Ah yeah, forgot about that one.

I've started Orciad and siding with Ulcro. Scouted for all the gifts available, but Ulcro just keep asking for more and more. Do I need to do something else? E.g. visit Rastedel or something?

I’m a bit out of date, but I can field some of these, I think.

Before finishing Ulcro’s path, you’re gonna need to find and talk to Delane. If you haven’t found her already, just keep exploring the orc camp. After that you need to keep visiting her to convince her. There’s a more detailed explanation in the first link in my signature under the Week 60 header.

How script determines that Andras or Jezera should try and grab Alexia for themselves after her medium corrupion event? In my case Jezera came first, which I found strange - they didn't really interacted, Alexia never worked as the maid and almost never hanged out with our purple boss. Or interaction count for both Alexia's and Rowan's events?

I’m not sure how the game determines which twin will get Alexia post-medium-corruption if they both have sufficient influence—like a lot of scenes, it may be random which one triggers. I recommend trying going back to your most recent save before the event in question and seeing if you can get a different result. That said, the simplest way to truly ensure the twin you want will gain dominance may be to avoid letting the other one gain any influence at all.

Rowan’s scenes with the twins should have zero influence on that outcome, Alexia just needs to go through the basics of submitting to the twins in her pre-medium-corruption scenes with them. I’m positive that Jezera, for instance, gets enough influence with only the three pre-medium-corruption scenes she has with Alexia, and possibly only needs the first two, assuming Alexia submits to her both times.

Have you guys considered hiring UI specialist, at least temporary? Some things really could use extra work - like that small font used for reasearch items description or that very well hidden left panel at the castle screen. And why do we have research progess value at the summary on castle screen, but not in the reasearch menu itself?

I’m sure some UI alterations are on the table, but I’m equally sure they’ve got their hands full with finishing the current story arc. A lot of the castle UI still seems to be under construction, and I imagine things will change once they start implementing the new gameplay modifications they’ve been working on.

Could you add "Delete saved game" button at the Save\Load menu? I'm playing your game for around a year and now I ended up with five or six pages of savegames from previous versions that are too broken to play them.

While that feature would certainly be convenient for organizational purposes, you can always save over old saves, or go to the save folder itself and prune that way, though you’d probably need to take screenshots of the save screen UI so you can match the timestamps of the files you actually want to keep, assuming there are any. The folder should be at ~/Appdata/Roaming/RenPy for Windows, and ~/Library/RenPy/game_directory for Mac. I don’t know how Linux organizes Ren’py saves, but I’m sure google does.

Couldn’t answer all your questions, but hope that helps some.

It is not wrong. While buying would be better even putting it in the wishlist helps too.

I think he was just saying the implication he was pirating the game was wrong.

Mouse over the save you want to delete at the save/load menu and press the "Delete" key on your keyboard.

Could you show me the way to get the Orc Families event and Emma scene? What kind of terrain does that Orc Families event spawn? Thanks in advance!

Should be in the explore camp option at Orciad.

Not sure of the best way of geting a save, cant manage to find how to delete old ones. But i think this one is in one of the 2 saves that i cant conquer the city

Normally I just save over them.

Tried latest Freebooter Edition of SoC yesterday and now I have couple of questions.

"Three's company" event had "Tell Her The Truth" choice - that capital letters are intentional? Adding extra drama?

Steam page says that game uses Steam Cloud - is that true?

In conclusion I'd like to thank you and your publisher for the regional pricing - got my Steam copy already.

P.S. Sorry for the long post and my unconventional approach to English language.

First part was answered already. To the second part, if you qualify for both events then they both play. It's just that for you to get the second one, you have to refuse the first one. It might be worthwhile to save, then try refusing if you'd prefer the other twin.

No it's not intentional. We just have been inconsistent about capitalization in choices. Regarding save files, my best advice is just save over them. It deletes the original information.

Also, @ getting the Steam version. A sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep on trucking!

Wrong ! I bought it, and i think a lot of devs should consider steam releases too, i would gladly pay for more games on Steam, like i do with some Kagura Games releases, too bad, Gunsmoke can't release Something Unlimited on steam lol

Ok i will check the other thank you

Yup. You can find the latest stuff on it

You must be registered to see the links

, including a roadmap too the first major alpha.

Yup. Wishlist helps too. The more intirest Steam detects on our page, the better we do in searches.

I'm only doing so temporarily because I'm in a financial crisis. But I will here soon be paying full price for it on Patreon. (i was also a patron)

We understand that it happens. But, in the meantime, please consider helping us out by visiting the steam page and putting the game on your wish list. Doing so helps us a lot with the algorithim on steam.

