I love this game. The writing is amazing and I think it could eventually rival anything written by GRRM. It's a deliciously dark tale of a hero's fall. The art is amazing and I can't say enough good things about the artists.

But we are at the end of 2023 and arc 2 hasn't even been started much less close to being finished. At this rate the game will take over a decade to complete all arcs. And few games with such long development times actually see the light of day.

I get the impression that they, too, struggle with deciding what to focus on at times.
I know what must be done. I wrote Cliohna because a) People wanted more, b) I needed something lighter to distract myself from the dense jungle of variable states Astarte is growing to be.

I spent the last year pushing out plot events critical for the game's completion. I am allowed to follow my dick for a change.

Here's to another year of people saying "This game will surely be abandoned at some point"!

Gods ... What if I wanted to prevent any NTR and revenge on my foes?
No console commands, but villages have been burned just to raise Rowan's corruption, and X'zaratl has been sidelined to trigger Andras NTR.
Any way to achieve some of all that? Any pacing tips from your dick?

I don't know how hard this would be to code in but I feel at some point the AndrasxAlexia events need to be repeatable to drive home the corruption aspect. Like whenever Rowan is going out to explore there should be a short scene of Alexia getting fucked similar to how some job events are repeatable.

What are the names of new Cliohna events?

I think Heartsong's Lovers path - or whatever the non-Control path is called - has a few bugs. During the dream event recounting her childhood with Whitescar, the Control path gets the scene with the new CGs implemented with the latest update. The Lovers path dovetails into the forest dream sequence instead, where Heartsong and Rowan live as wolves (Scene 157 in the gallery). The forest dream CGs exist already, but they are not implemented in the scene as it currently exists. I assume this is because of how the Fae route has been reworked recently since the CGs were present in the previous iteration of the route.

Additionally, the Lovers route can't access the new scene this update. Attempting to visit Whitescar again after doing the forest dream starts the childhood sequence over again. I assume a flag isn't being set correctly at the end of the forest dream sequence.

Finally, and this is just speculation on my part, but I don't think Scene 155, where Heartsong meets with Rowan for some exposition about the Fae before they optionally have sex in a lake, is currently implemented on either the Lovers or Control path. Given how it starts it seems to me like it was removed during the Fae route rework, but it'd be nice to have some confirmation about that.

There are different paths to Heartsong's content? When and how do you make the choice between them?

Sorry I apologize for my rudeness and I don't mean to be hostile towards people who create a game that I enjoy. I am just a little frustrated by the lack of progress on the main plot. As much as I enjoy goblins and fey and most of the other side characters, the main plot and finding out what happens to Rowan and Alexia's story is what keeps me invested.
