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:

v0.37.0/v0.38.0 Updates

Evening all, it's a new month! First off, the Overseer's Edition of Carnal Coup is once again on sale on itch and Steam! It's sadly still unlisted on itch, but it is still there. v0.37.0 is also now available for free at the usual page.

v0.38.0 focuses on the first of the midgame phase updates, with shops now offering new BDSM-themed gear for the procedural scenes as well as all five new ships of the Tier 4 classes, once you've completed four faction plotlines. I'm currently in the middle of setting up new weapons upgrades for the ground combat encounters, after which I'll be working on a revamp of the crew seduction system, particularly to allow for large group activities. You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:
