We are nearly halfway through the year, and what a year it has been so far. Over here at Venus Noire we are keeping safe and managing to cope, putting out another new release on time for the end of May. It is another big one that focuses on Rastedel, bringing the arc to a close (other than some smaller stuff to be done later). We’ll now be looking to move on to other areas of the game, namely castle character arcs, and the mechanics update.
In addition to the Rastedel content, with have a number of events in the other castle based pools. We’ve always been doing a little bit of work on the programming side, crushing a much-mentioned bug that was causing village capture numbers to be displayed incorrectly, and adding quality of life improvements to the map; namely the often requisition zoom and pan functions.
This content is not a new release- but instead will be coming up in the next big update!
ADDITIONAL ART
This month we completed twenty-four new CGs, with thirty-eight variants, four new animations, two character sprites and one background:
Rowan x Juliet 1, 2, 3, & 4
Francois the Orc
Rowan x Alexia 1 & 2
Jezera x Alexia 1 & 2

The Goblin Dinner 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5
Rowan x Alexia Animation 1, 2, & 3
Rowan x Shaya Animation
Alternative Delane Sprite
Priest of Chaos Sprite
Mine Background
ADDITIONAL SEX SCENES:
Rowan x Maud (Vanilla, Creampie)
Rowan x Patricia (Maledom)
Rowan x Rylea (Gay, Oral, Anal)
Rowan x Helyana x Liurial (Threesome, Cuckqueen, BDSM)
Tarek x Alexia (Orc, Handjob)
??? x Marianne
EVENTS:
In terms of Rastedel, we have completed most outstanding path lines. What this means in terms of events is that it is now possible to recruit the alternative Northside ally, Maud, as well as choose to corrupt Patricia as Rowan, instead of allowing Ameraine to do it. In addition, Werden’s route, which ended sooner than Patricia/Jacques in previous versions, has been brought in line to the same endpoint, the epilogue, which features three new scenes that take place after the city is sacked.
Outside of Rastedel, we have one very long ruler event, a succubi murder mystery, as well as one new forge job event, and one new barmaid job event. We’ve also added a new Helayna path event featuring a threeway with Liurial, and rewritten parts of the goblin dinner event to bring it in line with Sommy’s excellent new illustration.
That’s it for this month's recap! Keep an eye out for more news as the next update comes together!
It's here! The first major themed content update patch for Seeds of Chaos! This update and the new content is FREE to owners of the game.
Additionally, the game will be available at a special 10% off discount price from May 3rd to May 10th! Already own it? Maybe get it as a gift for a friend!

Well, it is pretty crazy how much everything can change in a month, right? Hope you are all well and keeping safe, and continue to do so until the current crisis is over. Things are in flux right now for everybody, but gamewise, we are doing our best to stick to the status quo. WIt seems like we are holding steady (in fact, we actually increased a little on Patreon). Like all of you, I'm a little uncertain about how things will go, funding wise, if this continues, but we understand the situation. We'll be fine, and there are far more important things to worry about at this moment in time than porn games. :)
Moving on, we are all busy working on the next major content over here, with an aim to get it out at the beginning of May. I'm just waiting on Winter finishing the Rastedel events that didn't get done in time for last month. This will also include the three CGs from last month that didn't get added as they were part of those events. While he is doing that, the other writers are hard at work on their own stuff; Hooky is writing a bunch of random events as usual, while Rein continues to work on the alternate Maud alliance path.
Art-wise, I already have all of the sketches, and most of the line art back from MDN (which the backers have already seen), and these are currently with our colourist who is doing the flats. Sommy is continuing his recent trend of doing pieces with a ridiculous number of characters, and has almost finished the CG for the goblin dinner (which is typically excellent, if I may add). Keidi is also working on two sprites for the new Rastedel content.
Speaking of new Rastadel content, the next major content update for Seeds of Chaos will be known as SIEGEBREAKER.
It'll contain all of the content we've posted about in the past couple of months- with a focus on wrapping up the Rastadel arc. We're also looking into getting Steam Trading Cards live, as well as wrapping up a brand new cinematic trailer!
If you've been keeping up with our posts- this is going to be a pretty massive update and we're excited to bring it to you!
Well, the world is going a bit crazy at the moment, and many of ourselves, yours truly included, are currently trapped in our home, but we do have some good news for you - we managed to get some more updates finished in the past month! In these difficult times, we at Venus Noire hope you are safe, well, and taking care of yourself.
Moving on to the update, it is a bit of a mixed bag. As always lately, we have added more Rastedel content, including a new part of the conclusion featuring another epic set-piece illustration by Sommy that is even better than last month’s sack, and a new ally to seek out in the slums. In addition, we also have a plethora of events from other areas of the game, rounding out a grand total of six new sex scenes, and the usual collection of exciting new artwork.
This content is not a new release- but instead will be coming up in the big May update!

