Ren'Py Seeds of Chaos [v0.4.12a Non-Patreon] [Vénus Noire]

[spitfire335]

Maybe in the future befriending some characters like Cliohna, Greyhide or X'zaratl will be the key to backstab the twins. Since none of them seem overly loyal to the twins but instead having their own interests that just happened to align with the demons for the time being.

Those three were the first I was going to talk about too. Those characters and indeed more than a few others have motivations of their own. Nothing is preventing Rowan from currying favor and establishing stronger relationships to the castle denizens. He will likely be given more power as the game progresses. I doubt the developers want the player to feel weak in the middle and end of the game. Likely Rowan will get more powerful in some way as we progress. Who knows maybe the old demon lord's spirit might show up to tell Rowan he is disappointing in his children and wants him to teach them a lesson? It is a fantasy world, anything can happen. For my dominant corrupt Rowan I know where I want this to go, corrupt and seduce everyone to Rowan's side. Gain power, and overthrow Andras (or change him into a sexy red succubus, she can keep the cock or not doesn't matter). Jezera I feel may actually not mind joint rule with Rowan, provided he is corrupt and powerful enough.

Ghost of Karnas: "Maaaaaaan, I raised some fucking pussies. Oi... you... guy how helped kill me... Yes you. Oi, Teach 'em a lesson!"

Rowan: "Man... I should lay off of these Drugs."

*Ten minutes later*

Andras: "I just saw my dad... what an absolute cunt, no wonder why you killed him!"

Rowan: "Yeah..."

Andras: "..."

Rowan: "..."

Andras: "I'm not like him... Am I?"

Rowan: "Nah, you're not as much of a cunt. So you're good!"

Gain ten Influence with Andras

Andras x Rowan route started

Does anyone know how can I achieve that Helayna will stay in the castle? It's my third run and she keep escaping.

Unless something changed, to get Helayna to stay you need to claim her for yourself when capturing Raeve's keep (which means she doesn't get gangraped), after week 30 her event where she regains her senses should play, choose either "Rowan told her it wasn't her fault" or "Rowan put his arm around her", then choose "Rowan confessed he returned Helayna's love", and then choose "Rowan kissed her".

If you do all of the above she won't try to escape and will stay in the castle.

So I tried a playthrough with Rowan doing extreme/rough stuff with Alexia, while she remains a loyal, loving and obedient wife to him, while having high corruption and acting as a kinky slut (to him only). Only doing minor cheat stuff cuz she's forced to (while keeping her vows and remaining loyal to him).

I really love it!

(emphasis added)

Does that include Alexia helping Helyana escape, you finding out, then ratting her out to Andras, agreeing to whip her, then NOT using Jezera's drugs to help her?

Because I saw that chain of events in the code, and wow, Rowan came across as a total jerk there.

Ah, and does that also include Rowan sending people to the salt mine for insulting Alexia, while she looks on in approval? Because that looked fun, but I always choose the other branch in that event...

Not really.

Ratting out Alexia to the twins wasn't really in-character for that playthrough, since Rowan, while having high corruption, use Alexia like a sex toy and have sex and cheat with other chars (whether he wants to or not), he's still devoted to her as a loving caring husband, in a depraved and twisted way. Also I like having Rowan share Alexia with his other lovers, while still maintaining their devotion to each other (Like the 3some with Liurial).

Also I haven't tried sending the dudes who insulted Alexia to the mines, since at that time, Rowan didn't have a high corruption to have it as an option.

I might do the whipping scene again just to see if there is dialogue change if chose not to use Jezera's drug but still have a high relationship with Alexia.

If memory serves, it's not actually possible to whip Alexia (sans drug) if Rowan has a decent relationship with her; if the player tries, he says something to the effect of "Oh my god, what was I thinking, I could never do that!" and the player has to choose one of the alternatives.

Cliohna is clearly best girl

By far the best secondary character

What if having high corruption for Rowan and still have a high relationship with Alexia?

What if having high corruption for Rowan and still have a high relationship with Alexia?

It only checks if Rowan's relationship with Alexia is below 45, and for a bit of flavor variant, whether Alexia is closer to Jezera or Andras. The relevant code:

Hello everyone,

So the final monthly release is out now, and we finished as we started by getting it out on time as always. It was a fun experiment, but I think bi-monthly is going to work better in the long run as previously discussed. Bit of an odd month, we shot up and at one point it looked like we might reach 9k, only to drop back down to just below where we started. Weird, but we push on as always.
So, what is happening for the first bi-monthly release, you ask? As we stated previously, nothing is changing about how we work, so it will be double the size of a normal release (40-50k words, 16 CGs plus variants). The main focus for the next one is Rastedel, Winter will be working on it primarily for both months, and he has drafted on Hooky to help him in that front as well, who'll also be doing a few smaller events. Rein is working on his next Cliohna event as his main priority, but may also add to the Rastedel content if he has time.
On the art front, Sommy is working on the first of two backgrounds (as you can see above) as we work to eliminate the backlog. MDN has sent over the sketches for the first lot of CGs, which I have begun sharing with the backers, and Keidi is making generic sprites we can use for non-important characters.
Going forward, our current plan is to finish Rastedel over the next few months, then switch focus to the remaining content needed to close out act one. This includes the alternative race recruitment narrative (goblins), the Arthdale restoration side quest, and the act one character arcs for all the major NPCs. At the same time we'll be implementing the mechanical improvements, and continuing to work on eliminating the art backlog (there's only twenty-odd missing CGs now, which is impressive as at one point it was around a hundred). We'll also be looking at visual polishing, and sound design, to give it a more professional feel for the eventual release, while beginning pre-production on the first setting of the second act - The Frozen Tundra.

That's all for today. I'll be doing another one of these next month to update you all on the progress of the release.

 

[Xypher]

So the next release is on December?

Also read their past posts, they gonna stop releasing the game for free?

I’m sorry but you’re mistaken, X’zaratl is clearly best... uh, “girl.”

Nice background. More narrative and CG will surelly make the release look a lot better after going bi-monthly.

Thanks! I will try this.

The next release is scheduled for the last week of November.

The current plan is not to release any further free releases and to experiment with a paid only model.
