v0.44.0/v0.45.0 Updates

Hey all, it's a new month which means that v0.44.0 is now up at the usual page, and v0.45.0 is out for patrons!

This update focuses both on a number of GUI tweaks as well as more Roth specialist content. This includes a partial 'dark mode' option for the main game text, which I may expand if there's a demand for it. I plan to work a little bit more on the Roth specialists, and I'll probably be spending a chunk of the month catching up the Squeesh specialist to the same level. You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:

v0.45.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

• 'Dark Mode' toggle button has been added to the main screen. Dark Mode will change the background color of the main text, and the background and text colors of the dialogue option buttons. Current Dark Mode state will be saved with your game.
• Save files can now be sorted by name or date, in ascending or descending order. Save sort preference will be saved.

Scene Content:

• Second Roth Specialist ship scene added to their cabin, unlocked 20 hours following the first.
• Third Roth Specialist ship scene added to their cabin, unlocked 20 hours following the second. Requires tactical or engineering upgrade items to complete, rewards with ensign requisitions.

Codex Entries:

• None

Bug Fixes:

• 'Display Visual Options' button text in character generation will now toggle based on options state.

Known Issues:

• Due to a tracker issue, if the first Roth Specialist ship scene was played in v0.44.1 it may trigger one of Gigi's scenes to either repeat or unlock early.

v0.44.1 Supporter Update

Evening all, it's mid-month update time and v0.44.1 is now out for patrons!

This update starts off the Squeesh antagonist plotline, and also sets up the Roth Specialist ship-based scenes. Double D's recent arc also has some new artwork to go with it now. I'll probably be focusing on the new Specialists for a bit to get them up to the relationship stage, although I do have a number of GUI improvement items on my to-do list I'll be trying to check off as well.

The LGBT-focused Steam bundle for Carnal Coup is also now live, so check it out if you haven't already! Might find something on there you'll enjoy. As always, you can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:

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:
