Hello seedlings,
Happy new year to you all, I hope you enjoyed the holiday season. I had a nice break, but now it is back to work, as Rastedel is on the horizon. December was a very good month for us, the best in a long time, but as you know I’m not one to rest on my laurels, so we’ll keep pushing on. Ten thousand is finally in our sights, and hopefully this release will be the one to push us over.
The January Release
Speaking of this release, I will start with it, as this post is likely to end up quite long, and I know this is what most of you care about.
It is shaping up rather nicely now, I have a lot to code, and more to come, as everybody else works hard on their part. It will be even bigger than our last release, with more words, more CGs, and more sex scenes, making it our largest update ever. I already have quite a bit of writing from Winter and Hooky, who are continuing to work on Rastedel to make sure it gets finished. Hooky is also doing a bit of Greyhide content as well, which may also find its way into the update if time permits. Rein is also working on getting his part of the Rastedel arc done, and DM has done a few more map events like he did for the last release.
On the art side, we already have all the work from last month, and both Sommy and MDN are already working on their CGs for this month. As usual we’ve got another 8 CGs from MDN coming (on top of the 8 from last month), and these will have limited variants this time because Sommy is very busy working on his own CGs (we’ll go back and add them later though, so don’t worry). I’m really excited about what Sommy is doing this month, I don’t want to spoil it, but it is epic in every sense of the word, and I’m sure it will turn out to be my favourite thing in the game. As always I will start sharing the roughs with the backers as soon as I get them from MDN, I won’t be posting Sommy’s work though, as not to spoil the story.
So, release date? You guys know how I feel about releasing on time, I’d like to give myself as much time as possible to get everything in, so the date for the next version will be the last possible day, which is the 31st (a Friday).
2019 Retrospective
Moving on, I think I can happily say that 2019 was a good year for the game. We made a lot of progress, adding hundreds of thousands of words, around 100 CGs, and a ton of new sex scenes. The funding also increased, and between that, the social accounts, and

, we have a lot more eyes on the game than ever before. The thing I’m most proud of - all our releases last year were on time, and we had a pretty solid run on the monthly schedule, before switching back to bi-monthly. We also did our yearly poll, which showed the vast majority of people (both backers and non-backers) were very happy with how the game is shaping up, which is always great to hear.It has been a bit of a mixed year for me myself. I’ve had quite a hard time personally, but I’ve never allowed it to affect the game. The main result was that I had to spend all the free time I did have coding, when I would have liked to write more, especially with how well my “Powerless” event was received. It hasn’t impacted the game negatively, as Winter and co are doing a great job on the writing side, but one of my goals this year is to try and write a bit more. I’ve got a few ideas about scenes (including the “Powerless” followup people keep asking for), so hopefully you’ll be seeing and enjoying those in the near future.
Speaking of the future, our roadmap for the year is pretty simple - keep working on finishing act one. After we tie Rastedel up, we will be implementing the long-awaited mechanics update. Most of the core coding has been done now, it just needs events to be updated, and vigorous testing. All of the writers will be working on creating narrative arcs for each non-central castle NPCs, so you’ll be seeing events chains for Cla-Min, Greyhide, and co similar to what Rein has done for Cliohna. Finally, we’ll also be adding another race recruitment chain similar to the Orciad, this time for the goblins. Later in the year, we will also begin pre-production for the second act.
So, overall as I said at the beginning, a good year for the game. I have always thought we have something special here, and I think the hard work we’ve been putting in over the years is starting to pay off. The game is getting better all the time, and it is also starting to become a bit more successful as well, which always helps. Hopefully, 2020 will be an even better one.
Steam
Finally, a bit of surprise news - After a bit of wrangling with Valve to ensure it met their terms and conditions, Seeds of Chaos has been approved for sale as an early access title on Steam. I’ll talk more about this later in the month when the store page goes live (so you can all wishlist it, wink wink nudge nudge), but for now here is the important stuff:
- It will cover act one, with later acts being released as sequels.
- It will cost $19.99.
- It will always be behind the Patreon version, with updates having larger time gaps than the Patreon.
- Valve had no problem with any of the game content, so nothing has been removed or censored.

Since the later arcs will be released as separate games on steam, does that mean that we won't be able to import our saves?
Carrying over variables from one RenPy game/separate act to another is possible and has been done before, though I can't remember the games in question. So hopefully something like that'll be the case here. Hard to imagine given all the different character states and stats that a new act would be just a full blank slate.
Arioch's already said Ren'Py supports carrying over variables, and this will be done in the new acts (as well as some system to generate the story from questions if you didn't play it).

Well, since the Steam release is officially approved, I’m curious about what the impressions of the open perverts on the non-porn gaming forums I frequent will be.
So can you finally stop being a betamale in this game and kill the demon bother and feed him his own chopped off cock? Or is it still in perma enslaved betamale mode. Can you at least grow a bigger dick than this mary sue cuck villain yet and show him whose boss or anything yet?

My your user name is very apt. As to your questions, no, not yet, but maybe in one of the game's endings when it's finished. Only 2/3 of the game left! ^_^
Having to wait till the end of the game to not be a slave is pretty shitty I have to say. Well I'll pass then, being a beta to some dude who is endlessly trying to cuck you and is designed entirely for that purpose(lol my dicks bigger than yours) isn't something I would enjoy. I also doubt we would even ever be able to get proper revenge on this person with how much the creators seem to play him up from what I've read.

I mean, I don’t know what you’ve read, but it’s entirely possible to play the entire game as it exists so far without getting cucked by anyone, even if you don’t turn the NTR off (which is also possible at the beginning of the game). There are a couple of instances where the main character gets to one-up the demon in question, and it’s possible to side with his sister against him on several occasions.
If you’re looking for a game where you get to Kool-Aid Man your way through obstacles and instantly dominate all potential rivals, I’m afraid this isn’t it; the premise of the story is that you’re being forced to do the bidding of some people who are simply stronger than you and who have your wife hostage. The main character is relatively strong himself, but is presented as more of a crafty type compared to his captors. We’ll likely see paths to beginning to overcome them substantially sooner than the endings (I would guess those paths will at least start to become established in the next act), but it’ll still take the main character time to execute them, otherwise the story’s just plain over.
Again, if what you want is alpha male simulator 2020, look elsewhere, but if you’re getting cucked and fucked in this game, your choices are entirely to blame.

I'd expect a game where you can actually do something about your problems instead of spending a large part of the game being enslaved to someone who only exists for the authors cuckold fetish basically. If as you say that becomes an actually thing sooner then the ending then I might consider giving the game a chance, but considering how long this game has been around and it doesn't look much work has gone into that aspect of the game at all, I doubt it.

I once again have to stress that if you’re being cucked in this game, your own choices are all that’s led you there. SoC allows you to avoid all cuckoldry and nearly all possible displays of submission entirely, while also allowing you to take several sexual partners, both dominantly and on equal footing, with few significant consequences at this stage in the game. Yes, you’re working for two people against your will, but unless you allow them to do otherwise, they generally leave you to your own devices as long as you fulfill the main tasks they ask of you (which mostly take the form of “conquer this place” or “recruit that army”).
I’m not sure where you’re getting the impression that this is some kind of cuckold fantasy unless all you’re reading is the NTR tag and literally nothing else.
Maybe that's what he keeps playing over, and over, like it's half past cuck-o'clock every time?
So does drokks ever have sex with Alexia or does he just stick the tip in and that's it. On my play through andras hurts him but does it end differently if I don't have andras favor?

Eh, playing devil's advocate and it mostly only applies to the twins, but SoC sometimes suffers from "embrace the fetish or get nothing" syndrome. With almost every single side-quest or side-event involving the twins, you need to bail out ASAP or someone is getting fucked and either Rowan or Alexia are going to get corrupted (Alexia's magic book, anytime Jezera asks litterally anything, anytime Andras stumbles upon Alexia).
It gets rather tiresome to have to skip so much side-content the moment the twins get involved if you're going for a "good route" with minimal corruption and avoiding NTR. Would be nice if there were more opportunities to interact with the twins without it unavoidably leading to sex and corruption, or at least ways to finish some of the side-quests without needing to choose between abandoning them with no closure or letting something bad happen to Rowan or Alexia.
