[Unity] Carnal Coup - Overseer's Edition Now on Steam!

[DaScoot]

We have a very Grunt-heavy release up for supporters tonight, v0.44.0! A new scene, some new art, a few goodies. We're down to only a single Specialist scene left to add, and while I will miss writing these scenes, it's always good to wrap up another batch of content. We also have a poll running for our higher tier patrons at the moment which could have a noticeable impact on the remaining project development time (whether to focus solely on game essentials for remaining dev or include more non-storyline sex scenes), so if you feel invested in the game's schedule, might be worth signing up for a vote. In any case, the patreon post for the release can be found here, and the patch notes below:

v0.43.1 is now up for free on the usual blog page, and v0.44.1 is now up for patrons! This latest release includes the final Specialist romance scene, closing off a major chunk of content development. Closed off on a bang though, with a fair bit of genderbending options from novice shapeshifters Switch and Double D. Our next focus will be on progression system updates which will help set up the endgame phase of the game, as well as a number of art items currently in progress.

We have an early supporter update out this month with v0.45.0, as we got a fairly hefty chunk of new art and code updates in this past week. We have several new portraits for the Specialist Switch, a new set of mission backgrounds, and a whole lot of foundational work for the point system which will end up directing the player's endgame path. I go into it all in a bit more detail on the Patreon post, so I recommend checking that out for more information. And of course, patch notes to follow:

Spoiler: v0.45.0 Patch Notes

v0.45.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Monthly Cheat Code Updated
• Numerous modifications made to support the Progression system:
  • There are now three kinds of Coup advancement points: General (the original points), Liberator, and Infiltrator. Loading a save from an old version will assign the latter two types to match the General points.
  • The sidebar display has been updated to display the three point types, and the Text To Speech readout has also been updated.
  • The main tutorial has been updated to discuss the advancement system in a bit more detail.
  • The advancement cheat option has been expanded to apply points to all categories.
  • Each point category has been capped at 10000. (This would likely only ever be reached using cheats and is far more than will be required)
• Advancement Points have now been added to Specialist Recruitment and Relationship Decision Scenes:
  • You will only receive points for the first time you do each of these scenes for each Specialist. If you have done the Recruitment scene for a Specialist in a previous version, you will receive bonus points the next time you do their Relationship scene.
  • Telling a Specialist you wish for Peace in a Recruitment scene will acquire you Liberator points. Telling them you wish for a Coup will acquire Infiltrator points. This selection will be remembered for the Relationship scene (unless the selection was made in an older version). You will get double the amount of points if you choose the path the Specialist is more inclined towards.

Mission Content:

• None

Scene Content:

• None

Art Content:

• Nude Feminine Switch portraits updated.
• Masculine and Feminine Nurse Switch portraits added.
• Dynamic backgrounds added for Military Camp-based missions.

Codex Entries:

• None

Bug Fixes:

• The main game tutorial button will now only be available in the office, and the tutorial will close if you leave the office or advance time in the middle of it.

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.
• WebGL Issues: Be warned that save game data in WebGL mode is less permanent than PC standalone. May also be more prone to memory and other issues.

Double update day, with v0.44.1 now up for followers on the blog, and v0.45.1 now up for Patrons! This latest release largely focuses on code work and refinements to the progression points system, including a new system of citizen recruit 'Operations' which you'll be able to use to help your way into the endgame. We also have a bit of new artwork this month, as Octo gets rather handsy with the ladies of the Sorority! The number of items remaining on the mid-game development phase checklist is growing very short, and you can read more about this next month's plans in the State of the Game post here. And of course, patch notes follow:

Spoiler: v0.45.1 Patch Notes

v0.45.1 Change Log
Game Functions:

• The Citizen Recruit screen will now offer the opportunity to launch recruit operations once you have three active recruits. The operations come in three kinds, and each day you will have the option of choosing between two of them.
  • Each operation will require one citizen of a specified species and gender, and two other recruits to support them.
  • Operations will always succeed and grant you a number of advancement points suitable for the operation type.
  • The recruit assignment screen is still in-progress and can be 'Continued' past without assigning agents for the time being.
• Citizen seduction has been changed to a random chance instead of a flat '50 points to succeed' check. Your point value now represents your % chance of success.

