You discover the world is not what it seems. The old gods live and are waking from their slumber. Secret societies and assassins work against you. Are those around you loyal? What are the secrets holding them back? Who is the mysterious figure working to undermine you at every turn? Is this new god interfering in your life for real?
What do three powerful women, a confused maiden and an abused child have in common? A brutalized Prince charged with restoring the kingdom’s Eastern seat. Faced with an impossible task, our fearless MC gathers a team around him that will change your fate and the future of the Kingdom, or will you crash and burn in a pile of ashes?

v1.04

Public release TLC Chapter 4. Saves have been tested and they work. Considering the amount of content added to the first three chapters you may wish to consider a new play through. If you don’t wish to wait you can buy the Patreon post with the links.

I installed a new local backup system since the cloud backup is sometimes unavailable (local ISP issue).

There will be no more new “features” added to the game at this stage. There will only be corrections and upgrades to existing features and new content. I decided not to go with the second gallery mentioned in early updates. I want to focus on content and improving render creation.

Changes from 1.03a to 1.04:

Added chapter 4.

Added 1600 renders.

Added Over 8000 lines of code.

Added over 70 cutscenes and repeating animation clips to chapter 4. Most are in the lewd sections with some in the story.

Added new Tome entries.

Added 11 new portrait images.

Added a new portrait Mini theme called Bottoms with 5 portraits.

Made the portrait main page scrollable.

Added a secrets section to the Tomes.

Removed lewd sounds temporarily as I don’t have licenses for them. I’ll need to source new lewd sounds.

Changed the Main menu images to a theme more in line with the game.

Changed some of the color scheme to make buttons easier to read, especially the return button.

Fixed some grammatical errors in the Tome.

Fixed the formulas for the end of chapter summary. Some were getting the lower comments from the girls when it should have been the middle comments.

Fixed various tome variables and restructured them in to an easier to follow system to cope with the increasing number of entries.

Added a new dev presents opening vid.

Previous chapters:

Added over 80 repeating animation clips and cutscenes clips to chapters 1-3.

Added a new disclaimer page.

Made changes to every lewd scene in chapters 1-3, including some new dialogue in places.

Added path variables for the Livvy and Reading paths based on choices made in earlier chapters. If you say yes to Livvy going to Ban Ardor, you will be on the Livvy path. If you said no, you will not be on the Livvy path. If you take Gwen to bed you will be on the Reading path which opens up scenes with Amara and several lewd chances with other women connected to Reading Keep and Gwen.

Made a number of grammar fixes.

Moved the potions Tome entry to Chapter One.

Made various other tweaks to images and the text.

This post will replace the dev post for this week.

Chapter Five has been started.

As always, I would greatly appreciate people wishlisting the game for me on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3965310/The_Lusanti_Chronicles/

Chapter 3 – v1.03a

This is not a new story content update. The update includes:

– New menus.

– New Mainmenu backgrounds.

– Adds path identifiers to the path start points with side girls like Livvy.

– Adds the Keepingwood path. A path connected to Gwen, Amara and several side LIs. If you spend the night with Gwen you will already be on this path so there is no need to replay the game.

– Removes the swirl and white flash screens from lewd scenes.

– Added some entries in the Tome and a page in the portraits in preparation for Chapter Four.

– Corrects the sayer bug from Chapter Two.

– Faces of Lydia image 6 should be unlock correctly now.

– Fixed the variable that caused Charlotte to repeat a line in Chapter Three.

– Corrects the Charlotte loophole in Chapter Three.

– Fixed 2 lines that had Livvy getting off at Ban Ardor when she was dropped off early. Those lines are now part of the livvy path

Chapter 3 – v1.03

– A remodelled Tome of Insight. It’s not where I want it, but it’s getting there.

– A remodelled Portrait Gallery. It’s not where I want it either, but it’s another step towards it.

– End of Chapter summaries which covers the LI points and if any of the 32 secrets have been discovered.

– 1200 new renders

I didn’t get to the lewd movie animations yet due to the amount of time I spent on the payment processor issue. I managed to get the issue before the minister at least. Hopefully, I can get to them this time around and get them into the lewds .

Chapter 2 – v1.02

There are more changes to ch1, but they shouldn’t effect ch1 post-patch saves. If you only have a pre-patch save then it probably won’t work due to large of number changes made in the patch. Now I have a team of testers this shouldn’t happen again.

Chapter two wraps up a lot of the world building and brings the MC and the main LI characters together.

I don’t know when the next update will be at this stage. I had wanted to work on the Main Menu pages and work on improving lewd scenes. With the Itch situation in limbo for now, I will have to see what I need to do to meet any new requirements and how long that takes to resolve.

I still haven’t decided if I will break the chapters up for more regular releases or if I will stay with full chapter releases.

Chapter 1 – v1.01

So far the patch will include:

– Several continuity issues fixed.

– Over 600 grammatical fixes. Mostly converting my terrible Australian to International English.

– Some edits to improve the flow of a couple of scenes.

– End screen fixed. Some incorrect renders like the end screen made it in to the final build these have been replaced and removed as needed.

– Most of the transitions screens have been removed.

– Text box opacity is now changeable.

– Portraits in game have been removed to the gallery only. I like them, but it seems most don’t. Some have been removed and additional images added. They will now be unlocked at different stages of the game and on different paths. Ch1 and Ch2 will include minis (mini stories) where the portrait series will tell a small story (without words)

– Tome of Insight has been expanded. Some entries will appear in the Tome from the start. Other entries will need to be unlocked until the player reaches the relevant part in the story. It should avoid spoilers and allow more detail in the Tome which some have asked for. Unfortunately, that will mean replaying ch1 to unlock them.

– Some variable changes

– Over 150 renders replaced, and added

– Changes to the GUI with a new main page and some font color changes.

– A map gallery has been added since the Main menu has been replaced with an animation.

– The lewd gallery is on hold for now.

– This is hopefully a one-off going forward. There are a couple of variable changes that will impact the game going forward. Between the variables and the persistent unlocks, I recommend replaying the game for best results, unfortunately. I will do my best that this doesn’t happen again going forward.
