v0.43.0/v0.44.0 Updates

Evening all, it's a new month and that means that v0.43.0 is now out for the public at the usual page, and v0.44.0 is up for patrons! 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. I've also made my seasonal State of the Game post over on itch if you'd like a general summary of the past few months. Also, you can of course always find the latest news from the Patreon post. Patch notes are below, enjoy!

v0.43.1 Supporter Update

Hey all, it's mid-month update time with v0.43.1! This update brings Sister and Brother onboard as recruitable Specialists, and kicks off Double D's first cameo scene. I'll be focusing on Double D's arc for the rest of the month, so you can expect to see more of them soon. 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.

Also, as a heads up, you can expect to see the Steam and itch spring sales to hit soon, so discounts on the Overseer's Edition of Carnal Coup will once again be on their way. You can check out the Patreon post here for more info here, and the patch notes are below:

v0.40.0/v0.41.0 Updates, State of the Game

Evening all, it's a new year and a new month, which means that v0.40.0 is now up for free to the public, and v0.41.0 is out for patrons! Additionally, the Overseer's Edition of Carnal Coup is once again on sale on itch and Steam. I've made a larger State of the Game post over on itch, but to focus on this month's changes: more insectoid Roth scenes! Each storyline has been progressed a little further, but no sexytimes yet.

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. Either way, there'll be a Patreon update to let folks know. You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:
