Hi. Originally I figured the forum was dead, but it seems I've been directly invited. I'm reserving this first post to potentially fill in later.
There's a new public update! More info available here:
https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2022/05/tls-0610-released.html
TLS 0.61.0
- New complete harem quest, beginning in Megail's office in the base.
- Half a new Philon quest. You can fully explore some new maps and a new dungeon, just not complete the event.
- You can now visit new maps in the Renthnor Wilds. This means that the teleportation chamber is now 100% unlocked.
- New Simon/Orcent bar conversation.
- All maps in Rodak have been given new custom assets to make the nation more memorable.
- By user request, there is now an event in the orc quarters where you can change the equipment of orc party members.
- The Amulet of Alchemy, Twisted Charm, and Sexual Charm can now all be upgraded at the Enchantery (in Ghenalon).
- If you spared the lamias, one now appears in Gasm Falls.
- New details will appear in the base when a nation advances far enough. Expect more of these in the future.
- All variable timing sex scenes are now either blocked by Simon's condition or have special dialogue and grant a bonus point.
- Though on that note, the variable for Simon's recovery has increased from its temporary variable. Using a save from the previous build will have no ill effects, this is just the pacing I want for the final game (pending tweaks).
- If the player didn't finish Tanurak's optional challenge before the end of the war, the quest is now properly removed.
- There were previously 18 places where a character who had maxed relationship points could be temporarily reduced. While the chance of this having a negative impact was low, it was a possible edge case. Thanks to DukeLeto7's list, I've eliminated all of these.
- All erroneous Trin lines should be corrected, again thanks to DukeLeto7 for tracking them down.
- 6 new illustrated scenes: Carina Missionary, Hilstara 69, Sabitha Mammal Pile, Trin Titfuck, Uyae Blowjob, Wynn Halfling
- In addition to those, there are several variants of a new image to illustrate Simon and Orcent's bar crawl.
- And, believe it or not, assorted bugfixing and polishing not mentioned above.
Originally I had wanted to have a massive update following OEA, but personal issues have made that more difficult. I felt it was best for overall progress to put out an update now, finishing up everything I had done to this point. I didn't finish an enormous amount of content while focused on OEA, but I was working on the game. So this update is both some assorted content and a lot of backlogged complaints or requests I pushed through.
This one will likely go public in a week, though I can't guarantee that.
OEA is still pretty awesome :) I got to the Order base so far I think, still working on it.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it! You're almost to the first ending, but there's a lot of optional postgame content.

TLS 0.64.0 is still a WIP, but meanwhile I have another complete game on the books! Please consider taking a look at Once Ever After, my newest finished project:
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/951860/Once_Ever_After/
itch.io: https://sierralee.itch.io/once-ever-after

Everyone knows how the story goes: innocent, 18-year-old Red Riding Hood goes into the woods and is corrupted by the naughty, naughty Big Bad Wolf. Ingrid is the newest Little Red Riding Hood: she doesn't know what awaits her in the dark woods, but she knows that it seems exciting.
But Ingrid's world is only one of an infinite number of Tales, and those stories are starting to bleed over into one another. War is coming, and Ingrid doesn't even know what war is. Nothing will ever be the same, and the only weapon Ingrid has to face the changes is sexy fun.
Features
- A 20-30 hour RPG across multiple alternate fairy tales.
- 25+ base scenes with 200+ images total.
- 30+ chibi images illustrating cute plot moments.
- Two difficulty modes: you can play a challenge where strategy is more important than grinding, or a more relaxed mode where you can enjoy the story.
- All characters have access to multiple classes and skill trees that can be mixed and matched.
- Visible enemies instead of random encounters.
- Modern quality of life features like autosave slots.
- Quest log to organize required and optional content.
- Optional post-game challenges leading to second ending.
New open world update with three new harem quests! I drew my reserves pretty low during this release cycle, so I think I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves:

Back in 2017 I posted a text roadmap for the remainder of the game and we've been following it, but it's come to my attention that many players have forgotten or never saw it. So, since we're getting closer to the end, I thought it was a good time for a new roadmap. Many thanks to Lamsey for improving the visual garbage I started with!

