Ren'Py Seeds of Chaos [v0.4.11a Patreon] [Vénus Noire]

[Ano85]

Dominant gay Rowan, not just with feminine sluts but actual men. And let's not assume him as a complete bottom just because someone is bigger for fuck's sake.

Is our guy on the inside asleep at the switch or something? We may need to send in more infiltrators. :FuckYea:

The poor guy must have failed the skill check. Damn dice rolls.

Every time a new version comes out it bricks my saves. Are there some easily done cheats?

Alright, let's fucking do this.

I would argue that the market for well drawn 2dcg, in a western game is not saturated at all. 3dcg is. Your game is distinguishable from the mass of low effort porn games. Your game is one of a few in your niche. And I think the games main focus being M/F means you are indeed competing for that audience (and succeeded mostly thanks to quality art), I think you then need to prioritize them and compete even more harshly.

Polling can be a result of having gay scenes in and asking an established fanbase, people wanting content thats rare in general might be more vocal about it because they're more emotional/vested in it. You also have to consider stuff like are people exclusively into that content or are they merely ok with it and not really care.

You forgot about the other argument I made. Diminishing returns. The total audience share for H-games interested in M/M content is perhaps 10% to 15% based on statistics. Our internal polling shows that 10% to 15% of fans are vocally pro-M/M content. These people are funding the existence of these scenes IN ENTIRETY. In fact, it might actually be a bit undeserved, which is part of why we've been considering an expansion of M/M content.

We do not need a single straight male to fund the M/M content. Among straight male players, statistically speaking, all of it is going to M/F or F/F content. Not one.

What that means is that if we simply ceased to make these scenes, then said people would no longer pay for the game. Which means that we would make one fewer scenes per month to two months. Which means, that even if we removed the M/M content from the game, the same exact number of straight scenes would be getting made each month.

So stop using your buzzword about "prioritizing". If we would be making the same amount of straight content regardless of whether or not we were making gay content, then why exactly would doing that somehow improve the business side of the game? The only way I can think of is if there is some massive segment of homophobes who want to donate to the game but refuse because they don't want to touch "the gay stuff" in a game with optional gay content. Is that the market sliver you're talking about that we can't reach?

Do you understand why the way you are framing your argument makes you sound like someone in that sliver?

There is nothing hypocritical about hetero males finding lesbian sex erotic while male/male action disgusting. You are trying to be too SJWish(sorry for the term) or politically correct in your assertions. Straight males will generally find the female form appealing so F/F is fine, but would get instant boner kill with male/male. Its pretty much that simple. Its really not some kind of political statement or something. That said, where they might cross the line and turn into one of your "anti-homosexual" people would be if they are obnoxiously demanding removal of gay content or whatever. The devs did a good job making sure that all of the controversial fetishes are optional. If you dont like male/male stuff just make the right choice to bypass it.

Basically, what im getting at is that any kind of sexual preference is a valid one, and everyone should just respect each other. In the end, its the devs who make the choice on what to include anyways. Unless you are a patron with a dev that is open to suggestions on game direction, it doesnt matter at all if you dont like certain fetishes. If it doesnt suit your taste, you are not obligated to play it.

I agree. The reason the F/F complaint is valid, is because it's an answer to some forms of the anti-homosexual content argument that argue that focusing on too many fetishes dilutes depth. It's an attempt to disguise the more socially unacceptable "I don't want optional gay sex!" arguments. I, and I think Sexnati as well, were pointing out that if that were the case, what would be removed would be more expansive then "remove the M/M".

It's not an attempt to claim hypocrisy. It's a claim that an argument isn't being made in good faith.

Personally, the economics of the "issue" are irrelevant to me, my problem stems from a lack of consistent characterization. When everyone does anything with anyone, everyone is the same but with a different aesthetic. That's a major negative for me, as the story and characters of a given experience are what interest me.

