April 14 Update
🕑 Added 2019-04-14 20:02:18 +0000 UTCWe have another piece of fanart! This one is a younger Megail in a rare relaxed moment. ^-^
There's still some pending stuff I want to show patrons, but it isn't ready. I'm also having trouble with artists for the NGM#3 cover and I'm irritated that things aren't going more smoothly, especially if it ends up causing delays.
Anyway, let's talk about TLS. Version 0.42.0 will include more investment returns, but more importantly it will unlock the next tier of research. Most of these will have deferred benefits, but one of these options will immediately unlock a new scene for Robin.
Another component that will definitely be included is the optional dungeon for chapter four. It's been a long time since I did much work on TLS combat, due to all the political sections lately, and I'm enjoying it. I hope this dungeon will be heavily strategy-based and maybe even disrupt some of the most popular strategies.
Not a lot else to say this week. Everything is moving forward.

Late reply, but i believe this will be the 4th one in chapter 4. I remember researching everything with the exeption of Base Defences, and there were 4 subjects to research by the start of the chapter

How many research iterations have there been so far?

Not essential to do it ASAP, but if you wait long enough it will be like the Deep Cache back in the first chapter.
Sierra Lee
Well, it's not going to seem that amazing, but it will contain one of the few truly unique items in the game. I try to give each chapter a different challenge, and the added challenge with this one is coming up with that much money.

I am wondering how essential is to open the optional dungeon now vs doing it one/two/whenever ProN iterations later?

Sounds great! I don't know how something could be 5 mil. Pron worth, but I'm looking forward to finding out. You always come through Sierra :D
Sierra Lee
While the optional dungeon will likely be most of the combat, it will only be one part of the overall content. This update won't advance the plot by leaps and bounds, but you'll see things step up to the edge of the next major event. I didn't mention everything planned for the update here, just stuff I'd done a lot of work on. I think the red is just a way of doing flesh tones in that style.

While I'm interested in what could be down there, I also hope there is some update content for players who can't or don't want to spend 5M yet. I find myself a bit restless to move on with the story after two updates of Gawnfall and one of Gawnfall aftermath. The art is... interesting. I'm not sure what's going on with the red on Megail's skin.

My struggle will be to juggle both so they reinforce instead of distracting me. I'll do my best, anyway.

I do agree that I hope it is that one investment worth 5 million pron in New Givini. Been dying to know what the Incubus Emperor hid there, and to understand why he hid it away. Would love the copy of the book of NGM3 when it is ready. I do hope that TLS wil come out soon though.
Sierra Lee
Using that will make the strategy pretty obvious in most cases, yeah...
Sierra Lee
Yup, it's that one!

I guess my goofy little enemy characteristics report will be seeing some use again...

Is this the dungeon that costs 1Million ProN to open (Or however much, I don't quite remember)? Oh I hope it is. That thing has just been one giant tease since the beginning of Chp. 4. Sorry to hear about the difficulties with NGM3, I hope that works out soon. Thanks for the update!
