Thinking back over these update posts, I feel like I've been more negative than positive. I guess the difficulties are more salient when I'm putting posts together, as I'm usually thinking about what I need to work on, not what's going well or already done.

So as a counterbalance, let me say that I've also spent plenty of time working with a big stupid grin on my face. ^-^ There are tons of momentous pieces in the final battle, from dramatic to silly, that I'm looking forward to everyone experiencing. Not a ton of sex content for obvious reasons, but there is a crazy sex scene, because how can we not include that element in a game like this?

I put in long hours at work, but that's because I truly love TLS and this job. All of you have supported me this far and I can't thank you enough or ever really repay what you've given. This is the best thanks I have to offer: the final battle update should be released this Friday.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it's almost that time, after so many updates of progress and your mix positivity and negativity, it's crazy to see it finally happen! I'm so ready for this update, I can not WAIT to see the Final Battle that you have gloriously hand crafted just for us!

AnythingAtAll

WAIT ALREADY?! My god, you work so quickly! Seriously. Your work ethic is the stuff of envy. My own mandatory not-fun work is about to end at around that time too so this is quite literally THE best time to release the update! I'm playing the fuck out of the game first chance I get. Thank you for all that you do, and happy writing!! So that's why you were also becoming more optimistic about your schedule as Sarah Lin lol.

Decarabia

I got goosebumps from that screenshot alone. Good work, SL, and have fun playing, everyone.

Lord Forte Games

Sooner than I was expecting, most impressive. XD While I won't be able to play on release since I'm waist deep in some work myself at the moment, I look forward to when I can! Definitely shall be some strong anticipation, haha.

AnythingAtAll

I was just thinking, Noblesse Oblige is going to be in its own development period, so the final battle is the perfect time to catch up to everything I've missed in TLS while waiting for Chapter 11. I hope you get to play it soon too!

An_Insane_Rogue_AI

I am definitely excited to see the conclusion. I'm not sure when I'll be able to since a while back I accidentally deleted my save file a while back and am not sure when I'll have time to play it again, I guess pros and cons of a game having that much content. First time I played through I was unemployed, last time with that save I deleted I just kind of lost a few hours of sleep each night until I finished it.

Lord Forte Games

Haha, yeah. XD Good timing in that regard, and thanks!

AnythingAtAll

I assumed it was a screenshot from an earlier point in the game, but I saw the crowd of sprites and immediately thought, oh shit. This is our first real look at the final battle. It's really happening. Then SL casually says the update is coming this week. 😭 If I lived alone, I'd have screamed. I was absolutely screaming inside.

DankPotatoes

I don't see Nalili in the screenshot. Did she perhaps oversleep for the final battle? Lol

sierralee

I've been working almost entirely on this thing for months! Much longer than a normal update, though again I urge everyone to contain any hype. But I'm glad this is a good time for you to enjoy the update. ^-^

sierralee

I've avoided showing anything from the final battle because I want it to be a surprise, but I decided to make an exception today. Screenshot is from the very beginning of the content.

sierralee

If you don't want to replay everything, you do have the option of picking up from one of the many community-provided saves!

I know you've probably got the ending planned already but I'm holding out hope there is an ending where Simon keeps his powers but still gets a fairly happy ending. I hate the idea of being forced between the two choices, it is fine if its a hard to achieve ending, I'd just like it to be possible.

sierralee

That screenshot is actually fairly old, in development time. If in the actual game you don't see her, let me know; she is probably hidden under another sprite. But everyone is supposed to be there, variables permitting!

AnythingAtAll

I'd be shocked if that wasn't in the cards. One of the game's main principles is being able to have your cake and eat it if you plan and execute well enough.

Abso Haram

I think that's just part of being a creator. When you make something, you always cringe at the stuff that you bang your head against, but just couldn't get exactly the way you want it... even if no one else notices, ha. Sierra, you continue to put out fantastic work on a bunch of different projects, so thanks for all the hard work. I'm looking forward to everything in the future. That being said, when's the Patreon for TLS2 dropping?

An_Insane_Rogue_AI

I... might actually do that, I guess I just never thought about those as an option. At the very least I might find one to skip to the Yhilin invasion, I've done a lot of the early game dungeons probably 5-6 times at this point

sierralee

I hope everyone will continue supporting me here, through the completion of TLS and on to new projects!

