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:

We also meet the infamous Countess Stitches, and I've patched up a few minor issues with the initial Roth system setup. I'll be continuing with Roth storylines for the rest of the month, although I'll probably be doing a larger state of the game post with the new year.

v0.38.0/v0.39.0 Updates

Evening all, it's another monthly update, meaning the public version is now up to v0.38.0, and v0.39.0 is now up for patrons! 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. I've already done a little work on setting up their home system, and with any luck next update will let you fly by for an introduction. You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below: 

v0.39.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Modified interactive scene to add support for NPCs choosing to perform actions on other NPCs. If multiple NPCs are in a scene, self-pleasure actions will be less likely than with a single NPC.
• 'Seduce Crewmember' button has been removed from the Crew Roster interface. Replaced by the new rec center scene.

Scene Content:

• 'Cabin Invitation' scene added for the XO, unlocked if the player is in a sexual relationship with them.
• Updated all Specialist 'Cabin Invitation' scenes to include options for also inviting one other Specialist (or two for Jodi & Desmon) or the XO. Requires being in a sexual relationship with each Specialist/XO.
• Rec Center scene added to main ship hub.
  • This scene may be visited once every 20 hours.
  • Each crewmember and Specialist will have a 1/3 chance of being present on a given visit. 
  • Player can attempt to seduce present crew in a number of manners (mostly trait-based), and if successful can invite up to two of them to join the player in their cabin for an interactive scene, or up to three if the player has the Gangbanger trait.
  • Specialists and the XO must be in a sexual relationship to have a chance of being present. Specialists and the XO have a doubled chance of being successfully seduced.
  • New Swinger and Lover seduction options added for those traits, with bonuses (or debuffs) based on the percentage of the crew in the rec center at the time.

Art Content:

• Artwork added for Tier 4 Tactical and Engineering ships.
• Roth System map assets added. (Not yet playable)

v0.38.1 Update

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. If I get through that, it'll be time to start on the insectoid Roth faction, although that will mostly have to be next month. You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:

Game Functions:

• Armory shop added to the Quartermaster's department, with the option of purchasing Stun Guns or Rifles for your crew's ground combat encounters.

Purchased weapons will be chosen as the default action during ground combat encounters, but can be swapped back to Fists if desired.

Scene Content:

• New Armory scenes added to the Quartermaster's department at Watch Station. Unlocked following the Admiral's second debriefing.
