what update is the game at right now?

And honestly I find Alexia a really weird deuteragonist. I mean, she is really just there for the porn. Rowan has agency and his choices matter. Alexia's choices mostly decide if she will have or see sex.

In the future, it may play a major role if Alexia goes full Melkor Mode *i mean* Full NTR Corruption Path in Act I, think about this carefully, being the players so rewarded with all those sex scenes with nearly every creature alive in the Castle (because there's not necrophilia ;v ) by Alexia can have it's consequences when Rowan may be in need of her help or support on the next Acts, it doesn't mean that she in the future will still relying on Rowan but of her own to reach her selfish goals.

Regarding Rowan's agency, he have the "freedom" The Twins provide him, but failing them it's an instant Game Over, another thing is about the importance of his choices, think carefully, none of the ppl who works in Bloodmeen in charge of a particular area of significance have been chosen specifically by Rowan, nor less Rowan can (nor even tried to) organize them to work with more efficiency, but by The Twins and they give them agency enough to work as they wanted (it's not surprise that even if you have the resources you can only build just once at a time, the same can be said of the library with the abundance of investigators), and if by any means he doesn't reach the goal planned by The Twins is Rowan the only one who pay the consequences...

Something like that was revealed by @Rein when he reminds us that Rowan's decisions impact in the character and over other under his wing, the choices taken by Rowan only matters if are aligned of Twins desires, an example clear of that is Rastedel's Fate. Personally, Rowan in Act I is more close to John Dagget of TDKR believing having power or influence as much he gives on himself for the cause that's not of his own, Rastedel must serve as a lesson for the character that will impact seriously in how Rowan acts, think and hopes for anyone in Bloodmeen, specially for The Twins.

So in resume, i only expect that going an Alexia full corrupted makes of her a less cooperative character, making hard for Rowan to succeed or even competed with Alexia for Power over Bloodmeen.

first time I sent Alexia out to work, I started her with the Library. And unlike every other path, the Library clearly tells the player that Alexia has the potential to have agency (because she has power, enough to intrigue probably the most powerful person in the castle at least before Tharos shows up). So after that the fact that in every other route she is a victim or a voyeur is weird to me.

Well, think in Alexia's circumstances... She's a peasant, and as many of the people of the Third State in a Feudalism Bullshit Society is probably she lacked of any formal education, if it wasn't of her kidnapping by The Twins and the curiosity of Chliona, she could have lived a peaceful life until an elder age and died without knowing nor even a single prove or suspicious of her affinity to magic, so, it's not weird, it's her unfortunate reality she had to live and she's like every other person... But her role may amplify in the future, it wasn't promised but there's a hype for what's called as "Magical Alexia".

That's because Alexia is weak and doesn't seem to be crafty to scheme behind the scenes.

Perhaps you didn't reach enough corruption into Alexia, she step in front of an orc for called her slut, she in a sense, make use of Andras to give that orc a lesson, and when the orc finally ask for forgiving, she can still manipulate the poor wounded orc to seek Andras again (knowing how Andras just nearly kill him and a second confront would be his death), that's just how manipulative and scheming behind the scenes she can be and will be in the future...

So for us to write watersports, we'd likely either need to have a writer who is into it and can make it sexy, or feel that watersports is popular enough to include it in the plot - which I'm afraid is unlikely to happen - maybe as a one-off event, at best

Drowning Andras in piss when?

It's a guaranteed one-off event that will be popular with many folks.

Alright, so, I still don't know what's the issue and why I can't start the game when I extract it, but this is how I managed to open it.
Instead of extracting it, I right clicked on it, then expanded "open with" option, and clicked on "open with WinRAR archiver" (because I have WinRAR downloaded on my PC. Then it opened the files in that WinRAR window, and when I clicked on the app, it started the game this time.

I still have no idea why it doesn't work when I extract it. I tried again later and nope, it only works if I open it with WinRAR.

Ok my friend, I have fixed it and am able to launch it now. I went into my C:\\ drive, then in my UserName folder, into App Data, into Roaming, and then in the RenPy folder I deleted my Seeds of Chaos folder. And now the game launched with no problem, so idk if you want to try that as well or not.

