Ren'Py Seeds of Chaos [v0.4.10] [Vénus Noire]

[Ajinkya22]

Changelog of 0.4.06

Okay, here it is. A little later than I would have liked, and not a huge release due to writers also having issues, but I'll try to make up for it in the next release when there's less going on.

Honestly, only play this game for the Rowen/Andras scenes (nothing like a big dicked demon stud fucking a hot twink). Wish it was just a VN of those two.

Latest report

Things are well underway regarding the next release. I'm trying to make the most of my motivation and push forward with finishing the Andras NTR arc. It has undergone some positive changes due to my dissatisfaction with the original idea, and thanks to some discussions with Rein, who provided some excellent suggestions, I've come up with something I'm a lot happier with. The bad news (for me, not you lot) is that it has gone from requiring one event to wrap up before the epilogue to three more, but for those who enjoy this particular storyline, I think you'll be really happy with what is coming. I'm hoping to keep up the momentum and finish another event for the next release.

Moving away from myself to the other writers - DM and Winter are doing the same thing they did last week and collaborating on another Che-Lin event, so hopefully, we'll have another for the July release. Winter is also rolling solo on some Jezera content and a Rowan x Helayna scene and, hopefully, will have those to turn in. Speaking of Helayna, Nyx is busy this release, so may turn in a small Helayna event, but will likely be too busy to do anything. Likewise Hooky is also very busy and unlikely to be able to contribute anything. Rein, however, is continuing his monumental task of making the Battle of Astarte epic and hoping to finish the dominant Rowan version of the Jezera sex scene, so I look forward to more of that.

In terms of the new writers, all of them turned in good events for the last release, showing a decent enough grasp of the way we make the game, so we are onboarding them onto core content straight away to continue the push to finish Act I before I die of old age. Gern is working under Rein to help him finish out the X'zaratl NPC arc, while Roland is helping out on goblins, and whimrho is helping Hooky with fae. They'll all be turning in material relating to these areas for the next release.

You should consider putting timestamps on these. (This one was June 10th- so over two months ago).

Posting status updates that are about the second to last update and presenting it as "the latest" is confusing even if it is the last time the developer did a "news from the realm."

Though it does highlight the things that didn't get done that were supposed to be released this last update. Fae and Goblin events. Oof.

I do wonder which of the various writers ended up doing Helenya this rotation. My money is on Nyx. I haven't always been happy with their work but that hommie is a paper mill. Bro can churn out content like a buzz saw churns out sawdust and cut planks.

Honestly, only play this game for the Rowen/Andras scenes (nothing like a big dicked demon stud fucking a hot twink). Wish it was just a VN of those two.

Heh, different strokes. A lot of folks wish the game was more focused in all sorts of different directions. We are opposite sides of the same coin.

Rowan's appearance is prob my least favorite thing about the game. Emma Watson lookin', basic anime chud lookin, boring human manlet.

Bro is painfully middling. And yes, I know he "needs to be that way" to support/enhance the NTR and submissive plots. And yes, I know he is objectively beautiful / good looking. But he is both those things in a super generic / effeminite sorta way.

Yes he varies from scene to scene based on his dominance- but there is only so far in the dominant direction the developers can reasonably stretch napoleon-ette the anime protagonist without a transormation or something.

It's not that he "needs to be" or anything like that. Rowan was a country man that was recruited by the kingdom to fight in the war against Chaos(The twins' father specifically). Being one from the country side, he was neither a noble nor one with a lineage, hence his country-bumpkin appearance.

Him being a commoner also means that he has to be careful of what he says and does especially in front of nobility and those of higher political positions than him. That's the realistic detail that the devs assigned to him.

Also, him being submissive and stuff is only because of the collar tying him down. Unless you've forgotten, Rowan was the central figure to lead the united forces of mankind against the Chaos forces, which also means he was in the position to command the Goddesses heroes.

So in my gameplay at least, I have him as the "will take risks, yet have a compassionate and uncompromising heart" personality.

[Foreeever]

my sad attempt of the replay mod for 0.4.06 created 256,257,258,259,260 plus added to 235, 250 and 254 their newly added cgs, probably missing some variables here and there but most of the new stuff is visible and i am not providing full info like opaquecake is am not fully sure how he was spreading them so they won't work too well with the sorting

260 was part of a big event so i left a small part of it where the cgs are found

let me know how it works as it's first time when i try doing this and might fail hard
l.e. swapped them on 26.08 with a version with a bit more info for the mod filtering
l.e.2: for instalation copy to the game folder, as described by opaquecake
l.e.3: for version 0.4.08 you have the above link by opaquecake, added this edit as this is still the pinned message
link for 0.4.07
link for 0.4.09
l.e: seems that from 0.4.10 the game comes with updated mod so i will go and retire somewhere

So which men have gay content and how much? I know of Greyhide, Andras and dwarf man (Andras is the hottest but he's also not appealing personality wise). Any others? I would like a more intimate interaction with someone who isn't a cow man.

