*Requires RPG Maker VX Ace RTP to be installed. If you don't know what that means, use the RTP link.

TLS 0.48.2
 - Further bugfixes, minor dialogue additions.
 - Optional battle further nerfed.
 - Quest log updated to include recent events.

I hope everyone enjoys this return to Eustrin! I think the one thing I want to mention is that in the middle of this update, there's an optional fight that's proved fairly challenging. Please feel free to leave it for later if you're not enjoying it.

As mentioned in the game, the next update will be the first open world segment in Chapter 5, and it will be a lot of work. It's my next priority, however, and should come out before I spend time on any of my other projects.

  1. Thank you so much for the update Sierra, I love it!
    I'd love to see Tertia speaking with Alonon so they can hate sex together xD

    1. Glad you enjoyed it! Getting Tertia and Alonon in the same room would make for an interesting conversation, if someone managed to convince them to talk to each other. ^-^

  2. Just in time for the weekend.

    Something to do while I mindlessly farm a different game on my phone. XD

    Looking forward to what this update brings.

    Also, a little late but Happy New Year Sierra!!

  3. a minor one here the skittering spider show up even if i haven't killed all the other spiders because of that if i kill the skittering spider teleports us back nerada will say thanks i went back in the cave but if i kill the remaining one riala will say more came at the south but there arent any more or are there more enemies?

    1. Ah, the problem is that the boss appears one spider too early. Riala's lines were supposed to appear after you killed all the others, so you can ignore them.

  4. I don't know if i a too low level or bad choice bad character but i find the combat against the 2 node enemy in lone path too hard

    1. A party with Vhala, Robin and Qumm should be a good choice as the right one is weak against Ice, Sex and Anti-Sex. They are tough if you prolong the fight but manageable if you use Simon to keep the party alive, Qum to buff/Sex attacks and Robin and Vhala taking down the right one ASAP. A more detailed strategy will be added to the Bosses wiki page.

      Delete
    2. Also, one of the Nodes will deal heavy damage to characters who have lots of DEF or MDF but little of the other. Balanced equipment may do better for that boss.

      Delete
    3. I beat them with a party of Simon, Varia, Carina and Robin. Simon switched between back-up healing/rezzing and hitting the left node with Incubus Strike, Varia focused on the left node with Blood Strike, Robin focused on Ice Lancing the right node, and Carina did her normal healing thing.

    1. Nope, sorry. The game engine version (RPG Maker Vx Ace) only supports Windows.

  6. In case that it affects the Steam release, the text in the window still says The Last Sovereign 0.48.1 instead of 0.48.2 as it should.

    1. It's a visual-only bug and the Steam release will have it too, as I don't want to recompile just for that.

      Delete
    2. That makes sense (I have no idea that you needed to recompile to change that).

  8. Anyone have tips for how to beat these damn spiders? Fire is effective and I can beat the pairs, but all my mages eat shit before doing enough damage to the trios

    1. I brought Hilstara and Carina to all the fights then Holy Shieldwall to draw the attacks to Hilstara. You could try that.

  9. Another great update!
    You are one of the few developers who can make all fighting a fun challenge.

    I have quick question about quest "A New Live"
    Although I gained "Demonic Seed" (I can see it in my inventory) my quest journal says that I don't have it (text is white, not green). Is it normal or bug?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. To be honest, I'm not sure. It's entirely possible that the way you got the seed didn't include the quest log command. In any case, it's a visual-only bug.

      Delete
  10. One question - I talked to Galvia and got a lead towards a subquest to help the Dwarves with their Sx defenses, but couldn't do so at that time. I ended up being locked in the tower sequence before I remembered to go back and check on her - will that quest still be active in the next section?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That quest can't be completed in this section, so you haven't missed anything :-)

  12. A couple tiny bugs (probably) I discovered on replay:
    - In Third Arclent War, start of Yarra infiltration mission, Yarra seems to be able to walk on top of a thing she's probably not supposed to (see screenshot at https://imgur.com/eBjLH5n)

    - In beginning of Chapter 4, (before reuniting with anyone else) I go immediately to the Premium Steel. Lynine is present there, even though she's not been reunited with us yet. Similarly with Vhala (if we've invested in Premium Steel).

