Progress 17.03.2025 and Changelog for ToaM 0.36.0
Hello all!
Monday and a release day. Hooray. I think. So how are things otherwise?
Well started rendering 0.37.0 as scheduled, almost. Just doing the release post takes time away from it, but I'm not too concerned about it yet. There are some set building ahead, and, two large scenes that probably take time, but that's something to worry about then.
Writing also moved onto 0.41.0. Weekend as alright for the writing overall, nothing too distracting or anything else just need to be careful not to open up new plot threads right now as there isn't necessarily time to close them properly. So it gets slightly frustrating at times to ensure a certain length while needing to wait "people to do their thing". But overall I'm happy with it. And avoiding spoilers... I'll give a motivational render. I will resume the previews on Friday as no longer in the spoiler territory.
I've noticed a shift in how I do these. ToaM is character locked, and the things I like to do are... either not suitable for public posts or they are just too much of a spoiler. But in the end, the point of the test and these "motivational" renders is just to have fun, and giving that creative outlet to do something different after a long project. This though? Well, let's say it's nice to see old friends again after several years. Anyway, to the interesting stuff...

Love ToaM, but cant wait for Sorcerer 2, replayed it a couple of weeks ago. :) :)
Hey, I'm currently replaying TRS2 and I'm still stuck on one question. How did you make an entire star system disappear? I don't know your plans for TRS3, but I would be happy if the Zelnall could show up there and give this answer.
It kind of depends. Obviously, the easiest way is to destroy everything. Some species does have the technology and required power to do so. Second this is more navigational thing, erase it from the navigational charts and corrupt the coordinates to reroute somewhere else (aka navigation software/hardware manipulation). That is highly unlikely, but plausible if multiple species relies the same charts, software and hardware. For the current known species a lot of the charts (and navigational tech) is based on Kraed, Elai, Ot'ai and Maevaar things. It is relatively easy to mess with them, especially if it happens early on of the development. And of course simply corrupting the species records, and when they share the navigational charts to their allies they get "false" information. Third, is enough psionic strength (lot of psionically strong species out there) and affect the minds of anyone enters the system so their perception and memories of the said system is altered. Also high tech version of that is planetary wide stealth/invisiblity generator. Then just good old lying about the actual location, then causing "mysterious deaths" to the few who would explore etc. in combination of the second and third method. Eventually people will stop looking and just mark it as "lost"
The Sorcerer gang! Oh, we miss them! 🥰
Sorcerer sequel mentioned 🥳
would love a sequel especially since there was supposed to be lots of threats and difficulties for new houses also all of the growing the house/family.
soooo maybe sorcerer 2 is next? :)
Hmm something ate the reply or it went into completely wrong place. But yes, that's the plan...
Thank you for the update. Love the rendering above.
I love it too. I think he raided my garage for that pic 🏍️ 😄.
