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

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.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where Vessian and Schen citizen seductions were not giving full 'gender points' towards impersonation skill. This fix should be retroactive for old saves.
• 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.

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.