You're going to need to explain this complaint better. What do you mean by choices lacking consistent characterization? Please provide an example of an inconsistency.

that's all nice and good for people that are into ntr and stuff, but as long as that's a possible route, and not an definite route.

i'd sooner behead Andras and Alexia both if such a thing did happen once Rowan finally takes control from the twins and defeats them. Rowan does not need to put up with such shit especially since he has so many women that want him. i'm just waiting for when he dethrones the twins, kills Andras (and Alexia if she does get pregnant by Andras), makes Jezera one of his many willing breeding bitches, then he becomes the one true ruler of Bloodmeen Castle. have Clionha figure out if it's possible for humans and goblins and ogres to breed, if so, then Rowan breeds Cla-Min and her daughters, if not, have Cliohna study to find out how to make it possible, breed Cliohna, Liurial, Helayna, meet up with that group of heroes that had that magician girl, and enslave her and breed her alongside with the rest, breed Tarish, meet up with the freed Lady Delane again and this time claim her for yourself and breed her. have Rowan then make deals with the dark elves and unlike the last time in where Jezera beheads a possible ally, Rowan does the talking and succeeds in favorable negotiations due to his large army he has amassed until now at this point. have Rowan breed Shaya, that tavern lady (forgot her name), that Succubus lady in Inner Sanctum. have Rowan have one giant harem and breed all of them and more (i'm quite a fan of breeding and impregnations as well), and have him not share.

and for those that are into male/male, have Rowan go and claim that fey sissy Nileth for his own and have Rowan go to town on his ass, and mouth, probably with Daggertongue as well together as an option. we need way more Nileth, i really liked him a lot. more bottom Draith. we need way more feminine looking sissies overall wanting to be claimed by Rowan. more chances with Cla-Bow for those that are interested in him.

Well that was...specific...

There will be an Overlord route. It will probably not play out exactly like that. We take generalized requests, but the exact nature of what happens will probably not be that specific.

More to the point, even in a more empowering context, the story here is not a complete empowerment fantasy. Even a Rowan that overthrows the twins will find that the world won't just bow to his whims. There will still be conflicts, failures, challenges, and things besides narrowly kicking ass and taking names. Good stories have conflicts. Bad stories do not.

It's all about choices. NTR should not be forced. Futa should not be forced (I don't like futa). Furry stuff should not be forced. Gay stuff should not be forced. Etc. Give people a choice to disable what they don't like.

That's essentially our philosophy. If a player does not like certain types of content, nothing in the game will force players to engage in it. There are always alternatives.

All six pictures were posted on momdadno's official tumblr account and I believe are still there.

Were they? I don't know the manner they got released. I just know that we didn't intend for their early release, and at present don't have much to say about the content with her. It's coming. Those scenes will be in the game. Just not yet.

Well, regardless of the content of a given scene, there generally speaking needs to be more dominant Rowan content. Also more of the elf-slut getting fucked by Rowan, because you can never have too much elf-slut.

There's more Helayna content this release. I plan on putting out another Helayna scene, god willing, in October. It's not like we aren't already increasing the dominant Rowan content.

Dominant gay Rowan, not just with feminine sluts but actual men. And let's not assume him as a complete bottom just because someone is bigger for fuck's sake.

There is a desire for more Rowan as a top M/m scenes. I can't comment on what those scenes will look like. I don't write the M/M content.

I might be in the minority but I really like male dom as well as hard NTR and all forms of cheating and shit lol. I love that this game can put up a coherent story that actually combines all of these fetishes in a single run. My main save is rowan banging all the chicks and claiming hylena while Alexia bangs Andras. It all flows well with minimal characterization clashes even when combining these opposing fetishes. He cant very well domninate the twins yet since his way weaker, so hes still their bitch which makes sense. I guess my only gripe is that Rowan is forced to be too morally conscious. I made a long post a while back about it. It would fit well if you are trying to play as honorable as one can be under the circumstances, but when you try to go really dark, there is a bit of clash with what would be reasonable based on his dialogue and monologues. Lack of dom Rowan scenes is noticable but im sure that will be worked on as the development progresses.

Since it has already been established that magic can make penises appear and disappear, one thing I'd like to request is the option to de-futa Roseln once she has been beaten. Futa on female is one thing, but Futa on male is another. This could be done with very little change to art, since you could just use variants. Similar things could also be done for other male on futa scenes.

