There are 2 Medium corruption locked scenes. One for Maid and one for Forge. There is three new library events though. Alexia/Liurial is semi-corruption locked.These six Alexia job scenes sound tasty, especially if a number (as it is said in the update) are medium corruption. If it is three, I'm thinking it's Maid, Library, Tavern.
As in, it's locked by the Elf-threesome, but that scene in turn is difficult to trigger without mid-corruption.What is semi-corruption locked? 45 corruption? 50?
Alright. I'll bite.Hmmm, sounds like another skippable update.
That scene was bugged in the last update I think, if you lied to Alexia about having slept with Liurial, the game would jump to the threesome scene label (avoiding the threesome conversation label), inside there would be a conditional branch where a medium/high corruption Alexia would start making out with Liurial, but the branch for a low corruption Alexia was just straight up missing and the scene would just suddendly skip to Alexia and Liurial already making out and Rowan about to join them.As in, it's locked by the Elf-threesome, but that scene in turn is difficult to trigger without mid-corruption.
For me... I'd say it's the moment when Whitescar gets a scene.What type of content constitutes a non-skipable release?
Content I find interesting. Based on the change log very little is added in terms of actual plot progression and only a handful of new scenes. At least three of which could very easily be just black backgrounds with text since they're not included in the list of new CGs.Alright. I'll bite.

We've been taking a look at that event. It appears that the bug you mentioned doesn't always fire. It's seemingly a weird bit of situational code because the event is so complex. It's on the back burner, but it's on our list of bugs that need fixing. Development is complex so we can't always get to each bug fast. That said, you can rest easy. That bit of skipped text has no impact on wether the sex scene procs, so it should impact the new event whatsoever.That scene was bugged in the last update I think, if you lied to Alexia about having slept with Liurial, the game would jump to the threesome scene label (avoiding the threesome conversation label), inside there would be a conditional branch where a medium/high corruption Alexia would start making out with Liurial, but the branch for a low corruption Alexia was just straight up missing and the scene would just suddendly skip to Alexia and Liurial already making out and Rowan about to join them.
If that hasn't been fixed then it would still be pretty easy to do those scenes with low corruption and without Alexia having cheated on Rowan with either of the twins.
On the subject, is this new build going to be the last public release? I understand you guys wanted it to be the demo of the game but, unless bugfixes are not included in the changelog, then this build will still have plenty of the bugs and missing features of the previous one. It would probably be fine since it would still sell the game's story and art, but the gameplay would look a bit sloppy.
1. The new Delane event is both one of my favorite events that I've written for the game in a long time, and also of plot importance. Delane is going to be important to the low corruption route as the story goes on, and this sets up her new dynamic with Rowan.Content I find interesting. Based on the change log very little is added in terms of actual plot progression and only a handful of new scenes. At least three of which could very easily be just black backgrounds with text since they're not included in the list of new CGs.
This is a complete non-answer. You, like everyone else here, are a faceless literal who on the internet. Nobody knows what interests you. Be specific.Content I find interesting.
This is how every update for this game works. They focus on completing writing and releasing a few scenes every month, and worry about adding art later, so the patrons can get a chance to vote for what scenes they want to see first. That means that the art that gets released every month is generally for older scenes.Based on the change log very little is added in terms of actual plot progression and only a handful of new scenes.

And 600,000+ Words at that, as far as I have heard.(a) there’s a lot of writing involved
If Delane is going to be important to one of the major game pathways going forward, why is it so difficult to keep her alive? It requires rolling through three (or so?) skill checks, one of which requires something like a nat 20 (or total roll over 20? I'm not sure) to successfully escape with her, a roll for which the player is given very little opportunity to increase their chance of success. Really the only way to get access to this whole portion of the game you've created is save scumming, which seems suboptimal as far as game design goes.1.

I'll be honest with you, I don't care if you like the event you've written. In all truth, what you think about what you've made is completely meaningless as of course you're going to be attached to what you worked on. Using that as a defense is like a kid showing his or her parents the shit they just took. It might be impressive to the kid, but to the parents it's just the sixth shit in the toilet that they've seen this week. Delane bores me, and the writing in general for this game isn't particularly enthralling since nothing happens. It's been going since at least August of 2016 and it feels like you're still in the prologue. If you actually took the amount of content in the game and stuck it end to end, you'd have maybe 45 minutes to an hour of actual content without the fluff of the world map and how random things can be.We've been taking a look at that event.