Mission Content:

• Mission Encounter rewards have been adjusted. Some options which used to reward General points will now reward Liberator or Infiltrator points. Rewards which still give General points have generally had their point value increased. Some additional points rewards have been added.

Scene Content:

• None

Art Content:

• Sorority/Octo Group CG added to scenes and gallery.

Codex Entries:

• Minor edits to Citizens section.

Bug Fixes:

• The recruit assignment screen will now properly display the number of active female recruits you have.

• WebGL Issues: Be warned that save game data in WebGL mode is less permanent than PC standalone. May also be more prone to memory and other issues.

It's update time again for patrons, this time with something of a foundational release that sets the stage for more detailed scene work to come over the next few weeks. Some very old placeholders have been replaced with actual content, and the game's progression system is now being enforced a bit more strictly. We also have some pretty new art to look at, with CGs added for the Switch/Hummer mindswap scene! You can check out the Patreon post here for more details, or the patch notes below:

Spoiler: v0.46.0 Patch Notes

v0.46.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Monthly Cheat Code Updated
• A new cheat option has been added, 'Add Agents', which will add five active agents of each species and gender with each use.
• Office upgrade choices have been added at each upgrade tier. Selecting an option will require having the needed agents available, although they are not yet being 'assigned'.
  • Note: If you have upgraded the office in previous versions, you will be rolled back a bit so that you have the ability to choose which upgrades you want. Hellfire Upgrade scenes will play at the end of the day as they normally do.
  • New director progress flags have been added, to give a warning when a new office upgrade is required to progress a director's plotline. It may be required to play the director scenes again in order to once again unlock the later scenes.
• Functionality added to support director scene variations based on office upgrade choices.

Mission Content:

• None

Scene Content:

• Small scene to introduce the final office upgrade added, replacing an old placeholder.

Codex Entries:

• None

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed issue where choosing the 'return to office' option at the end of the day would skip any Hellfire office upgrade scenes. (These scenes would play if using one of the time skip options, and were still unlocked for replay in Hellfire's office.)
• Fixed various typos.

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.
• WebGL Issues: Be warned that save game data in WebGL mode is less permanent than PC standalone. May also be more prone to memory and other issues.

Another new update tonight, one of those 'almost all code work' releases as happens sometimes. Most of the remaining major items on the mid-game development phase checklist have been knocked off, with just a little bit left to finish in this phase by the end of the month. We did have some additional artwork which didn't quite make it into this build however, which Infiltrator+ tier patrons can find some previews of along with their monthly cheat code tonight. You can check out the Patreon post here for more details, or the patch notes below:

Spoiler: v0.47.0 Patch Notes

v0.47.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Monthly Cheat Code Updated
• Random citizen encounter scenes which require a certain number of recruits of a certain species will now begin checking if you have the recruits before displaying those scenes. Active status and gender of recruits is not factored in, just the total number.
• Various functionality to get the Recruit Assignment panel to a working state. Clicking on a recruit type will assign that recruit to the first empty slot, provided it meets the requirements. Clicking the slot will empty it. Attempting to continue without assigning all positions will bring up a warning (Not yet implemented for Department scene checks).
• Recruit Operations and Office Upgrades now require you to properly assign recruits before you can continue with the operation/upgrade. Assigned recruits will move to 'idle' status for a random amount of time after being used for an op.

Mission Content:

• None

Scene Content:

• Minor Office Upgrade-related edits to various Director scenes: Propagandists 4, Pilots 4, Workers 4. The office 'home' screen text also now reflects your upgrade level and selections.

Art Content:

• None

• None

• Fixed issue where assigning recruits in the recruit panel would revert to using a placeholder count for the remaining number of recruits.

