The Last Sovereign News

[p]There's a new public update! More info available here:
https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2025/10/tls-0812-public-release.html [/p][p][/p][p]This update includes a sweeping set of fixes clearing out my list of QoL and other improvements. Full info in the version history page on the blog.[/p][p]If you have a Steam account, please consider leaving a review to help prepare the game for the big launch, as this will be a major chance for new players to find the game. I hear from some people who say they'll only review complete games as a matter of principle... if that applies to you, think about what you want to write, because TLS will be leaving Early Access soon![/p][p]Of course I'll fix any reported bugs, and Annikath will continue illustrating scenes, but otherwise we should have a smooth path to the big release. Now it's more about timing and launching when I can support the release than any obstacles in development.[/p]

These will never be optimal, but should make the investment system a bit more forgiving.[/p][p]- Ledger and investment returns windows have been overhauled, with fancier formatting and investments divided into tabs by location. No balance changes.[/p][p]- When considering an investment, an additional window will pop up giving Megail's thoughts and other information.[/p][p]- Three characters got new portrait/dialogue images to better match the art overall: Elleani, Tertia, and topless Simon.[/p][p]- Various random mobs have small amounts of added dialogue.[/p][p]- Two additional illustrations in the intro sequence.[/p][p]- The prologue now grants a book that can serve as a tutorial for players new to RPGs.[/p][p]- The first visit to the Stineford region has some added dialogue for Hilstara and Robin.[/p][p]- Tweaks to events in Stineford, encouraging player to talk to Megail first.[/p][p]- Additional dialogue upon completion of the spider house in Stineford.[/p][p]- Chapter 2 roam has been modified so that the player cannot miss Withered Mountain.[/p][p]- Hiring mercenaries has been tweaked: rewards for multiple companies increased, upkeep costs reduced, personal discretionary penalty removed.[/p][p]- During Yarra's Route, there are new options for the Orc Council and Ogre scenes.[/p][p]- A few characters from Dari's quest make earlier cameos in Ardford.[/p][p]- Similarly, Melymn appears inaccessibly in Theltiar.[/p][p]- Some conversations before the final battle have been tweaked or extended.[/p][p]- Grynyth "Play" placeholder removed for now.[/p][p]- Lilith has an additional conversation variant.[/p][p]- One new bust image: Luanell now has a unique sprite/face/bust compared to other Givini women.[/p][p]- Error with Sho's battle images fixed, adding a new battle pose.[/p][p]- Graphical tweaks to OE succubus children and one of Lynine's assistants.[/p][p]- The base "map" tiles on the walls have been modified from a general map to the TLS continents.[/p][p]- Revised scene art: Tertia TF[/p][p]- New illustrated scenes: Carina + Yarra, Gawnfall O**y, Sarai's First Time, Yarra Teasing, Riala Prologue, Final Pan Out[/p][p][/p][p]After all that, I don't have a lot to add!

It's finally time to release the postgame to everyone! It started out with quite a bit of content, and I added more based on suggestions from supporters, so there's a lot for everyone to enjoy. ^-^ One final run around the world you created, then the credits roll...[/p][p]I wish I could just bask in having reached this point, but unfortunately as many of you may already know, there's some trouble with payment processors lately. This probably isn't the best space to discuss that, but click through to the blog for more information.[/p]

TLS 0.80.0[/p][p] - The world has been fully updated for the postgame. This is the last major content update![/p][p] - The SFW toggle has been fixed and restored, giving you the option to pixelate all NSFW images, including sprites, portraits, and battlers.[/p][p] - All remaining battle busts are complete: Sho, Antarion, Doom King (two versions!), Prison Simon, Orcent, Impaler, Grubbak, Implevon, Ralke, Balia's quest orcs (x4)[/p][p] - 16 new sex scenes[/p][p] - 4 new illustrated scenes: Yarra + Fuani, Orilise + Lynine, Reunited, and Wendis + Wynn[/p][p][/p][p]This was a beast of an update, and it's going to be a beast to finish as well. We're going to handle this like the final battle: the update will remain supporter-only for an unknown amount of time. Not solely for bugfixing, but also because I will be taking suggestions from players for adding even more content to the postgame. This is the end of a very long game, after all, it should be rewarding.[/p][p]So I don't have a public release date, but I do promise to keep updating the blog with each iteration. Please look forward to it![/p]

Well, I didn't want to do this, but the 0.79.2 version has a number of errors. >_< Not catastrophic, but not the condition I want to leave the game in while I work on the next major content. So here is yet another build.

There's not much more information on the blog, but I'll include the link as usual:
https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2025/03/tls-0793-last-call.html

The plan is for the next build to be the big postgame update, which is the last major chunk. Lots of work, but lots of things everyone will enjoy. ^-^

If I have to do all this again, I might as well throw out one last DStP link. Less than 24 hours left on the campaign:

There are still some of the unique tiers left if you want to design Princess Plum's dresses, get in the credits, or just want to support my little side project. Thanks!
