Huge update for everyone! Aka's route takes you high and low in Ari-Yhilina, as you'll soon see. There are a lot of secrets in this one, so have fun figuring those out.
I have most of the planning for Yarra's route done, and I'll hopefully get started as soon as the release is past and I'm less busy.
Currently doing Aka's route now, i just have a question, where is the "Specialty Library", i've pretty much gone everywhere in Ari-Yhilina and i can't find the place. Any clues?
ReplyDeleteThanks, and, as always, Amazing Game! Keep up the great work!
It sounds to me like you haven't visited any of the new sections of Ari-Yhilina. But if you have, here's your clue: you would have seen the correct library on your way to a negotiation that went surprisingly well.
DeleteThanks very much for the clue. I do hope you're talking about the area of the "House Rose" :)

DeleteI've just been playing around my save lately, and i noticed some things...
DeleteIf i may make a suggestion: What do you think of the possibility to see the current amount of Affection, not just when Simon speaks to a Harem Member personally, but also through, say, Yarra's Harem "listing" (she is, after all the "Harem Mistress", hehehe)? Or, additionally for party members, through the Status part of the Menu?
Just some thought i had... hehehe (I also wonder how difficult it would be to program it like that)
It's nothing I can throw in effortlessly, given my level of programming skill. I won't rule it out, but don't expect it soon.
DeleteIs the "second Eustrin Supplier not in Ledger"-Bug supposed to be fixed? Because it still doesnt show up for me.
ReplyDeleteIt may not be fixed retroactively, but I did at least fiddle with this. Will look into it more
DeleteJust for clarification, are there actually supposed to be two distinct investments both called "Eustrin Supplier" in the Ledger, because the Ledger-Common-Event only has support for one, and neither could I find a Switch for the other one in the newest version.
DeleteThis mightve just been a case of miscommunication.
There are two suppliers from Eustrin, but there is only supposed to be one "Eustrin Supplier." The one in the ledger is the one you find in the tunnels, whereas the other (unseen) supplier is covered by "Gift to Megail."
DeleteI was thinking this was related to an old bug wherein the gift led to "Eustrin Supplier" appearing inaccurately.
Excited about this. You've done some good design to make Yhilin feel like a real capital-lots of scope to it. You're also making me a little insane looking for where I can find that rapey ginger from the Clearinghouse :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! And as for finding him, my hint is that you have to go back to a previous area to find out more about him.
DeleteGoddammit, no matter how many times I play it, I can still think that everyone is ignoring a silent player on the chessboard. That being Ivala. I mean with a shard of the Lustlord inside of him and yet the priestesses feel nothing from him. Ivala is basically making Simon into her counterpart as the balance of light and dark mandate it All of this is my own Wild Mass Guessing of course.
ReplyDeleteNo comment, other than that I love speculation. ^-^

ReplyDeleteHi I am having an issue with the Magic Order in Ari-Yhilina. I am doing the second test and have completed 3 out of 4. I decided to do all 4 when the option presented itself but am now stuck. The final one is the highly specialised test. I have been to the library and got the knowledge but now in the test all companions either refuse to take it or fail. I assume I am missing something
ReplyDeleteAfaik, Trin is the only one who can succeed at that test. But Trin can also only be used for a single test, so if you have used her for another, that test is afaik unpassable.
DeleteIt sounds like your party is tired. Let them rest and Robin/Altina will be able to do more tests. Trin, on the other hand, requires time to pass before she's willing to do another test.
DeleteAh coolio, thanks for the quick reply
DeleteBeen meaning to ask, If Wendis was still alive, how would she get along with Simon's harem?
ReplyDeleteShe'd get along quite well with some of them - Wendis was always the more sexually adventurous one in their marriage. On Simon's route there will be another flashback dream that will explore their relationship.
DeleteAre we sure that Wendis is dead?
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the cultist boss battle, it says you receive Otherworldly Robes, but I didn't get any. Also, the conversation with the Elected Elder is very long, and you would expect that it would not repeat, but if you talk with the Elder a second time, it repeats the entire sequence. Looking at the code, it appears that the problem is the same both times: it doesn't correctly handle the case where switch 0248 (ORCS CLEARED - ALTINA) is not set.
ReplyDeleteAh, so it is! Good catch, these will be fixed as of next version. If you don't talk to the elder repeatedly, that section will complete without causing any problems.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAfter completing "Aka's Condition", Aka still has the status effect, is that intended?
ReplyDeleteShe's not cured, her condition is merely improved. In combat, the difference in health drain is between 20% and 5%.