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.
• WebGL Issues: Be warned that save game data in WebGL mode is less permanent than PC standalone. May also be more prone to memory and other issues.

We have a double update tonight, with v0.46.1 now up for free on the blog, and v0.47.1 out for patrons! This latest release wraps up the mid-game phase of development, and in December we'll be moving into the (much shorter) endgame.

• The scrollbar in Codex entries will now reset to the beginning when switching entries.

It's a new patron release up tonight, with the game's final ending sequences - the bad ones. I mean, not quality-wise, of course, only that they should make you feel bad should you get them. I hope they're very good at that. We also have some new artwork, with some enthusiastic Vessians getting to work, and the Bad End CG now appearing in the game, which you can see a preview of in the Patreon post. I'll be starting work soon on the epilogues, including some of the game's final sexytimes content, so something to look forward to.

Two releases up tonight, with v0.50.1 now up on the usual blog page, and v0.51.1 now out for supporters! This release puts in the last bits of game progression functionality, and also kicks off the Epilogue stage of the game. The Specialist Princess makes her final appearance in the game this month, as do several of the Directors. You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and you can also check out the monthly State of the Game post here for more info on what's coming up. Or, you can check out the patch notes below. Enjoy!

Spoiler: v0.51.1 Patch Notes

v0.51.1 Change Log

Game Functions:

• 'Epilogue Mode' toggle has been added to the office. Once you have reached the epilogue, you may choose to return and play through old scenes, or return to epilogue mode at any time. Note also that citizen random encounters cannot be triggered in epilogue mode.
• Various functionality to support Specialist Epilogue scenes.
  • To unlock Specialist Epilogue scenes you must have completed the Loyalty Mission for that Specialist. To unlock the intimate stage of the Epilogue, you must be in a Romantic relationship with that Specialist.
• Various functionality to support Director Epilogue scenes.
  • In the event that you did not approach a Director as part of your endgame, they will default to being free in a Liberation ending, and locked up in an Infiltration ending.
• Progression functionality changes:
  • 5th tier Director scenes now award 10 Tension when completed. 5th tier Department scenes now cost 10 Tension.
  • 5th tier Director scenes can now no longer be replayed. This includes cases where they were played on old saves.
  • 5th tier Director scenes now cost coup advancement points. Liberation strategies cost more at the start and get cheaper as you use them more often, Infiltration strategies start cheap and cost more as you use them more often. It is recommended that players use a consistent strategy with Specialist recruitments, mission encounter options, and so on, if they wish to be able to afford a consistent strategy with the Directors.
  • Previously, Office Upgrades unlocked essentially as soon as you earned your first coup advancement point, for testing. They now unlock at lifetime point collection levels of 4, 12, 28, and 56 (of any point type). This is the equivalent of playing through 4 Director plotlines, although other point sources can speed it along as well.
  • Specialist Intros will now appear randomly among the first three visits to a Department, rather than always appearing on the first visit. These random values are set at the start of the game and will not affect old saves.

Mission Content:

• None

Scene Content:

• Office description updated for epilogue mode.
• Princess Epilogue scenes added (Liberator ending scene, Infiltrator ending scene, Intimate scene).
• Commando Director Epilogue scenes added (4 variants).
• Roboticist Director Epilogue scenes added (4 variants).
• Cloner Director Epilogue scenes added (4 variants).

Art Content:

• None

Codex Entries:

• None

Bug Fixes:

• Numerous typo fixes.
• Fixed issue where the Lencist camera office upgrade used the text for the Celopi upgrade option in the office description.
• Fixed issue where the recruit assignment screen for the first office upgrade required two recruits instead of the expected one recruit.
• Fixed issue where office action buttons would be missing when exiting the codex.

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.
• WebGL Issues: Be warned that save game data in WebGL mode is less permanent than PC standalone. May also be more prone to memory and other issues.

