Version 0.23.0
 - New section of the story added, beginning the Zirantian section.
 - Two new sex scenes.
 - The previous iteration of Ari-Yhilina has been updated, adding more potential affection.
 - There are also a significant number of Lynine/Orilise events added to that iteration.
Version 0.23.1
 - The usual bugfixes and polishing.
 - Additional flavor text added to palace room and the crypt.
 - Thanks to Lamsey for fixing and converting a lot of musical tracks. If you noticed any minor audio glitches before, those should be fixed now thanks to him!
 - Thanks to Decanter, we have a new Fuani sprite that matches her coloring better.
 - Since the "optimize" option does not really optimize in a game with multiple stats on equipment, it has been renamed. Thanks to HarmlessArachnid for volunteering his scripting knowledge, even if it didn't get used in the end. The discussions and contributions of players help me keep polishing all the details. ^-^
Version 0.23.2
 - Some minor polishing, but the real reason I put out a new version is this:
 - Several pots in 0.23.1 that give Zirantian Artifacts can't be interacted with properly. Update to this version to collect them.

Nice to have a straightforward release! I hope everybody enjoys this introduction to Zirantia. Lots of foundation for things in this update, so I hope you enjoy all the plot developments and new areas. Expect a big finish for Zirantia next update, then an extra large Yhilin update. The plot is definitely moving forward, we'll be getting to some very big events this year.

  2. Is it just me or do Zirantians who don't speak Cleftian well intentionally (on Sierra's part, I mean) sound like lolcats?

    1. They sound more like Yoda to me. Zirantian language is clearly different word order having to Clentian.

  5. There is an grave at the crypt which seems to has no way to it. Is there truly no way to it?

    This update contains so many cute girls I want to take with our group! Maid fluff and bird fluff besides our maybe simple teddy fluff. However there is an succubus who could have an problem with the maid, she could be jealous, about her and Yarra.

    Wynne, I tough she would be an bit older human. She looks cute, but I really don't know what I should think about her for now.

  7. this was a fun update, kinda surprised me yarra doesnt know futa spells

    then again if she did i feel like she would just cast it on the entire harem whenever she got really bored. dont think robin or carina would be very impressed lol.

    1. I felt like since Yarra already has combat and illusion skillsets, she must have spent less time in other areas. That doesn't mean she can't learn in the future, though...

    1. Sorry to hear that. I gave that some thought, it's why I added the sign, but I guess that isn't enough in all cases.

    2. How about a sign the just says PUB in big letters right on the building? It's a classic, makes services easy to locate, and besides businesses like to advertise

  9. im not gonna lie it took me an embarrassingly long time to understand "fur face." qum and ralke are fun and silly but this new girl just seems hard to understand for me :(

    but simon + wynn was top notch. so much feels.

    also random question is the ruin yarra exploring and the one wynn is going to teleport simon to the same one or are they different? cuz wynn said that there will be monsters but qum pointed out no monsters. also if theyre the same the old league is probably gonna be pissed at the unionists now that we looted it before they could officially gift it

    Replies
    1. Glad you liked some of the stuff this update, and I think you'll enjoy the next one. ^-^

      They're completely different ruins - Zirantia has a lot of them. The one Yarra visits is in the capital, whereas the one Wynn mentions is in a desert to the north. You'll get to visit next update, it'll be a major dungeon.

    2. I'm not a member on any of the other sites that have Last Sovereign threads, so I guess I'll ask here. What the heck do you do with Ukhyae? (I know I must be spelling that wrong)

      She feels like a jack of all trades master of none; she can heal but not cleanse status effects, she has a physical buff spell but nothing special, and she has that Shockwave that is inferior to both of your mages.

      Which is fine, but I'm not sure why I would add her to my party in place of one of those mentioned specialists (rogue-type, healer-type, mage-type).

      Delete
    3. This comment has been removed by the author.

