April 26 Update
This week I experimented with working on whatever I felt like. Rather than try to pull this into a focused post, I'll just list all the different things I did.TLS 0.51.0 Design: I reviewed notes and did some prep. Now I have a pretty clear idea what main/side content the update will cover. This ...
April 19 Update
It is almost, almost time for a clearer schedule. First, two items that may be of interest to you:1) TLS is on itch.ioI hadn't realized there was any activity for free games on itch.io, but I've finally put TLS there now. Also, did you know that you can rate games there? I honestly didn'...

April 12 Update: One More Book Launch Edition
Lots of stuff happening. $5 patrons are playing the newest version of the game complete with the full art. $10 patrons just got the first ever art package (all scenes at full resolution plus maps/fanart/etc). This is also your notification that I just updated that post with a new version, now with 2...
The TLS Art Pack
This is an unusual time for a post, but what the heck. I've promised several people that patrons would get access to higher resolution versions of all the scene images, and now is the time where I make good on that promise. This post will be the permanent repository for the big art pack, which h...
TLS 0.50.0 Released! Chapter 1 Art Update!
Release time, everybody! I thought about pushing this to next week, but I'd prefer not to delay TLS releases any longer.Link: https://mega.nz/file/T4cTgY4C#2pyvpnQTruJBjr0Nmez0U-nq3sZjMQ9DLDwOj16B4MQRTP: https://mega.nz/file/v40AjCbQ#J60h6jPk2jp96_7c7eL1zcm9owpQl10VjJm5cd0cnAsTLS 0.50.0- Grand a...
April 5 Update
Buckle up, this is a big post with a lot going on! It won't all be relevant to everyone, but please check for the parts that are relevant to you.Fanart: The image for this post was drawn by Annikath, not as a commission, just as fanart she wanted to do. Qum is having a good time. ^-^TLS Art Upda...
Finished Scene Art Set #7: Last Set + Prologue
Guys, this is the last set for Chapter 1! Unless something has been entirely forgotten, we finally have everything, which means that the official art version can happen soon. More info on that in the weekly update.Meanwhile, some notes on this set. Most of these are the first affection scenes for th...
March 29 Update
Momentum! Momentum is precious. I feel so much better on a day-to-day basis when I'm enjoying my work and making significant progress. ^-^ I hope everyone is managing with the world's current difficulties. I'm getting closer to finishing two things, one of which will come sooner and the ...
March 22 Update
There are more important things going on in the world than my work, but since this is an update on that: this week sucked, creatively. I put in long hours and worked hard, but I just didn't make progress like I'd wanted because things kept coming up.For example, Crescentia went all in on wor...
Quarantine Sale
Current events are hitting some people hard, in varying ways. Some are trapped at home more than usual, while others have messaged me to say they need to pull their patronage to get through. I absolutely want everyone to prioritize what matters most in life! I'll still be here, working away at m...
March 15 Update: NGM Boxset Release
Promotion is the worst. -_- It's just soul-draining for me, even when it's successful. Yesterday wasn't even effective, as my map post didn't really catch on:https://old.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/comments/fio9k0/the_chorhan_expanse_one_region_x_three_cultures/Click through if you wa...
Finished Scene Art Set #6
A set of four finished scenes, plus Riala's character sheet, plus a bonus lingerie version. The Aka scene was redone because it was drawn before we did all our style testing and it didn't fit the coloring style of the rest.We're getting pretty close to the art release. Only affection sce...
March 8 Update: TBS Release
Unusual post this week! I hope I can ask your attention for something a little outside the ordinary.Normally I try not to ask you guys for much extra, because your support already forms the bedrock of my career. I'm grateful to all of you who go the extra mile writing reviews or recommending my ...
TLS 0.49.4 Public Release
Notes and links on the blog:https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2020/03/tls-0494.htmlI post these because some people use them for notifications, but I don't have a lot to say. I've been pretty busy stretched between polishing this up and some other fun stuff, which I will be talking abo...
March 1 Update
As we enter March, I feel like 2020 has gotten off to a good start. I had to push a little too hard, but I feel positive about what I did in updates 48 and 49, so I'm glad that they've been well-received. The public release of TLS 0.49.x will still be next weekend, but overall we enter into ...
TLS 0.49.2
UPDATE: I hope the version linked below is very nearly the public release, but I decided to let everyone try it early if they wanted.The previous thread has over 300 comments, so I thought it might be better to start with a clean slate. While it's possible that I introduced new bugs to this vers...
TLS 0.49.0 Released!
(Updated: No separate weekly update, since I don't really have anything new to say. Version 0.49.2 should hopefully come out a while later, including new content.)New version is here!0.49.1 Link: https://mega.nz/#!z98XQZaT!1dMNmgXdcffZK5UWfS6mw3tHeVWLMlnYw8TnAVpf6XcTLS 0.49.1- This is an awkward...
February 16 Update
Though I never thought it was a realistic deadline, I've wished I could release TLS 0.49.0 this weekend. The timing of everything would have been very convenient, positioning TLS perfectly on the sides of book releases and other things. Plus, between phases I could do my taxes and other things I...
February 9 Update
Everybody who didn't see the previous update: I'm fine! My furnace got fixed almost immediately on Monday, so I had a warm week. More importantly, I had an enjoyably productive week.Building momentum on these broad updates can be difficult. I could write a huge amount of new NPC dialogue in ...
February 2 Update
It's so freaking cold. My furnace went out, but when the repairman came, he needed to leave to get a part. Then it was fixed for a day, but failed over night, so he had to come back, then get another part. They don't work on the weekend, so... my poor icicle fingers. T-T The upside is that m...
Finished Scene Art Set: Stineford Edition
Generally fewer people are on at this hour, but my furnace is busted and it's freezing cold and so my schedule is off anyway. Might as well post for all the people in different time zones.I considered naming this one "Prostitute Edition" but you never know when Patreon will change its mi...
January 26 Update
It's been a while since we've done an update that was just focused on a single aspect of development. Since one of the things I did last week is suited to that, we'll do it.Yhilin has updated less frequently than some other locations for a single reason: the fact that the player can cont...
January 19 Update
I think 2020 has gotten off to a good start, but unfortunately I've had to spend some time lately on promotional junk. Hopefully that's almost over and I can focus on creative work. In theory I should be able to devote over a solid month to that work before there will be a wave of releases.M...
TLS 0.48.2 Public Release
New update and notes available on the blog:http://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2020/01/tls-0482-public-release.htmlMore to say on Sunday.
January 12 Update
I'm pleased that players liked the first update of the year, especially the plot revelations. ^-^ The optional fights seem to need some tuning, but I hope we'll move toward a smooth public release.I'm on top of bug reports, but not sure when I'll put out version 0.48.1. Maybe later i...

2019 in Review
Time for another yearly review, looking back on what was done and forward to what comes next. Overall, 2019 was a year of experimentation for me. Some time was wasted on dead ends, and I regret that, but overall I felt the year was very helpful for me.ReflectionsTLS Progress: Last year we finally wr...
December 29 Update
For the past two years, I've done darker reviews for my last update of the year, laying out negative issues in order to start the new year fresh. This year, I find that is no longer necessary. Please look forward to my yearly reflection and a TLS update in early January.I am happily working away...
December 22 Update
This weekend would have been the one where I would have tried to rush out a TLS update. I really appreciate everyone's patience in letting me have better work/life balance, as I feel better having cleared so much from my plate. $10 patrons just got a whole bundle of different things.With those d...
