New Game Minus #3
One last finished reward as I turn my attention to TLS: the final book in my LitRPG trilogy is now complete. Please enjoy the draft of NGM3 at this link:https://mega.nz/#!P1EnnQIL!gLvcwBRCSSVabADd6iSbYWDhpcKXkHJLDWTzC5-hGu4I linked it in PDF, mobi, and epub formats. The formatting on some of those m...
Don't Save the Princess Beta
Well, I got the build unexpectedly early, so... we're doing this now, I guess. This is a new version of Don't Save the Princess for everyone to try out before we show it publicly.PC: https://mega.nz/#!O4NHiCRT!6R0k0aniuS4WsKeu7dP_0N6T9BgIsvyJvWwqGykPieoMac: https://mega.nz/#!r98y2KZY!XMMvpBl...
April 14 Update
We have another piece of fanart! This one is a younger Megail in a rare relaxed moment. ^-^There's still some pending stuff I want to show patrons, but it isn't ready. I'm also having trouble with artists for the NGM#3 cover and I'm irritated that things aren't going more smoothl...
April 7 Update
Hey, everybody! To start us off, we have a fun piece of fanart commissioned by Argo the Ratfolk (here is the artist's site: https://furantan.tumblr.com/ ). That's Yarra with Albedo from Overlord - for the record, Yarra is definitely up for helping out all characters with their relationships....
Art for TLS: Thoughts and Questions
Alright, everybody, this is the post where we talk about art and TLS. It involves some pretty major decisions, so this would be a great time to give your input. I'll reference it again, but see above for another scene from Annikath, this time directly from the game.Core QuestionsDo we want TLS t...
Novel: Ironside
Since several of you expressed interest, here it is! Ironside is a standalone fantasy novel, available in the usual PDF/epub/mobi formats:https://mega.nz/#!69MCGQyL!J0nxPPFQNX9-daQzM3BdBxphtwDqlrZqF-JbrHAOthMOne key note: this novel was an attempt to write in the grimdark subgenre. It's a crapsa...
March 31 Update
March is over and it didn't go as well as I wanted. =/ Basically, I recognized that I was going to have trouble with the next TLS update, so I decided that I would take a month to clear my plate of everything else while I improved the update's plans. But though I did a bunch of work, it wasn...
March 24 Update
Over the past week I've been spending a lot of time thinking about TLS art. If you didn't see the $5 thread you might be missing some context, but I wanted everyone to see the above. The picture for this post is the first one Annikath did where I actually commissioned it and was involved in ...
March 17 Update
So much stuff going on right now!The thread about a potential artist for TLS has been one of the busiest in recent memory. It's nice to hear from some of you who don't regularly comment. ^-^ In any case, nothing is decided yet and you will be seeing some new art from this artist in the futur...
Once Ever After Beta Testing #2
Update: I'm making a new version because there are some players starting the game for the first time and it makes sense that they should play a version with tons of things smoothed out. It doesn't have substantial new content and it's not worth replaying - though the last Ulfina scene is...
TLS Art Question
Serious decision time! Normally these threads are for $10+ patrons, but given how important this one is to the development of TLS, I decided that even the initial question should go out to a larger audience.I don't want to over-hype this, since it might come to nothing, so let me start by saying...
March 10 Update
Work on OEA continues, but I don't intend to talk about that much right now. Instead, we have a couple of fun things and then some serious talk about TLS.First, note the comic above! This is just something silly that a fan sent me this week, so I hope you enjoy. ^-^Second, it's time to give ...
Desecration of Wings Art Package
This has been a long time coming solely because I've been busy with other stuff. But now, with no further ado, here are the full resolution art assets for Desecration of Wings:https://mega.nz/#!7xEATAKI!vOjo8h4JCpUDfHD6XOtiHV2Re18dG-NXnMWlCZZTMr8DoW was my most expensive game until being surpass...
March 3 Update
The first build of Once Ever After is up for $10 patrons right now! Since this is a larger chunk of gameplay than usual, the process isn't moving as quickly, so I'm not sure exactly how it will go. People will keep giving feedback, I'll keep working on it, and hopefully in the end this w...