I think the players and devs are talking past each other when it comes to dom Rowan. The devs keep pointing to Luriel and other super subs he bangs, but I think most the players are referring to his interactions with all the other characters. He tends to be submissive to almost everyone he meets, without ever being aggressive or even an equal partner, unless the characters are super submissive themselves. The way he is ordered around by Clan-min is a great example of this.

You nailed that one.

Seeds of Chaos has a unified thematic sense, has segments that tie in together, and a unified gameplay experience. We could have every fetish yet invented and two that only Alan Moore is into and we'd still be making one unified game, because a fetish alone does not make a game.

And here is where good writing and good game design comes in. Currently the game feels like a mosh pit of different flavors of genres. I feel like a centralized UI with the girls, eg Alexia, describing their "history" and the choices / scenes you made them go through will help tie this.

The best game that I've seen do this is

. You need to play a few hours and watch how her profile changes. There's a lot of programming involved here, but it's all text / programming work so if you're a competent coder, this shouldn't be too expensive. Compared to you hiring some dude drawing a bunch of scenes; it's going to cost less man hours.

I'm almost inclined to write some library with RENPY using OOP to demonstrate a good way to code this... the challenge and fun is there. A well designed system will make adding / removing text in that menu a breeze. A badly written one will look like the guy who does Rogue-like which takes months to release bad code.

Hello seedlings,
Another month gone, and another release down. Again, like the last two months, it was a bit of a mixed bag in that release went smoothly, but there was practically no growth. Hopefully that will sort itself out, all we can do on our end is keep working hard, improving the game, and releasing on time.

Moving on, the date for the next backer release will be the weekend of the 27th-28th. As previously mentioned there will be a big focus this month on introducing Rastedel. This will involve opening up the second half of the Rosaria map (which will unfortunately require a new game to be started), with players now being able to travel to the capital, and begin the narrative arc that will form the conclusion of the game's first act.

To that end, Winter has been working away writing, splitting his work last month to do double duty, and we are hoping to give you the first two stages of the Rastedel storyline (which should be something like eight events) to serve as a solid introduction. He'll also be doing a bit more with Helayna, and a few small events, while Rein will be focusing on a few Alexia events.

Art wise, Sommy has already finished one Rastedel background that we will be sharing over the next few days, and he'll be working on another for the release. He'll also be doing two CGs for this release, one of which is a non-sexual story CG important for the Rastedel narrative. MDN has been giving his four CG descriptions, and I'll be sharing those with backers as they arrive. Finally Keidi has been working on the sprites for new characters needed for Rastedel, including the baron above - here's Winter to say a little about him.

Meet Baron De Rosa, the ruler of Rosaria.

Impressive outfit, right? Well, I'd say so. Anyway, for all of his power the Baron isn't there a 100% anymore. Kind of a problem in a system of one man rule. I doubt I need to explain what role he's going to have on the plot in too much detail. When the ruler is weak, what does his kingdom (well, barony) look like? We're also going to go deeper into his psychology and motivations, and perhaps even get a few surprises.

Back to you, boss!

That's all for today. We're really excited about Rastedel, and we hope you are looking forward to visiting too.

New update, Rastedel is coming up next. For the record, I''m kinda curious how noble ranks work in this setting exactly. Is Baron De Rosa just the guy's name or is it his title? I would assume that a kingdom would be led by a king.

So it's going to be rulling the place from the shadows via proxy?

It's the beginning of the end of the beginning!

Kingdoms are indeed usually lead by kings... although there are occasions where a Queen may lead, but often only as a regent until her offspring comes of age.

A baron having control of the Kingdom of Rastedel... preposterous I say, preposterous!

Although, there could be some lore-reason for this. Maybe the king of Rastedel is 'afraid of mirrors' so to say, and thus Baron De Rosa took 'charge'... because you don't want no cray-cray king being in control of no country. Especially not ones with iron rods sewn into their clothing.

Hey, dev team, you guys are great As someone who isn't into M/M, I am perfectly fine with its inclusion in the game and in no way get upset when I see new scenes added. I'm glad you include the M/M scenes for those who want them, and I trust the development of the game is not hindered by content I don't interact with. Keep doing your thing, because you're creating one of the best erotic games out there. P.S. Jezera is incredible.
