Happy anniversary! Hard to believe it's already been a year since this site launched and public development began on Tuttle's Legendary Travels. Though the past few months have been a bit slow we feel it's been a pretty exciting and successful first year for the project- and it's certainly been loads of fun. Here's hoping TLT's second year will turn out even better than its first!

Not only was the project officially launched a year ago today, but we also revealed that Sensei Haruki Suetsugu's heroine design from MML3's development would be a major player in Tuttle's Legendary Travels. Despite the popularity of this decision we still have yet to reveal anything about who she is or what she does in the game, so in honor of TLT's first anniversary we decided it was high time to do so. Read on to learn more about this important character!

Lilly is an up-and-coming journalist, always on the go, always looking for the next scoop. She and Tuttle will first cross paths at City Hall. He'll inevitably find his way there to purchase a Digger's License for the Quint Islands, while she will be there waiting for an interview with the mayor. She's lost something important, but can't leave to look for it or she might lose her opportunity. Tuttle will find and return the item to her, thus initializing their friendship.

Upon learning of Tuttle's purpose for visiting the Quint Islands she will take a great interest in the potential stories that could surface from his adventures, especially with his advanced knowledge of the pirates' intentions. In return, she has a lot to offer him as someone very knowledgeable about the region, so the two will form a partnership for the duration of the game.

Lilly's way of supporting Tuttle will not be that of a spotter on digs, but one who supplies Tuttle with important information about the going-ons in the Quint Islands, keeping in touch via walkie-talkie. Likewise, Tuttle will be able to get in touch with her for advice or general conversation, comparable to Data's "Tell me..." option. If Tuttle should happen to check the newsstands, he may on occasion find the young journalist's take on his adventures, similar to Roll's diary in Legends 2.


That's it for now. Again, happy anniversary! We hope you'll look forward to what this next year brings!
