v0.13.0/v0.14.0 Releases, and 2nd Anniversary Sale

Hey all, it's a new month, and a new version is out! v0.14.0 is now up for patrons, and v0.13.0 has been released for the public at the usual link. This latest release adds the first steamy content featuring Choker, as well as a new shop to purchase upgrade items from. Next month is going to be a big step however, as I've decided it's finally time to start working on the next pair of species: the reptilian Schen and the space goblins of Happee Co! This will mostly involve a lot of behind-the-scenes work to start with, as there's a lot of work that needs to be done to get a new faction set up.

Also, today marks the second anniversary of the Carnal Coup: Overseer's Edition launch! For this week in celebration, it's 35% off on both Steam and itch.io! (Check out the Downloads tab for links!)

Unity also updated their insane pricing plan since the last post, tldr: I won't be making any changes with Carnal Voyages as far as game engine is concerned.

You can check out the Patreon post here, and the patch notes are below. Enjoy!

Hey folks, it's mid-month update time! This update wraps up the Sorority mini-plotline, including adding a new CG, and advances Choker's plotline by a few more scenes as well.

I also have something of a rant about Unity's new pricing plan changes, which I won't repeat here. Suffice to say, Unity's current leadership is insane and may have just killed the company. Whee! Check out the Patreon post here for more details, and you can find the patch notes below:

v0.11.0/v0.12.0 Updates

Hey all, it's update time! v0.11.0 is now available for the public at the usual page, and v0.12.0 is now up for patrons! This update primarily focuses on adding new functionality to the procedural sex scenes, allowing players to request NPC actions rather than having to wait for the RNG to trigger them. There's also a few new scenes in both factions to enjoy. The coming month will focus almost entirely on writing, although adding in the next set of factions may be close on the horizon. For more info you can check out the Patreon post here, or the patch notes below:


v0.12.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

  • Players may now make specific requests of partners during procedural Romance Scenes, rather than waiting for random events:
    • Players must be involved in a multi-person position for the option to appear.
    • Players may make any number of requests, but changing position or canceling requests will turn all requests inactive.
    • Partners with active requests will not randomly change their current behavior, unless they have the 'Royalty' trait.
    • Romance Scene help text updated with current functionality status.

Scene Content:

  • Second scene in Sage Lantana plotline added to Everroots, unlocked 40 hours after the first.
  • Third scene in Harian Civilians plotline added to Victorious, unlocked 40 hours after the second. Bonus variant available with 150 millitals.

Art Content:

  • None

Codex Entries:

  • None

Bug Fixes:

  • Improved reliability of timer flags being updated during save compatibility checks.
  • Fixed bug where the XO character creation screen would display the career selection option if the player character was a shapeshifter (any career selected here has no effect).
  • Fixed issue where the starting ship name would be reset immediately after renaming. Affected ships can be renamed at the DTF Dockyards. 
  • Typo fixes.

Known Issues:

  • None

Evening all, we've got a very Seedcarrier-focused update for you tonight! The lusty fellow is now recruitable for your crew, and a new CG featuring some of his followers has been added in as well! For the second half of the month I'll be going back to code work for a bit, aiming to add in the ability to issue request/orders to your partners in the procedural scenes. After that, it'll likely be going back to work on some of the non-Specialist plotlines for a bit. You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, or the patch notes below:

Game Functions:

  • Seedcarrier can now be recruited and assigned as a Cultural Lt. Commander.

v0.10.0/v0.11.0 Updates and Summer Sales!

It's monthly update time, though alongside the v0.10.0 update for the public and v0.11.0 for patrons, I'd like to note that the Overseer's Edition of Carnal Coup is currently on sale on Steam and itch for a record 50% off! A good time to check it out and pick up the art book if you haven't already.

This latest update focused on a combination of bug fixes and Seedcarrier plotline scenes, including quite a bit of Seeder smut crammed into one of those scenes. I'll be continuing with Specialist relationship plotlines for at least the next update. Til then, you can check out the patreon link here for more info, or the patch notes below:


v0.11.0 Change Log

Game Functions:
  • None
Scene Content:
  • Second Seedcarrier scene added, unlocked 40 hours after the first.
  • Third Seedcarrier scene added, unlocked 40 hours after the second. Contains three different sex scene variants, one unlocked via the Swinger/Gangbanger traits. Will be added to replayable options in the next update.
Art Content:
  • None
Codex Entries:
  • None
Bug Fixes:
  • Corrected bug which allowed for crewmembers to spawn as part of the 'General' career division, which is a placeholder for randomization. Existing 'General' crew have had their careers re-rolled.
  • Corrected bug which was checking the wrong requirements to see whether or not a crewmember had enough Career XP to be promoted.
  • Corrected bug where the Options screen would 'forget' the current resolution settings while in Windowed mode.
Known Issues:
  • None​
