  1. I really enjoyed this update, as always. I've realized that I enjoy split party fights like the one near the end because otherwise there's a few party members that I rarely use, and especially this design for the fights allows extra opportunity to be strategic in the party composition.

    I have to say though: I'm a little disappoint on Yarra's behalf LOL.

    1. Yeah, it's not a mechanic I use very often, but I think it's fun to have the entire party play a role from time to time. Glad you enjoyed this one!

      As for Yarra, never fear. ^-^

  2. If you check Sabitha on the Harem Tab the game crashes, at least for me

    1. Typo in the file name. -_- Thanks for the report, but reuploading in so many places just for that... not now, anyway.

      Delete
  3. Nice new chunk!

    Also, BUG REPORT! In the waiting room at the end, looking at the various harem members, trying to look at Sabitha's pops an error that crashes the game.

    "Unable to find file:

    Error ocurred, check the debug console for more information."

  4. Oh my goodness, the newly illustrated scenes are excellent! I quite loved how Qum's was so perfectly suited to her way of looking at the world :3

    The other three were wonderful sights to see as well but Qum's was a fun surprise ^^

  5. So, you gonna spend two months in "That" how it gonna be?
    A world update and then "that", a "pre-that" update and then "that", or two months in "that"?

    I say "that" for the sake of the spoilers.

    1. The plan is two months fully devoted to the new event.

    2. Are we going to enter directly to it next month then?

    3. There will be some preliminary stuff, but by the next update we'll be into it. Not sure when it will come out, given my schedule.

    4. Then I will wait, but it makes me happoy to have another that that I hope to be satisfied, because its frustrating to be in 7-8 position on the list.By the way Im gonna work on an hospital and I am discouraged, the covid is hitting hard, and I dont want to catch it...

  6. I knew that 'she' would be the final party harem member

    As for Sabitha... She was so unexpected that the game crashed

    Jokes aside, it's time for a Gathering and oh boy... hopefully there won't be an Incubus King that will die because of incompetence

  7. ************ S P O I L E R S **************

    I enjoyed this update a lot, some great writing and plenty to be excited about for future updates!

    Looking forward to how the dynamic between Ginasta and Simon will work in the future, interesting that Simon would be the "Terrible Warmth", I guess this means even the concept of order thinks Simon is terribly hot ;)

    Can't believe Sabitha just waltzed into Uyae's territory and took one of her favourite chewing toys, I hope they can be friends but if she also decides to start hogging Varia, I think we're gonna have a problem.

    Also, about the new gathering, I was curious about what would our event be, but then it hit me, this is something you have been planning for a long time, finally all the pieces of the puzzle came together, clearly the event we will be hosting during the gathering will be a game of Simon Says!

    Or... maybe it will be a game of Simon (memory game)?

    Maybe you will leave it up to player choice between the two, with drastic changes to relationship points among the harem and profound implications for the future of the TLS world.

    1. Thanks for giving all your thoughts! I'm glad you enjoyed this one.

      Your guess is correct in every respect except one: the game is going to end with the pun, then a rimshot, then credits.

  8. "the game is gonna end with a pun"... I still laugh at the items description

    ReplyDelete
  9. Sabitha is cute ^^ Imagining her gwnawing on Aka is just so adorable~~ Can we get an art of this please ?

    So the harem menu is slowly unveiling itself !!! I can guess who will appears if all goes well (which never happens XD) Funny how the last members except 2 all have a name which ends with an A ^^

    A platonic link... Reminds me of Robin ^^ Anyway, while in the harem, she will learn to enjoy "the soft warm you'll wrapp around the world"

    And now 4 questions !!!

    1. Under which category Wynn's memory magic can be classified ? (you know, sumoning, conjuring, etc)

    2. If there are low exchanges between the continents, how did Clentian develop simultaneously AND similarly on them ?

    3. How long is a demon lifespawn ? What is their ratio lust/purity ?

    4. How is the World's mana generated and distributed ? When and how did it first appeared ? Is there an era before the "schizophrenic ultra god explosion" when it didn't exist ? (TLS is our future.... Sierra is a Messiah XD)

    1. Lots of character moments make me want to do more art, but I don't want it to get out of hand! I'm glad people like Sabitha. ^-^

      1) What category system are you using? In TLS terms, memory magic is its own category of arcane.

      2) I believe the timeline will show that they've had trade for quite a few years now.

