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

NEW 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.
This month we have six new 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