Once Ever After Beta Testing
Okay, it's time! There are several parts to this post. First, I'll be providing a download link for Once Ever After:PC: https://mega.nz/#!r88VCYpQ!vbKFcmrfPwPUxrq0rLSWCR61Th5rAkmemJUuIds-ffwMac: https://mega.nz/#!6s8F0CqY!y2tQ37MNLIySJTO-wNnjYc27Cy7JBEjQV9pLqurJJfUNOTE: This is still version...
February 24 Update
The good news: Lots of new people are playing TLS! According to the metrics, a ton of hours are being poured into the game on Steam, and a decent number of people seem to be finding the game for the first time. If that's you, hello! ^-^The less good news: There are more questions and comments, I...
Writing Developments
So far this year, I've done a good job focusing on the things that matter to me. Though it'd be premature to call the new habits a success, I think it's been positive for both my happiness and my productivity. However, it does lead to a variety of thoughts, so you're going to get tho...
February 17 Update
Whew... this week was a busy one! Released the NGM audiobook, started publishing a serialized novel, and finally launched TLS on Steam. Doing this much stuff usually disrupts creative work, so I tried something different this time by editing between those tasks. It seemed to work well.The story on R...
Steam Release + Serialized Novel
Originally I was going to post these separately, but the approval processes messed up my timing. So anyway, this post is about two separate things happening.TLS is on SteamFinally!Link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/951830/The_Last_Sovereign/If you have an account you're willing to associat...
Audible Release + Title Thoughts
You're getting a post outside the normal ones because I just found out that Audible finally approved my audiobook! Check it out here:https://www.audible.com/pd/B07NGLGK9W/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-142473&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_142473_rh_usIt's improbable, but if anyone has never us...
February 10 Update
Lately I've been feeling like there's just so much stuff ready for you guys to see, but I want to release it at a reasonable rate instead of sending it out in a barrage. It feels uncomfortable to be holding back so much prepared content, but I guess I did just put out a public release two da...
TLS 0.41.4 Public Release + SubscribeStar
New TLS update, just the tweaks and errors we discussed:https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2019/02/tls-0414-public-release.htmlBigger news is that I finally got an alternate account for those who have requested it. I'm not sure how to contact the backers who left Patreon, but here is my ref...
Good Problems To Have
Time for a long post about writing! I'm trying to weigh a lot of ambiguous things at the moment, but I'll try to describe them in a clear manner. If you aren't interested in my writing concerns but do want to help name an upcoming project, scroll to the last section after the fancy pictu...
February 3 Update
Marketing lead to reading industry articles and even having some direct conversations with publishing professionals. It was all very informative and I'm really glad for some of the contacts, but the executive summary is "The publishing industry is depressing."I got a chance to exchange s...
New Game Minus #2 Official Release
The second book in the series is officially released! After a somewhat shaky start, it appears to be in the correct genres with the correct metadata. A second release is trickier, because some of your interest is drained into the first book, but I'm crossing my fingers that it goes well.So if yo...
January 27 Update
The new TLS update seems to be going pretty well. I'll be uploading version 0.41.2 after I get a few more feedback reports. My plan is to use a new Patreon feature that will theoretically notify you guys when I update the old post, so keep an eye out for that.Meanwhile, I've submitted the St...
TLS 0.41.0 Released
UPDATE (Feb 6): Version 0.41.3 is up, see links and change notes. Also, because the Lunar New Year sale on Steam is getting so much attention, I'm thinking of delaying the Steam release a bit. Not the normal public release, though.New version time! I hope this one doesn't have much in the wa...
January 20 Update
I am fairly hopeful that TLS 0.41.0 will be out on Friday. Right now all the essential content is added, but there's a lot of optional stuff I'd like to include, and noneof it is edited. So the final version may have some rough edges, but I'd very much like to get the release out then. I...
January 13 Update
So... originally I was going to release a side project today, but I think I'm going to delay it. Not because it isn't finished, but because I think it might be better for development overall.I've been working on stuff in the background for a while and my original plan was to send it out ...

It's time for one of the important developments for 2019, so please take a moment to read and vote in the poll!IntroductionSince half of my development time recently opened up and I have finished my initial objectives for novels, I am considering starting a new game project.