DankPotatoes

I suspect the ending choices to be in line with the ending conversation in chapter 1, where Riala, Sarai and Janine all present their possible endgames for the Doomed King-plan. If that is the case, Simon's endgame is probably gonna be: -Leaning into his Incubus Powers and oficially taking complete control of the whole world, like Riala wanted -Giving his life to, in some way, fix the metaphyical system of TLS for good, like Sarai wanted -Laying down both crown and sword, letting the world take care of itself and retreating to his mansion with the harem, to live a quiet life, like Janine wanted. All speculative, of course. That conversation just felt pretty damn important and foreshadowing, right at the end of a chapter. And there hasn't really been a narrative follow-up yet

Hansworth

Holy, that large spread of everyone 😍. I joined quite late but I’m locked in for future projects that come from your hands. In the meantime, I can’t wait to experience the ending content in the near future!

Dark Art

I know I've joined the party kinda mid-way, but....man.... For me, this ending has been SIX years in the making. I gotta say that even though I did have my doubts here and there, overall, its been worth it. That being said, I am very curious to see what you'll dream up after TLS is completed. Thank you for one hell of a ride!

Rhinedog1963

Who's behind Orillese? That's not Hilstara

sierralee

As part of my ongoing efforts at hype-deflation, I want to say that this past conversation was never meant to foreshadow the end decisions. It WAS meant to make the player think the game might be going a clear "routes" path, then subvert it with later events.

sierralee

Janine. She's harder to identify because she's using her rarely-seen cloaked sprite instead of her usual dress.

Alistair

Had to clean my keyboard just spat my chips out everywhere. While I haven't been been a member until recently, I have been following for the better part of 8 years and seeing it come ever closer to the end brings me that much more excitement.

Lamsey

I think my favourite thing about this screenshot is that everyone is standing in the right place. The senior mages and strategists are front and centre. Sabitha is sticking close to Mammal Friend. Carina, Ivala and Mithyn are in a tight group, with Grynyth hovering awkwardly nearby. Everyone is giving Wynn and Balia space. Trin and Lilith are quietly snarking with each other in the corner. Of course, the actual best thing about this is that it's the kind of attention to detail that we can pretty much take as read from SL. Kudos.

Okcorral

Excited to see the end of the ride. Have been looking into your books and have been saving up to buy the series in one sweep. Looking forward to your next project, wether it be something like that protect the princess game, Ouroboros or another great trek through a whole new experience like Once Ever After or Last Sovereign.

sierralee

Haha, I put so much effort into arranging everyone and then fiddling with placements. Glad it's appreciated. ^-^

sierralee

Thanks for the kind words! If money is tight, wait to purchase any of my books until my new release next month. Many of my books will be on sale or even free, so that will definitely be the best time.

Jax

I'm so grateful to have been part of this journey for the last several years. You're amazing! Thank you. Excited for release on Friday :)

Dragof2

Support in other projects is an absolute given for me. Even aside from the quality of your ideas, the sheer level of professional quality you approach your projects with. Encountering bugs is so rare, which is insane to me in solo-developed games of these complexities.

Promenade

I can remember hitting the "unfinished content" wall at the party split and feeling so disappointed there wasn't more. I haven't supported the whole time, but I really should have. I've come to consider TLS one of the best games I've ever played, in any genre. I adore the characters, the living world, and especially how all the dialogue and decisions feel like it's people doing them. So many games have "choices matter" but so few make them feel so personal as this. Please, feel proud of your creation. You deserve it.

ReachtheStars

I've been following this story for years, and during that time TLS has become one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Thank you for all your hard work, and I look forward to seeing how this journey comes to an end. Hopefully there won't be too many tears.

Dragof2

I know right! I'm so excited as well.

Dragof2

I would just like to say that it was your orcs that caused me to discover the game. I was looking through tv tropes (I think at fantastical species with environmental variation), and it listed Last Sovereign's orcs. I thought the title sounded cool, and I hadn't heard of it before, so I read further. The idea of a high fantasy rpg about pron and politics seemed like my cup of tea, and playing that game literally snapped me out of a several months long depressive stupor, just at the fact something so wonderful could exist and somehow not cost money.

sierralee

Thanks for the kind words! I hope the final battle lives up to everything you've enjoyed up to this point.

sierralee

Haha, good to hear that the orcs are drawing in players! And of course, if the game could play a role in helping you out, that's great.

Dragof2

I know this is the sort of thing that is unhealthy for a creator to actually think, but in my opinion it is a shame that you are not regarded as one of the great writers (at very least in video games). But that's just my two cents, and with how prolific you are there's always whatever project you do next to really put your name on the map.

Dragof2

I'm so happy orcent gets to be front and center. I also like that Simon is flanked by the Entity and the Empress are flanking Simon. After all, one is Simon's first wife and the other is raising a child with him (in the succubus way).

sierralee

That's kind of you to say. I'll keep finishing new projects and hopefully at minimum I'll be able to keep working my way to bigger things!

Dubsington

I know this sounds ridiculous given how long this has been in the making, but... I can't believe we are already reaching the end of TLS's story.