      Delete
    4. Uyae's basic concept is indeed jack of all trades. I had in mind her primary use being for situations where you want to bring mostly one kind of specialist and have her play all the support roles. If you equip double claws/gloves, though, she should be able to be a decent specialist herself.

      One note: I don't think Shockwave should be compared to the mages. It does physical damage and scales with strength/defense, so naturally it's going to be worse in situations where magic is strong (but it's the party's only physical skill targeting everyone for situations where magic is weak).

      Delete
    5. Oh, that would explain it. I double equipped gloves before trying Shockwave and was all, 'Wow that's piss weak.'

      Delete
    6. Hmm, I guess that's not at all clear. I've changed the description to hopefully avoid the uncertainty, thanks for bringing it up.

      Delete
  10. I'm unsure if you fixed this in the last version or so but when you are fighting the elves in I believe Denmiel you can leave after entering/fighting the elves but before you actually complete the room and do... something... that I'm assuming uses the same variable/counter as used for the number of elves making this mission (and probably others) impossible to complete. I'm not sure what it was but I wanted to explore everything before completing each corrupted house and found it impossible to complete without reloading or editing.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That's very plausible. Hmm, trying to remember what all might use a temp variable during that section... I will try to look into this given enough time, but if you ever find out what it was specifically, let me know. Thanks for the report!

      Delete
    2. A bit more research and I believe it's just the wolf killing that uses the same variable. there might be something else too but that's a for sure thing.

      Delete
    3. There could also be a leftover count on the variable from the previous section of so too but I'm certain the wolf killing screws it up.

      Delete
    4. It isn't a leftover count, starting that quest resets it to the appropriate number. Now, the weird thing is that while the wolf quest does use the same variable, don't you need to have finished the Denmiel quest to go fight any wolves? Correct me if I'm not remembering correctly.

      In any case, I've changed the wolves to a new variable just in case. Thanks!

      Delete
    5. I just thought I'd mention in this area that in the Thumaturgic Order, I check the outer four tests and it says I've completed them, but when I go to the one in the center Robin says that she has to complete them still. If you respond, I may or may not notice, since this is a fake email for this sort of thing, and I do not use it often. I just thought you'd want to know.

      Delete
    6. You can fight a wolf in literally the opening area of the elf portion right outside the area with the two queens that caused the issue, so it was this.

      Delete
    7. Re: Thaumaturgic Order - Sorry, this one will be straightened out when the last trial is completed!

      Re: Wolves - You mean at the beginning of the elven section? That shouldn't matter, because that variable is nullified later. Unless you can get back to that area some way... thanks for still looking into this, anyway!

      Delete
  11. Great update, Sierra. I got to say, I'm surprised Simon took the surprise so... well. I mean, I was expecting chunky salsa as a result.

    That said, I think he's got a lot of anger bottled up alongside the pain he's already been expressing, and I'm hoping that when he hits someone deserving, they'll get to experience it all.

  12. Sierra I found ouroboros for free in another page.
    Do you want the link so you can protest?

    1. I guess. I don't fight this too hard, since it's generally inevitable, but if there are stable pages giving out the game for free, they'd probably have to respond to requests.

  13. Is there a dialogue change or anything of the like to let you know that you've got all the artifacts in the ruins? I've scoured it top to bottom (and got the artifacts in the shrine on the outer wall). I've got 13, but I suppose it's possible that there are more I'm missing...

    1. No dialogue indicator yet because you'll have more opportunities to get artifacts next update. But for now there are only 13 available, so no worries. ^-^

  14. Has anyone told you how freaking awesome you are? I have been adicted to novels for a long time, and playing this game, it is truly immersive, even as a seemingly simple rpg, you are making a whole new world, one awesome game.

    Probably need to catch my breath... anyway thank you for giving me so much fun, this story, even without the sex would undoubtably be worth a play. Not a sex game, but a game with sex, its awesome and I hope you continue till the end!

