TLS 0.31.0 Released!

New update for patrons! Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.

TLS 0.31.0
 - Three brand new nations: New Givini, the Chalice States, and Tak'Kan
 - Free travel: access opened to nearly every nation on Arclent
 - Conclusion of the party gathering quest
 - New plot dungeon
 - Two new plot scenes
 - New round of investment returns
 - 25+ new investment opportunities
 - Unrestricted ability to convert ProN to Sx
 - Enemies have regenerated around the world

This is a really broad update and honestly I'm kind of stretched thin. But this one is definitely going public, since it ties together the basebuilding stuff, lets you progress the main quests, and advances the story. I'm just not sure when. Either in one week, or in two weeks with more content added. I wanted to add more sex scenes, for example, but ran out of time.

Will keep it short for now and get back to work.

  1. two weeks?! AHHH! Sierra Lee you shot me right through the heart! Though my budget will not currently allow it, hopefully i can send some $$$ to your patreon page soon! you certainly deserve it for the work that you do here. :)

    Also, for some reason, i cannot post with my other account; if i did something to deserve being blocked, then i apologize profusely; as it was not my intent. Nor is it my intent to rush you. Encouragement and enthusigasms only!

    1. Thanks for your enthusiasm! I want to get the update out as soon as possible too, but I don't want to do it before it's polished.

      I don't know what your other account is, so I can't comment on that. I don't usually block people on Blogspot, though.

    2. Was the "Enthusigasms" done purposely? If yes, XD, if not, XD.

    3. @Sierra Lee - no problem, it's probably a browser issue with the new Mozilla on my end.

      @unknown - yes. it's a new word. Let the whole world know! Share your enthusigasms with EVERONE!!!

    1. If you're starting a save from the waiting room after the war, you should have no problems at all!

  4. No need to rush things now, Sierra. People have waited this long, they can endure one more week if necessary. Better to make it right and take a bit longer. Anyone who is fed up with waiting for a new patch can donate a bit and play the patreon version. No problem.

  6. Hello there,

    Tried to launch the game (Linux : OpenSuse) :
    Cache:106:in `initialize': No such file or directory - Graphics/Faces/Megail emo, Errno::ENOENT
    from Cache:106:in `new'
    from Cache:106:in `normal_bitmap'
    from Cache:91:in `load_bitmap'
    from Cache:45:in `face'
    from Window_Base:381:in `draw_face'
    from Lone Wolf: Scene Replay:474:in `block in set_faces'
    from Lone Wolf: Scene Replay:473:in `each_index'
    from Lone Wolf: Scene Replay:473:in `set_faces'
    from Lone Wolf: Scene Replay:461:in `update'
    from Scene_Base:95:in `block in update_all_windows'
    from Scene_Base:93:in `each'
    from Scene_Base:93:in `update_all_windows'
    from Scene_Base:49:in `update_basic'
    from Scene_Base:41:in `update'
    from Scene_Base:14:in `main'
    from SceneManager:23:in `run'
    from Main:8:in `block in '

    Then, the game is launched, stay black, and cant be interacted with. Not sure what's happening.

    1. Please report bugs on Patreon.

      Having said that, the bug is related to the scene replay script and may occur if you aren't using the newest version.

  7. Can't seem to get past the headquarters. I've talked with everyone but Robin keeps saying I need to have a meeting before using the teleport chamber. What am I missing?!

    1. There's a discussion of save incompatibility on Patreon and a workaround version already available.

      I really wish you guys wouldn't come here and rub this in my face. =/

  8. "- Free travel: access opened to nearly every nation on Arclent - Unrestricted ability to convert ProN to Sx

    This looks amazing, I don't know the last time I had such entusiasm waiting for something.

    1. I've been promising we'd get to this stage in the plot for a while, I'm glad people seem to be enjoying the free travel!

      Delete
    2. Really looking forward to playing it when it goes public!

      Though, please tell me this isn't going to keep track of how much time we waste travelling, like at the beginning of chapter 2 in the stineford area. I don't want to be punished for exploring every area again.

      Delete
    3. No worries, you can travel as much as you like without penalty!

  9. I have a question regarding investments. Will we be able to do the investments we missed in the house of petitions in the next chapter? I know you said we could do investments we missed but did not think think that would apply to the ones we managed in percentages :(
    Anyway, I really love the work you've done so far and hope you will have an awesome holiday this year!! You deserve it! :*

    1. Right now, you CAN do the ones from the slums HoP, but can NOT invest in the ones from the main HoP.

      Anyway, thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoy the game!

    1. I know not every body it what i ask but for someone like i need it i have with all the different folder i made a total of 273 save for this game and it take me a looooog time to find the one i want maybe a diary can be a good idea where every choice made is say.)

    2. By the way totaly out of topic after TLS do you plan to to anoter long and complexe game like this?

      Delete
    3. Yes, it's easy to accumulate a ton of saves with this game! Unfortunately, it's not easy to add an option to name or comment your individual saves. The save system isn't built for it.

      When TLS is complete, I will probably want to take a break with a shorter game or two. But then I will do another big project, I really like long and complex games!

  11. One week and still no 31.2. Have you got so good you released a perfect update on the first try or you no longer have time to fix it?

    1. This one had more bugs than usual due to the scope. From the above post:
      "But this one is definitely going public... I'm just not sure when. Either in one week, or in two weeks with more content added."

      I have been adding content. A public 0.31.3+ will be out on the 22nd.

      Delete
    2. If it means more content i can wait two weeks

      Delete
    3. I've been adding new pieces each version, and 0.31.4 should have even more!

    1. You're correct, it would be better if such information wasn't spread.

      Right now, nothing is changing.

    1. The most recent public version can be downloaded here:
      https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2017/09/tls-0293-public-release.html

      The most current version is currently patron-only. However, if you want to start the game, the first many hours are the same, so you can use the above link.

  14. Have you ever seen that meme of that anime lady saying: Im aroused, but not amused. ? Well, i can say for sure that in this game i am less aroused than i am amused, the game is fantastic and i have been devoting hours of my days to completing it, although as i dont have a way to support any patreons, whenever i can i will definetly put you on my number one spot. For curiosity purposes i have downloaded the version 0.31.1 and played on it and i cant wait to be able to support you and get the full updated game without this small ache at the back of my head knowing that you guys have worked so hard on something that im just taking for free for some days of my amusement. Regardless, i wish you all a good cristmass and i hope to have enough time (and patience as i had to have a lot of that on this game :P) to play your other games as well. ͜^^ (cant line up the goddamn smile so ill just leave it that way >:3 )

  15. Loved the game. I do have 1 question though. Why did Simon and gang teleport o the outskirt in Yhilin and the palace in Zirantia? It kinda didn't make any sense to do it like that, at least, the way I see it. It would make more sense if the teleport point for Yhilin is in the palace( Maybe using the former basement point?) and for Zirantia, Wynn's house or NUP headquarter since I doubt Zirantia's current rulers gave permission to Simon to teleport inside their palace directly, unless there is any other justification I failed to see. Anyway, great game, cant wait to see the progress and Happy Holyday

    1. Basically, I tried to pick central locations based on their convenience to the player. Now that everyone has moved out of the palace except Janine, teleporting in there would actually be a little more out of the way. For Zirantia, I hope it will be justified by future events that require access to the palace.

      The positioning is arguable, but that's my reasoning, anyway!
