You could go as reductive as taking it down to the three pillars (Combat, Exploration, Social Interaction).
I think the game should have had a stamina system for each week that is shared between traveling to more hexes on the map and taking actions during events
Good stuff, I'm noting it down.

So all the Netorase has been removed right? Not just hidden behind some setting or choice?
I mean, I kinda remember that we didn't mind Alexia fucking with Greyhide and there was even a threesome, but I think all those Rowan X Alexia X Some Other Male have been removed.
The threesome is optional, but that's the only true netorase relationship as it's clear Rowan isn't sharing Alexia with Andras or with anyone else

Please be joking, we don't need another rule change. Keep working on Astarte though, I am really enjoying those updates and I'd love to see something similar for Rastedel (even better if we get some sex scenes at the epilogue).

But yeah, you can always have a simpler version for Act2?

I am assuming that the Andras NTR arc will escalate to actual cucking in Act 2 (possibly with some appropriately AndrasxRowan action though it would probably be a choice).

It's something for me to consider regarding act 2.

I think we can all agree the core gameplay loop of act 1 has issues. At this stage, there's nothing we can do about it. But act 2 is a chance to do things differently.

It's a chance to make brand new mistakes!
God help you. Who thought making a game could end up being this bad

The core gameplay loop has issues because you don't actually have a core gameplay loop. Clicking around on a grid with the occasional dice roll event popping up between fixed event locations is not complex enough to be considered a gameplay loop. Seeds of Chaos has a lot going for it but every single element of its gameplay is not one of them. You've already spent eight years working on a couple of hours of content... don't go tricking yourselves into thinking gameplay is what you should be focusing on. Keep things simple, keep things straight forward, don't rock the boat and maybe you'll finish act 2 in the 2020s.

Getting off-topic, but "gameplay loop" can be simple, and there's literally decades worth of popular games which demonstrate this. All the discussion how it must be "complex" or no-true-scotsmanning it is just intellectual wankery on the level of movie critique.

(that said, i've given my opinion on the map component some time ago upthread, and no, it wasn't "they should make it more complicated", quite the opposite)

does anyone know when the real power in Bloodmeen option gets released?
I haven't decided on the order yet.
Gods help me, the full list of things remaining to be done in Astarte is:

1. Second variant of the bonus sex scene.
2. Rowan Participating in battle.
3. Rowan Taking control of the council.
4. Rowan sabotaging the battle.
5. Zii-Zii alliance during the goblin plot, all routes.
6. Che-Lin alliance during the goblin plot, all routes.
7. Tue-San alliance during the goblin plot, all routes.
8. Helayna participation in the battle.
9. Fae bonus Astarte content.

Participating in the battle is necessary for both Control and Sabotage, so it will release alongside one of the routes. I am leaning towards doing control first, and hope I don't bury myself neck deep in variables.

But it will all be worth it in the end. THE GAME WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT YOUR PAST DECISIONS, AS IT ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE.

Which one is the bonus sex scene? I've seen Andras, Alexia and X'zaratl get scenes. And I guess Jezera's scene with the noble?

I've update the Scene Replay mod for 0.4.05 (download is in the original post). Let me know if you have any issues.

Edit: It was mentioned below that the scenes from 0.4.04, and possibly 0.4.03, are gone. I'll update these later and release a new version for 0.4.05 with the missing content, but it'll take a bit of time. See my message below for further info.