    1. Well, thank you kindly! ^-^ I love this game and have every intention of finishing it, but the fact that so many people appreciate what I'm doing just motivates me even more!

  15. Hey Sierra! Love your game! I just wanted to know (for possible fanart), do you have a specific sizes in mind for the girls? as in breasts and/or height. that, and a dick size from Simon. Thanks for taking the time to read this comment!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi, thanks for commenting and glad you like the game!

      I do indeed have heights and breast sizes in mind for the characters, but that would be a lot to post. Any characters in particular you wanted to know?

      Simon's dick can change size thanks to the shard, so go with whatever looks good to you. The only real size note I have is that he makes it larger with succubi than with humans, since they're more into that.

      Delete
    2. Hm.... For now, I guess the first 3 girls Yarra, Aka and Qum, and Nalili too just cause I just finished Simon's path.

      yeah, I got up to that part, so I will! Thanks for your input!

      Delete
    3. Alright, here are some details. Yarra is 5'4", Aka is 5'2", Qum 5'3", Nalili 5'0". Aka and Nalili have large breasts, Yarra and Qum larger. Also, canon lore is that succubi have different breast composition; they're much more buoyant than real breasts would be. So while Aka is young, her breasts should still show a more natural shape than succubi.

      Delete
  16. I come to this game for the sex, and now I stay for the story. Seriously the lore of this game is awesome. I have to ask one thing: i have just finished the second chapter; i know the game is unfinished, so... what is avaliable right now? how many chapters are you going to do? when is going to be finished the game?are you considering more domitanion options for the characters, like altina and varia (if you know what i mean ;) ) sorry my english is not very good, I speak spanish. Stay determined with your work Sierra!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Glad you're enjoying the game!

      If you have finished the second chapter, you're almost caught up. I have created six updates of chapter three, which covers two complete plot segments (currently working on an update that will finish the third).

      I don't want to say the exact number of chapters, but I'll say that we're over 50% and the third chapter is the largest.

      You'll get a few more choices along the lines of Varia and Altina, but not just yet.

      Thanks again!

  17. Hi Sierra. I have a minor bug to report. Since I have replayed part of the game, I have noticed that 2 things I did didn't raise affection as they should have (based on Decanter's affection guide - if I'm wrong about it, please, blame him :P ). Both times it is Janine, who is not gaining proper amount of affection.
    Namely: +2 funding Rebel's Pass bridge repair (post-reunion), +5 funding huge infrastructure petition.
    Both of those gained me exactly 0 affection points instead. I mean, it should raise at the moment you spend money on the petition, no? Even if not, I'm pretty sure that the bloody bridge is FINALLY rebuild, yet still no +2 affection for that before venturing into Zirantia. I double checked what I did based on the guide, so I'm positive it's the bridge (I had a prior save, and I gained no affection from funding the bridge repair, it's nothing else, I'm certain). Now does that happen to everyone, who funds the bridge after Reunion or is it just me on my path based on some other decisions? Can't tell you... You can ask what choices I made, if you feel the need.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hmm, well, this is awkward. Both of those investments have no complicating factors and only a single way to acquire them. They both grant affection at the same time the money is spent, without exception. They seem to raise affection when tested, so I honestly have no idea what to tell you!

      Delete
    2. I mean, the +5 to Janine from infrastructure isn't even written on thi wiki page (discretionary funding). What that proves is that the guy, who wrote it forgot or didn't get it either. You'll gonna argue that he just forgot. But I can't imagine that I'm the only one who has that happened. BTW the +2 from bridge I didn't get even on my new playthrough, I haven't gotten to the infrastructure investment yet, but still... it's not a random thing, it happened to me in both my old save and a new one. The +5 I haven't gotten could be in theory from "unmissable +5 on returning from elven forests", because I haven't got that far yet and my old save is after that (obviously), but I'm fairly certain I didn't get it from the infrastructure investment. Because I was surprised that it was written in Decanter's guide, since I haven't looked into it before and wiki mentions only +5 to Hilstara (which I got). I mean I can send you my saves or w/e, but you probably won't recognize anything from it anyway, no? I mean it doesn't really matter, I have almost 100 anyway... Yea that's how no one would notice that it didn't raise their affection, if they already have 100... And most of the people probably funded the bridge on the first time, not after Reunion... nonetheless, unless the +2 I didn't get is from "+2 conversation on 2F of Janine's retreat before Ardford", but I'm pretty sure that it is as I said before... I dunno, at this point, I can only count how much I should have and see how much I have and if you say it works... whatever then, nevermind I guess... But I'm like 98% sure I'm right. Or I'm crazy I guess, that's that 2%.

