I'm going to make a game where the wife gets plowed by a demon with a tiny cock. I'm sure that my Patreon will be lit!
This is true and the new dominant Rowan Cliohna scene was fantastic. Rowan finally has had it with Cliohna messing with his head. She is more than obsessive about not just getting him to break but perhaps even of the man himself. I like that its Rowan that's gotten into her head instead. Can't wait to see these two fuck willingly but not just that, I think that a relationship might even form based on mutual respect.

Fair enough. I wasn't trying to come across harshly since I didn't fully know the situation or context. Personally I've experienced it a lot where my jokes about self harm weren't entirely jokes, but everyone laughed along instead of asking if I was ok. It's made me really aware of how often jokes are used to mask real issues, like with Robin Williams. So I get concerned when others do it.The artist is a very dedicated, very tired person who I feel is making their statements entirely as a commentary of their wish to be freed of the drudgery of working for Lord Arioch.
I actually have had, and sometimes still have, suicidal thoughts. I've never acted out on them, but I have done some rather stupid shit that was damaging to my body. To keep things short, Lets just say I have recurring memories or vivid flashbacks of childhood events that fucked me up, and are really painful memories that I recall for no apparent reason and I don't even know what triggers them, suffice to say that I have to relive them every so often. Those are the worst moments in my life.
Given my own personal experience concerning mental health, The artist has not raised any red-flags that I have noticed. And I feel the same way Concerning Lord Arioch, who also has repeatedly made comments about how they would kill themselves in order to free them of the massive burden of ruling over such a large domain as Seeds of Chaos.
Harmless self-deprecation made in jest, that's fine. If they ever did raise statements that concern me personally, I would most certainly raise a fuss about it. Serious mental health issues are most certainly not a joke. But I do feel that seeing every instance of people being Self-depreciative as potentially being a mask for suicidal thoughts is also not great. True enough that it can mask suicidal thoughts, It could also just entirely be made in jest. As such I feel such things ought to be assuaged by feeling out the situation/context so to speak and gauging out whether this is a serious issue or not.
Suffice to say, if anybody around here were to kill themselves, It would likely be me. But there ain't no way I'mma gonna croak until Seeds of Chaos is done. You have my promise.

Yeah, don't worry about these guys. Besides, you didn't come across as being harsh at all.
They actually read our comments (They do that, you know). The Artist stated this "nah i don't play that game. i'm the least person you'll ever think of killing myself."
And if it's any consolation, I too have witnessed people using jokes to mask real-world issues. It certainly is a thing to be cautious of. I've also had several people express their own suicidal thoughts to me in PM's on Internet forums. Not this one. Nooooooot Fun.
Talking to people with suicidal thoughts on the internet, that is a real god-damned hassle. Either it's a made up sap-story about how they will kill themselves to make people emotionally cling to them, largely because of big-time issues... or It is a legit thing and you really are looking at people who do want to kill themselves, also because of big-time issues. And then you go about walking on eggshells because you don't want to set off some C-4 in the room and cause shit to explode, and walking on egg-shells means you can't be frank and tell people to take a fucking break and think things through and reflect on their shit. These suck balls. Big balls.
And talking to them might eventually lead you down into a big, emotional time-sink sinkhole that swallows your enjoyment, your time and your happiness. Don't be surprised if people play onto your feelings and discard you after a couple days. Or if you tell them to seek help, they tell you to fuck off. Ho boy.
I don't even want to deal with that shit. Both because I'm not qualified, and God damnit I've got my own problems to deal with. But I also don't want internet acquaintances knocking themselves off the map either.
I'll take people making joke suicide comments any day over that.

Hey, got a question. What things increase and decrease Alexia’s corruption/ relationship with Rowan?
I know that it is kinda obvious, but I just want to make sure :/
EDIT: is there a way to see those stats in game?

I can't remember too many specific instances, but generally figuring out what increases/decreases relationship is pretty obvious. Taking Helayna, for instance, decreases relationship. Overall being loyal and loving, etc, though obviously that's only in scenes that can get back to her, such as Helayna. (Sleeping with random people outside the castle won't really harm it.)
For corruption, things are even more obvious. Pretty much anything causing her to dabble in Obvious Do Not Dabble In Things, like magic talking books or fruit from corrupted trees, will raise it, as will things like being vindictive towards others. Opposites decrease it. Generally, unlike relationship (Where the choices are mostly Rowan's), corruption is often a choice you make as Alexia. Oh, and keep in mind some of the current corruption scenes also risk Jezera/Andras influence on Alexia, so if you're not into that, it can be a little trickier.
As for seeing the stats in-game, the only real way is to use the console. If you don't know how to enable Ren'Py console, search the thread for "console" or the forums in general for "unren." There's numerous lists of console commands in the thread, but I know for certain a post I made at some point in the thread has the ones for changing AND seeing stats, though not all stats can easily be seen even then. (Pretty sure corruption and relationship are two of the ones that can though.)
