TLS 1.2.2 is on Steam!

The Last Sovereign 1.0.0 Official Launch!
Well, after many years in development, we're finally here. The game is complete, features like achievements are set, and the polishing is done. Of course I will continue to be on-hand for bugfixing, my supporters will keep funding more illustrations, and I can always be convinced
Well, after many years in development, we're finally here. The game is complete, features like achievements are set, and the polishing is done. Of course I will continue to be on-hand for bugfixing, my supporters will keep funding more illustrations, and I can always be convinced to tweak something with a good enough argument, but this is the complete stage I have been working toward for years.
New players: Feel free to dive in and enjoy! There are going to be a variety of celebrations of the game over the coming time, but I'll be trying to mark spoilers clearly.
Old players: Thank you for following the game so long! This launch might be a fun time to boot up the game again, especially if you haven't seen all of the recent additions and QoL changes. If you are one of the people who don't review Early Access games on principle, I'd gladly take your review now!
From this point on, I will be shifting my update patterns slightly, putting out larger art updates less often. These should continue until all the scenes are illustrated, at least, and I'll bundle any fixes or tweaks in with these updates.
I won't be blasting you with too many announcements, so if you're interested in my work, please feel free to follow me in various places:
One of the most effective ways is to follow my developer page here on Steam. You will get rare emails when I release something new, but otherwise not get too many messages.
We have a lively community on Discord whether you want game advice or memes.
I post updates on my blog, which will hopefully be more durable than other platforms that could disappear.
If you want to support the game on other platforms, you can vote for it here on GOG.
I sometimes use social media like Twitter, though not very well. =P
Of course I'm grateful to my supporters on Patreon and SubscribeStar, but I think everyone knows about those by now.
It has been an honor and a pleasure to bring such a massive and complex RPG to completion. I will absolutely be creating more in the future, though I need a palette cleanser with a fun little side project like Don't Save the Princess. Thank you for your interest in TLS, and I'll see you in the next one!
EDIT: There have been no major problems, so I'm bundling all the minor fixes so far into version 1.0.1. See blog for details, though they will not be relevant to most players.

The Great TLS Demographic Survey 2025
We're getting close to the official launch, everyone! I'm still doing some final polishing and fixing a few bugs caused by the new features, but we're closer every day. Along the way, we have time for some fun. ^-^ Way back in 2017, I did a big demographics survey of TLS players.

TLS 0.79.3 + DStP Last Call!
Well, I didn't want to do this, but the 0.79.2 version has a number of errors. >_< Not catastrophic, but not the condition I want to leave the game in while I work on the next major content. So here is yet another build. There's not much more information on the blog, but I'

TLS 0.78.2b Achievement Hotfix
I don't usually do this, but I've pushed live a Steam-only update. This one fixes the only three achievements that I know to be bugged: Yarra's maxing achievement. Altina's joining achievement, if she joins later. Orilise's library count and achievement. I had planned to wait and
I don't usually do this, but I've pushed live a Steam-only update. This one fixes the only three achievements that I know to be bugged:

Yarra's maxing achievement.
Altina's joining achievement, if she joins later.
Orilise's library count and achievement.
I had planned to wait and try to get 100% of bugfixes at once, but a TON of people are playing TLS right now, so I figured I might as well give a hotfix. ^-^ If any other achievements are bugged, just let me know and I'll get on them!
Meanwhile, I'm trying something else exciting: a Kickstarter for one of my side projects:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sierralee/dont-save-the-princess
This is a different sort of game than TLS, but it's another brick in the foundation of my career, so please consider following the project if you want to keep up with it!

TLS 0.78.2 is on Steam - Achievements and Trading Cards!
Normally this is where I would link the blog, but this is actually a Steam-first update! Check out all the updates: TLS 0.78.0 All 169 achievements for Steam are now added and active. Over a hundred new attack animations added and thousands of changes made to the enemy database.
Normally this is where I would link the blog, but this is actually a Steam-first update! Check out all the updates:
TLS 0.78.0

All 169 achievements for Steam are now added and active.
Over a hundred new attack animations added and thousands of changes made to the enemy database. Few balance changes, just an overhaul of the visuals.
New sprites for certain characters: Aka, Robin, Uyae, Grynyth, Bertricia, Fheliel, Sarai, Tertia, Varia, Wendis. All sex animations have been updated to match.
New battlers added: Mestan and Lilith.
Sequence of new map images added to the intro.
A significant number of busts thanks to Lamsey, culminating in the full Ardford council. I believe we have now changed all the major characters we plan to change.
The custom LUK script has been modified yet again, this time hopefully insuring that enemies don't get any extra critical hit chance.
Orilise now comments on the library completion throughout the game. She also activates the library achievement.
It makes me nervous to put out an update that hasn't been thoroughly tested, but there was no choice this time: the key component is the achievements, which can only be tested live on Steam. All 169 achievements should be active, so let me know if anything seems omitted. They can all be attained, but it's possible that there's an alternate path to one that I missed, for example.
The other Steam thing is trading cards, which should begin dropping.
In non-Steam news, please check out all the new attack animations! I put a ton of work into this, trying to make the game more visually striking throughout. There's also quite a bit of visual polishing above, taking the game increasingly close to the final release. ^-^