DeleteGotta remeber Kebab, that without Simon...releasing himself inside her or finally finding that transformation ritual, she's going to suffer from the spreading corruption, which has been within her longer than Carina. Speaking of how long before Carina starts feeling the affects too?
DeleteCarina is in substantially better shape because she was "treated" immediately after her corruption, without a Chosen interfering, by Simon with much more experience. So her condition isn't very comparable to Aka's.
Deletewhere do you fine Andrew to take him over
ReplyDeletetalk to another zirantian
DeleteBought a fancy +25 MAT Magic Necklace in Aka's route, but neither Robin nor Altina can equip it. Is this a succubus item, or a bug?
ReplyDeleteIt is a succubus item, yes.
DeleteVaria can use it too, not really relevant because Varia is not present on this part of the game ;-) .
DeleteJust finished playing TLS for the first time. I must say, your writing is awesome! I especially like Robin's dialogues during Aka's route, she has so many of Simon's characteristics, but has a youthful feminine side of her so that she's not just a total copy. They really are a believable father-daughter pair.
ReplyDeleteMinor bug I think? In my playthrough I did Aka's Route first. By the end of Aka's route I used all of Trin's clones, but I did NOT clone the 3 workers in the bar. Later, on Megail's route when I go to the bar and talk to the 3 workers, I get a dialogue with Trin about how she couldn't make anymore clones.
Sorry if you've answered this before, but are you planning on adding or commissioning CGs? The scenes are super hot already. Just.. you know, additional stimuli always desired. Either way I will keep playing. :-)
P.S. That Shining Sword in the unpeople mansion was very very sneaky... obviously not talking about the obvious one ;-P
Thank you, glad you like the game!
DeleteWorkers: Yup, that's a bug. I'll get it fixed by the next version.
CGs: I'd love to have CGs for the game, but it's difficult to find artists that are both professional and in my price range. I hope to get there one day, but I want to do it in a way that doesn't slow down the current updates.
Shining Swords: I try to be sneaky sometimes. ^-^
Well like I said, CGs or not, I'll continue to be riveted by the story and characters. I'm sure you'll get there eventually. If I had any artistic talent I'd volunteer.
DeleteIt occurred to me that CGs could potentially pay for themselves if their appeal translates into more donations. It's like one of Megail's investments, except instead of investing with ProN, you would invest in ProN! :D (Sorry, I couldn't resist...)
You're right that art would probably draw attention to the game. Finding the right artist for a project really is tricky, though, so it's something I'll have to keep working on.
DeleteEither way, thanks for following!
Hi:
DeleteYou're the guy that it's revamping the LoQO wiki from top to the bottom, aren't you? You're doing an amazing job there and I'm glad to see you here. I don't know if you're aware or not but this game has its own wiki, if you have any doubts or wants to discover all the little details that Sierra wants to keep hidden, *lol*.
----
Sierra the BKG mirrors have been updated, BTW.
Guilty as charged. Things have settled down a little over at the LoQO Wiki, so I've had a little more time to branch out. Thank you for your contributions over there as well. :)
DeleteI just found the TLS Wiki the other day and was surprised how thorough it is already, great job! The investments page would have especially been useful, now I gotta start a new run. :P
Shining Swords: I try to be sneaky sometimes. ^-^
DeleteHAHAHA, like the Atlantic Ocean tries to be wet sometimes. Poor Seil and I were going insane trying to explicate to the other person how we're going to the wrong bar in Lower Town. You're always sneaky, with an extra of sneakiness sometimes (and we love you for that, don't you doubt it for a second).
----
randomcouchpotato: thanks for the kind words. The LoQO it's a pretty useful resource because that games are huge. I will try to add more details to the different pages when I have more time.
Maybe the person you are working with on NN would be willing to help you out there? I like his artwork and you and he colab well to create scenes that are described erotically and can easily stand alone but are enhanced by the stills in the background.
DeleteI do love Nomo's artwork, obviously, but if he took on TLS his drawing time would be booked for about a year.
DeleteHey there just finished the latest update but did not encounter any of the sex scenes, any hints you can spare plz :D.
ReplyDeleteOne is involved in the Aka's health quest and requires talking to Yarra early.
DeleteThe other requires Altina and Trin to be fairly happy.
Fairly happy? Does this mean they have to have high relationship points, or is this just something I have to do during Aka's route?
DeleteIt's based on their combined relationship points, yes. They aren't required to be all that high, but if either is very unhappy you probably can't get the scene.
DeleteFor Altina she just appeared in the tower before the orc invasion, I had never seen her before this (minus the intro of course) and was wondering was this how I was supost to meet her? Or did I miss her somewhere.
