For November 2024's Public Wallpapers we're doing for The Interim Domain what we did at the end of Now & Then's run: Showing off all the versions of our cast that made an appearance throughout the game. This month, we have Kaitlin (Interim, Ending, and Pregnant) and Tina (Interim, Made Up For a Date, Ending).

My favorite ending was with Poly, she went through so much to get to him, her story was very emotional, to me it was the best ending. To each their own

 

[JB08]

My save is missing, and I cant be bothered to replay everything from the start in some grindy slogfest so sadly I cannot finish this gem of a game. But I have been having fun reading about it and everyones experiences with it so I am content.

Bravo to ILS, especially for not abandoning the game when so many devs do so, and for not being discouraged by the initial negativity by people who couldnt not let go of his previous game to embrace his new project.

5/5

Cant wait to see ILS next project!

 

[PaxHadrian17]

How much content is available? I'm asking because the number of tags seemed quite low to me. I really enjoyed playing Now & Then, and I'd love to play another game from the same developer.

There is a ton of content.

If you check the gallery for scenes, there are more than 100 scenes in the gallery + the ending scene for each of the women.

I recommend using the walkthrough so that you can get the most out of your playthrough, including 3sums with a number of the women. If you play through most to all of the content with a woman, you may miss the 3sum with another woman since the conditions that are needed for the 3sum to occur will no longer be met, for example.

If you decide to play without the walkthrough, you can, OC, enjoy missing scenes (but out of context) using the unlock feature in the gallery.

I really enjoyed TID, and I think most will, especially if they enjoyed N&T.

Cheers!!

I think Robin didn't give me any Qi for finishing her route. I'm not 100% sure now but I was chatting with a friend in discord while cleaning up the routes and would type out my Qi totals to remember them and after doing Robin's chapter 24 and 25, it's the same total that I had beforehand.

The surest way to help prevent Bud from turning into a remnant is to use the walkthrough as a guide for the confrontations the MC must have with Bud re: his relationship with Sammy.

If you fail when responding to too many of those questions, Bud becomes a remnant - unable to overcome the baggage he entered TID with.

Cheers!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Americans. And all you non-Americans as well. There are enough good vibes going around that I feel I can share them with everyone. And here at ILS Productions, we're thankful for all the support and fans who've been following us for years. And all the new folks who just discovered us. Even that one guy who constantly complains about everything on social media, even though they keep playing month after month. You know who you are.
Well, it's time again to start talking about our new adventure, which will be released in December.
About TOXICity:

It rolled in slowly. In a town in its off-season, no one noticed when the city streets grew empty. No one thought twice about it when people called in sick. And then, while at work, John and his coworker, Kallie, witness an unusual fog surrounding their office. Cellphone service stopped. Phone lines went dead. Almost immediately, they lost contact with the outside world. When they went out to investigate, the fog burned their exposed skin and made them sick. Stranded, they have to find out what’s happening and how they might be rescued.

TOXICity is a character-focused, narrative-driven experience, smaller in scope that our previous efforts. After having to juggle a sizable cast for TID, we decided to go back to a handful of characters. This, hopefully, will produce a more intimate experience where you grow to learn about your fellow survivors throughout the story. Unlike N&T, these won't be people you already have a pre-established relationships with who are more prone to like you from day one. Sure, Laura and Kallie are coworkers and you know them as such, but you'll have to talk with them and consider their perspectives when making choices. You'll have to earn their trust because they have lives to return to if they survive their situation.
One of the main elements of TOXICity is a concept we call "micro-choices" where you can respond to conversations without it making huge changes to the scene. Instead of your comment triggering an alternative path, what you say will just be heard (and maybe briefly responded to). But, what you say will alter how your fellow survivors view you through one of five stats.
Love - A measure of the romantic feelings a character has for the Main Character. Raised by performing activities that involve intimacy or affection. Do you show kindness or care in a moment when they’re struggling? Or, do you blow them off?
Friend - A measure of your friendship with the other characters. Improving this will alter conversations and potentially unlock variations in scenes that might allow for romantic events.
Desire - Represents the sexual tension between characters. Even if they are not romantically involved, this stat might open up moments you normally wouldn’t see.
Trust - Does the character trust the Main Character’s decision-making ability? Can they be relied on to follow his lead? This is a modifying stat that can alter conversations and scenes.
Anxiety - Is the character stressed by the events that go on around them? Can the Main Character convince them that it’s all going to work out or they are safe in the meantime? This is a modifying stat that can alter conversations and scenes.
In terms of graphics engine for renders/animations, we are now using Honey Select 2 Studio. While I won't say we were experts with HS1, we were good enough to knock out 8-900 renders and 30+ animations in a month with it, so making the jump to a new program is going to take some time to learn. Sure they share a similar UI, but there's a fair number of plugins and mods that are different or don't exist in the new Studio, so we've had to figure out how to make the same experience through a different means. A bit of on-the-job training.
Also, for those who don't like to go in blind, for TOXICity, ILS Productions is producing an official walkthrough, which will be fleshed out more as we progress through the game.
Thanks for your interest and patronage,

