This update focuses entirely on finishing off Double D's cameo arc, ending with some very pleasant lab activities. For next month I'll be focusing on getting the Squeesh antagonist arc started, progressing the new Specialist relationships a bit more, and perhaps getting in a few other scenes for the two newest factions. 

I'll also note that the Overseer's Edition of Carnal Coup on Steam will be joining a new LGBT-focused game bundle very soon, so keep an eye out for that.

Additionally, the poll for the next (and final) cameo slot came down to a tie between Hummer and Princess, and as tie-breaker I have selected Hummer to be the winner.

However, going forward I'll be focusing on setting up the new Slime faction for the game. This faction will take more work to add in than the Roth required, which means there's a chance there may not be any playable content for a mid-month release.

This update is a big one functionality-wise, as it involves a complete overhaul of the crewmember seduction system, allowing for group activities in your cabin as well as a few more options for getting them there. This update also marks the offical end of the 'midgame' development phase, meaning Carnal Voyages is now officially half-way done!

The next few months are going to focus on the next set of factions, and I'll be starting with the insectoid Roth first up.

Evening all, the mid-month update is here with v0.38.1! This update mostly focuses on expanding the combat encounters a bit, with the option of buying new gear for ground combat, and 'practice' options for both ground combat and seduction encounters. Additionally, I've started on the crew seduction revamp by adding in options to directly invite Specialists to your cabin, which in the case of Jodi & Desmon means the first threesome option for the procedural scenes is now available!

For the rest of the month I'll be focusing on the seduction revamp, which will include ways to get multiple-party encounters involving the rest of your crew.