EVENTS:
As mentioned earlier, we have continued working on Rastedel, with one new event following the sack (the coronation - which includes two sex scenes), as well as the beginning of a new route that will allow you to ally with Maud, as an alternative to allying with the young knight captain, Alain. We’ve also added additional content for the Werden release that will be available soon.
Outside of Rastedel, we have added a new ruler event featuring Liurial, a number of new job events for Alexia (including two new sex scenes), a new repeatable event in the wagon (featuring a sex scene with Cla-Min’s daughter), and a number of new map events, both for exploration tiles, and resources (one new sex scene)
That’s it for this month's recap! Keep an eye out for the exciting big new update coming out this May!
Time another update about what we have been up to here at Venus Noire. We've been having another good month on the business side, last month we broke 10k for the first time on Patreon, and we are just about to hit 5k sales over on Steam, as well as having achieved a "very positive" rating! As always, we will push on as best we can, and maybe we can keep this upturn going. :)
I haven't got a lot to say about the release, so I am going to talk about something else (which we'll get to in a minute), other than we are continuing to work on it as discussed last month. There might be one small hiccup as I haven't heard from MDN in a few days (which isn't like him), hopefully it is nothing, but worst-case scenario, we already have last month's CGs (and Sommy is doing another group sex illustration) and I will use these to release the update on time, and then follow up with any missing CGs in a second release ASAP.
Anyway, now that Rastedel is nearly almost finished (oh Lordy, praise Jesus), I thought it'd be a good idea to talk a little about what we are planning to do next. I know I have mentioned it before, but here's a little more detail:
Mechanics overhaul - There's been complaints about the mechanics for a while now, so Rein designed an entire new system in order to address them. This system will allow you to specialize in things such as stealth, deception, etc. using "levels", allowing you to pass checks without random dice rolls, eliminating some of the frustration. Our python coder (who does all the work beyond my skill level), Dragoon, coded the core of this system a few months ago, but we haven't had time to test it due to Rastedel. Now that is pretty much behind us, implementing the new mechanics will be one of our top priorities.
Map update - We are also looking at ways to improve the map. Sommy would like a bit more visual flair, so he is in discussions with Dragoon about what can be done on that front. We'll also be looking at adding quality of life improvements that have been requested in the past (such as a zoom out function, to view more of the map), as well as adding more content to the east side (more villages, resources, and the upcoming Goblin quest).
NPC Story Arcs - Moving on to the writing side of things, we'll be working on giving every major character in the castle a narrative arc that incorporates player choice. The reason we slowed down a bit on character events was that we wanted to move from random events to ones that told a story, so we have been planning for a few months. There are already two of these arcs in the game that have made significant progress (Winter's Helayna events, and Rein's Cliohna ones), and each major NPC will be getting a similar arc. These will be a series of events that shape Rowan's relationship with the people around him, and play out differently depending on your choices. They will not only affect things in act one, but also in future acts.
Other Story Arcs - We've also been doing a lot of planning on the other two arcs that take place in Rosaria, the fey arc, and the goblin arc. Hooky is going to be getting back to mostly working on the fey arc now that Rastedel is pretty much done, so you'll be seeing some of that in the next few months. We'll also be starting on the goblin recruitment narrative in the future, but there'll be more on that nearer the time.
Act Two - We have also been spending a lot of the time in the last few weeks plotting act two. As we get nearer to the end of the first act, we'll be trying to find time to work more on act two to make the transition as seamless as possible. We need to figure out a few things, like how to best import act one data, and look at opportunities to improve the game in a completely new build, but our main goal is to avoid a long delay between the end of act one and the beginning of act two.
The poll CG also finished recently, and the winners were...
Rowan x Alexia 1 (Vanilla) Orc Chieftess x Rowan (Orc, Femdom) Handmaiden (Drider) x Rowan - Female (Monstergirl)
As always, these will be added to the commission list, and done next month.
So, that's it for today. A bit of a long one this month, but hopefully this will have been of interest to most of you!
Greetings everyone- Venus Noire Games here with an update on Seeds of Chaos! We've decided the best way to keep Steam users informed of the updates we're working on is to provide a regular recap of the work we've gotten done- in addition to the combined patch notes for each release.
This is NOT a new release- currently early May is when we're looking to get the next updated Steam build out. Instead, this is a peek at the content we completed last month which will be making it into the next release.
NEW & UPDATED STORY ARCS
The Fall Of Rastadel - As mentioned, the focus this month has been reaching the fall of Rastedel. To achieve this aim, we had to add two new events to finish off the Patricia route (both including sex scenes), as well as two new Alain events (with one sex scene). As well as those, we have also added one very long finale event, made up of a number of smaller sequential events, leading to the climactic scene of conquest.
Rowan & Alexia - We also have two new Ruler events, both focusing on the relationship between Rowan and Alexia. One is a romantic, while the other revolves around joint corruption. There’s also three new Alexia forge job events, including a much requested new sex scene between Alexia and everybody’s favourite furry blacksmith, Greyhide.
ADDITIONAL SEX SCENES
In February we completed eight new sex scenes:
Rowan x Alexia (Maledom, light exhibitionism)
Rowan x Alexia x Wulump (Tentacle on male)
Rowan x Alexia (Vanilla)
Greyhide x Alexia (Minotaur, Oral)
Rowan x Alain (Gay, Anal)
Rowan x Patricia (Cunilingus)
Rowan x Patricia x Ameraine (Threesome, Light Femdom)
???? (secret)
ADDITIONAL ART ASSETS
We've broken our own records so far and were able to produce 21 new CGs, as well as 4 variant backgrounds, and 2 new sprites.
