State of the Game - Crew and Ship Generation

Hey all, wanted to let you know that the monthly state of the game post is now up, with further progress on Carnal Voyages. GUI continues to be very placeholder and probably will be for several more months, but a lot of code work is continuing, particularly in the area of generating NPC crewmembers and building the ships the player will command. With any luck, later this month I'll get to the part where your ships actually go somewhere and do stuff. While things may be a bit quieter while I'm buried in scripting, folks are always welcome to swing by the discord if you have any comments or questions on planned game design or whatnot. If not, see you in a few weeks for the next update!

State of the Game - Scenes & Chargen

Evening all, hope you had a good Halloween! Just a quick pointer to our latest State of the Game post, where I talk a bit about the systems I've been working on this past month, and show off some very ugly GUI. Also, our new species poll has ended with Plants, Goblins and Slimes taking the top spots! Swing by the Patreon post for more info!

Sequel Design Preview

Hey all, wanted to note that the monthly State of the Game post is now up, and it's a long one so I'll just link it here rather than try and summarize too much. But if you're curious about what I'm currently planning for the sequel to Carnal Coup come by and give it a read!

Overseer's Edition Released!

Hey all - it's time! Carnal Coup Overseer's Edition is now on sale on various storefronts, with a bit of a launch discount to boot! As I've already posted the patch notes for this release I don't have much more to say about it, other than to note again that this edition also includes the full set of Stories from Watch Station chapters and a brand new pdf artbook. Additionally, any further bug fixes or QoL updates for Carnal Coup will be aimed for this edition, although of course my hope is for a smooth launch and that I'll be able to soon turn my full focus towards our next project. I'll post more about that in a few days, but until then, swing by and check us out!

Overseer's Edition Patch Notes Preview

Evening all, just swinging by to note that the code and content is looking good for our release of the Overseer's Edition on Friday, and with things settled down we can now preview the patch notes for this upcoming version! A particular focus area was on citizen recruits, with a few changes made to hopefully make finding new agents a little easier. Swing by the Patreon post for more info, and of course, don't forget to check us out and wishlist the game on Steam!

v1.1.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Carnal Coup is now the official product of Figura Games!
• Save files are kept at the default location of "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Figura Games", rather than under "Project Coup". You may may manually copy over any save files you wish to continue using from older versions of the game.
• Company logo added to splash screen.
• 'Dark Mode' button added to Mission challenge screen.
• A tutorial has been added to Missions.
• The 'Citizen Recruits' screen now uses a graphical representation of the number of available agents.
• The conversion rate of recruits from 'inactive' to 'active' has been bumped up from 30% to 33%.
• A 'Return to Office' button has been added to the Visit Citizen screen, allowing you to exit without advancing the time period. However, you will not be able to visit more citizens until the next break period.
• A 'Return to Office' button has been added to Specialist selection screens that were missing one.
• A new 'Focused Recruitment' feature has been added. Once you have acquired at least 30 advancement points over the course of your game, a new option will appear in Hellfire's 'Other Topics' conversations. From here you will have the option to focus your citizen recruitment efforts on specific genders or departments, at the cost of general advancement points. You may choose one gender to pass up, and up to four departments at a time. 

Bug Fixes:

• None

Known Issues:

• TTS dialogue cannot be interrupted once begun. May have issues if triggered on multiple screens at once. TTS support is 64-bit Windows only. 

Carnal Coup - Coming Soon on Steam!

Evening all! After several weeks of effort, I am pleased to announce that the Overseer's Edition of Carnal Coup will be coming soon on Steam! Our target release date will be October 1st, but feel free to swing by the page today to check out the shiny new trailer and add it to your wishlists. This edition of the game will include the following highlights:

• The most recent version of the game, with any and all post-v1.0.1 updates.
• The full set of the Stories From Watch Station side chapters (currently available to Liberator+ patrons).
• A brand new pdf-format art book! Unlike the raw art dump currently given to Overseer patrons, this art book will include design notes and other writings about the game and its universe, and generally be a much more organized collection to peruse.

The game will also be coming to itch and Gamejolt, and I will be updating those pages to reflect the new edition in the near future. In the meantime, thanks for checking it out!

v1.0.0 Public Release

Hey all, almost forgot to post about it up here, but v1.0.0 is now up for free on the Downloads page! This will be the final free release, with v1.0.1 remaining for patrons only. Patreon development as a whole is now largely concluded, however work will be continuing to prep for a digital storefront release of the game. For more info, check out the State of the Game post here.

Thanks again to everyone who's supported the project so far, it has been much appreciated!
