I think polls can serve two purposes, they can give devs inspiration/focus, and they can point out when a dev has been wasting time. Often when poll results focus very hard on one thing that the dev obviously intended to be a main point of the game, and this happens repeatedly over a long period of time, it can suggest to the dev that maybe they've ended up in the weeds. I'm glad you don't feel the castle is crowded, but I do. I would much rather pare down some of these totally unnecessary plots/characters for scenes that will be hotter because we know and care about the characters involved. I can look up cg art of fantasy people having sex anytime I want, but what's fun about games like this are investing in the characters and having the sex mean something for the game/story. I don't mind a cast of characters, maybe exploring different fetishes with different characters as is common in these games, but it's really easy to just make a new character and start new plots, it's harder to continue them. Watching devs continually start new ideas and let old ideas (or the main plot) fall to the wayside is troubling and isn't a good sign for a game. A poll may highlight that.
I think I'm actually mostly in agreement with you, I hate games-by-committee. I don't think this game is intentionally milking people or that the devs don't have vision. I wouldn't want the devs to totally abandon their ideas and blindly follow a poll. But again the people aren't asking for an absurd amount with a minor character, they are asking for more content with the characters who were teased in the intro, basically we want what we were told the game would be about, what the devs told us it would be about. And while there is a decent amount of content between them, more than any other single couple in the game, when you look at the recollection room they don't account for that much of it. There is a ton with characters that don't have any real weight to them. These updates take a while to come out, so Id maybe suggest some big 4 content each update? As well as some other stuff? Keep adding new stuff but not if it comes at the expense of the important stuff. Show us it's going somewhere.
Agreed, it's like that blue water guy Alexia fucks in Draith's dungeon, hot scenes, very well done, but he kinda has more than greyhide and xzaratl. But I have hopes the devs will fix that, after they add more Jeerza content cuz she's lacking a bit with Alexia and Rowan compared too her brother with Alexia and Rowan. Why I'ma wait a bit on the new content after like several updates of added scenes. So there's a bunch of scenes to explore and look for when I replay. :D :sneaky: (y)

Is the steam version the same as the game released in here. If not which one is more updated?
The F95 version and the Steam version are the same. Since the Steam version is usually released later, the F95 version is the most recent.

Be advised that SoC's Steam version currently only supports Windows.

For this reason, if you're a Mac user and don't know how to make a macOS distribution using the relevant Renpy SDK, I would advise against buying SoC on Steam right now.

Which is why we won't explore the other 5 realms the same way we did Rosaria.

No.

Next year. I'd say... 5 releases more?
I have a question for the creators. Don't you ever get the feeling that your game could've been much more successful had it not been an H-game? Besides all the possible ways to market and spread normal games?

I'm genuinely curious.

Well, the game has this variable (rowan_intro):
Python:
# adult mode (NSFW)
adult = True

Hey all. Haven't revisited this game for about 6 months.
I see an update was released early Oct but changelog says "N/A"

So what is diff from newest 4.01 and the previous release 3.13?
I did download 3.13 just hadn't played it.

Thanks.

Are you using old saves? Don't use old saves.
Started a new game. First time playing it actually.

Edit : Issue got solved. I downloaded from a different link(Used GoFile first, then now downloaded using workUpload) and extracted the contents using 7zip. Not getting the error.

More succesful, maybe. Better, certainly not. The best stories/games will always come from people who follow their artistic vision, not those who want to create "succesful" media and approach the creative process like a PR department condensed in one person - that's why we have a billion shitty YA novels being churned out and endorsed as New York times best sellers nowadays!

In fact, Seeds of Chaos easily has better writing than Baldur's Gate 3 in my opinion, (BG3 has some amateurishly bad writing in parts, especially in the way it handles evil alignment characters like Minthara or true soul Nere) and I'm pretty certain it would only be dragged down and feel more commercial and soulless of an artistic product if they removed all the erotica from it... In fact, could you even call it "Seeds of Chaos" anymore if all the 18+ content was removed, with how central it was to the main plot between Rowan, Jezera, Andras and Alexia?

Of course, but i am considering a particular crossroad. I'm aware that NSFW games often face less stringent scrutiny when it comes to quality assessment, unlike their 'indie' normal counterparts. Perhaps for the same reason some furry artists make 6 figures on Patreon, while artists working in more traditional genres struggle to achieve the same results.