This version doesn't give all details, but it shows you exactly what content remains in the game compared to what has been done in this section. No more need to speculate about who gets a harem quest and who doesn't. Perhaps more importantly, I hope it will remove the need for promises or arbitrary dates: everyone will be able to see the changes in the remaining content and judge my progress for themselves. Look forward to this image being updated every release.
Some of these icons are far more work than others, of course. You've seen how some of the harem quests are quiet character moments while others are elaborate events, so the number of checks per update will vary. But I believe this will give a strong enough overall impression. The only thing likely to change is that I might add some time doing revisions in between the postgame update and officially releasing the game as 1.0.0, just to create a better first impression for any new players.
I am hard at work on TLS 0.65.0, which will check off a decent number of those boxes because I worked on it all through the holiday break. See you then!
New beast of an update out! Check all this content:
TLS 0.65.0
- New plot quest, beginning in the Renthnor Wilds.
- New harem quest, beginning in the Yhilini Royal Chambers (any time in Chapter 5).
- New harem quest, beginning in the base front hall (any time after the Incubus War).
- New harem quest beginning in the Renthnor Wilds (after completing the new plot quest).
- Major new base feature: full portrait mode, including 29 unique pieces of art and 125 paintings total!
- New harem member, with either 1 or 15 sex scenes, depending on how you count.
- Aside from that, two plot sex scenes.
- Final combat party member, bearing 17 new skills and some bizarre mechanics.
- In Balia's challenge, teaching orcs skills only costs essence once each iteration. If you create new orcs, you can teach them already-learned skills for no additional cost.
- The Simon Recovery variable has been slightly tweaked now that there are more than enough points.
- 5 new illustrated scenes: Aka's New Form, Hilstara X Succubi, Lynine's First Time, Megail 100, Orilise's First Time
I was so busy with this that I forgot to take screenshots of everything. Here's an example of one of the complex little quests and one of the new sex scenes:

New update out, available at the usual places! Rather than screenshots or a big list of features, I'd like to focus on a single change that's more unusual for an update. Here's one taste, a comparison between the original title screen and the new one implemented this version:
(https://i.imgur.com/GwkElfG.png)
Throughout the years I've been working on TLS, I've almost always focused on moving the game forward. With a game this size, if I spent too much time revising or reworking, it would never be finished. However, players have been pushing me to redo some elements, so I have updated a number of assets. You'll see this in the game's title screen, in the assets on Steam, and on the blog.
But I wouldn't leave an update with just that! I've also finished two more harem quests, keeping the roadmap moving forward. I'm hoping that this release won't take too much out of me, and with the rebranding finished, I'll be able to swing directly into the next update faster than usual. Regardless, as always, I try to push everything toward the conclusion.

New TLS update for patrons! This one includes some long-awaited content, which people have been anticipating for a long time:

That's right, this is the conclusion of the succession crisis! The update also includes a different harem quest that I hope nobody saw coming...

And, of course, more scenes have been illustrated:

New TLS update for patrons! This one is back to focusing on harem quests, where I continue to try for a wide variety. Nalili takes center stage this time, getting to play Empress for the Orgasmic Empire:
(https://i.imgur.com/g6PNc5w.png)
These are the serious moral decisions you come to TLS for! Or, more realistically, for math-heavy updates with all kinds of things to optimize:
(https://i.imgur.com/h3Wi0Jl.png)
But it's not all old maps. I also brought in a lot of new assets to take the party to brand new locations:
(https://i.imgur.com/vg0MAdW.png)
You'll also get a chance to stop in with Varia and pick up a very old plotline:
(https://i.imgur.com/CEPgk3H.png)
This update adds a higher than average number of sex scenes, due to Nalili, but no screenshot this time due to Imgur being obnoxious.

New TLS update for patrons! This one covers a couple harem quests, but it is more like a plot update with a strong focus:
(https://i.imgur.com/BaYqTVz.png)
You will be going deep to deal with a major loose end of the game:

It's an overall serious update, but I realized that I haven't done too many out-of-context lines in a while, so here you go:

And the time between releases means we have plenty of new illustrated scenes:

Not essential or a content update, but definitely use this one if planning to start a new game or play much.
New TLS update for patrons! This update is loaded with personal quests, starting with Robin's:
(https://i.imgur.com/I2kn1PS.png)
It isn't all new areas and dungeons, though, as Megail is returning to Ari-Yhilina to take care of some personal business:
(https://i.imgur.com/5yeX3vq.png)
And it's finally time for Orcent's quest, which I hope everyone will enjoy:
(https://i.imgur.com/cFKehjM.png)
Three new illustrated scenes, too, moving us fully into Chapter 4:
(I had lovely sex art here, only for Imgur to eat it instantly. -_-)