      Delete
    3. Saves could be helpful, because I can use the dev console to look at variables in real time as they change. Upload two saves to somewhere, one right before you make each investment. Worst case scenario, we rule out some problems.

      Delete
    4. Yea, I realized that would might actually work. But, you see that's the thing with the bridge... I kinda don't have any save. I mean I do, but that's way too back (midway through Aka's route) and I'm unwilling to go through Aka's route, then Megail, then Simon and then finally I'd get there (I have overwritten all the other saves already)... That's like several hours. Unless you have a way for me to get there faster? However, in a few days (I guess on Sunday most likely), I will get back to the infrastructure investment. Now if it somehow works, then I'll reply, that it works and that will be that. Otherwise I'll provide a save so you can see if it works for you or not.

      Delete
    5. If you send me saves, I can just use the program to skip over the other sections. For the purposes of checking a straightforward investment, all I need to do is observe the variable at the moment of investing.

      Anyway, let me know!

      Delete
    6. Fuck me it worked now. Because of course it did... I mean the infrastracture bonus. Now I look like a fool (don't care don't worry). Well the fact of the matter is, that I'm still missing 2 points (almost certainly from the bridge investment). And btw, in my old save, surprise surprise, I have 5 less points in Janine's affection than in my new one. Granted, my old save was made in 0.22. So since the last patch you probably fixed it. Or I dunno, it worked now! :) Anyway, I can upload my mid-Aka path save, but like, would that even matter? There are like lot of things that happen since that point till Reunion... And if you just skip that, I mean it could be some of those things that affect it and make it not work. You know, if I had a save just in front of it, I could certainly say what's what, but like this... But if you want my save nonetheless, say the word and I'll upload it for you. I can even upload the old one from 0.22 where it didn't work with the infrastructure, if you wanna. I just have a feeling that if you skip the part you will find it working - as you said it does. Because you know, that's how it works (Murphy's law). :)

      BTW one more thing, say I'd like to cheat a bit (well technically fix what I'm missing) and add 2 points to Janine's affection. I tried using some RpgMakerSaveEdit just to see and there I could only change my party members, not Janine. I tried that because that's newbie friendly. So is there something else you could recomend to change Janine's affection that doesn't take me hours to learn how to use? It's not THAT important, but you know, figured that I'd ask anyway.

      Oh and one more thing (again), the Zirantian section. Will it be like the elven lands? Meaning - this patch is first part and next patch will be a second, but you won't add anything to this one? For short, is this first part of Zirantia fully completed, or will it be like before that you'll add in the next patch to the first part of Zirantia as well?

      Delete
    7. Haha, thanks for checking again for me. I think in this case I don't need to see your save; I'm actually running behind schedule on the next release and I need to focus.

      Afraid I can't help you with cheating, as I use the engine for everything. Are you sure RPGMakerSaveEdit doesn't have an option to change the game's main variables? That'd be a big omission if so. The other program people use is Cheat Engine, but many find that less user friendly.

      The next update should go basically like the elven ones. If anything is added to the first update's content, it will be cosmetic. I try to follow this principle for every update, though there are exceptions when I think it's best for the game overall.

