The public version of the last update is out and I've started work on Chapter 5. Last week I took a while to go over all my plans/outlines through to the end, and I'm quite eager to get to them. ^-^

Instead of beginning with a free roaming period, the last chapter will start with the party in the middle of their new activities. Though the final chapter will include a lot of side/optional content, it also has several normal plot sequences that are pretty dense. Lots of payoff that's been set up over the past few years.

I'll keep working on that, but in the meantime these weekly updates will cover assorted things. $10 patrons already got some extensive thoughts about potential projects after TLS, and those thoughts (and a poll) will be coming to everyone in time. Look forward to that.

Meanwhile, there will be some extra content for some patrons, like the full manuscript for The Brightest Shadow. I intend to launch it late 2019 or early 2020. In addition, at some point there will be another Patreon (and maybe public) demo for DStP. I haven't done anything on it for a while, as I've been waiting on the last CG to finish being drawn.

The crosspost I alluded to earlier is going to happen soon, so expect a post from me in a bit (edit: it's up here). Meanwhile, the post for TLS is here if you want to see it:https://www.patreon.com/posts/last-sovereign-29987842 

I believe that's all for now. Please look forward to everything!

Sorry Sierra, IMHO Nonoplayer's review doesnt really do justice to TLS. Would it be alright with you if some of us corrected Nonoplayer, or are you happy with that review?

sierralee

That's a promotional post I wrote. You're welcome to comment something positive if you want.

Dark Art

Ah... I see. You are being way too modest about TLS :) If you dont mind, in my comment I'll pretend that I dont know its you who wrote it

sierralee

So long as you're not aggressive or insulting toward anyone, go ahead.

WaxerRed

Sounds like things are going along steadily with chapter 5, glad to hear! Will one of the new activities perhaps be a FABULOUS shopping spree for the group? I don't know if you realized but the Erosian war left us with some SERIOUS bunce to spend in terms of sx.

Dark Art

Come on now... When did I ever? :) Let me know if you are ok with my reply. UPD. Are comments hidden there for some reason, or Patreon desired to block my wall of text because of its strange, patreonic reasons?

sierralee

I can't say for sure, but my first bet is always that the weird Patreon spam filter ate it.

sierralee

Oh, the additional money is intentional. You'll have some interesting new things to spend it on!

Dark Art

Well, thats a bummer. I'll wait and see if someone else's post will show up and if it does, I'll try again. Dont wanna spend another half an hour typing to amuse the spam filter.

Dark Art

Yeah, looks like the comments under that post are ether hidden, off, or the spam filter is REALLY dislike me today for some reason. Must be something I ate. Anyway, like I said, I think you are ether being way too modest, or have been tinkering with TLS for too long and now simply missing or taking for granted some of your quite excellent achievements. It simply offends me not to have them in a review, so I'll leave them here in case you'll feel like adding them. 1 - Map design and xp distribution. Unlike most of RPGs, in TLS there is no grinding for ether money or xp. I know it may sound logical, but the way you do it, is very clever and so far I am yet to see balance issues. 2 - World design. Another extremely strong plus that definitely warrants. The world feels alive and reacts to major (and sometimes minor) plot twists. 3 - Economy is well balanced. Cash is never a problem, but always a concern. That kind of balance is pretty rare. IMHO - definitely worth a mention. 4-100500 I can praise the story, chars, humor, drama etc, but those things are subjective, so I will not. I am sure anyone who'll get past first 5 mins of the game will not need much advertisement on those accounts anyway :)

Calling it now, Chapter 5 starts with Simon balls deep in the Mother while Orilise is smugly watching. And Yarra's somehow got her hand up you know where further than ever before. Or it could be slightly less exciting, like taking down Fucklord Jr. #7.

DukeLeto7

Slight quibble. Someone called attention to the fact that Mithyn alluded to Ivala's "captorS" in the Ch3 interstitial whereas Ivala alluded to her "captor" in the Ch5 interstitial. Since this apparent contradiction could be a typo, I thought I'd apprise you of it.

DankPotatoes

Calling it now. The Anak is the captor, and the plural form refers to him and Xestris. There is no way i could be wrong. Nuh-uh.

Decanter

I hope to finally be able to outfit my whole team with top gear now that we run... four-ish major countries, three of them likely built up into good tax bases by now.

sierralee

Not a typo, though arguably open to changing.

Decanter

Presumably the main entity identifiable as her captor has others working with it.

WaxerRed

To be fair, if we weren't so focused on rebuilding most of those countries up-from scratch we probably could splurge on ourselves. At a certain point though I hope the minmaxers will come out so far ahead that they can turn pron into sx with ease.

DukeLeto7

Or the entity has multiple personalities...

AJ_Dragon

Just can't STOP loving the artwork!!!

onepot

I actually haven't bought shop stuff since chapter 2, except an additional buttplug for Riala and the mandatories for custom equipment. Though I didn't get to play the Erosian War and the Givini dungeon yet, I'll see how that goes.

DukeLeto7

It's OK to love the artwork, but don't LOVE the artwork.

Decanter

I dunno, Leto, I'm pretty sure it's all the better if you LOVE the artwork, know'm sayin'?