      3) The answer to both is "immensely variable". There are demons that rampage for a day and some that drift inert for centuries.

      4) Mana has always been an elemental component of their world. Consider it comparable to wind patterns, shifting but omnipresent.

      Delete
    2. Any chance for non sexual CG? For example a CG for when Simon fights the Incubus Emperor.

      Delete
    3. There will be some, yes! Janine has a SFW wedding scene, for example, and the option is always open for something important. But since there will be a huge number of standard CGs, we intend to focus on those.

      Delete
    4. Oh, I was talking about Disciplines of Magic. So it is a Discipline on its own ? Why haven't seen more users of it ?

      Delete
    5. It's advanced and hard to get right, mostly the domain of cranks or eccentrics.

  10. Here is a simplish fix.
    1.Download a Decompiler
    2. Decompile anf Delete the rgss encrypted archive
    3. Move the folders to your game folder
    4. Go to Graphics-> Pictures Folder and Rename SabithaH to Sabitha H.png
    Here is the decompiler.

  11. Uhh, I think I found a comedic bug!
    After bashing the Lustlord nodes and acting out all the best characterinteractions alone in my room to feel the epic scenes unfold before my eyes I came to the ending screen. I just wanted to check my relationshippoints and the new harem entries and as soon as I clicked on the last tab where sabitha and ... I dont remember who else was in, because the Game crashed emediatly on me.
    Then I load my last savegame and I noticed that in this one I am again setting up to bash the fucklord nodes ....
    XD
    Ahh welp.

    So I can try to reproduce the bug and write you the error message down that I receive. With saving short before obviously.

    Hope this helps you alreadfy, Siearra.

    Btw, Kudos.
    I Sriously enjoyed the conversation wbetween sabitha and Aka - they were cute and heartfelt.
    And Simon and Ginasta was so long held of, I inserted body language, movements to the room, tone of voice and emotions - and some symbolism in their postures in the beginning of the conversation to their postures in the end of it. I even believe that some oof these could be animated to a degree with the simple methods of the RPG maker. But they are work. So if you want I could write you a little script of how in my head the sprites could move at which points during the conversation to try to communicate how I perceived them.


    Oh, btw for the update 50 I had technical issues woth blocksport and could not write my feedback. I mainly want to forward this complaint to Yarra, if you could please pass it on:
    "OH, so Orcent and Vhala are 'JUST ALLIES'?!? WHAT DO YOU EVEN MEAN, YARRA?! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY WITH THAT? o.O"
    My original message was several sentences longer, but my anger died off a bit in the last 4 months XD

    PEACE and health to you and your family in these times, Sierra

  12. Hi Sierra, I am playing through 0.52 right now and I gotta say, its been a real masterpiece. I don't even like RPGmaker games, really, but I am really enjoying my experience. The writing, the characters, the grand designs and the small sidequests, all of it is really high quality. I haven't been this eager to play a game in awhile - even triple A games don't grab my interest the way The Last Sovereign is. I'm actually starting to somewhat dread playing farther (at the start of chapter 4) because I know it'll end soon and I don't want it to end.

    One thing I really really enjoyed about your game in particular is that in between the grand designs and the really well written politics and fun economic ideas is that you also don't lose sight of your characters. Among all this war and politics your characters also make time to interact and grow themselves, and that's also a very unique pleasure that I think very few games do properly nowadays.

    I do have some ideas for future side content - these are just suggestions, things I'd like to see and which I think would be fun to watch, in case you were looking for something new:

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 1) Succubus Orphan - While wandering through the chalice states, the party comes across a Succubi child who is being bullied by other children. After talking with the crying child and her tormentors, you find out that she is an orphan and her parents died in the Third Arclent War. Qum is uncharacteristically melancholy upon hearing this. You mediate between her and her tormentors and leave.

      Cut to later, Qum talks over her sadness with other members of the harem. It turns out that seeing a young child alienated and alone in the world struck a chord with her. She eventually asks Simon to take the orphan in. When the orphan is asked whether she wants to join, she is pathetically grateful to escape her current circumstances.

      Upon moving in, the orphan is shy at first, but soon shows a wide mischievous streak. She begins having a wide variety of actions with the harem. The orphan is curious and friendly towards humans/elves, becomes a miniature orc tyrant, and cultivates an unlikely bond with Vhala and Dari - since she is too young, her sexual senses are not yet active and she is not as repelled by them as most Succubi are. The only problems are her interactions with the Succubi, as she is constantly torn between fearful shyness and desperation for their affection and acceptance.