    More generally, Lynine and Orilise are always present there once I've met them, even when I've NOT bought or invested in Premium Steel (unlike other characters) -- I don't know if that's necessarily a bug, perhaps as foreign leaders they're given the VIP treatment and offered a tour even if you're not investors... :-)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Thanks for the bug reports! They're fixed except for Lynine and Orilise - their presence is part of their tour of comments around Ari-Yhilina after they join you.

      Delete
  13. Alright, I am beyond frustrated at the moment and could really use a hint or two.

    Just how in the world are you supposed to take down the Skittering spider?

    Going full turtle doesn't work, since either Hilstara's taunt straight up doesn't work (seriously, it's so unreliable I can't help but wonder if it's bugged), or she dies before I can buff/debuff enough. And even if I get to that point, once the Skittering spider does the big AoE status effect attack, it's basically game over. And even if you get through that, you just don't do enough damage and sooner or later an unlucky string of hits will take out a party member, at which point the party's over.

    Yet going on the offensive doesn't work for more than two turns either, because of the silly amount of damage the spiders put out. Before my mages even get a turn, they're usually already dead.

    Are you even supposed to be able to take on these things? So far we've had some hard fights, but this is probably the first time I actually think a fight might be over-tuned. Pretty much my entire party is rocking the best gear they can get, and I've done all the optional content I could up until now, so I doubt it's a problem of being underleveled or undergeared.

    1. Short version: buff your defences and debuff their attack, be ready to revive in the early rounds, and always attack the weak one.

      Long version: you want a good spread of healing, buffing, debuffing, and reviving skills, plus some offensive skills (fire and anti-sex). One good team for this is Simon (reviving, healing, one-time buff), Vhala (debuffs, anti-sex), Carina (reviving, healing, buffs), and Robin (healing, fire). You need two revivers, in case one of them gets taken out.

      The key is to keep everyone alive in the first few rounds while getting some buffs/debuffs applied (Defensive Rain is useful because it debuffs all enemies). You'll likely need to do a bit of reviving at first, but if you alway focus your fire on the weakest spider, that will reduce the amount of damage you take as quickly as possible.

    2. That's exactly what I've been doing, but it's so dependent on RNG that it takes out all the fun.

      Guess I'll just keep rolling the dice, then...

      Delete
    3. You have no idea how lucky you are to be fighting the 48.2 version. The original was not jokingly, 10 times harder.

      Delete
  14. I feel like I want to pledge to get rid of the generic look-alike NPC portraits, but at the same time I don't have 50 bucks lying around. If the "Young Simon" NPC / "Beardless(?) Simon" NPC portraits could be changed to something else, that would be nice. Actually, which portraits are original and which ones come from RPGMaker?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Most minor NPCs are default or from an official set. Many characters are edits of RTP or other resources, and of course some are unique to the project.

      You're wanting to replace the NPCs that Simon was based off? I actually chose a generic-looking face for him to establish him as a "non-protagonist" in the prologue, but you're also not the first person to find this an issue for them.

      Delete
  15. So I decided to give this a try and now several dozen hours later.. I want more! I am honestly in love with the world and characters and really am looking forward to how it continues.

  18. Ah yes, cant wait to make more stupid decisions that will fuck up things when the big events happen. Can some decisions events be overturned eventually (like Arclent's acceptance of succubi and Sarai not becoming part of the harem)? Or am I stuck with that until the end of the game. I feel like im asking for spoilers.
    Also, is there a full body charachter portrait for everyone in the harem somewhere(besides those that are fought at some point)? I want to make fanart but imagining the pants/dresses/robes charachters wear is kinda hard. Ever since I met Aka Ive imagined her as pretty much wearing Yuffie Kisaragi's clothes.
    Thanks for all your work. The Last Sovereign was for me my best game of the year last year, and despite being kind of hard to explain, I talked about it to my friends.

