v0.10.1 Supporter Update

Evening all, it's mid-month update time! This cycle was all about Specialists, with a lot of functionality work towards setting up Specialist recruitment, and a few scenes to get Choker in particular onto the crew. With that work out of the way I'll be spending the rest of the month trying to catch up the Seedcarrier's storyline a bit. I'll also note that tonight's Patreon post features a sneak preview of the new goblin faction portraits, as well as some more details on the plans for Specialist relationship advancement. Check out the post here, or the patch notes below. Enjoy!

Carnal Jigsaw

Hey all, just letting you know that the bonus minigame I was talking about yesterday is now up!

Carnal Jigsaw 

This project was largely an experiment to see what I could get done with 4-5 hours of development time, and I'm unlikely to work on it further, so I'm not making any grand quality promises. However, it includes fifteen lewd puzzles featuring artwork from both Carnal Coup and Carnal Voyages, and it's free for all, so I hope you enjoy!

v0.9.0/v0.10.0 Releases

Hey all, it's a new month, which means new updates! v0.9.0 is now up at the usual itch.io page, and v0.10.0 is now out for patrons! This latest update was entirely focused around post-character-generation customization, with a number of new features added for players with the Shapeshifting trait. Additionally, player name and gender can now be changed at any time from the Personnel Office.

Also, we had a species poll on our next two entries to the game, and the winners are: the reptilian Schen, and the goblins of the Happee Corporation! While they will not make an appearance for a while, artwork will be getting started on them shortly.

For this next month I'll be focusing heavily on writing tasks again, particularly with an aim of getting to recruit your first Specialist NPCs. You can check out the Patreon post here, and the patch notes below:

v0.10.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Shapeshifting player characters will now have the option of temporarily adding or removing genitalia and tails during dynamic sex scenes. Players will not be able to climax if both sets of genitalia are removed.
• Shapeshifting player characters can now change their visual appearance from the Captain's Office. Apparent species, breast size, genitalia and visual details can be modified. If a male character chooses a Roth Mistress presentation or a female character chooses a Roth Drone presentation, their gender will be changed to non-binary.
• Players can now change their name at the Personnel department at Watch Station.
• Players can now change their official gender at the Personnel department at Watch Station. To register as female, neither your true nor shapeshifted species may be Roth Drone, likewise for male and Roth Mistresses.

v0.9.1 Support Update: Extra Smut and New Races

Evening all, it's mid-month update time! This month so far has been almost entirely focused on writing, particularly in regards to replayable smut scenes. For the second half of the month I'll be focusing on implementing shapeshifting, which has been one of the last larger functionality items sitting on my to-do list.

More importantly though, tonight I've also set up a poll to choose the next two races to be added to the game! Right now this is primarily so that artwork can be started rather than actually implementing new content, but this will likely determine development goals for much of the coming year, so it's a big choice. Swing by, sign up and vote! You can check out the Patreon post here for more details.

Game Functions:

• Functionality to support player anatomy as a trigger for dialogue options.
• Dynamic NPC functionality expanded to support default-non-binary characters, and mixed-gender NPC groups.

• 'Mess Hall' scene added to the Captain's Office, unlocked with the Cunning Linguist Personal trait or the Service/Oral Fixation Sexual traits. Uses preference-dynamic characters. Replayable.

There's a number of new market options available at Watch Station in the Figura System, and you can now do some ship window shopping.