DeleteFor Altina she just appeared in the tower before the orc invasion, I had never seen her before this (minus the intro of course) and was wondering was this how I was supost to meet her? Or did I miss her somewhere.
DeleteIt's seems that you didn't rescue her in Chapter 2. So I think that her presence in your party seems like a bug.
Previously, Altina could appear in the crypt even if she hadn't joined. I'd really like to think this bug has been fixed - were you playing on the newest version?
DeleteI believe I was, started a new file and did not even know I could recruit her in the first place. So when she appeared out of no where I was really confused.
DeleteHeya Sierra, Love the game, Wish I could help out so the workload isn't so thick. I was wondering if Aka's health quest, which once you complete still has her health fall. not sure if bug or intentional, Also I love your choice in music. XP I simple stock from the RTP but still beautiful to the core. XP Would love to send you mine but thats ya know..self serving and I don't wanna be that annoying guy. Looking forward to Yarra's storyline ^^ Loved Aka's. Good luck
ReplyDeleteThanks! I pick the best songs I can, anyway. ^-^
DeleteAka's health is not bugged. You can't make it stop draining, but you can reduce how much it drains per round.
Nice update! Haven't played this for ages. Does anyone have a save for right when you get to the route unlock? I lost mine unfortunately :/
ReplyDeleteHi Joseph:
DeleteHere you have my save. I hope it serves you well.

ReplyDeleteSierra..Mind if I help out. not like with the game itself..XP No, after my last post. I wanted to see if I can help find any resources for you, be it script, animation or otherwise. I wouldn't force you to use them..more of they are there if needed. Kills my boredom while I search too and free labor for you XD
ReplyDeleteSure, I'm always open to suggestions!
DeleteHi Sierra,
ReplyDeleteI'm doing my second run and found a few minor bugs.
1) In the first encounter with Yarra, if Tal is already fainted, the "Lust Bomb" will hit Simon instead. I also noticed that depending on how Tal is equipped and especially if he guards, he has a good chance of surviving the attack. Her dialogue before the attack implies that it should only hit Tal and always faint him.
2) At the merchant camp in the meeting hall, the edges of the stage are not solid. Doesn't really break anything, but it lets you walk around/behind the bad guys without triggering the fight because the trigger is on the stairs.
3) Not sure if this next one can be fixed, because it might be something more fundamental with the battle system. In the fight with the final demon in the Mage Academy, if you select an attack that hits all enemies (Yarra's haze is the only one available at that point I think) the targeting highlighting will show the HP bars of enemies that haven't been summoned yet. It doesn't actually damage them so it ultimately doesn't affect the fight, but it reveals to the player that more enemies are on the way and could ruin the surprise factor.
Anyways, those were just few things I noticed, none are a big deal. I'm still in Stineford because I'm convinced there is some secret with the two hooded characters hiding in that inaccessible alley behind the magic shop. I suspect they are related to the four thugs in the slum bar, but I haven't figured it out yet, any hints would be appreciated :3
I'm totally unaware about any secret regarding these guys... But it's true that Sierra has managed to hide some stuff before (it took the players three versions to find a hidden SS in a obligatory dungeon), so I can't deny it categorically (although to be honest the only interaction with the four guys in the Slums that I'm able to trigger is a violent confrontation, so maybe you're into something here), I remember to think about that confrontation and have the feeling that I was missing something.
DeleteThanks for the bug reports!
Delete1) Hmm, good point. The attack now takes less defense into account.
2) Ah, good catch. Fixed.
3) Yeah, I'm afraid I don't know of a way to fix this one. The way VX Ace handles summoning/additional enemies is really weak.
Shady Guys: Nothing sneaky here! They exist because I wanted to have a few details suggesting that not everything in the world has to do with the main characters.
Heh, thanks for addressing the Shady Guys, I was chasing ghosts :P
DeleteRegarding the bugs,
1) Does that mean it could still hit Simon?
3) My curiosity made me investigate this and I think I found the solution. In the Enemy HP Bars script, inserting this at line 455 should fix it.
return false if @battler.enemy? && @battler.hidden
Source: https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/ace-battle-engine/enemy-hp-bars/#comment-2238
1) I also changed the encounter so Tal will always be alive at the start of the battle, and Yarra's action takes place before anything else occurs.
Delete3) Ah, it appears to work! Thanks for looking into the script for me.
Awesome, I'm glad it worked! I like your solution to the fist bug too, the idea of reviving Tal just to instantly kill him again is very appealing. :P
DeleteI have another question/offer for you. How attached are you to Hilstara's current battler picture (the armored axe soldier)? I'm not really an artist, but I do mess around with Photoshop sometimes, and I made a new battler for her. It's yours if you're interested, but I won't be offended either way.
