Ren'Py Seeds of Chaos [v0.4.07] [Vénus Noire]

[Isharin]

You don't, it's impossible to seize 100% of the city no matter what you do.

thanks, i thought so, since i have the dev release i couldn't find any corresponding events

 

[Sasarko99]

it's called drider_milking. Under breeder job category.

Thanks! Although I'm disappointed that it's not penetrative sex and just a handjob one.
Maybe there'll be a Drider gone Wild scene in the future?
It was a huge let down when Andrias killed the drider rin that masturbation scene.

I tried to give this one a shot, but the very first scene between Alexia and Andras took me out of it.
He kidnapps her, robs her freedom, burns down her village, is a threat to her husband and they talk like long lost friends? She even asks him to visit more?!
I get that the developers want some kind of relationship between them for the NTR content, but this just made me dislike the wife and question the level of writing in this game.

If you dislike NTR you'll miss out on a lot of scenes and if you aren't ready to get Stockholm Syndromed constantly you'll never enjoy the writing.
After many, many updates this game has enough content that you can sort of enjoy it even as a non-sub non-cuck, but it takes a while until you get to have some semblance of player agenda.

He is the only one giving her "kindness" in 3 or 4 months. Also, she is not being tortured, but treated very well and I don't remember if she saw them destroying the village. Also, magic.

Damn it guys, it's called willing suspension of desbelief, try to write a porn game without it.

Errr... this is a fantasy title with demons and monsters and magic and shit.
I'm pretty sure suspension of disbelief is not the core issue.

I mean you could butt the scope would have to be far more limited , though i think it would be hilarious if before every sex scene you guys tried to justify it by writing "Rowan always did want to fuck a [insert random monstrosity here]".

 

[WangDangDaddy]

I've been trying to get the Greyhide scene for a while but can't seem to get it. Not the table manners one, the actual sex scene. I also would like to know if there is a completed save file for this version

Stockholm Syndrome ?

game not finished after turn 60 or so quest lines stop. This game going to be great but it is not polished they need to add a lot more to it. Maybe a softer path. Added my save I hope it works and helps you.

 

[Virgile85]

Does anyone has full gallery and scene replays save???and save for alexia ntr complete until this update??

 

[PadoruPadoruuu]

Just got to the latest quest after trying and giving up for 2 days only to turn to the console and cheat :v RNG and constant dice checks are painful for someone like me. Other than that I am now a follower of this game and hoping to see moooaaaar!
Does the steam version have more content? Might buy earlier than planned if so.

Same content. But steam version is updated every 4 months.

Hit week 30, visited the capital, and got Batri's support. Npw it sounds like each week there's at least still new scenes but what about on the map? If I chose to 'skip week' in the room will I miss anything from the map?

 

[Back]

What about on the map? If I chose to 'skip week' in the room will I miss anything from the map?

Yes. There are certain events that will play out that could net you rewards or scenes that you will miss out on if you choose to not explore the map.

Onto another topic now...
BUG REPORT

Recently decided to try SoC again. Played from scratch with no cheats, no reloads / save-scumming, and no rollbacks on RNGs events and dice rolls. (Still early on. Captured R.Keep and just started Orcaid.)

1. Movement Points -- After researching "Survivalism and Cartography" (first tech researched on this playthrough) which is supposed to add +2 Movement on the map, I've discovered that Rowan always starts with either 9 or 11 movement points at the start of his week regardless if he jumps to either portal or continues from where he left off previously. It has lately been at 9. (Thankfully it's not that big of a deal in Act 1 of SoC.) It might not actually be tied to this research option but rather due to random bad encounters that hinders movement. Thus, instead of temporarily hampering movement the game made the negatives permanent (month after month) and it was just coincidence if there happen to be any overlap with the research completion and any of these events.
2. Lost Weapon -- Continuing with bad events... a thief stole Rowan's sword in a random event on the map. And despite managing soldiers at Bloodmeen, there's no replacement sword for the human bossman. Rowan can, however, will into being swords for necessary events such as in a duel against a frustrated Andras to keep Alexia and his soldiers safe from the demon. (C'mon, let's face it, why is there still a dice roll here with the impossibly high DC so early in the game for this face off?)
3. Orcaid Gated -- Failed the diplomacy check to pass the guards when trying to visit Ulcro for the first time resulting in a demand of handing over a worthy weapon for a general. This poses an interesting conundrum. With no weapon on hand and that purchasing items from Cla-Min has been turned off by the devs, this effectively has gated a significant portion of the Orcaid series of events. (Heck, I'm not even sure if Orcaid is even doable if you can't visit Ulcro at all regardless of which path you take, is it? It's been so long since I last played SoC.)
4. Tech Progess -- Players cannot view the current progress of any research in the new UI. This effectively makes research subjects moot. Players cannot time that with the tech rate to fill it on following week(s) / turn(s) without careful notetaking on the player's part. Despite what Cliohna says in game, the game has never allowed any carry over progress into new research whenever a prior research has been completed.

I suppose there might be a workaround with the Lost Weapon (and Orcaid) bug if, and only if, the player managed to acquire a *free* sword by pursuing the Cla-Min route. Of course, surrendering a unique item like that means Rowan is once again defenseless and likely to gain the ire of the Cla Clan, fluff-wise. I can't think of any other way currently of acquiring a replacement weapon without relying on some random event.

The description seems conflicting. It says you play as the bad guy but then you play as Rowan and not Andras(who i assume is the aforementioned bad guy). Do you play as both? Be great if someone clarified it.

You play as Rowan and to some extent his wife, Alexia. You can choose to make "bad" or "good" choices as the game goes along, so you can play as the bad guy or a good guy, or mixed.

Aww thanks fanboi!
I was referring to this line
"You are the bad guy - Unlike most games with alignment systems that allow you to be good, evil, or morally neutral, in Seeds of Chaos you play the villain. "
So basically Rowan is the evil villan? Or this text really needs to be changed.

You're not the bad guy. You may be at some distant point towards the end of the game but so far you're more of a victim turned henchman.

As far as I'm concerned that tag line is a terrible choice and only invites criticism from new players that want to be a villain, not a broken hero, but the devs seem intent on keeping it.
