Links at post:https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2023/12/tls-0722-public-release.htmlTLS 0.72.2 [12/15/23]- New Orcent assets thanks to Lamsey and Annikath.- Even MORE Orcent variant dialogue.- Clarified that Megail's quest also resets research.- Duplicate equipment bug fixed.- Assorted bug...
December 9 Update
TLS 0.72.1 is out and apparently stable, so there should be no trouble with the public release. A less rushed schedule means extra thinking time, so it's time to contemplate the future and ramble. Posting the weekly update early because I'm trying to get my head on straight.While I'm exc...
TLS 0.72.1 Release
Opening this one to $1 backers! Consider it an early Christmas present. ^-^ Hopefully this longer release period will work even for the busier players and result in a completely stable build over the holidays.Link: https://mega.nz/file/z5sUnKCb#qjlsu1R1UNPyG1tr0jPBdLMkNWZSucWwdiRVfrhY-rYRTP: https:/...
December 3 Update
Hmm, slow feedback this time. Maybe too close to the holidays? Anyway, I'm on top of all simple bug reports (fortunately not many), but haven't finished all the feedback requesting or suggesting entirely new content. Considering more feedback is expected, TLS 0.72.1 will likely be a little l...
TLS 0.72.0 Release
I almost stumbled at the finish line, guys. Usually the rush of finishing up a release will carry me, but I'm not feeling 100% for some reason. The majority of the work was done under great conditions, I just hope I didn't bungle in some bugs right at the end.Link: https://mega.nz/file/W0l3A...
TLS Art Preview #40
Wow, is this really the fortieth of these? Dang. Anyway, we have a cuddly selection of scenes from Chapter 4 this week. ^-^ Fortunately these are done in time to appear in the coming update so it will have some art.Too busy to have much to say about these three. Hope everyone enjoys them!
November 26 Update
Hey, hope everyone has had a good holiday season if you celebrate. I usually keep these holiday posts short, but I have good news: there should be a TLS update coming out next weekend.Traditionally, I've often wanted to get out an end of year update, but it's been a challenge. Putting out co...
November 19 Update
Before we get into these busy days, we have another Mestan comic from Argo the Ratfolk! These are all being added to the image pack, with more variants, but I haven't uploaded the new pack yet. Anyway, other stuff: I have another audiobook out to follow on the coattails of the omnibus I just rel...
November 12 Update
Two fun fan things this week! Behold both above and below: Grim8P has produced an "Advanced Combat Mechanics" quiz for TLS! It's pretty hard, I only got 83% right. T-T Try it out if you think you're an expert, or if you just want to learn more about the background mechanics (answers ...
TLS 0.71.1 Public Release
New public update:https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2023/11/tls-0711-public-release.htmlI'm making progress, trying to stay focused, so keeping this short.
November 5 Update
It's a blobfish week, guys. Flopping around decompressed, sort of getting stuff done: The mini-update is out and nobody has told me it's a broken mess yet. Hopefully this will be a smooth step toward the next one. The omnibus you see above is out on Audible and Amazon. If anyone has been wan...
TLS Mini-Release
Don't get too excited: this is just a small but necessary step forward, not a major content release. Skip unless you were being annoyed by one of the bugs, want to look at the new script, or want to see the new illustrated scenes.Link: https://mega.nz/file/GkE1UaRL#CLxf_ORM0LHJqLJpWxgztAIeHsR2O1...
TLS Art Preview #39
Small but complex set this time: Hilstara x Yarra, then two different CGs for the Victory Orgy. The plan was to add anything else forgotten in Chapter 3, but apparently I didn't forget anything for once. Because the Victory Orgy is such a complex scene, we decided that it should primarily focus ...
October 29 Update
We begin with another meme spontaneously created by Annikath! If you didn't see, on her own Discord she counted which TLS characters have the highest amount of art. Though Yarra has the most scenes currently in-game, Qum came in first due to the sheer amount of fanart. ^-^ If you use Discord, yo...
October 22 Update
We begin with another comic from Argo the Ratfolk, this one a crossover with Baldur's Gate 3. Another game that I hope to play in some imaginary future where I have more time. Anyway, hope you enjoy the puppies. ^-^The TLS update is out, mostly stable but with a trivial bug that will be a proble...