I am not actually sure it will be. This is not my stance, but I'd likely recomend putting out a final free version a little bit later on with everything post battle locked, but the content until that point polished and with some of the route endings included.

2. You can assume that if any release is single month, then there will almost always not be art for it. Art takes time to make. We're hoping to introduce some same-release art in the bimonthly schedule, but event then, many scenes will still launch without art. Especially those written in the second month.

Comment got caught in the homophobia sweep.I'll be honest with you, I don't care if you like the event you've written.

As for the single month release.. Big fucking whoop. If you can't actually finish content for release then don't release it with any of that content in it. I can't say I speak for everyone, but I would certainly be more amenable to donating to your patreon if you put out updates that are actually complete and feel substantial. People are willing to wait for worthwhile updates so long as there's communication.
Coming on here to defend your game isn't exactly going to change my mind on whether or not I think an update with a handful of scenes, a spattering of art and very little story progression. I don't care about what you think of what you worked on, you're as biased and unreliable of a source as humanly possible in this situation.
I don't think this dev team can be criticized for lack of communication, compared to many others I've seenPeople are willing to wait for worthwhile updates so long as there's communication.
Oh thank god for that... phew!I can't say I speak for everyone
Cool, you don't like a character. That's fine.Delane bores me, and the writing in general for this game isn't particularly enthralling since nothing happens.
Please tell me you are not going to critique Seeds of Chaos about their Communication/Updating schedule. Because I need only have two words about them in this regard... "Fucking Impressive".People are willing to wait for worthwhile updates so long as there's communication.
Yeah, I don't think that Winter is here exactly to 'Defend' the game.Coming on here to defend your game isn't exactly going to change my mind on whether or not I think an update with a handful of scenes, a spattering of art and very little story progression.
And you aren't yourself unbiased?I don't care about what you think of what you worked on, you're as biased and unreliable of a source as humanly possible in this situation.
I have been a patron of this game for a while now. There are some things that get to me like how long it has taken them to get Rastadel done. But you have to take into account the variations of every scene they put in. They haven't added a single scene for X'Zaratl in a year! I've been wanting Rowan to fuck her pussy while she fucks Alexia forever. But even still, the content they do add is good quality. The Arzyl stuff is fun. The Cliohna events are leading somewhere quite good. My Rowan has been resisting her everytime. And slowly I can tell she is becoming interested in Rowan, maybe that will lead to a relationship on an equal basis with the sorceress. There was even a Jezera and Rowan scene, though unfortunately that was a femdom scene. Look there are things that are going to be done that aren't going to be tailored to you exactly. But there are things in there for the people that play and support the dev team. I can understand that you are disappointed. I am too sometimes, but not with the writing. And can someone give Sexinati some more Greyhide content, or at least a Andras transformation scene where the red demon can be turned into a much more pleasing formI'll be honest with you, I don't care if you like the event you've written.

But not before spitfire335 get's their X'Zaratl content!And can someone give Sexinati some more Greyhide content, or at least a Andras transformation scene where the red demon can be turned into a much more pleasing form.
Cheers mate. It's true that they are intending on making Rastedel the end of the first act but progress does seem quite slow admittedly. Still, I can't wait for my Rowan to break out of this hero role and begin playing more as a villain. His corruption is high and I take every dominant choice I can get so it will be a sweet payoff once he can turn his gaze to the castle's inhabitants with a domineering eye. On the other hand, accounting for all the different variables must be a nightmare for the dev team. Just like I like to play a dominant Rowan, some may play a submissive one, or one who has a chaste marriage with Alexia, or delane, or Greyhide, etc. Quality has never been a problem for SoC in my eyes. And the way I see it, it will never be. No worries mate, I think that Arioch himself said that they are in the finishing stretch for Rastadel so hopefully we can move past it and get to enslaving some drow to serve us.But not before spitfire335 get's their X'Zaratl content!
And yeah, I feel the same way sometimes about Rastedel myself.