      2) Investment - "A Shot of Qum" - If you did Qum's research before the Third Arclent War, Nalili and Qum get together and offer you a research opportunity. They want to create a milder beverage form of the bomb Qum used and sell it at bars for profit. It has a small startup cost, but Megail expresses doubt as to how much it will sell. The first return is pitifully low, but after that it catches fire in the Chalice States and Orgasmic Empire and the returns start to skyrocket. If you go into bars with Succubi some of them will start raving about this incredible new drink... but in the third person. If you've done the national succubus trade investment, returns on the second round increase by a lot. Chaya will call you and request a few crates of it in a discreet manner. She lets it drop that the Empress loves it but is too embarrassed to admit it. Vhala will try it and pretend to get drunk and talk in the third person in order to fuck with Nalili and Yarra.

      3) Doom King's Palace Upgrade - the Elven Gardens - Lynine will start to get restless, as if something's missing, and pulls Orilise aside. They eventually get a proposal together and talk about making a small set of gardens in the palace with Simon. They will maintain them with elven magic. Yarra chimes in that she wants lots of discreet bushes and hedges for people to engage in sexytimes, Robin mentions that she would like some space to grow alchemical ingredients, Uyae suggests a grove for meditation, Carina wants a little spot set aside for a shrine to Ivala, etc. In the end, you are given the option to create a garden for pron, and then given the choice to upgrade it afterwards. Each of the upgrades will unlock some cutscenes with your party members. For example, after the hedges upgrade Simon might catch Hilstara molesting some succubi in there. After the meditation grove upgrade, Vhala and Simon might meet there for some tea and talk about Wynn. Also, each upgrade will increase the hospitality or magic rating of the house.


      ---

      Again these are not demands, just some suggestions I thought you might enjoy. If you find anything worth keeping from them, feel free to use them. If you don't have the time or attention for them right now, I won't be offended in the slightest.

    2. Thanks for playing, and for caring enough to offer all your thoughts. ^-^ You're not quite at the end yet, as all of the fourth chapter is complete.

      I don't really take player requests, but I do listen when people offer suggestions. The idea of Qum creating a drink is very cute indeed.

  13. Hi Sierra, I gotta ask, what was your first RPG Adult game?

    For me it was Monster Girl Quest, which can be resumed in 3 words : Surprisingly Good Story.

    It revealed to me that light can blind & darkness isn't always bad, and that hero and villain aren't as absolute as a concept that what child stories made it to be.

    It also opened up for me the gates of video-games and mangas, and set my cute waifu parameters on Tsundere Monster Girls, thanks to Alice XD

    3. It is an app that plays many rpgm versions and renpy not ports. I want to made sure I can say the name here and there site I found it. I know some places frown on that. Also I love the art work it is amazing.

    5. It is called joiplay. The have a github and I found it on f95. You install the app and download the rpgm add-on and follow the directions to use. I was able to use the exe from you to start the game and it unpacked it. Super easy to use.

    6. How you do it? I've been trying to play it on joiplay but it said the game is not supported. Can you give me a link where you found the directions on how to properly install the game?

    7. You have to unpackage the exe file on pc first then download the folder to your android. That's what I did.

  16. One bug and one tweak.

    Bug : Your stennai warrior image in battle is a floating cloak. I know you fight them as the people blocking feremina's letters but I think I saw them as floating cloaks before too.

    Tweak: In gasm falls there's a succubus blocking the door of a house on the right that I'm assuming we can't go in but she is permanently staring at a closed door instead of facing forward.

  19. I came into this game expecting to be bored in an hour like most other games, but ended spending 30 hours playing and I’m starting to suspect I’m only halfway through the current update. I love this game.

  20. Finally got around to finishing this update. Maaaaan! What a great bossfight at the end. I'm not that optimized with my leveling and equipment, so I was pretty tempted to only fight four, but I'm glad I persisted. My whole world changed when I realized that Carina and Hilstara could solo tagteam a wave by themselves. I love that combo sooo much. And i really liked that this boss fight made me feel like there was a payoff to not neglecting any of my party members.

    Only regret is that I typically don't carry around spare gear, so my "new party member" was a little poorly equipped.

    All in all, SO much fun! Looking forward to the next update!
