May 30 Update

Lots of different things this week.

TLS Comic: When I think of an idea I think is cute or funny, I generally put it into the game. Occasionally, however, I have an idea for the cast that isn't suited to the fundamental medium of game sprites/dialogue. This little comic with...

Don't Save the Princess 0.3.1 Public Release

This side project has been cooking for a long time, but it's finally time for another demo! You can play it here:

Patrons, this version has some im...

Finished Scene Art Set #18

With the huge block of Orgasmic Empire scenes done, we have been doing more bouncing around within the second chapter. Some affection scenes, some plot scenes, even Orcent x Kara (which breaks the pattern but we felt like doing).

Take a look at Carina's first time scene. We tried doing some...

May 23 Update

Please look at the partial OEA trailer! It took so much of my time, everybody needs to look at it. T-T Even hiring someone to make this, recording footage and coordinating was a lot more energy-consuming than I expected. The good news is that I tried to do everything, including for the parts of t...

May 16 Update

Still taking care of sundry business, but sadly this week it was a chore instead of enjoyable. So let's start with something nicer: another piece of fanart! Visible above or her...

Don't Save the Princess 0.3.0

Usually side projects are a $10 reward, but I'll make this one $5 as thanks for your continued support. ^-^

Some of you may not remember DStP. I started it years ago as an effort to div...

May 9 Update

First, look at the new Ulfina sprite! After a long wait, the pixel artist has completed her update (old version placed second so you can compare). This is our last chance to get changes without hiring someone new, so please look closely. For example, Ulfina's torso doesn't seem to have been edite...

Once Ever After 0.4.6

This update involved a ton of work, yet it's not that exciting. I'm putting it out to reduce duplicate reports, and so new patrons expressing interest can have a better experience. For anyone considering replaying, I'd suggest waiting until a later build. This one is mostly polish, fixes, and new...

May 2 Update

Weeks like this are really necessary for my creative well-being. I worked quite a bit, but instead of it being all toward one driving purpose, I was free to flit around between many different objectives. I feel much less behind now, so let me do all the normal update stuff, plus give an account o...

April 25 Update

Based on messages from people, these seem to be difficult times. So many people struggling with illness, depression, or anhedonia. I'm glad that my work can be a little bright spot for some of you, but for everyone else, I'll keep working on content for when you want to come back.

I'm a bit...

TLS 0.56.2 Public Release

New version is public, hopefully with all the final reports fixed:

https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2021/04/tls-0562-public-release.html

Not much to s...

April 18 Update

New TLS update is out for $5 backers. Feedback has been pretty positive so far, but I haven't really gotten many bug reports, so I'm going to hold off on 0.56.1 and make it an overall polish update.

Now, I do have lots of maps and stuff for feedback, but first look at the lovely Qum above! ...

TLS 0.56.0 Release

UPDATE: Quick link for 0.56.1, hopefully including everything reported so far. Ideally this would be the public update, but if you play around in it and notice anything, let me know!

April 11 Update

Usually when I give two possible dates, I can hit the earlier one, but... not this time. The content that I wanted to release on Friday is only now finished, and it's barely tested. I'm okay with letting early players handle some testing, but not this much.

There's a silver lining: I get to...

April 4 Update

Lots of stuff going on, but I won't bury the lede: TLS 0.56.0 will hopefully be coming out next weekend. My attention has been more fractured than normal the past few weeks, but I have been able to work on it, and many things came together this week.

It's not completely certain. I ...

March 28 Update

The beginning of 2021 has been surprisingly clear for me, allowing me to focus on work... I'm afraid that time has come to an end, because I'm getting hit from all sides. Nothing unmanageable, just a busier schedule than I'd want and assorted time/energy drains. I'm glad I could mostly finish off...

Once Ever After 0.4.5

Though not the final version, this is a pretty decent polish build. More QoL changes, lots of typos fixed, more balance tweaks. Unless a new error has been introduced, I intend to let the game sit in this state for a while.

Finished Scene Art Set #17: Oops, All Estheras!

Big new set! Usually I try to select a varied combination, both in characters and content, but this one came out unusual. We transitioned from Phase 2 to Phase 3 at a time when I was really absorbed in other work, so Annikath took it on herself to do all the Orgasmic Empire scenes, since we'd alr...

March 21 Update

This week was divided into thirds: partly working on TLS 0.56.0, partly ongoing OEA improvements, partly other business stuff I'd put off during my more intense focus. The last is mostly done, I'm feeling on top of things. As for OEA, I could have put out a 0.5.5, but though much more has been do...

March 14 Update

Most likely, work on OEA won't stop abruptly, it will taper off over a period of time. There are also a number of things I don't want to do, like get screenshots, update the Steam page, and see about a trailer. The plan was to taper the final OEA work out over a longer period while work on TLS 0....

Once Ever After 0.4.4

New weekend, new build, new thread. This isn't a final polish release, but multiple people have finished the game now, so I wanted to put out a release with all their feedback taken into account. I'm actually still expecting some quite heavy feedback from a few people, so 0.4.5 or so should be th...

March 7 Update

The Once Ever After release is moving along. Wearyingly so, but I'm doing the best I can. $10 backers, I just uploaded a version 0.4.3, so feel free to check that out. If this clears up the Red Arena issue, a pretty la...

Once Ever After 0.4.3 (Full Plot Release)

It's finally time! This release lets you play the game beginning to end: there are some placeholder maps, and I hope to improve various elements, but this version will offer a complete experience.

NOTE: If you are playing on a previous version, please switch your saves to 0.4.2+ before play...

February 28 Update

The big OEA release wasn't this weekend, but it will be the next. For now, have a screenshot of the gallery, teasing all the finished scenes in the game.

The wait isn't an issue of content not being done, most of it is finished. It isn't a lack of testing, though given all the changes it co...

Finished Scene Art Set #16: Double Set

It looks like I missed one of these sets? February has been intense. Anyway, here are pretty pictures for you, but I'll also have a little request for any artistic patrons who want to help me a bit.

What to say about this set? We have a SFW scene in the batch, the first moment when Wendis i...

February 21 Update

I've been having a string of good weeks, which is nice. Two separate things to bring up for feedback this time.

OEA Progress/Maps

First, please look at the maps and provide any feedback you want. This time there's actually a choice I'd like you to vote on: ...

February 14 Update

Two items of business, then a content post.

1) I'm participating in a big "Lusty Hearts Lewd Bundle" with a number of other devs. I joined these just as part of my obligatory marketing efforts, but th...

February 7 Update

EDIT: I'm updating this one because I put the wrong date on it the first time! Lots of new material here, please take a look and comment if you have thoughts.

Couple of things this week! With TLS 0.55.x finally out for all players, I'm looking forward. I was this past week, I jus...

TLS 0.55.4 Public Release

The newest version is available to everyone now! Check the blog for links:

https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2021/02/tls-0554-public-release.html 

Patrons, p...

January 31 Update

Because I was preparing this update, I didn't have an email sent about TLS 0.55.4. Notably, I don't know if $1 backers got a notification, but you should be able to access it as well.

This one is largely cleanup....
