Busier public release than usual; we have three orders of business:

1) Here's the public release, do check out the final balance changes:

https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2017/09/tls-0293-public-release.html 

2) After working with a new system, I finally found a way to put Ren'py games on Newgrounds. I've put up a demo of the first part of Crimson Gray, please do give it clicks/votes if you want to support the game:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/699069 

3) Expect a patron post on Sunday, unlike usual.


EDIT: I made a Tumblr post linking to the demo, for anyone who does Tumblr:

EDIT II: Check the blog soon for version 0.29.4, which fixes the variable issues that have been raised so far.

(Japanese accent) First commento! xD Have you finally completed the game?

sierralee

If you mean TLS: not yet, this is my long-running project. But this update completes the third chapter, which is a meaningful chunk of the story that contains more than 25 hours of gameplay and 100 sex scenes. There's a patron-only post about the roadmap to the end that will go public soon, but this is a good time to give the game a try, I think! If you mean Crimson Gray, yes, it's complete! You can see the free demo above and find links at that page or on the blog.

Bladestorm

I've done a short review of your demo on Newgrounds, hope it helps.

Deathknight134

I've already given the game a try before... Don't remember me? I had also sent a message to you before on Fenoxo Forums asking how you were doing and that I was the same guy from Patreon about a year or 2 back. TLS is still by far the best RPG I've ever played. 20/10!

Leveler All

Already i haven't even finish .2 o.O hope you get a nice break and have fun, ill be checking that side project ill be great to see how many other ideas you can come up with.

Aledeth

Sorry if I'm asking for spoilers, but I heard mention of a 'Qum Bomb' scene happening in the final part of the war, but I never saw it in my playthrough of 0.29.0. What are the conditions needed to trigger it?

Ripe

Simple... accept to do Qum's research when you have a chance (it's when you return from Zirantia).

sierralee

Oh, sorry about that! Glad you're a fan - the game won't be done soon, but with this chapter's conclusion I did get to a lot of payoff events. ^-^

Aledeth

I did though.

DukeLeto7

Three cheers for the typographical artistry of Fluid-Decanter!

Deathknight134

Sweet. I think I'll try getting back into it when you're finished making TLS. Assuming it becomes complete version 1.0, I assume it'll take over 300-500 updates maybe? I ain't good at scaling but will still try to guess. I assume it won't be complete for another 5-8 or more years. But then again, I'm guessing from if it ends at 1.0. XD Btw, how long have you been working on this? I think I may have been following for about 2 years or more now? Imma need to check...

sierralee

If so, that's very odd. Having confirmed it with Qum should be the only requirement for the scene to trigger during the last Aram scene.

Quiet Stranger

The last time you took a break from the Last Sovereign, you made my all-time favorite game. What will you do this time?

Fulminato

checking the internal math, in the last pass resolution [HQ campfire map] the lowest threshold for have an injuried hilstara is 34, but in both king bedroom script scene and war HQ hilstara 'npc' the value is 36.

Samuel Edwards

Bit late on this, but if you're still soliciting feedback on the changes to party-wide skills for Carina: I love it. Having to wait for the buff animation on each individual person was a bit of a slog. The new version is so much zippier.

sierralee

Expect a post about some of the things I'm thinking on in time. It will probably be a more conventional RPG and some side experiments.

Fulminato

the real value is 34 or 36? in the unified party script in the IK Castle hilstara is added if Aramite Front >= 24. edit: the dialogue with trin in the palace had the effect swaped (focus on stability increase instabillity, focus on reducing damage increase IKD CD)

Darthjake

So wait, it's possible to NOT have Hilstara down for the count?

sierralee

The real value is 34, and I changed that one as well, thanks. On Trin: guh, my bad. -_- @Darthjake: That's correct, there are four different outcomes for Hilstara.

2026-11-01 13:00 Those do sound right to me. Vhala should get points for the war going particularly well in some respect. The extra troop, however, I flipped in my head. I've made it &gt;= 9 instead.

Extremely trivial errata: After dispatching a reserve force to Ardoheim in the aftermath of Geoff's death, Simon says that the situation in ARAM (I'm going to stop using gt and lt symbols for emphasis given the last debacle...) could get ugly. Should this perhaps have been Ardoheim instead?

Zhootas

I am currently stuck in Stineford mine. I need to find a mage to open the entrance... can anybody help?

Darthjake

sleep in the bed that the merchant gave you a reservation for

Darthjake

see below comment, lol sorry, forgot to reply to your thread

Zhootas

Well, I slept in the blue rose but nothing happend afterwards

Darthjake

Robin did not come to see you? If she did go visit her in the mage academy.

HarmlessArachnid

Talk to Megail in the inn, then go to sleep. Robin should appear.

Lamsey

I'm reasonably sure it's after the Incubus Supercunt runs off after his battle with Simon in the Stineford region, in response to Simon asking "Is he gone?". If that's not it, let me know and I'll have a hunt for it tomorrow.

Fulminato

error spotted, in the megail/ledger script in the throne room the last (and highest) threshold for ivalan bank profit is 350K, but in the ledger text is mark 375K

Aledeth

Just wanted to give you some follow-up. Turns out the issue was on my end. I must have loaded a previous save that hadn't talked to her and continued through the Third War with that save instead. So I ended up having to re-do Eustrin & the war, but I fixed a lot of the things I did wrong and got a better outcome at the end anyway, so no loss.

sierralee

Yes, that is how the story is meant to go. It always happens. Sorry for deleting your old posts. There are many spammers who post things similar to this.

sierralee

The new version is not coming soon. Otherwise, I do not understand what you are trying to say.

F T

I keep checking the wiki but I have no idea where or when to get the elf girl ALTINA... is it at the very-est beginning when you still have access to the tower? because I'm ending chapter 2 aaaaand I may have missed her completely.

sierralee

Not the very beginning, but I'm afraid you've probably missed it. In the second chapter, when you can travel freely and return to Feroholm, you can go back to the castle from the prologue. That's your only chance to recruit her.

Primal Crisis

I hope to one day find a hacked save data for the game.