      Delete
    8. Sorry if I delayed you... And thank you, the save editor apparently does that, I just didn't know I should look through the variables. So thank you for telling me where to look. :) (basically I just skimmed through and thought it couldn't do that... I'm blind is what I'm saying)

      Delete
    9. wow Sierra Lee talking about cheating to explore her game, I never thought I'd see the day :P

      so 2019 sequel starts or new project entirely?

      Delete
    10. I understand some people will want to cheat for whatever reason. I have no issue with it, especially when the person just wants to tweak their experience slightly.

      TLS will have a definitive ending. I do love the world, so I might return for a story or a different type of game, but there will be no sequel. You'll see more side games from me (some of them this year!) and I hope to work on some big projects similar to TLS as well.

      Delete
    11. I mean there's cheating and then there's cheating, right. Like you can cheat to figure out, what path/investments/choices you make and what does that actually do. And then you can reload and play properly without using anything like that. So you basically use cheating as a tool to gain information. Seems fair in my book.

      And then there's the type, where you give yourself 10M ProN so you can invest in everything and max affection for every companion, so you get best results and don't miss any dialogue, but then you lose all personality of the game... Some people like that anyway, in my eyes it ruins the experience and the point of the game.

      Anyway, why do I bother you again, Sierra? Just wanna say, that I started a fresh new save from scratch in version 0.23. I won't bother explaining, just wanna say, that this time, the bridge after Reunion gave +2 affection to Janine properly. So whatever the issue was, it seems it's no longer the case as of 0.23. Dunno if you care about me reporting that everything works, I mean it is a bit pointless... But maybe you care, since I said it doesn't. :) (and it certainly didn't!)

      Delete
    12. Yeah, I think giving yourself infinite money is kind of losing the spirit of the game. But people have every right to play that way if they want.

      I'm glad to hear that it's working!

  18. are you going to do sex images, and if the answer is yes, are you going to put them for free or not?
    PD: how do you make your games? i mean, i know that you use rpg maker, but... do you do all the work?
    the dialogue I think is good, are you a writter oor something like that with experience?

    1. I still intend to add images once I find a good artist who can commit to a project of this length. TLS will always be Patreon-supported.

      I use RPG Maker VX Ace, and I have no other team members. I have commissioned character art, sprites, and in a few cases parallaxed maps. So while I don't make the visual resources, aside from that, all the work you see in the game is mine. Patrons help a lot with bugtesting, though.

      Thanks for the compliment! I was a writer before I started going games professionally. If you check out some other websites like Literotica you can find a lot of my more casual writing for free.

  20. I downloaded this game from somewhere four days ago, and quickly got to tthe end of that version. So, I looked it up, and downloaded the actual version. The game has been absolutely wonderful, and I reached the end of the current portion with my save at 38 hours. Holy crap, the game is amazing! Just as a game. Due to its nature, it has all kinds of humor and other things that might not make it through some corporate ordeal. It is like nothing else I have ever played, and is very well written.

    Oh, if you are concerned (which is unlikely, concerning the means of communication,) I had some time off due to a cold, and then the weekend came along, allowing me to play it through in such a manner. My schedule for the past couple of days has been wake up, eat, sleep some more, wake back up, play the game, have dinner, play the gme, watch some youtube, then go to sleep. I think there have been some games of Yahtzee! sprinkled in, too.

    Wow. Thank you so much for making a game like this. I can't imagine how long it has taken you to make, concerning it took me 38 hours to play to the current stop.

    My thanks again,
    "Merkeliod"

    2. Some website was hosting an old version of the game? Well, in this case I guess I should thank them for sending a new player my way. Glad you enjoyed the game so much. ^-^

      I've been working at this game for a while, and I'll be working until it's complete. Do check out the side bar for some of the other things I've been working on meanwhile, though. When working on one project this long, I like to change pace occasionally. There are some shorter but complete experiences there you might enjoy.

    3. Wanting a change of pace makes a heck of a lot of sense. I can't imagine working on anything for a long time without one. Thank you again. I'll definitely make sure to try them out!