I'm there with you. Andras is super fucking hot but his personality. While I like Greyhide's personality but am not into bestiality. If only they could combine the two and then Rowen and the new Andras could fall for each other

when you explore you meet some guys along the way, it actually gives you the option of whether you're going to interact with a male or a female. You also have that incubus, the twink dark elf who works in the breeds pits, I think an Orc chief, the Whitescar (furry/wolf wtv), an arachnoid creature.

This might be discriminatory, but I'm personally not into beast/fae races, so it's hard for me to go those routes. Andras is an exception, and ngl I wouldn't mind some omegaverse stuff with Rowan×Andras

 

[Nym85]

I'm there with you. Andras is super fucking hot but his personality. While I like Greyhide's personality but am not into bestiality. If only they could combine the two and then Rowen and the new Andras could fall for each other

If you built favor with Andras, he changes how he interacts with Rowan quite a bit.
I like Minotaurs in erotica but Greyhide is drawn too soft (which fits his character) and I find the main point of the Minotaur is the huge dick and Rowan barely makes use of it.
The twink drow arc is pretty damn complete and I'd say it is solid. I wish it was kinkier cause that twink can take it (e.g. a DP with Rowan and Andras or threesomes or even fisting).
The grey dwarf arc has two scenes but he seems to be the NPC they decided to drop. Honestly given we have the drow, Andras and Greyhide, I don't mind.
Rowan does have at least two outdoor encounters with humans were he is a bottom. Again here I'd rather he was verse but they are still good scenes with good CGs.
There is only one encounter with Rowan getting topped by an Orc (and it is in a threesome with Andras no less). I wish they'd gone for the DP but sadly it wouldn't happen. There is another one with Rowan topping an "Orc" that looks entirely human. I wish we had at least one outdoor encounter where things went bad when Rowan tried to recruit some orcs resulting in at least their chief fucking him (I'd rather have a gangbang but that ain't gonna happen ); we do after all get something like that with female orcs. And I do think it is weird that among the major castle NPCs there is not an orc that is someone Rowan can interact with regularly. There is potentially Tarish who is female.

We definitely need more Rowan/male orc(s) actions

The twinky drow has definitely potential but the fact that I see Tina Fey in his face kinda removes me from the fantasy

I'm curious about what you say on the difference in interaction between Andras and Rowan; by memory, I seem to recall that Andras always treats him like a slut and tends to degrade him (possibly in public, which is surely hot). Which scenes are you thinking about?

Seeds of Chaos is a good example of what often goes wrong without someone with experience in control. It's the "kid in a candy store" mentality. Game development goes one of two ways; either you've got a project that no one puts a lid on and the scope goes wildly out of control, or you have someone ready, willing, and able to say no to the many things that the creative types on the project want to do.

The candy store problem is exacerbated in Seeds of Chaos due to the nature in which content is delivered. You're on a map that is far too large for the amount of story content, with events that are not guaranteed to spawn, with stats that play a part in whether or not certain events will spawn, in between specific events tied to locations that are in some cases reliant upon whether or not certain events have spawned. So we're left with a development team that has to create a lot of largely irrelevant content to fill in the map, and then there's the events that are tied to the castle, and Alexia's job, and her alignment, and her allegiances, and Rowan's alignment, and his allegiances, and what he's done in past events, and so on and so forth. All of this is further exacerbated by the fact that as the game developed the actual game mechanics eventually required an overhaul because, well, they were shit and kind of still are.

All of this is indicative of a development team that does not understand how to maintain the scope of a project. If we're ever going to see this three act play completed then they're going to need someone with the knowledge of how to direct a project. They need a detailed design document, a project bible that contains the intended content, and a director who maintains it and has the objectivity and authority to keep the scope from going out of control by cutting content. The inmates are running the asylum and that is and will always be a problem for game development.

I think the dispersion and lack of plan was what almost damned the game at a certain point, with the story rushed to the act I end without a structure and many holes behind, plus the multiplication of characters, but I think they have a more structured approach since some time and it shows (despite being slow).
Surely there are some elements that are innate andifficult/impossible to tweak.

I do not mind the random events on the map because they provide flavour and a good feeling of an actual world, although yes, i would have probably prioritised the main storylines.
