I dont feel like it matters much, the only thing i always make sure to do first is build a forge since a few of the greyhide scenes are locked behind a max corruption (if you play to dirty you cant access it later) other than that i would say tavern for income and the reserch that lets you move further. You can reload almost every roll check to force a possitive outcome if that is your style of minmaxing

That's understandable. The grand finale of Rosarian chapter is approaching, and even when we're done with Rastedel I assume that there would be a lot of things to wrap up, so when you say that you, Rein and the rest of the team is busy as shit, I believe you.
And tbh Andras x Alexia quality bonding is lower on my priority list than I make it seem. The superb Jezera x Alexia is the main reason I've noticed that Andras got the short end of the stick.
On the other hand, as Sexinati pointed out, Andras may not have a lot of meaningful events with Alexia and Rowan or just general moments where he's not acting like one-dimentional domineering demon warrior guy because he hasn't had his time to shine yet. And I believe that you guys indeed have a lot of quality Andras in store for us. All we have to do is wait.

never said it did. and you never requested a all scene unlock. i also said i don't know how far it was..... and also the CG pack i uploaded has all images
Thanks.
By the way, I think there might be a bug in the latest version: I'm not getting any descriptions for my items or hers when I trade with the goblin merchant lady and I can't see how much gold I personally have (not the gold in the keep, my personal gold). I also can't see descriptions for items in my room. I only know whether something is good to equip or not after I actually equip it and see the stats change. Also, I can't build the things I want even though I have the gold for them. I assume that's because I need to research them before I'm allowed to build? But I'm not quite sure.
The items have no impact that i can find other then make a few combat rolls higher i think(and you can save scum to make all of them i think)
Personally i have not bothered bying anything the last 6 updates i think
Yes a few buildings are locked behind research
Thanks for the info but this is for sure a bug. I played the game early on in development and there used to be item names and stuff when you hovered over them. At the very least you could check them somehow, and the gold you had on you.

You take that back! The Dragonslayer is mine... Mine I tell you!
That's unfortunate, I thought they were a welcome bit of variety in that it allowed you to customize your character in a personal way instead of the more broad army-building that you do otherwise by dictating research and construction. Is the goblin lady just going to be a gold-intake modifier from now on then? I recall one of the research projects supposedly expands her inventory. All the same though, you guys are making a quality game here. I'm a Rowan x Female guy but I appreciate the desire to make sure it has something in it for everybody.

Andras is schedule to have a mid-corruption event that mirror's Alexia X Andras, but it got scheduled for later as I want to start working on Rastedel.
Can't keep adding stuff. The game is pretty bloated with mechanics as it is, and when it came to the question of "Will items really contribute in a meaningful way to the gameplay, or would they be another underutilized mechanic people barely even notice is there?", I decided it's best to be done with them
I'm curious in that case, how will rewards from events be handled like the pieces of equipment you sometimes find? Or stuff like Cla-Min's sword she bribes you with in exchange for you knocking her up? Permanent stat buffs?

i would say that its generally the best idea to cross out the items, since the game isn't nearly done and we already have a HUGE amount of content and i think it could be a hassle to code them in.
Judst concentrate on the writing and try to work towards the end of the rastadel part. love you guys

Hello everyone,
So last month was pretty decent, we had a nice bump and we got the release out on time as usual. This month has also started well, so hopefully that will continue.
The important thing I have to talk about today is the survey. It has been a year since the last one, even though it doesn't feel like it. We have some new questions on the 2019 edition, suggested by other members of the team. Like last year, I will give it a couple of weeks and then make a post comparing the public and backer results, but for now, you can fill out the survey here:
[DO NOT FILL THIS OUT IF YOU ARE A BACKER - You have a separate survey in the next post down.]

In other news, work on the new release is well underway. I'm just waiting for the rest of the sketches from MDN and then I'll be sharing them with the backers as usual. Sommy is working on a narrative CG for the Rastedel arc, which you can see above, and it looks stunning as usual. Winter is once again focusing on Rastedel content, to move the narrative on, while Rein is trying to get his mechanics overhaul finished so we can start coding it all soon. We'll have some fae content from Phoenix, and some random event stuff for Valaska to help pad the release out though.
That is all for today. This month's release will be on the 31st, and we are very close to being done with the final public demo of Jessika's Curse, so I will be sharing that with everyone soon as well.

