As mentioned, I'm not taking a break between chapters this time, so I've just sent out 0.46.0 to patrons! I was really preoccupied with creating this update and didn't take screenshots, so there's just one this time:



This update kicks off the last chapter with some long-awaited skill updates, a dungeon, and some plot. This is a stopping point on the way to some bigger updates, so I figured I'd keep rolling with the momentum. Public update in a week!

The newest TLS update is incoming, but first something completely different. If you're looking for completely free content, everything that's been completed on one of my side projects is currently available on Newgrounds:
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/741269



This is me trying to do something (almost) completely different from everything I've done before. It's an anti-runner that tries to flip the usual formula, letting you control the obstacles to strike the running character. The storyline and characters are aiming for humor, as you'll see in the introduction.

Will this idea work? I can't say, but over the past while I've put together the first two worlds as a sample of the core gameplay loop. It contains four CGs, plus all the levels/dialogue. Please take a look and tell me what you think!

The Newgrounds link above will let you play everything that's been finished so far. If you want to follow the game's development, you can wishlist it on Steam here:

I just put out a big TLS update for patrons! This one takes the party back to Stineford, where much of the game began, but now the player is dealing with much bigger issues:


Not everything is as you remember, however. You've already seen Stineford change over time, and that will increase in the last chapter:


Look forward to going back to old locations and exploring them in a great level of depth, however:


Expect more on the party's core concerns as well:


This update also contains the longest sex scene in the game... several times longer than the previous record. It's as long as a short story, long enough that it might be a bad idea. =P Anyway, this update is bigger than average but can probably still go public in a week.

Version 0.48.0 is now out for patrons:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/33041399

Starting off the new year with a new update! This one continues to launch the final chapter with some major updates and a return to Eustrin. Not much else to say for now, but you can expect it in a week.

No preview images this update, as it has been an unusually busy day. But a new year is a good time to reconsider old habits, so I'm contemplating not including screenshots anymore. People seem to have shifted away from forums and I'm thinking that perhaps no one would really miss them. Speak up if you feel differently, though.

Check the blog for links, update notes, and everything else! By the way, more people on the various forums commented or messaged me about the screenshots, so I'll continue with them. ^-^

Version 0.49.0 is available to patrons, and it's a big one! I normally don't put update notes here, but I'll paste them in this case:
TLS 0.49.0
 - Complete world overhaul for Chapter 5.
 - Access to new nations: Erosia, Ghenalon, and Tatseni.
 - Up to three new harem members (depending on your decisions).
 - Several potential new staff members (heavily decision-dependent).
 - Seven new plot scenes, plus four new affection scenes.
 - Four new synergy skills.
 - Three new Orcent conversations/events.
 - Assorted minor retroactive changes. Yhilini civilians comment on the Thenoursan War, the monster patrol investment has some cosmetic NPCs, etc.

This is an open world segment that sends you all over the world, but it's not just (tons of) updated NPCs. For the first time in the game, you can freely visit Erosia, Ghenalon, and Tatseni. There are various quests and developments across the world as well:

Many plot threads are followed up, depending on your decisions so far. If you've made the right decisions, you might be able to add up to THREE harem members this time:

Transformations are a bit of a theme this time. Again, if you have the right stats, you can have some characters change in ways that will prove extremely consequential to the plot.

If you've been wondering when the party will finally take advantage of all those divine shards, that time is now. I've promised this decision several times, years and years ago on various forums. Well, you finally get to pick:

But I know that none of you really care about the plot, characters, or decisions. I know you're all here for hot, sexy bar conversations with Orcent, aren't you?

There are also investments, but I'll just leave the last word to Trin:

Because this update is huge and I intend to add additional content, it's going to spend two weeks in Patreon testing and improvement.

As a reminder, this update will still be patron-only until next weekend, though I've opened it up to all $1 patrons as a special bonus I sometimes do. The time has been spent not just on bugfixing, but on adding new content. For example, if you invested in the succubus bar earlier, you can now actually visit it and check in with the characters:


TLS 0.49.2
- Zirantian leaders now report on the state of their nation. This can potentially unlock the new Biyue scene.
- The Stineford succubus bar is now available if missed, and can be visited as a new map, but only going through the improved iterate event mentioned below.
- Min now appears in the Givino Vinai Court.
- Antarian now appears in Ardford Cathedral.
- Nabith now has a new conversation when first spoken to in Chapter 5 (with Yhilin Final).
- More variant dialogue has been added, notably in Ardford Business District and Orri's Restaurant.
- The physical condition of Ryoken now varies based on Erosia's country score.
- Retroactive: The Ramasta Unperson HQ now visually improves if Gawnfall helped the Unpeople.
- Lynine and Iris have conversations that increase their RP if you investigate their funded investments.
- Serious improvements have been made to the Chapter 5 iterate event, including more potential RP for Tertia.
- Quest objective bugs fixed (only if you repeat the events).
- The Duelist's Pin can now be enchanted in Ghenalon.
- The costs for a number of investments have decreased, some based on past decisions.
- Sublime equipment is in some cases more expensive, but overall buffed.
- Sublime equipment now has unique icons.
- Assorted minor changes, fixes, and improvements.

Public release this Friday!

A lot of people have more time on their hands lately, so the least I can do is offer something to take their minds off the seriousness for a bit. All my games are on deep discount on both Steam and itch.io:

Everyone stay healthy!

It's finally time for the art update! Version 0.50.0 adds 28 illustrated scenes to the game, which is every scene in Chapter 1. More info and links here:
https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com ... pdate.html

We have a variety of scenes, but I tried to spotlight what makes TLS unique:


Every scene in the first chapter is illustrated, even minor characters like the prostitutes:


If you've ever thought about starting a new save, this would be a good time. I wonder how many people missed this early Yarra/Trin scene?


Since this game will have hundreds of scenes, I decided that we want to have some real emotional and compositional variety, including a few clothed scenes when appropriate:

And I'll give Yarra the last word:


This update will go public in a week! Please look forward to it. ^-^

The art update is now public! You can download it here:

I figure there's no sense going on too long otherwise. ^-^ Hope you enjoy!

Version 0.51.0 is out for patrons! The update notes are huge this time, so I'll just link them:
https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com ... eased.html

The core of the new content isn't available to all saves, but if you've been working to free Eustrin, you can enter a new negotiation section. It's not Gawnfall, but it features characters old and new:


If that's successful, you'll unlock a final state for Eustrin. This includes lots of happy NPCs and... other things:


But that isn't all! I've mentioned that every harem member is getting their own unique sidequest, and two of those can now be completed:


One of those involves an event that has been requested for a long time, which I'll just hint:


This one should be public in a week. Meanwhile, I have something for those of you waiting! I'm participating in a big bundle of NSFW games that you can find here:
https://itch.io/b/500/lewd-nude-rude-co ... her-bundle

All of the games are 50% off or more, including a couple of mine. There's also a free (or pay what you want) tier, so this is a good opportunity to sample a whole bunch of games!