    1. Most of the big decisions at Gawnfall are permanent. A few will only have minor impacts, and you'll have another chance for Sarai to join later.

      Almost none of the characters have full body portraits, sorry. A few of them are getting official outfits in the upcoming CGs. Fanart is welcome in any case! I'm glad you've enjoyed playing it. ^-^

  19. Just wanted to say that this is one of my all time favorite adult games out there. The 18+ scenes are tied in with Simon being an Incubus King; they advance the plot and it doesn't feel forced. The world building is detailed and thought out, there's different sides to the game such as investing, army building, relationship management, maps packed with details, etc. Probably the best thing I like about it is the choices Simon can make and how every choice has a visible consequence. It's a very immersive experience since you feel like you're interacting with the setting. Overall, a very good game I'd gladly buy once it comes out.

  20. you are amazing ! this game is breathtakingly beautiful, grinded on it for 130+ hours in. a. row (sleep not included though). the subtle mechanics, the impact of every single choice you make, how you managed to make every single harem girl unique and worth her place in the harem..i just can't express how much i like the game. thank you so much, i hope we'll continue to see it grow. and yes i did put a review on steam , you deserve much more

  21. Hi,
    Came across your patreon and I want to say your work is amazing. I have a lot of fun playing the game and it really shows the amount of work is in it. I also am writing this as I came across a bug and just want to let you know. Not sure if you know either but for Yarra, when she uses the Haze of Sex, it crashes the game.

    1. Glad you enjoy the game! As for the bug, hmm, that one could be tricky. Does it happen every single time you have Yarra try to use Haze of Sex? Are there any other circumstances that cause it to crash?

      Delete
    2. Hey there, Yeah it happens every time. I tested it out for you and on different battles of when and where. It's mostly just when I activated the Haze of Sex skill. That's about it so far

    3. I can't replicate this one, so either there's something corrupt in your installation or your save has encountered a brand new bug. Could you please upload your save to the wiki so people there can check for me? I'm a bit swamped trying to get the next release finished!

  22. Just reached the end, and damn, it was not at all what I expected.

    Was just browsing for a random RPG maker game on steam to ease my boredome a tiny bit, and at first I thought it was a rather generic one as I normally expect, but with 'sex scenes'. That is...until the real story started. And it just kept getting better, and better, and better. I don't even know how many days I spend on this so far.

    Keep up the good work, and good fuck.

    1. If you don't mind the suggestion, you should try Ouroboros next. It's a short but (in my very biased opinion) great game. It's very different from TLS but pretty charming nevertheless.

      Delete
    2. I also propose Skul the Hero Slayer, UnderHero and Dungeon Munchies for games where you play as the "bad guys" to save the world. A shame that this genre isn't more developped.

      If anyone knows of games where you play as "evil" to save the world, let me know !!! It's one of my kink. I quite like this quote of Spike from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" about this :
      - We like to talk big... vampires do. "I'm going to destroy the world !!!" That's just tough-guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You've got...dog racing, Manchester United. And you've got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here.-

      I can suggest more games with awesome story if you're interested.

  23. Hello! I just found the game this patch and am loving it so far. I have a bug to report. Altina spoke up during the "Yarra pesters the enchanter until he skips town" sidequest in Stenai (specifically, when he's looking out over the ocean) despite the fact that she's not present in my playthrough at all.

    Also, another much more dire bug; I wasn't able to give the Cumdump head pats during the conversation with a child in the merchant camp. This has left both of us with deep emotional wounds that may never truly heal. 0/10, unplayable!

    1. Glad you're enjoying it! I checked that dialogue and that one is flipped so Altina only speaks if she ISN'T in the party. Fixed, thanks!