Whelp, I've done my civic duty and done the Survey... Here are my thoughts.
Ahahahahah... I want some tits, that's the best, most straight-out direct survey option I've seen!
Which male would Rowan pursue a romantic, loving relationship with? Okay, that's an honest question... but Andras is an option... really!? Come on, A romantic and loving relationship with Andras... oh man, I don't think even Barry White can work his magic to this!
Oh shit. I casually want to see what this would look like, now. Thanks survey, thank you for giving me thoughts of a Suave Andras with a rose in his mouth like in Shrek 2!

As a long time patron, I've been underwhelmed by the latest updates. A month is a long time to wait for two or three scenes when many of them aren't even relevant to my interests. As a writer, I understand all the hard work going into developing the story and non-erotic stuff, but its still a let down. I mostly became a patron because I liked the world and characters, but over the past year the main characters have barely developed at all. I seems like you're spreading yourself too thin writing-wise, and may want to stop adding more elements to the story until you've developed the ones you have. Seriously, just say no to more characters and story tangents.
You don't need a goblin or an ogre quest. You need to develop the original characters and create some payoffs.

Survey completed. Fairly extensive. Even wrote up a comment about Black Ness, the spidergirl monster.;P
Some thoughts from way back in the day (circa 2017, page 14):
"Black Ness" is an interesting (and powerful) drider--a spidergirl monster. I was really hoping it wasn't a one-off and that Rowan can have further encounters with her. Perhaps due to their first shared experience when Rowan visits the Breeding Pits, Rowan and Ness favors one another much more than the other "handlers" or "monsters", respectively. Rowan might come to appreciate the strength and "beauty" of Ness over several nonsexual visits, and in a similar fashion, likewise for Ness. Conceivably, Nessy just adores Rowan so much that she escapes the Holds once more only for her to sneak her way towards Rowan's bedchamber. Who knows what could happen then?! Maybe she just hides there until she decides to pounce on Rowan who is all the while blissfully unaware to rekindle that once shared experience. Nessy and Rowan might develop a strong bond of trust and maybe Nessy allows Rowan to mount her (no pun intended) and becomes Rowan's battlemount! Just think how scary that could be for someone on the receiving end--seeing a mounted knight, not on a horse, but a fearsome (and cute?) drider as they wade into battle together! Strength, three-dimensional mobility, unique powers, and the cunning of the rider to utilize them all while in battle! Awesomeness.
I'm going to go find and watch an episode of Monster Musume after this... lol.

I was sort of working on a week by week breakdown of how I try to optimize the first few weeks of exploration so I'd remember for future playthroughs, though I trailed off on that and it's been a while since I've actually restarted the game, so I haven't gotten back to it yet. Here's a loose breakdown that assumes you're okay with savescumming.
As of version 0.3.0, the game has received major updates to its gameplay systems. This guide was written before that, so please be mindful that some information may be out of date.
Disclaimer: I'm mostly working off memory and briefly poking around some of my save files here, so there are probably some mistakes. Anyone reading this, please feel free to inform me if you find any, or have any alternate ideas on some of the opinions I've presented here. Thanks! Also sorry this got quite a bit wordier than I intended.

That sort of depends on how you look at it. True, Andras's scenes with Alexia are shallower, but that reflects his interest in the affair—he's only really interested in her to sate his lust and to demonstrate his power over her and Rowan, it doesn't really go any deeper than that. Jezera's interest in Alexia is more complex, and so the scenes she has with her are more involved (which is what makes them, imo, more interesting).
That said, even with the recent Jezera update, Andras has more scenes with Alexia (though granted, not much in the way of penetrative sex). JezeraxAlexia has, I believe, 4 scenes, while AndrasxAlexia has 6, 7 if you include the tavern harassment scene. That doesn't seem like a huge difference, but it's 50% more scenes. 50% more updates devoted to the one pairing than the other, though I won't make any presumptions about how much time the scenes take to write.