Hey all, got a big update up for supporters tonight with half a dozen new epilogue scenes added, a new scene CG set, and a whole bunch of fixes and to-do list clearing. Director epilogues are now complete, and for the rest of this month I'll be working on the Sorority's before I move back to checking off the Departments. For more details on all the changes I recommend checking out the Patreon post here, and the patch notes below:

Spoiler: v0.52.0 Patch Notes

v0.52.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Monthly Cheat Code Updated.
• A loading panel will appear when launching a mission, to avoid issues with multiple clicks and for general communication.

Bug Fixes:

• The previous fix for the number of recruits required for the first office upgrade was only partial, the upgrade should now be fully functional again.

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.
• WebGL Issues: Be warned that save game data in WebGL mode is less permanent than PC standalone. May also be more prone to memory and other issues.

It's a big night tonight! First off, v0.51.1 is now up for free on the blog, an update that had a lot of progression changes and set up the Epilogues. Second, v0.52.1 is now out for supporters, containing a bunch of Department epilogues, the final scene for the Sorority, and a nice Figura orgy CG to top it all off. Third, and perhaps the biggest for me: I am now setting a target date for Carnal Coup v1.0! The game is set to be content-complete by the end of June, while I will be continuing Patron development for an extra month beyond that to focus entirely on cleanup and editing and so forth. You can check out the State of the Game post for a lot more details on that, or the v0.52.1 post for more on the latest update. Enjoy!

Evening all...it's here! v1.0.0 is now available for patrons, and the game is now 100% content complete! This doesn't mean the project is fully finished, as I will be devoting July entirely to bugtesting and other polish, but in general over four and a half years of development work have now come to a close.

Hey I played the game and loved it.

Take care of yourself and try not to burn yourself out (same goes for your team).

The month of polish is now done, and so is the project - after about four and a half years of Patreon development, the final patron release of v1.0.1 is now up! This last update includes some Quality of Life improvements, such as non-cheat access to the gallery, and the correction of literally hundreds of typos. Additionally, v1.0.0 is now up for free on the blog! This will be the game's final free release, as v1.0.1 will remain a patron exclusive. You can find out more info on where the project is going from here in the latest State of the Game post, and you can see more details on v1.0.1 on the update post here or the patch notes below. Enjoy!

• Fixed issue where NPC genders in department epilogues would always default to female under 'Anyone' settings.

So what's next for you and your team?

 

[DaScoot]

Right now, I'll be prepping a storefront release, which I'm currently estimating will take me about 2 months. After that, there will hopefully be a sequel, but as the SotG post will tell you, that will be a long time coming.

Cool, I think a break is in order somewhere though.

Evening all, it's been a few but I'm now ready to reveal some of my efforts from this month - Carnal Coup is now coming soon on Steam! The target release date is October 1st, and this version will contain a few bonus items over the standard Patreon release:

• 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.

Feel free to swing by the Steam page today to check out the shiny new trailer, and add it to your wishlist if you so desire. The game will be coming to itch and Gamejolt as well, and I will be updating those pages to reflect this edition of the game in the coming weeks. I'll keep you updated on any further release developments, until then, enjoy!

 

[Mario]

Really impressive to go on Steam!

Congratulations for finishing the game as well. Not many manage to do that and Good Luck with your next project!

 

[DaScoot]

Have a public opinion poll up tonight: which species would folks like to see make an appearance in another game: https://www.patreon.com/posts/55851637 . I'll certainly be including a few, but almost surely won't be able to fit them all, so your thoughts are appreciated!

 

[DaScoot]

Hey all, just here to post up a preview of the patch notes for the upcoming Overseer's Edition! The code and content is all set and locked in for this Friday's release on storefronts, and a number of QoL additions have been made, particularly in making it easier to find citizens to recruit to your side. You can check out the Patreon post for more info, and don't forget to swing by the Steam page and give the game a wishlist, we're less than a week away from launch!

You may choose one gender to pass up, and up to four departments at a time.