Will they add a voice acting soon? I mean they should use the method on ( Slow damage ) Specific scenes will use full voice and events can be just used such as grunts or voice expressions. Well my opinion is useless since I don't pay money to support them so who I am here to judge

I feel like you're asking for too much. Voice acting wouldn't really fit with the game and it's expensive.

For a long time SoC did not have a dedicated Gay writer, so we tended to struggle a bit with that content. People are also more interested in F/M and F/F content, so it tends to get less attention when we check each release for planned sex scenes. We try to always have at least one each release, but it varies.

That's an interesting comment because, for being so straight-oriented, SoC has rather interesting gay content, which is all the more impressive as they don't have (or didn't have and have now? I'm not sure) a gay-centred writer. As I mentioned in a post several months ago, you can do a full gay run that is consistent and makes sense (unless you mind the occasional boobs or vagina). The "closeted gay who let himself go progressively with the game" storyline works very well with very few awkward moments.

That doesn't mean that I don't always hope for more gay content*, of course

*scenes-wise and also plot-wise

 

[ffive]

Actually, are there even actually people that play this without trying to get all the Alexia sex scenes?

Yes. I approach this game as a story-crafting experience first and foremost, so Alexia in my playthrough takes actions which make sense given the "story arc" i have in mind for her (and for Rowan). That means there's plenty of scenes she doesn't experience. I don't have any real interest in the "Gotta fuck them all" Pokemon XXX experience.

 

[Sahady]

This is the only reason I play this game. If the update comes out and doesn't have some Alexia sharing or NTR scene, I skip it. And I already paid full price for the game years ago.

I'm totally with you dude, but unfortunately so far not many NTR scenes with Alexia

 

[J05082]

I've gave all of the new scenes and the updated scenes a skim and they seem to be fine, but if anyone finds an error or other issues please let me know. Thanks!

Haven't played in a while since I like to wait for a lot of scenes before diving back in. Think I last used the scene replay version in June 22, but now when I unzip in the gallery I only 2 pages of scenes to replay, half of which are greyed out. Sorry if I missed this issue getting resolved, I'm not clever with python and I don't have the time to scroll through 800 pages of lively debate over Alexia's coochie unfortunately.

Second Edit: I found the time to scroll through the Alexia Coochie Debate, figured out I'm running an older version

Hopefully this helps someone else down the line. Thanks again opaquecake, you're doing god's work

People started to talk about Andras x Rowan romance.

me - WTF THERE IS A ROUTE FOR THAT. Isn't he just a piece of red sexual abuser cake

That's like, half of the male LIs in all sorts of media.

Not really a romance, just sexual harassment.

Honestly I'd love it if at high favor Andras still fucks Rowan regularly (and more than that) but just stops humiliating him as much. Some of the scenes even if I'd want to see them for the sex I will avoid them (like the scene were he fucks him in front of the villagers, yikes). And in other cases I think the non-sex route probably builds up a much better relationship with Andras (fighting in the Arena and beating the Horde champion) or fighting Andras himself.

Andras x Rowan would probably wind up with Andras putting a cage on Rowan and only releasing him briefly for Alexia on condition Alexia satisfies Andras first.

ooh but making him fuck in front of the villagers is deliciously perverted...

I suppose that long-term there will be some level of branching where the relationship with Andras (gay route) will become more or less sub-dom or develop to some form of partnership.

Fresh start with 3.10 and not far from the beginning:



Could ignore it a few times but not anymore after a moment... Someone stumbled upon this?

 

[descil]

It's been a while since I last played through this game. Have there been any changes to gameplay/QoL in the last couple years? I mean in regards to the half-baked inventory, stats, quest direction (I remember getting a Game Over for not knowing how to ally with the goblins/orcs)? I also found it annoying that you couldn't interact with your wife in any way (even just a chit-chat) when sharing a room with her.
Anyway I'm glad to see development is still ongoing. Also to stay hip I recommend swapping "Dark Souls" for "Elden Ring" in the OP description.

can't wait Andras put his seeds in Alexia

This is the only reason I follow this game at this point
