Patch Notes Preview

Added 2021-09-28 00:02:06 +0000 UTC

Evening all, figured I'd drop in with an update now that we're less than a week away from the release of the Overseer's Edition! I'm glad to say that all of my code changes are in and all of my bonus content editing is complete, and things are looking good for an on-schedule release! Since the next release is a paid one and the major changes are locked in I thought I'd post up the patch notes early for this one, to give folks an idea of what will be in it. Perhaps an important thing to note is that I've swapped over the project info to my recently formed legit company, Figura Games, which means that save files from Patreon versions of the game will need to be manually moved over. I may rename this project page at some point but probably not until I'm ready to turn this into a multi-game patreon.

One main area I did spend some time on was with citizen recruits. If you ever got tired of 'rerolling' citizen encounters until you got one you were looking for, there are now options to make that much more efficient. I also did a bit of a redesign of the recruits screen, partially as an experiment into mixing text and graphics which may serve me in the future.

Aside from finishing up work on Carnal Coup I've also been working on design ideas for the sequel and even started on a bit of code work, and I'm feeling pretty close to being able to talk about what I have in mind for that. However, as I'm planning to spend the weekend ensuring the launch goes smoothly, you can expect to see the next State of the Game post where I'll go into all of that sometime next week. I will say that I'm planning quite a few changes...

Think that's about all I have for tonight, so I'll leave you with one last reminder to swing by and add us to your wishlist if you haven't already done so! See you all in a few days!

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.
