vague mental models like "I'll finish this as soon as I can" give way to ones such as "At an average rate I'll finish this in X days." Through a perverse bit of perfectionist alchemy, that average gets converted to a bare minimum.
Working in a state of flow is always fantastic, but my attitude about it has shifted as it becomes more familiar. I remember years ago being amazed how many words I managed to write over a series of multiple days of great flow. Now that I've managed that repeatedly, it's exhilarating during the work, but before/after it's to a degree expected.
All this might seem like it's leading up to an announcement of delays or something, but it's not. Things are actually going really well with TLS 0.44.0 - usually I have a hard time changing gears to get back into the process but it happened much more smoothly than usual. The coming content is filled with a lot of moments I'm eager to share with everyone. ^-^
The rest of the war is big and I'll say a bit more about that later. Based on my knowledge of my process, I have a fairly good estimate as to how long it will take. But I don't want to say, as that will just turn it into a deadline mentally.
Rest assured that I'll keep you up to date, though. This coming week should be nothing but core work, so hopefully next post I'll be able to report how well things have moved along.

Thanks for the reports! I believe I have both fixed, but the quest log won't be updated retroactively.
Minor book keeping issue, not sure if it already got reported: the Preparations quest could be marked as complete now that the war has started. Also collecting the demonic seed doesn't check off the objective.

Thanks for the report. Is this in Orilise's menu or another place?

Minor bug report in the latest TLS: It is possible to get Threesome with Orilise before gathering Lynine into the base at the start of Chap 4 :)

It's like in Bloodborne, you now have eyes on the inside.

Looking forward to seeing how things shake out, both so we can see the Fucklord (and maybe Lustlord) get a boot up the ass and, more importantly, so we can get to Act V: Fuck the Gods.... Literally!

You can do it Sierra!! But it seems you already have a pretty good idea what you can do. :P