I don't want to put the cart before the horse, however, I am keen to avoid limiting my work's potential after months of dedicated writing and planning due to a lapse in judgment on my part. Besides, i believe both paths could align with the central idea of SoC potentially with few adjustments.

Also, adopting a pragmatic approach, doesn't have to make a soulless game, in fact i would wager that ignoring your market makes a much worse game. Certainly not to the extent of a PR department, but to gauge the demand for your work, will enable you to make discerning choices that strike a balance between your artistic vision and your followers financial support.

I guess it all boils down to a coin toss (y)

You essentially get a better map, actual side quests on the map (wow) with rewards.
New army rebalance is kinda weird but that might just be my SoC boomer brain having Stockholm with the way it's been the past forever.

How do I access the side quests on the map? Im walking directly over the tiles the <<!>> is on but I think because I've already been over them the event isn't triggering?

So is there a way to have Rastedel not on fire or have more control of it or is this just a point that is universal in all paths?

I haven't played through in awhile and I haven't dug into all the choices you make and impacts they have on that but based on commentary from others and what I saw a large chunk of the city is gonna go up in flames no matter what. You have some control over what parts and I think can make a difference in just how much but it is always gonna burn.

At this point i think the game would have been far better if it was a VN, with some "semi-sandbox" moments like in being a dik, the game is progressing too slowly, and the sandbox part is just basically map moving with a lot of RNG, it's not an interesting part of the game at all.

I think that any dev should know the limit of what can be done with what he have, the project is a little bit too ambitious, and this will not lead to a good ending unfortunatly.
Agree with semi sandbox, probably sandbox in castle room and management with some occasions explore will do good and speed up without missed anything since first act was more than enough rpg action ig.

So, still no content for conquering anything on the mainland outside the small continent Rastedel is on, right?

If we are to assume there are 5 more provinces and/or countries on the mainland that are as big as Rastedel's realm, (we already know about the empire of sand, the drow lands where the drow queen Jezera killed was from and a couple other places from side missions, plus that the continent itself is called "The six realms"...) that means, at the current pace, if the devs were all 20 at the time they started working on this project 7 years ago, and assuming all the other realms do get finished in 7 years, (as the current one wasn't, at least not on the goblin path) that would mean this game will be finished by 2058/2059, when those fornerly 20 year-old devs would've reached a ripe young age of 62 or 63! :unsure: :LOL:

Can somebody please tell them to focus on what matters, mainly progressing the story and main questline? They are dilligent devs that put out updates relatively often, but I feel that the plot always progresses at a crawling pace! I wouldn't even mind updates that have no new erotic content whatsoever, just so we eventually get to part 2 and see the rest of Solanse and the empire of the Twins (or of one twin we choose to side with) rise! It's really frustrating and it'd be such a shame for this game, with such beautiful plot and atmosphere and deep interesting characters like Jezera, Cliohna, Shaya, Andras and several others, to never be finished!

It'd be nice if they stopped expanding the cast any further or doing any fan service with erotic scenes for a while, (as there's plenty of hot ones already for many tastes, including purist femdomphiles like myself who won't enjoy anything else, and I'm sure they'd manage to weave at least a couple sex scenes into the main plot...) or scrapping whatever else the devs think eats up most of their time and just focused on advancing the main plot, at least for a couple updates! As I said, it'd be a real shame for this gem of a game to get abandoned, so hopefully the devs will read my maths from 2 paragraphs above and do something to keep the game's scope more manageable and still get to tell their story in this lifetime!
Nah, do you forgot about fae event? If they're emissary then ... Won't they have impact on story bc they've stay at castle as guest.
You might've been right about other characters already have enough porn H scene (example : our goblin merchant) but there's other who barely have anything too well, idk how much fae event been updated but i can count it's 3-4 update they got included latest and even female fae (don't remember name) have like 1-2 i think while other male fae compare to our blacksmith have much gaps content currently (maybe not in future).

I think it's better than speed up and wait 3-5 months bc coding new code from act 1 brance which haven't finished as fae or other goblin route and delay our act 2 on cliffhanger.
At least while do h scene, they actually do and give patreon their perk about scene aka poll power and try updated not much attention like male fae (whitescar)
Go and find game list for me that have speed up and not lack content then I'll believe your vision.

I saw in some online galleries some time ago a lot of scenes with the dream fae. But I never get them when playing. Were they taken out at some point to introduce later? orr I am doing something wrong.
