v0.25.0 Patron Release

Evening all, it's time for another Coup update! Unfortunately, due to the limited project time in this cycle, I have only the meager offerings of a few codex entries to present to you. Mission work continues behind the scenes, meaning playable content may also be on the short end for the next release, although I'll try to at least get things screenshot-worthy to show off some progress. For more info, you can see the Patreon post, or the following patch notes:

v0.25.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

* Monthly Cheat Code Updated

Scene Content:

* None

Art Content:

* None

Codex Entries:

* Setting - GPU

Bug Fixes:

Known Issues:

* TTS dialogue cannot be interrupted once begun. May have issues if triggered on multiple screens at once. TTS support is 64-bit Windows only.
* WebGL Issues: Be warned that save game data in WebGL mode is less permanent than PC standalone. May also be more prone to memory and other issues.

v0.23.1/v0.24.1 Releases

Happy new year, all! We have some updates for you tonight; first off, we have the latest public release of v0.23.1 available for you on the Downloads tab! I am currently not offering a Newgrounds link for this release, as something seems to have changed there in the last month or two which is giving it problems hosting some Unity WebGL games. It still seems to work for some people but not enough to show it off there.

And then for new supporter releases, we have v0.24.1! This release is a bit of a grab bag of what I could work in around the holiday season, including a scene, some art, and a bit of codex. I'm planning to get focused back a bit more on missions for the next release, and for more on that you can swing by the Patreon. Enjoy!

v0.24.1 Change Log

Game Functions:
  • Scene Gallery now has multiple pages
Scene Content:
  • New Hellfire conversation option added
Art Content:
  • 'Space Cruise' Citizen Seduction scene background added to scenes and gallery
  • Vox Director CG variants added to scenes and gallery
Codex Entries:
  • Roth Species entry added
Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed issue where loading a game saved at a Break Period, which may immediately trigger a random encounter, would not apply dialogue text coloring properly
Known Issues:
  • TTS dialogue cannot be interrupted once begun. May have issues if triggered on multiple screens at once. TTS support is 64-bit Windows only.
  • WebGL Issues: Be warned that save game data in WebGL mode is less permanent than PC standalone. May also be more prone to memory and other issues.

v0.23.1 Patron Release

Hey all, v0.23.1 is now up for Patrons! This is our first Exploration Missions-focused update, and has a bit of a demo of new functionality for you folks. I do have a fair bit to say though about what does and does not work, so I definitely recommend reading the Patreon post for more details on that. Also, our next free release is currently planned for tomorrow. Keep an eye out!

v0.23.1 Change Log

Game Functions:
  • The Tension cost of tier 5 Department scenes has been reduced to zero. This is a temporary adjustment so that all scenes are available in a single playthrough without cheats, and will be restored once additional sources of increasing Tension have been added to the game.
  • Once Exploration Missions have been unlocked via Specialist relationships, the 'Launch Mission' button will now appear in the Office. This will take you to an example mission launch screen, this is for demonstration purposes only at this time. See the Patreon posting for this release for more details on what currently is and is not functional.
Scene Content:
  • None
Art Content:
  • Citizen Seduction - Private Quarters background added to Scenes and Gallery.
Codex Entries:
  • None
Bug Fixes:
  • Corrected issue in Citizen Seduction - Taste scene where a line was using the player's gender flag rather than the Citizen's.
  • Previously reported issue with buttons during random encounter reviews was due to using an old save file with a version compatibility issue. A check has been added to warn the user if they may suffer from this issue.
Known Issues:
  • TTS dialogue cannot be interrupted once begun. May have issues if triggered on multiple screens at once. TTS support is 64-bit Windows only.
  • WebGL Issues: Be warned that save game data in WebGL mode is less permanent than PC standalone. May also be more prone to memory and other issues.
