VN/TEXT Patreon Active [DaScoot] Carnal Coup - Alien Seduction

[DaScoot]

Hey folks, wanted to post about a game I've been working on for a while, and just took to Patreon this weekend:

It's a sci-fi game, largely text-based, although the goal of the Patreon is to fund additional art. My goal is to eventually get it to the point where there's always something pretty to look at.

The concept involves playing the role of a shapeshifting alien, who's infiltrated an invasion force led by stodgy Terrans who are in the process of absorbing your world into their galactic empire. Your free-forming people are notorious pervs, and in the culture of the empire, that can't be allowed. Using the stolen position of Efficiency Overseer for the Expedition, your goal is to attack the invasion force at every level, from top to bottom, and flip the re-education of the Expedition on its head. From the department directors to the citizens on the street, you'll remind them of the benefits of giving in to your emotional instincts.

Aside from Terrans and Figura (your species), the game focuses on eight alien races, each who've been assigned a different department based on their skills. These races also have their own interests and kinks for you to exploit, featuring:

• Shortstacks
• Furry/Swole
• MILFs
• BDSM
• Femdom
• Herms
• Clones/Twincest
• Foot-Handjobs
• Robots/Cyborgs
• Shapeshifting
• More!

Additionally, much of the game has been written to be gender-flexible. Aside from a few set NPCs, and single-gender species, at the start of the game you'll be able to choose not only the Player Character's gender, but also the gender you would like most of the NPCs to appear as. On top of that, for some scenes, as a shapeshifter, you'll be able to choose your gender on the fly. Play how you like!


The Patreon has launched with a public release, v0.3.0. Sadly I can't yet post direct links on these forums, but if you visit /CarnalCoup on Patreon, you'll find links to the blog, the online version at Itch.io, and the Windows download. The game is being made in Unity, and developed for both Windows and WebGL, although Windows will be the primary focus as WebGL does tend to be more finicky.

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for linking those for me!

I'd post a few art samples of the Harian Commandos as well, but. You can find them on the blog posts from the past month though, if you'd like to see what the Patreon is going towards funding.

Re: Carnal Coup - Patreon Launch v0.3.0 [3/4/2017]

Double update to the game this week - the public release is now updated to v0.3.1, and v0.3.2 is up for patrons! Now that the game's gotten running, future public releases will be a month behind from here on - so supporters get v0.3.2 today, otherwise it'll be public in May.

This week's update focuses on the new image gallery, along with some new art to go in it, a teaser of which you'll find in the updated main Patreon post. Next month will go into our third race, and some Roboticist art designs!

Re: Carnal Coup - Patron Update v0.4.0 [4/14/2017]

An update for my Patrons this week, v0.4.0 is now up! This week features the introduction of the Random Encounter system, which will star scenes put together by our Overseer-level supporters (next poll set is going up next week). Also features the first Vox-focused scenes, the pretty faces pushing the imperial propaganda.

This content will go public around early June for people wanting to hold on to their buck. Still open for comments, though!

Re: Carnal Coup - Patreon Launch v0.3.0 [3/4/2017]

Wanted to make a special mention of the Liberator-tier poll going on now, as it may determine the next few months of game development. Normally I use these polls to determine which of the 8 races to introduce to the game next, which is still an option as there's three still remaining. However, this month I'm also adding the option to move on to mid-game phase development. To quote my Patreon post on what this means:

As I mentioned previously, this month I'm going to be adding 'Begin mid-game phase development' to the Liberator poll, which will be going up this weekend. There's a lot going on there, so I want to lay out exactly what that means (and to have this post to refer back to in coming months if it's passed over this round). So, to clarify, when I'm talking about the 'mid-game', I'm referring to the following features and changes:

Unlock Requirements. I will activate the currently unused requirements for certain scenes, and expand on some of them. This will, obviously, make the game somewhat harder, and I left this off at the start because I didn't want to force people to grind through a limited amount of available content at the beginning. These requirements include:

* Office Upgrades. These will require citizen recruits, and some upgrades may have different options which lead to different customizations. There may need to be some reworking of Director scenes to account for these options.

* Director Meetings. You must have the office upgraded in order to press the directors further down their path.

* Department Visits. Finishing off Department plotlines will require some influence over the directors, allowing you to reduce the usage of inhibitor drugs in their departments.

* Scene Requirements. Certain scenes like Department plotlines and Random Encounters may have various requirements which will be turned on.



Score Mechanics Reworked. Right now there's one current 'Advancement' score which is fairly meaningless. This will be reworked into two different kinds of points: Liberator Points and Infiltrator Points. These will...also be somewhat meaningless until we get to the end-game phase of development, as they will determine what sort of ending you can receive, but there are some other associated changes:

* Specialist Recruitment. Different Recruitment selections will give different points.

* Department Epilogues. Department Plotlines will have their endings modified allowing you to help direct them down one path or the other.

* Other Scenes. Most scenes that currently give points will give points to both categories. How many points things give will likely be rebalanced as we get to the end-game phase.



Specialists & Missions. This is the main category for totally new content during this development phase, and will help put a lot of spotlight on the Specialist characters. These features include:

* Specialist Relationships. As you continue your relationship with your Specialists, you will gain the ability to do Loyalty Missions for them. Complete these, and you can choose to evolve the relationship to Platonic or Romantic levels. The 'Platonic' option exists as the Specialists are the only gender-locked characters, and so they may not be everyone's type, but going for Romance will unlock, obviously, more smut content and possible threesome scenes with other Romantic Specialists.

* Away Missions. Once you've recruited your second Specialist (Hellfire being your first freebie), you will have the option to go on Away Missions, both to the Figura planet and onboard the Station. These Missions will offer a variety of challenges which will lead to a variety of rewards: Recruits, Impersonation Skill, Liberator/Infiltrator Points, and possible other bonuses. The first version of these missions will be simple text based challenges, but once the basics are down I intend to look into adding some sort of exploration aspect to them. Completing these missions with certain team setups may also be the requirement for some of the threesome content mentioned above. Note that this content may be a little unbalanced while some of the Specialists are still missing from the game, and aren't adding their skills to the mix.



A final note I want to make is this will be a long phase to complete, and will likely mean a month or two without a lot in the way of new adult content. If you'd rather put that off, you're more than free to continue voting for more species introductions. But if you've been waiting for this game to have more, well, gameplay, then this will be your opportunity to decide. So, as I mentioned, the poll will be going up this weekend, but I wanted to give everyone a chance to read over what it means first (and if you want to discuss in the comments, feel free to add your thoughts). See you then!

This poll will be going on for the next two weeks, so if there's anyone feeling invested in whether the game focuses on new species or on gamification for the next few months, I thought I'd spread some notice.