I'm definitely willing to look at alternatives for her battler. My email address is in the comments just below these, if you want to send it.
DeleteSent! I threw in another battler for another character that might be useful in the future.
DeleteI have found some graphics and such for you like I said Sierra, its not much but it might help. If you know anyway I can send them to you, let me know. I do have a samurai add-on pack that the company that made the RPG maker vx ace ^^. so if you have any other other ideas for other countries it might help. I have a few others..I hope it helps at least
ReplyDeleteEmail would probably be easiest: my Gmail address is sierra.lee.author. Thanks!
DeleteHaving said that, I'm pretty sure I have the whole Samurai pack. You'll see it come into play in Yarra's route, actually, since a bunch of new countries are represented.
Haha, I'll still send some other assets though ^^ Helping out is fun

ReplyDeleteWhen doing Aka's route, where's Megail? On the wiki it says that we need to talk to her for her opinion on who to copy but I have no idea where she is.
ReplyDeleteYou will find her in the Outskirts, near the exit. BTW, I didn't find the reference in the wiki so I had added it to the Quests page.
DeleteInteresting, I missed this on my first run as well. Does it matter which route you do first?
DeleteThank you so much.
DeleteExcept for using items you got on different routes (since I decided not to separate inventories), which route you do first should not affect anything. I want people to be able to do them in whatever order they like.
DeleteAs for Megail, she leaves to do her route very early in Aka's. So if you've done too much, she won't be there anymore.
Interesting, I missed this on my first run as well. Does it matter which route you do first?
DeleteNo, not really (and it makes sense). I'm relatively sure that there will be furthre interactions with Yarra's group.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteFor Yarra's rout, the only party members I see are Yarra, Qum D'umpe, and Orcent. Is there supost to be a 4th member?
ReplyDeleteNope, their group is only three. Aka's can be as well, without Altina.
DeleteJust wanted to say that i am a BIG fan of your game. i have been following it since it was called"the last fucklord"ages ago and your story is top notch. it is quite enjoyable and engrossing. i thank you for your hard efforts all these times and hope to see more soon :)
ReplyDeletei found a couple of glitchs btw.
1st,altina will be in the meeting even if you didnt rescue her,which confused me lol.
2nd,you cant reach all the slimes in the merchant camp.
also,please make projects give pron quicker. i used all my money and only got 5000 back since then lol,and the mine guy keeps mocking me when i ask him about my money >_>. speaking of which,it would be nice to give a hint that the pron you give that chick will triple later. since i didnt know that,i only gave her 52.500pron and used the rest. if i had known that,i would have given her all.
again,thanks and i hope my notes help :)
Thanks, glad you like it!
Delete1) I hope to get this Altina bug squashed in time.
2) Some of the slimes are there for flavor, you can't get them all.
ok. what about the pron stuff? :)
Deletealso,in the"planning to defend ardoheim from orcs meeting,some of your forces(the lamia and the succubi)never get mentioned when talking about who defends which pass. minor oversight,but please fix it none the less :)
oh,and how about you add a warning that entering your city is a point of no return. something like"are we sure we finished all we need?" as i missed out on altina the 1st time bc i intended to go there later,and had to reload and redo several hours again >_>
1) The basic ProN system won't change. When you get ProN, assume that's all you'll have for a while.
Delete2) I intended to imply that they're with Orcent's group, but fair enough. I'll add a mention of them.
3) There is no single point of no return, but rather the plot advances when you've finished all the required objectives.
1.ok. fair enough.
Delete2. :)
3. i meant that Altina is unrecrutible after you enter,so you would lose her if you didnt recruit her before you enter.
We're talking about the same part. Returning to Feroholm is only one of the required objectives to finish that section, so unless you left it for the very last one, it's not actually a point of no return
Deleteoh ok. my mistake then :)
Deletehowever,i just ran into a game breaking glitch :(. in aka's healing quest,the 2nd step after visiting the library("talk to yarra")doesnt show in the quests log until yarra leaves,and if i reload an earlier save yarra just says her generic comment about needing to prepare. i have literally finished all other quests in her route and am now stuck :(. please solve the glitch with a hotfix or something lol.
btw,while the basic pron system wont change,it would be nice to give a hint that the pron you give that chick will triple later. since i didnt know that,i only gave her 52.500pron and used the rest. if i had known that,i would have given her all.
Game Breaking? Even when I forgot to talk to Yarra, I was still able to continue the Aka's Condition Quest after Yarra left. I'm not sure if there is any advantage/disadvantage to having the conversation, but it's optional.
DeleteIf your earlier save just gives Yarra's generic response, maybe your old save is from before you started the quest and/or talked to Robin?