Thanks for the response as usual DBSG. Good stuff here.

Really wish there is an event checklist or something similar, not only account for the sex scenes but the special and regular events that occur around the map.

 

[johlem]

I really like this game and the evolution of it,
But I think it might be a good idea to incorporate a little "prologue" quest into this story. Before the twins cross the path of Rowan and Alexia

This would allow Rowan to be played as a hero, and would increase the player's feeling of playing has a "fallen hero" (if it can be considered as such xd).

it would also increase the chance and the opportunity to appreciate Alexia, because although she and Rowan have been married for a long time, as a player we do not have the feeling to know her more than the other png, and that It's a shame because of the different events that focus on this character afterwards, which have less impact than it should be.

Of course it's just a small detail, but I really think that's missing at the beginning of the game.

sorry about my english^^

 

[Shenhan]

Common break issue. Just requires starting a fresh save. Has to do with the changes to earlier variables we needed to impliment to make the finale work.

Don't remember if you can change the room assignments about that. I'll ask the team about that.

That makes sense, I assumed it was something like that. Since I'm going to be starting again I figure I might as well ask this too. On my very first playthrough I came across the event where a couple of workers are bad mouthing Alexia and when she told me I ended up sending them to the mines, which was pretty cool. On later playthroughs though, whenever I've chosen that option Rowan decides it's too brutal and wont send them which pisses Alexia off.

It's weird because on my first playthrough I was trying to be good and on the other one I just threw morality into the wind and did whatever the hell I wanted.

Anyone know how I can send them to the mines this time through? Can't look weak in front of the missus.

 

[Gugino]

dont like to ask that but has anyone a full save im missing 8 scenes and i cant find them ?

 

[Cervixpunch]

I love the game but I really hope the the map and exploration gets tweaked at some point. I reach a point where every village, abbey, drider nest, orc camp and vineyard is explored and it happens relatively quickly. By the time the Orciad starts I have almost all the villages triggered already. It becomes a bit boring just wandering the map with no real purpose it feels like Rowan is scratching his arse in the countryside rather than getting shit done. Some of the village events don't add to your village total or income either it's a little frustrating. I also end up rolling back to make sure I get the orc pegging, orc chieftess and two peasant girl events in case they don't trigger and I miss them. Really wish there was more on the map.

 

[manscout]

To be fair, part of Rowan's job is to scout the land for resources for the Twins' armies. He uses roads when completing a specific task but he is supposed to wander around mapping and scouting the land, that's part of his job.

Keep in mind the Goblin forest will be added as a third map area for chapter 1 later on, I think taking that into consideration there is a fair ammount of map to go through given the time limits. Someone optimizing could probably scout most of it within the time limits, but someone going in blind could miss a few key locations due to running out of time.

 

[T51bwinterized]

We're on the same page. One of the goals of our present post-Rastedel discussions is how to go about improving the map.

 

[Rein]

Quite literally the topic of the weekend development debate, and it is my honest hope I'll have enough time to make the map feel more "alive", with at least some variety of goals the player can set out to pursue on it.

 

[TheSexinati]

So long as you make a map!

But yeah, any improvements made on that front would be welcomed. And more villages for us to Trade with, conquer or... err... burn to the ground, that will be welcome too.

And more churches to loot, and burn down...

I better go before I turn everything into a wasteland.

 

[tonicase24]

TheSexinati

what he said...and more sluts to fuck.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Yeah a map to orient the player would be great.

 

[TheSexinati]

I have to say, I am not ashamed to admit that I have this thread's Fan-made maps printed out.

I play already 90 day+ but my gold keep reduced, now my gold-1000 .i done know why
i cant upgrade anymore how to fix this?

You've upgraded beyond your incomes ability to support

 

[diebesgrab]

Several castle facilities, notably the barracks and dark sanctum, have increasingly high drains on your weekly funds as you upgrade them, so if you haven’t managed to increase your weekly income beyond that, you’re going to steadily lose money every week even if you aren’t spending.

If you’ve already built all the construction projects and captured all the villages, there’s not much you can do at this point to fix that in your current game. The second link in my signature has some advice about how to stay out of the red if you want to start over, though.

 

[Akab]

Anyone know how to open and use the cheat console?
I would like to know if there are any known codes, or if there is a menu that can be activated.

Thank you

P.S.
Congratulations to the maker, the game is very intriguing.