  21. Greetings, it's been a while since i was last here (about version 14-15) due to being distracted by other things. I just finished the current version and the game continues to get better and better (though there are times you wish that all your harem members were as accepting as Qum).

    There was one spelling error that i noticed (well more like a grammatical issue then actual error), when talking to the the elven volunteer for the "forging ties" quest she refers to herself as "an herbalist" it should be 'a' not 'an'.

    Now that i'm up to date i'm looking forward to the next release (YAY furries) and wondering if there will be a conclusion to the Robin/Simon conversation in the current arc or when you get back?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 'An herbalist' is correct in Standard American English. The 'h' is silent, so the word starts with a vowel sound. I guess this might be different if you speak a UK dialect where the 'h' is pronounced, but the author is American.

      Delete
    2. Fair enough then i'm from Australia so yes we use the harsh 'h' sound similar to words like 'happy' or 'hero'.

      Delete
    3. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! The herbalist thing is indeed a difference between versions of English, but thanks for keeping an eye out.

      Regarding Robin/Simon, all I'll say is that you'll get resolution to their arc relatively soon.

  22. Hey, Sierra.

    I started a quest on Questionable Questing based on The Last Sovereign. I'm bad at naming things so I just used the old name, The Last Fucklord.

    Quests are essentially glorified interactive fanfiction, and if you're interested in following along or just having a gander I wanted to give you notice. It's NSFW obviously(though not quite yet), and the NSFW section of QQ requires an account, but I don't think the name Sierra Lee is taken there so it shouldn't be any real trouble.

    https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/the-last-fucklord-the-last-sovereign-quest.5108/

    I'd uh, be honored and embarrassed both, if you're interested. It's on the ground at the moment but it's only a few hours old, it'll pick up in the coming days as I close votes after 24 hours and continue the story.

    My e-mail is watchtheglassmelt@gmail.com if you want to contact me about any of this discretely, like wanting me to stop or anything. I know some authors don't like fanfics and this is pretty much that.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I have no problem with fanfiction provided people understand its legal status, which I would imagine people on QQ do. I don't know how much time I'd have to follow along, but I glanced at it. Seems like you're going to have an interesting time reworking game mechanics for a purer roleplay environment.

      Good luck with it!

    2. Thank you.

      I will definitely have an interesting time, in the chinese sense, attempting to make it a Quest.

      I likely won't do it justice at all, but once I'm done I'll do it again, and then again, until eventually I do something I hope to be proud of.

      The thread will be threadmarked so provided you read at an average speed, once every couple weeks you could pop in just to see where we were and how far off canon QQ had taken it, if you wanted an extra stroke or two to your ego.

      Thank you for the game, and I look forward to more of your work; I did buy Ouroboros, and I plan to buy further works as well although I do not actually patron your patreon.

  23. So which country are we going to go to war with first? Its going to be a important decision as Yhilin is in a very bad spot tactically as it is completely surrounded by other countries no metaphoric wall that they can keep their back up against. Unless you include the mountain range that separates them and the Incubus King which is only a partial comfort as the Incubus King has no clue what tactical decisions are so he may just order his army to go over the mountains even if it results in them getting scattered and losing some to the elements and whatever wild creatures live on them.
    We know Aram has the biggest army and because of its size and shape can attack from both the north and east we also know they can't support their huge army for much longer so they are going to have to fight someone eventually. Best way to deal with them would be to somehow manipulate a conflict between them and the Incubus King and then defeat them afterwords or while the fighting is still ongoing but it carries the slight risk of Ardoheim invading from the south but the Kings failing mind might prevent that, also we could end up with the Dwarves ether supporting or going against us as while they are basically part of Aram right now and their Queen did say in a letter they would support Aram but relations are bad because of Aram's actions as we saw in Megail's path so it might be possible to convince them to at least not support Aram or maybe even convince them to allow us to use their tunnels to surprise Aram's army from behind.
    Ardoheim would be an easier target since its army isn't as big as Aram plus their King's mind is in decline from looking into the "Tower" they also share a boarder with the Incubus King but war with them before Aram has the risk of Aram invading while the majority of the army is in Ardoheim.
    Long story short it looks like the logical decision would be to defeat Aram first even-though it would be the most difficult fight they already wanted a war before the Doom King so they are ready to fight at the slightest provocation best to take preemptive action of some sort.

