Back too much to reply to in detail. We'll keep in mind the feedback to tighten up word choice in the poll.
Ren'Py Seeds of Chaos [v0.4.11a Patreon] [Vénus Noire]
Guys, can you give me tips and/or resources to play the game as a normal rpg. How you gain gold and recruit an army for the twins? Any other tips? All I do is wander aimlessly in the wild until thrown into the dungeon again.

Without spoiling things too much for you, there's two game ending events that you'll need to avoid once you agree to work with the Twins. They occur around week 22 and week 60 (or thereabouts; going by memory here). However, what you'll need to do is establish a good revenue stream from taking over villages and mines (found by exploring the map), and building certain improvements at Bloodmeen (such as the Tavern). Also, you should try to keep your research going at good rate by building the appropriate structures, taking over Abbeys, and recruiting Succubi (?). These units are a force multiplier that add to your overall military strength as well as providing research bonuses.
To avoid the first gameover event, you'll need to fulfill the objectives the Twins placed upon you--capturing Raeve Keep. It's just east (right) of the starting portal immediately pass the bridge across the river. Do this after you've explored a bit and got a few villages under your influence. (Many of the starting villages are near and along the "circular" road next to the starting portal.) Bear in mind that you'll also need to have 500 gold crowns in the treasury as well to satisfy this win condition. Your personal wealth is NOT taken into account.
After gaining control of Raeve Keep, you'll have to figure out a way to gain an army to march upon the capitol in this region to avoid the second game over event around week 60. From the starting portal, if you follow along the trade road going north and then west along the river you'll eventually see a bridge going north that has an Abbey immediately on the next hex up. Just northeast of that is the "second" portal for this region; however, you'll find a hex that looks like an orc village to the northwest a few hexes away.
Starting on the bridge hex here, it's three hexes up, one hex NW, and finally one hex to the SW (or Abbey, Road, Road up, then Road and finally Orc Village hex). This orc village is actually an orc encampment. You can find an army to recruit from here but you'll need several weeks to influence events (and there are many ways to do it) to get them into your fold.
Rastedel is found along the trade roads to the Northeast region of this map; it's large and impossible to miss. Good luck and have fun, HaiRen!

Probably not the most helpful answer but tbh there's nothing quite like it or at least if there is I haven't found it yet. The closest I can think of are the Last Sovereign, Legend of Queen Opala Origins and Roundscape. All of which are in RPG maker rather than Ren'py though.
LOQOO has a serious amount of downtime in between scenes even for an rpgm game. Last Sovereign has no art for the sex scenes it's all text based which isn't for everyone. So be aware of that if you want to try them, I gave up on LOQO myself.
I second Roundscape, that game is probably the most similar to this one. Though it actually has combat mechanics and working items.
Another one that is pretty decent is Claire's Quest, through from what I can tell its pretty simplistic where you play as a girl name Claire and you basically get to decide if she becomes a slut / get constantly harassed or raped.

You need to first clear your own village which is north of the starting point.
How what is the army strength required? And how much money do you need?
Cause I have over 1K gold and 525 army strength?

Oof, I hope your fourth game when it comes around is a Male MC then, because this one is basically both anyway. Does Venus just have no desire to make Male MC games anymore, or is this just the way it ended up?

If you mean Reave Keep, you only need *rubs temple* 150+ Military strength (and 500 crowns in the treasury), or you can infiltrate it and bring it down using a spy. If you go there, the game will proceed along its plotline but afterwards you get to control when to actually attempt the takeover. The game will let you know if you'll be able to or not.
If on the other hand, you meant Rastedel, then it's not just about your army--you'll need another army to join with Bloodmeen's.
I don't want to spoil things for you. Gaining this Horde is a pretty big deal and there are many ways to accomplish that; and it's actually pretty fun to do. Again, this orc encampment currently has the only unaffiliated army so far in the game and is found near the upper, second portal to this region. It's west (left) of this second portal--just follow the road west from the portal. Specifically, from this second portal it's one road hex north, three road hexes west, and orc village hex. Easy-peasy.
You'll be fine. Just play the game; you're not going to blow it. Have fun getting that Orc Horde Army to follow you! Just remember, you'll need several weeks to get them in line; so take that into account.

We believe in good stories. We think that focusing too much on Male MC or Female MC is reflective of the kind of game we're not interested in making. Good stories can exist with different combinations of protagonists. Ideas for other games floated at the studio include Male MC, Female MC, Male and Female MC, Shape shifter MC, pick your gender, and everything in between. Whatever lets us make the best content.
Part of this is the concept of abstraction. Lots of games, including Seeds of Chaos, allow some degree of identification with the protagonist. But, often times requires hollowing out a character. Sometimes, a game like Mass Effect, might make heavy use of Identification. But, this is where abstraction comes in. Many of the best pieces of erotica are derived from being able to view them as erotic stories happening in of itself. As powerful as identification is, it is limiting and requires balancing or sometimes subordination to abstraction.
You don't have to worry. You can play Jessika's Curse and still enjoy it as a straight male. We are designing it in a way where you can abstract if you do not personally wish to identify.

I meant Rastedel. But yeah I am guessing you mean the one with Delane in it? If so then already got them to join me. I just got to week 60 and just had the event that fires, it wasn't what I thought it was when I read your post. I thought the week 60 event was the battle for Rastedel itself but apparently it was a counter attack battle.