I am beyond excited for this honestly. ILS so far has been top tier with their games.

I'm hoping for another update late this week and the first release of TOXICity around Dec 17th.

The dev is very dependable with monthly releases so this will be one of my 'go to' AVNs for something each month and a nice treat to help celebrate the year 2025 - one quarter of the way into the 'new' century.

Cheers!!

Asking for a bit of help if someone can set me straight.

1. Window title says "Complete". Is it really complete? Change log doesn't seem to indicate an "end".
2. Last version I played was 0.27.0 and this was the final screen (saved here) before "End of Content":


I downloaded 0.31.0 and I can see all my old saves when I fire it up. However when I load the up the 0.27.0 save it just gives me the same "end of content" when I try to go forward. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid but I'm hoping someone can give me a clue.

Thank you!

If you have played all the content except the final meeting, you should get this scene.

This choice takes you to the final Qi assessment.

Once you get through the final assessment of who has more Qi - you, Ifuma or Selene, you should get a screen that looks similar to this:

Spoiler: Spoiler - Based on LI choices made previously

If you do not see either of these two images, you might want to go to redownload v 0.31 and try your final v 0.27 saves or prior saves again.

FYI - sometime in 2025, the dev said that they will release another rev with more content - but think of it like the Director's Cut for Now & Then versus adding a lot of missing content.

V 0.31 is TID complete.

GL!

Cheers!!

 

[Witocaj]

This game is one of my favourites and is really well-made but goddamn am I annoyed that the Anya ending had her as a young alt-Kaitlin instead of being the same age she was in the Interim.

Also, anyone knows of any Apollyon fan sigs?

FYI - the last paragraph is TID focused and discusses v 0.99.0 - the final future release.

Dev Log - TOXICity, dated December 5, 2024




All right, so we're getting the first build ready to go. Gonna say that making a new build brought up things I forgot we customized in our previous titles, so there are more than a few items that we're having to update.

Including the prologue and Chapter One, 0.01.0 is very much an introductory experience that sets the mood and stakes. I'm sure a few of you will wait until we have more episodes out before diving in. But, in terms of this release, we have a functioning user interface. Sure there's some stuff we'll add later on (like the gallery mode), but this should mostly be ready to play.

Let me say that adding a new game to all our various locations, including social media, is a lot more work than I recall. It doesn't help so many of these websites have different specs for their banner artwork. But, by the time the public release is out, we should be good to go.

I know we may have mentioned it before, but TOXICity will feature an Achievement system. I shouldn't have to explain it any more than that. If you've played games on consoles or through Steam, you know what to expect: Do a thing, get an Achievement/Trophy. Though, for TOXICity, each Achievement comes with a pinup. So, much like TID's selfie gallery, this is a "gotta unlock them all" with a reward.

On the topic of The Interim Domain: I guess it has to be said, since we've been getting some questions about it, but the 0.99.0 build for TID will be some time away. The new ending wasn't part of the original plan document, so there's a fair bit to write/render/code. While the new ending will take content from many of the other endings, there's a fair bit of new story to be done, including a bunch of new scenes not already in the game.

Thanks for your interest and your patronage,