This comment has been removed by the author.
Deletejust consulted the wiki. seems like i didnt know about the secret room next to the throne room. will check it out and report back later :/
DeleteFor the record, talking to Yarra is an optional objective.
Deleteyeah. that was my mistake. no glitch there lol >_>.
DeleteIs it just me or when playing Megail's route all the enemies tend to attack Varia more than anyone else in the group?
ReplyDeleteThe enemies on Megail's route all have specific targeting rules. So depending on which enemies you tend to kill and what equipment you're using, you really might be seeing more of them attack Varia than normal.
DeleteHey There, so as a genral comment on your work so far my first reaction was:
Delete"Simon says....." :D
the it was, "I collect, I gather, essence, MORE essence, I Evolve..."
(any1? ^ ^ )
then comes chapter II and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkoidwsLXCg
:D :P
so anyway, out of 3 main titles hosted on badkittygames, THIS is By FAR my favourite atm, keep it up but pls dont go overboard with story nuances, its nice when its complex, but not TOO complex :)
that said dont know if/and what u have planned as far as relation of TITLE<->Story but i thought of few possibilities, also a perfect way to mix all 3 posibilities the 3 ladies outline for "U" (the END of War scenario) into 1 :D
Thanks, glad you like it! The point of "too complex" will come at a different place for everyone, but rest assured that I do try to keep things balanced.
DeleteAs for the ending... you'll find out. ^-^
This game has been featured in LewdGamer.... So go there (you need a Disqus account to comment) to say how awesome it is! ;-) :-P
ReplyDeleteCool! Nice to know I finally got on LewdGamer. ^-^
DeleteI really hope that they interview you soon...
DeleteI feel I owe you an apology. After version 0.10 i was expecting it to go to hell, with Simon taken I thought that the girls would be forced into situations with people outside the group, something that didn't come to pass. I actually skipped version 0.11 because of this misconception, but decided to give 0.12 a go and i want to say that as always I really liked the game and above all else sorry. You do good work and I shouldn't have doubted you.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the next release. (Still not sure why i'm collecting all this shiny equipment I can't use/sell but... meh)
I'm glad to hear you liked it despite your misgivings! Yarra's route will have more sex than the others, for obvious reasons, but yeah - overall this isn't that sort of game. Two updates from now we get a lot of happy reunion sex. ^-^
DeleteI look forward to it. Also i wanted to congratulate you in most games when a cut-scene takes over and bad things happen there is always the feeling of "If you'd just let me play it wouldn't have happened", but when Simon is taken my first thought was more along the lines of "we got off easy". So congrats on writing such scenes in a way that even major game companies can't (or choose not) to replicate.
DeleteSeparation between story and gameplay is a tricky thing, yeah. I try my best to keep them in sync to produce an enjoyable experience, anyway.
Deletei actually had the same thought and did the same thing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you stuck with it!
DeleteHello I am having a problem with the game. I am in the secret dungeon while you are in devil's path. I have tried to get out and can't seem to get out. I have tried to get out via recommendation on the wiki. I love the game so far but right now I am stuck.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I don't have it anymore, but there is a map of the teleport maze that should help you. Maybe try to ask on a forum - the image should still exist somewhere.
DeleteOnly because Sierra appears to condone the existence of such a map, and since it seems the original was lost, I made my own version. http://thelastsovereign.wikia.com/wiki/File:TLS_TeleportRoomMap.png
DeleteMy color coding scheme didn't turn out as pretty as I planned, but I hope it's still readable enough to be useful.
The older map (with tips included) can also be found on the wiki, if anyone has some trouble with that part of the game, it also contains a good number of tips.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI'm at the part where you have to go through the routes with the different characters to get the crystals so you can save simon, and i'm kinda stuck on aka's part, and how the fuck do i talk to yarra about her condition before she leaves.
ReplyDeletesorry if i am asking a question that has an obvious answer lol
Yarra leaves relatively early during Aka's route, so it's best if you do her quest ASAP, specially the first part (you don't need lo leave the castle for this).
DeleteI'm stuck on a quest called "Assist the poorest section of the city" for Yhilin Preparations. I tried reading the wiki for quest help but i cant seem to figure out where "Lower Town" is or how to assess it or who the elder of elves or the queens bar, any help?
ReplyDeleteOkay so it is not even close to the completw game yet?
ReplyDeleteNo? Based on your choice of post, I'm not sure about what you're asking.
DeleteI hope it's clear I'm planning to make an extremely large game here. 20+ hours of gameplay by the time it's done. Chapter two is nearing completion, but there will be more than two chapters.
