Progress 08.07.2024
Hello all!
Well, this post is a bit later than I wanted it to happen, but I'm not complaining. Anniversary, huh? Countless hours, frustrating moments, moments of joy, moments of when I almost rage quit, but at the end of it all, it has been worth it.
So where to begin... Okay, rendering of 0.19.0 has begun. Shocking, I know. And writing of 23 has also begun. Truthfully, there isn't that much to tell, but it's on par with every other progress post so. And then there is the 0.18.0 release date... it will be today. I'll compile the change log and the release post after this. And then a punch of renders... I'll return to actual "in game" renders on Friday, no huge spoilers then.
Three settings, three protagonists... for now at least. Chiel and Garrett will always be my favourites for many reasons, that doesn't mean I don't like the others any less. Just those two have that special space in my heart.
Tomas and Nisha. While I thought a lot of different familiars, this pairing felt the most natural. Nisha can't talk and yet there is that dynamic between these two that just works.
Well, Tamara and Maria, two sides of the same coin, and despite of that, they do have similar goals. Not much more to say about this, really. Except it took way too long to render than I liked...
And then the space explorers. This is more of an idle thought of Qivian wanting to go see a few places. Sort of continuing the last time. When I started doing TRS1, I briefly considered another story that I've written. But I changed to it to what TRS1 was. The first indented story was more space exploration, but I quickly realised that at the time, I didn't have resources or the necessary skills to pull it off. In the end, it was the right choice. Had I've done the original plan, I wouldn't be here doing this most likely.
And now, I want to thank all of you. Thank you for being fans of these works I've done. It has been an honour.

You are definitely one of the best, most consistant developers at the moment. And that is both impressive and praiseworthy. Long may you continue to find enjoyment in what you do. As for favourite characters, I think I came across Sorceror before TRS and I've always leaned more towards fantasy than space anyway, so my preference would be Sorceror then TOAM, then TRS. They are all enjoyable though. So thank you. Seriously. Its always a better day when I get to read a new release from you.
i love your stories and i wouldent want to miss any all the stories has its strong points and weak points but they are all great and if you keep it up we can make a movie soon ;)
You are always my favorite Developer man. 🤩 Can't wait to see what you bring to us in the future! 👍
Sorry dropped keyboard. To finish the above I saw TRS1 on that site and downloaded it. I agree if you had gone the other way it might not been as interesting. I played it between Sorcerer updates. That's when I decided to support you. I could see a little bit of TRS1 in Sorcerer and a little bit of Sorcerer in TRS2. I'm downloading ToaM as I'm writing this. I can't wait to see what you have instore for us in the future. Thank You.
To be fair here. Since TRS1 was released as completed it only had short period time in the lime light on that site so to say so easy to miss unless you happened to check on that specific time window it was in the front page.
Happy Anniversary! I had missed TRS1 but I downloaded Sorcerer first. Then I saw a render of Garrett and Chiel on Susan's TV then checked Where I got Sorcerer
Nice
Thank you for all the great stories, I look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future.
Oh man....this got me a little emotional! :) I share your favs of your protagonists btw ;)