TLS 0.70.2 Public Update
Usually I do these posts without a picture, but what the heck, I'll throw in the promo image for Steam. They have to be SFW, but Annikath has put together various teasing images. I don't know if they get anyone into the game, but at least they make the updates page prettier.Anyway, new updat...
October 15 Update
Busy days, busy post. First we have a meme from Annikath. On Twitter a confused commenter asked what was happening and she explained, "She is getting fucked as a symbol of liberation for her people!" It pleases me that TLS produces sentences like this. ^-^Anyway, TLS 0.70.0 is out for $5 pat...
TLS 0.70.0 Released
EDIT: Version 0.70.1 now available!- A new script has added a VN-style backlog that will show you previous dialogue. It is activated via the D key.- The boss in Sarai's quest has been toned down, so please try again if you found it frustrating the first time.- Riala's quest now ends with her...
TLS Art Preview #38
Every one of these posts contains a lovely bunch of new art, but for this one I also have a request. We have come very near finishing another chapter of the game, which also means finishing another phase of art. Time to check in and make sure I haven't made oversights.But first, the newest set! ...
October 8 Update
Big announcement today, but first look above. TLS has nearly 500 reviews on Steam, which is a significant threshold. If it can get five more reviews (that aren't all negative) then the overall rating will change to "Overwhelmingly Positive". This may attract more players, but it will als...
October 1 Update
More fanart again! This time we have Sho, Robin... and Robin. ^-^ This is more lovely work courtesy of patron genericname12345.As for TLS: Stineford's reworking will have to wait, there's progress to be made! I have finally gotten in gear and, as usual, discovered that I have finished more p...
September 24 Update
This week started average and then took a sharp turn. I guess I'll take things in chronological order.When I took on various additional tasks, I hoped that they would push me into gear and feared they would distract me. Instead... they just didn't take that much time. For example, I've b...
September 17 Update
We're bearing down on the final checkmarks on the roadmap and so I wanted to talk about them. I actually group them into several different categories, some of which are clearer in my mind and some of which are still "unsolved" in my head to some degree. I don't want to mention exactl...
TLS 0.69.2 Public Release
Internet whyyyy. >_< I decided to give up on Mediafire and Steam for now, because I do have the main two links for everyone:https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2023/09/tls-0692-public-release.htmlHopefully everything will get sorted out later and I will also push my way through the promotional j...
September 10 Update
Originally I was going to finish an essay about game design, but it started feeling like work instead of a fun way to procrastinate from work, and I think we all agree it would be better to spend work energy on actual work.I'd describe this week as being the protagonist of an old martial arts mo...
TLS 0.69.1
New build of version 70! Usually .1 builds are boring, but this one has quite a bit of added content that might interest you, specifically in Orilise's quest.Link: https://mega.nz/file/H9NABCqC#v5vQsdTXDtHlGJGpxwhippZg-czhAu_gBg-a84dkBRkTLS 0.69.1- Substantial content added to Orilise's ques...
September 3 Update
Hey folks. I disappeared because my internet just up and died; the ISP has been getting worse lately, but I didn't expect it to be down for so long. This sucks in general, and doubly sucks because I've gotten messages from people worried that there's another reason.Nope! I am just unable...
TLS 0.69.0
Hello, everyone, it's time for TLS 0.70.0! Which is definitely the next version of TLS!No, seriously, while I personally think it would be extremely funny to skip over version 69 without comment, I decided not to. Make all the "nice" jokes you want. =P I hope it's a nice update.Link:...
August 27 Update
I had a whole abstract post in mind about quest design in games, but I guess I'll save time not writing it, because there's hopefully an update coming.I hesitate to call it a monster update, because over the years the standards for those have risen quite high, but it's a substantial one....
August 20 Update
Misc info before the main update: We have finally concluded a massive run of fan-created memes, fanart, and other fun stuff! I'm capping things off with another comic from me. ^-^This took place just after the conclusion of the Third Arclentian War. People were more positive than I expected abou...