    1. Love to see the speculation! Lots of people don't check the blog regularly, though, so if you're looking for discussion you might want to look at the wiki, too:
      http://thelastsovereign.wikia.com/wiki/TheLastSovereign_Wikia

    2. Have been using the wiki just not commenting on it a bunch but maybe that will change but while I have your ear I have some thoughts.

      1)As I pointed out to people on the wiki in one of the discussions you can always make more slots for future Harem members there is nothing preventing you from doing so after all and I personally believe you intended to add more slots later on.
      2)I hope you eventually give us a Lamia, a Draconic succubus and one of the harpy like women perhaps Biyue even.
      3)Hearing about the "mobile fortress" filled my head with images of Laputa and a thought came to me what better stronghold for Simon to rule from then a flying castle. Defeating other countries and also the cruel leaders of the world like Fucklord, The Incubus King(Emperor) and other nastiest that you perhaps haven't even revealed yet would probably be much easier with a moving castle would at least make logistics of supporting the army less of a nightmare. So even if it isn't a Laputa or if it gets destroyed know that just including something like that gave me great happiness from my imagination alone.
      4)Am I right in thinking we won't have to kill all the other shard holders I know Fucklord and the Incubus King(Emperor) both need to die 100% but the others don't seem especially cruel Lustlord just needs his ego deflated (a few good punches to the face or a lot of punches should fix that) as all his minions seem pretty happy under him so no need to cause them all unneeded distress by killing him if its not necessary just beating him and turning him into a vassal would be good enough for me. As for Xerces I kind of like him so unless he is up to some horrible secret stuff with his Theology research don't see a reason to kill him. The Lord of Blood I am fine with killing him if its the best way to get the "mobile fortress" (I really really want it but you already know that)

      I noticed this is going to be a massive game plus its high quality (its already bigger then many finished games) hope you are getting enough help with map design & construction and if you aren't hope you can find someone as having even one person helping you can really speed up the development of a RPGMaker game.

      Think that is all I have to say right now if I come up with more thoughts I will post here on you blog again.

    3. 1) Actually, the current number of slots is meant to give a general sense for the final harem size. It's not set in stone, however.

      2) I have a lot of love for less human characters. Won't say anything about future harem members, but you'll definitely get some scenes with characters like that!

      3-4) No comment, you'll have to find out via playing. ^-^

      Right now I'm the only core person working on the project, but I don't want to discount all the effort that fans put into debugging, custom sprites, and occasional coding.

    4. Wow only core person on the project I must admit that is pretty impressive based on your progress and the size so far. Well I truly do hope you can find someone who is worthy of being a more permanent member as it will take some of the work load off you (and also get all of us fans the game quicker) no ulterior motive what-so ever here lol.

    5. If there is a draconic succubi or lamia character in the future, I'm thinking they might be non-party, like Dari. We already have a succubi mage (Yarra), healer (Qum) and fighter (Nalili) so that covers the usual suspects already.

    6. RE: Mobile fortress, I was imagining a giant spider type fortress like the Mobile Fortress Destroyer in Konosuba. Hopefully without a self destruct like that one had.

      Delete
    7. I'm fine with them being non-party I just want them in the harem.
      Don't you think someone would notice a giant spider like thing walking around would be kind of hard to miss the tracks as well also going from continent to continent would be kind of an issue that is why I thought the Laputa would be better you could use illusion magic and everyone would just think its a cloud till surprise orcs and succubi raping your castle and the people in it without even having to deal with the defences.
