v0.25.0/v0.26.0 Updates, and a Discount!

Evening all, it's monthly update time, but first off, it's also an anniversary! In celebration of the third anniversary of the store launch of Carnal Coup - Overseer's Edition, I've now permantly discounted the game, and it's also on sale for the next two weeks! You can find it as usual on Steam and itch.io!

As for Carnal Voyages, v0.25.0 is now up for the public, and v0.26.0 is out for patrons. The latest release finishes out the Seeder faction plotlines with some smut, and tosses in a special 'reward' scene from the Admiral when you report your progress. With the Seeders done I'll next be focusing on functionality for a bit, starting with the development of the next tier of ship classes.

Hey all, it's mid-month update time! This update kicks off the Seeder finale arc with two scenes, although the finale scene is still in-progress and didn't quite make it for this update.

v0.24.0/v0.25.0 Updates

Evening all, it's monthly update time! v0.24.0 is now up for free at the usual page, and v0.25.0 is now out for patrons. This update includes a new Harian CG (perhaps the last, now that their arcs are complete) and two new Sage Lantana scenes, including a rather smutty back-to-school encounter. All that's left now for Seeders is the faction takeover arc, which I'm aiming to have done by the next update. For more info you can check out the Patreon post here, and the patch notes are below:

v0.24.1 Update

Evening all, it's mid-month update time! This one's a simple one, with two new Seeder scenes, including the climax to the 'civilian' plotline. The rest of the month will focus on finishing up Sage Lantana's plotline, including the smutty climax, before leading into the Seeder system wrapup.

Aside from game updates though, there's also a Patreon update to let folks know about. Due to changes to qualify for the Apple app, in November Patreon will be shifting all projects on 'pay per calendar month' billing to 'pay per 30 days' billing. Apple app users will also be getting charged 30% more.

My recommendation: don't use the Apple app.

You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:


v0.24.1 Change Log

Game Functions:

  • None

Scene Content:

  • Final Seeder civilian scene added, unlocked 20 hours following the previous. Added to replay mode.
  • Next Sage Lantana scene added, unlocked 20 hours following the previous. Added to replay mode.

v0.23.0/v0.24.0 Releases

Evening all, it's a new month with new updates! v0.23.0 is now up at the usual page, and v0.24.0 is now out for patrons! This update focuses almost entirely on adding in the rest of the new chain duty assignments, with 34 new assignments added in three systems. There was also a bit of bugfixing, however for the next month I'll be focusing entirely on wrapping up the Seeder plotlines.

Also, the species selection poll this month wrapped up, with the winners being the insectoid Roth (for the returning species) and the Space Slimes (for the new entries). Thanks to everyone who voted!

You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:

v0.23.1 Update and Species Poll

Hey all, it's mid-month update time! This update features one new story scene, but the primary focus has been on a new type of duty assignment: chain duties. These assignments tell mini-story arcs entirely through duties, and four sets (21 duties in all) have been added in this update. There's still six more sets left to come though, and that will be my primary focus for the rest of the month.

There's also a poll running currently for Liberator+ patrons to choose the next two factions to be added to the game! I'll be adding in one returning species from Carnal Coup and one new faction, the insectoid Roth currently have a strong lead for the returning slot, but the slime/robot competition for the newcomers is still close!

You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:


v0.23.1 Change Log

Game Functions:

  • Functionality to support 'Chain Duties':
    • Chain Duties are Duty Assignments with mini-story arcs, with several assignments which progress in a set order.
    • The first set of assignments within a chain will progress the chain even if they fail, although they will not provide rewards.
    • The climax assignment in the chain will repeat until it has been completed successfully.
    • The final 'epilogue' assignment in the chain will be infinitely repeatable.

Scene Content:

  • Fifth Seeder Civilian scene added, unlocked 20 hours following the fourth. Added to replay mode.
  • Two 'anywhere' chain duty assignment sets added (10 duty assignments).
  • Two Seeder chain duty assignment sets added (11 duty assignments).

Art Content:

  • None

Codex Entries:

  • None

Bug Fixes:

  • None

Known Issues:

  • Chain duty assignments still need additional updates to properly clean out invalid duty options from the list in some cases.
