Let me say this. Liurial content was great. Specially attwhore Jezera trying to fuck up with Rowan. The dialog in the library was really threatening. Beat some douche elf in the process, gain his respect, gained approval of Lord Andras, stayed with Liural, Jezera can go fuck herself.
I think that the last Orc that tried to bang Alexia ended up getting pulled apart like cotton candy by Andreas, so the rest probably think it is a bad idea.
Had a full run through; had been a while. Never noticed it before but the devs do a good job with characters not revolving around Rowan and how they use minor characters. While Rowan and the twins tie everything together it does feels like most of the major characters have their own thing going on that doesn't revolve around Rowan, even Cla-Min and Tue-Row who ouright idolize him.
Minor characters don't just disappear, the succubus that spies on Rowan and Alexia (love Alexia taking the lead with the drider and succubus), Tarish, X'zaratl's lieutenant, Cla-Min's family, Torlene etc the writers find a use for them characters and will reuse them or leave the potential for their reappearance. It's a small thing but that makes Bloodmeen and Rosaria feel like a place, one with more than a handful of people in it. Games usually struggle with that, especially porn games. Never noticed it before but it's kinda cool characters don't just get thrown away and there's quite a few.
Someone else probably can give a more accurate estimate, but from what I've read, it seems like it's only about a third or less of the way completed. It's a fairly big game in scope, and the developers thus far seem up to filling the game with a lot of branching content. To keep things in perspective, I spent around 60 hours going through the game thus far. If the game is to be 3x or more longer, that means the end result will be around 200 hours if not more. The dev team for this game is not that of a massive corporation with 100's of employees and outsources. So, it's understandable that it would take a number of years to complete.
Seeds of Chaos is approaching an ending of sorts. We decided we were going to do it a bit more like a fantasy novel series, since this thing is already massive and it would be easier to design the next part from scratch. Book 1 is essentially over in terms of main plot, besides a final few scenes we're adding to the Rastedel finale.
What we're doing now is getting all the sub-plots done up to the end of Book 1, so we can start book 2. Once I finish up Helayna and tie up a few loose ends (Jezera/Alexia high corruption) I'm probably moving over to start on it.

Oh, okay, that's an interesting way to go about it. It reminds me a bit of what they did with Monster Girl Quest, how they divided it into parts of sorts. Will the follow up 'books' use one's save file from the first game to determine aspects of the setting in them?

I'm not privy to all the technical details, because my role in the process is to make the sexy words to brrr. But, to my knowledge, the plan is to allow importing saves and/or to do a Mass Effect style recap that sets some variables.
While we’re talking about the clean up, are you guys planning some more corruption/NTR variations for pre-existing scenes before moving on to part 2? Just as a random example, Alexia’s grin and bear it attitude towards Andras in the Tavern scenes are a bit weird if they proc after she’s already submitted to him, which seems like it should be possible in the latest build I played (0.3.0.5). Similarly, if she’s already aligned herself to Jezera, I think it’s still possible for the drider pen masturbation scene to proc in the breeding job, which would again be odd.

While the forums on this site aren't exactly much different than the slums of Rastedel. It's easy to just ignore instances of toxicity. Having to deal with like a tribal group of discord buddies ganging up on you because you like 'A' instead of 'B,' or more likely in my case, liking 'C' and having both team 'A' and team 'B' try to bully with their numbers is more annoying to me.
Except so far devs brake saves every update and kind of fail to provide working saves or option to start at the beginning of new content.
If you look through the thread you can see hundreds of posts where people ask for saves or how to jump immediately to the new content
This issue is also directly related to your call for community feedback. Its just unviable to replay 30+ hours of content to review 2 new scenes.
Yes you can use debug mode then manually search for scenes you want to see.
But ask yourself how many people can or willing to go through this efforts? 5%? 10%?
Accessibility of content for majority of players IS a priority!And so should be for the dev team.
You basically described what happening in SoC discord channel its small gang of fanboys who high five each other.

If I was a dev for this game, I would take over that outdated gallery mod. Perfect tool to see new content without replaying the game almost every single update.
